The Relief Demanded
Is Reasonable

And these workers are
right in demanding the end
ing of the evils of injunc-
tion. We heard this de-
mand when we were chill
dren. The relief demanded
is reasonable and just. The
courts of America were not
intended to substitute for
strikebreakers.
There is nothing in the
Norris measure that deprlves
property Of it's just protec-
ton against violence, but
there is something in the
present law which deprives
the workers of the rights Of
free men.

tion has taken the head of
the procession in cutting
workers from their jobs.
The workers demand a
fiye-day week; and this is
called drastic by many
people. The petition reads:
Instead of forcing
working people into idle
ness during periods of
economic recession labor
demands that such adjust
ments in the number of
days worked per week, and
in the number of hours
worked per day, must take
place so that all may share
equitably in the amount of
work available. Work Sc
curity must be substituted
for anxiety and unemploy-
ment. The management of
industry which has failed
so miserably must rise to
new heights and assume
new positions"
Certainly if the displace-
ment of man power by ma
chinery is to be pushed at
the present rate something
Of the sort is inevitable, un-
less we are prepared to
gamble on the possibilities
of having a vast army Of
chronically unemployed.
Float a
Prosperity Loan
And the workers want
work-work created as it
can be created by Govern
ment in a crisis graver than
that Of the late war-by the
floating Of a prosperity loan.
For these men, willing to
work, anxious to work, have
right to work-and the
right to demand work. Is it
possible that there are men
who still believe that this
right to work and live can
be lightly brushed aside for
long2
We are not shocked by
this statement from the pc
tition:
Working people no
longer concede to industry
the right to provide work
at will or to force millions
of people into unemploy-
ment. They hold that the
right to work is a funda-
mental sacred right.
Of course that is true.
No society can sustain it.

What Can
Congress Do?

Congress Do?
Some of the demands
would seem to be beyond the
power Of government to con-
troll. Such is the demand
for the cessation Of wage
cutting by private indus
tries. More than a year ago
we all agreed that pros
perity cannot be restored by
greatly reducing the pur-
chasing power Of the people
who still have jobs. Every
one was most vehement on
that point. The President
himself asked private in
dustry not to slash wages;
but he had no power be-
hind the request.
We are now in the full
tide of wage reducing. This
means just one inevitable
thing-the lowering of the
American standard of living.
That is the intent on the
part of a few industrial
leaders with a mad-dog
policy who are unable to see
beyond the end Of their
noses.
For some years industrial
leaders of a type, with their
organizations, calculated that
by reducing wages, increas-
ing prices through legisla-
ton, and displacing labor
with machinery, they could
increase their profits. This
must have been predicated on
the insane notion that with
workers reduced in purchas-
ing power and thrown upon
the streets the demand for
their products, nevertheless,
would be maintained.
The Government
Gives Its Blessing
Only a moron believes that
now.
But what can Congress dot
The petition comedies the
point, but says. that in the
present plan to reduce the
wages of governmental
workers, as is proposed, the
Government itself gives its
blessing to the slashing of
wages by private industries.
In the hysteria of the mo-
ment there is danger that
Congress may do this very
thing.
The truth is that the Gov
ernment has not set a good
example in many ways. 1t
really is absurd for the
President to ask private in
dustries to maintain their
working forces while reduc-
ing the working forces in
the postal service by lower
ing the standard of that SER
vice.

Five-Day Week and Six
Hour Day

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 17.-(P)-The
Minnesota Federation OF Labor has
pledged itself in convention to fight
for a five-day week and six-hour
day with no wage cut.

HAS GARNER'S BACKING
Action Is Planned Despite Pres
ident's Plea That Publicity
Be Omitted

Washington. Aug. II. -@-C Con.
trary to the expectations of President
Hoover, the clerk of the house intends
to make public the details of loans
made by the reconstruction finance
corporation since July 81.
The corporations first report on
the loans Is due to be submitted to
congress this week. South Trimble,
house clerk, has written an eight
page brief giving his reasons for in
terpreting the relief law as making
publicity mandatory.
Trimble feels, as do Speaker Garner
and Representative Rainey. Demo-
cratic leader, that he has 10 choice.
He disagrees that further congress
sional action is necessary.
The publicity provision got the re-
lief bill into snarl that threatened
to prevent adjournment. At the in
sistence of Garner and Rainey the
measure included instructions that
monthly reports of loans should be
transmitted to the clerk Of the house
and the secretary Of the senate.
President Hoover summoned lead
ers of both parties to the white house
to ask that the publicity phase be
omitted. A statement from the ex-
ecutive mansion explained the presi-
dent favored fullest publicity to all
government activities" but that the
then directors Of the relief corpora
ton advised the president of the
danger that would result to the credit
structure If this publicity proviso)
were insisted upon"
Garner renewed his fight for the
provision. Rainey said it must be
included or there will be no relief
bill" The completed law contained
the pf1raseology, in outline at least
demanded by Garner.
Trimble's brief recalls that many
reports submitted to him are made
public. such as those of campaign ex-
penditures: that the house last ses-
sion directed that its payrolls should
be open. 1t comedies the publicity
clause is not retroactive but that any
Interpretation of the language III
view of the intent of congress is that
the loans must be made public.
Unless the house clerk changes his
mind or something else prevents. the
public soon will have peek at loans
by the government to banks, railroads,
insurance companies and other In
terests since July 81.

TRADE CONFERENCE
BADLY SNARLED ON
RUSSIAN BUSINESS
Canada and Australia Demand
Protection Against Dump.
ing BY Soviet

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 17.-R-Plans
Of the Imperial trade conference to
conclude its agreement and adjourn
Thursday were wrecked wednesday
over the question Of Britain's trade
with Soviet Russia ant the end wa.
put forward to Saturday.
It became obvious the plenary ses-
sion could not be held Thursday when
Stanley M. Bruce and j. G. Coates
leaders of the Australian and New
Zealand delegations. joined forces
with Prime Minister Bennett of Can
ada in demanding dominion products
be protected against Soviet dumping"
in British markets.
That means in effect, it was said,
the trade preferences offered the
United Kingdom may be abrogated if
the British do not find some way to
guarantee empire products will not
be undersold by the Russians. The
whip apparently had changed hands
and the British were represented as
astounded at the daughter nations die
tating to the motherland.
Well informed sources said the con-
ference might take the form of an
agreement in principle" of indefi-
mite character.
For Great Britain, the Russian sit
uation Is complicated by a most-fav-
ordination treaty concluded between
the old labor government and Soviet
Russia, by British claims against Rus
STA. and by outstanding trade credits.
Canada takes the view, as does Aus
tralia, that tariff preferences alone
are Of little use against Russian
dumping" as, owing to her economic
system, Russia can undercut any Or
binary preferences. What is desired
Is some more effective method-by
quota or otherwise.
Other things Canada was asking in
addition to restrictions on Russian
competition and preferences on wheat,
lumber, bacon. other meats, butter,
cheese, poultry, fruits, and fish.
were:
Removal of restrictions on Canadian
live cattle to provide potential mar
ket for upwards Of $4,000 animals an
nually.
Continuation after November is of
existing preferences on empire manu.
featured products to facilitate the
sale in Britain Of Canadian newsprint
and wood products, machinery, hard
ware and cutlery. farm implements.
rubber goods. and other such pro-
ducts.
Substantial preference on Canadian
base metals, zinc spelter. lead in pigs,
copper ore, bars. rods, aluminium, plat
mum concentrates and brass.
1t was virtually assured the United
States would have to fight hard for
about $50. 900 900 Of trade annually II
the proposed bilateral agreements
were carried to fruition. Some believ-
ed trade with other dominions would
