HERE'S TO YOU, CHICAGO.

Chicago has its ways about things.
If it has bigger gangsterism than
most other cities it also has monu-
mental achievements to the good.
Chicago has the only genuinely la
Dor radio station in America. Ed
ward N. Nockels is the man behind
that achievement. Amid all the cla-
NOR and fuss of distracted world,
Ed Nockels goes serenely along,
building great radio station that
shall equal any and surpass most.
Ground for this new and finer instru-
ment for VIGIL has just been broken.
The day of the ceremony was rainy
day, but in the years to come the
achievement will be remembered, the
rain forgotten
Here's to you, Chicago, doer of
things.

HOW GOOD is GOOD NEWS?

Past days have brought much gooc
news. There have been accounts OF
e-employment and of riding prices.
Good news is welcome and over.
welcome
But be not carried away without
examination to see how good is the
good news.
There is still a surplus of wheat
and of cotton. Two basic commodities
And iron, and steel and copper, three
more basic commodities, evidence no
haste in jumping upward.
June marked the worst unemploy-
ment. About July we cannot yet be
sure
But prosperity is not yet upon us
and over-optimism won't help wage
earners. There have been good signs,
but not enough for conviction thus
far.

Strike Closes Two Textile
Mills in Salisbury, N. C..

Salisbury, N. C.-The Rowan Cot
ton Mills here were closed by walk
out of approximately 200 employees
who demanded a wage readjustment.
On the first day of the trouble most
of the day shift walked out and only
the spinning room was running at
night. The next day SO few workers
showed up for work that the mill
management decided to close down
the plant.
Negotiations were still under way
looking toward a settlement of the
strike at the Salisbury Cotton Mills
here, where 800 workers struck Au-
gust / for higher rate of pay. Sew
eral prominent citizens were confer
ring with mill officials and strikers
representatives with view to ending
the strike. The strikers remained firm
in their demand for higher wages.

of work. This estimate is based or
government and trade union figures
About 100000 workers in indus
try were laid off between January ano
June, but temporary jobs on farms
took care of 100000.
The increase in unemployment since
the first of the year is the most dis
quieting feature.
Mr.. Green takes occasion to renew
his advocacy of shorter work hours
as a permanent means of aiding en-
ployment as well as an emergency
measure.
He estimates that at present there
is only thirty hours work week for
each able-bodied person in this coun-
try.
Without doubt he has pointed out
the first and most practical approach
to the solution of his problem.
The available work must be equit
ably apportioned, and this cannot be
done too soon.

RAILROADS AND RAILROAD
WAGES

Railroads have been given the full
est possible cooperation by the en-
ployes of railroads.
In February the railroad unions
agreed to accept 10 per cent wage
reduction, for which the railroads
were to use every means of spreading
work
But work has not increased. Raj
employees decrease in number.
Now the railroads are talking about
further reduction. This time they
will proceed-if at all-under the
terms of the railroad labor law, which
provides for negotiation, conciliation
arbitration and presidential fact
finding body.
The railroads are not in their pres.
ent predicament because of wages, but
because of several other reasons, out
standing among which is a structure
of financing beyond what ''the traffic
will bear"
For decades the roads absorbed one
set of obligations by creating another
and usually larger set. The time has
come when that custom doesn't work
In other words the roads are at the
end of the line.
That rail executives seek now to
visit upon the workers the penalty
for the sins of long line of railroad
exploiters indicates clearly, if fresh
indications are needed, the utter lack
of logic used by rail executives and
their utter inability to see humanity
as primary concern.
In this it may be said that rail-
roads are not exceptional, but at the
moment they furnish the outstanding
example. Some day and somehow the
overload of financing, as it is politely
called, will have to be got rid of.
There are other elements in the rail-
road equation, but this one remains
one of the biggest and perhaps the
root evil of them all. AS for labor,
it has never had enough, and for

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

Spencer Miller, Jr., secretary of the
Workers Education Bureau of Amer
lea, told the University of Michigan
Institute of Labor that prior to the
depression from 100000 1000 900
workers were normally" unemployed
in the United States. He also pre-
dicted that after the depression ends
if it ever does-around 1900, 900
will be normally" and permanently
unemployed unless the hours of labor
are drastically shortened.
By normally" unemployed Mr.. Mil
Ter undoubtedly meant the number of
jobless under conditions which obtain

RUSH THE THIRTY-HOUR WEEK
EVERYWHERE

In Washington there have been
white house conferences on business
recovery.
Business recovery hinges on labor
recovery.
Labor recovery depends upon short
ening the work week to at least 80
hours.
There will be no recovery if the 30
hour week is introduced here and
there. 1t must be introduced UNI
VERSALLY.
The presidency can and should Gre
ate public opinion that will not toll
crate the long work-week anywhere.
A sufficient public opinion can be
created to make the long work week
social crime
There's a war TO win-a WAR
AGAlNST DEPRESSION, a war
against hunger and misery.
The nation must line up SOLIDLY
against and FOR human well-being
and decency.
A process of infiltration, as they
used to say in 1917, will not work
fast enough. There must be a fast
and sweeping offensive against the
long work week. A long work week
is anything over 80 hours.
The American Federation of Labor
has declared for the only program
that will work
There must be shorter work week.
If there is not haste a 3O-hour week
will not be short enough. The more
the delay the heavier the penalty.
Let there be great national cru
sade for the 30-hour week NOW!

TAYSTEE BREAD UNFAIR

Despite all efforts of the Bakers
Local Union to reach a satisfactory
adjustment of their grievances with
the Purity Baking Company, no fur.
ther progress in the strike situation
at the plant has been made during
the past week. The plant is still on
the unfair list of Hamilton organized
labor. It's chief product is Taystee
bread This bread does not bear the
union label, and all organized labor
and friends are asked to take cog
nizance of this fact and act accord
ingly. Tell your neighbors and
friends about it, and tell them that
none of the Purity products bear the
union label and so of course are nom
union made.
And while you are at it tell them
of the many other brands of bread
cakes and other baked goods coming
to Hamilton from outside cities and
which do not bear the label. Tell
them not to buy these goods. Tell
them to buy only label-bearing goods
to be sure they are baked in clean,
sanitary surroundings. The label is
always a guarantee of clean condi-
tions. And tell them at all times,
for their own financial benefit, to
buy only Hamilton baked goods.

institutions conduct their business
"as usual" with maximum profits for
the owners and scant regard for the
interests of labor.
The figures cited by Mr.. Miller were
interpreted in some quarters to i'm
ply the necessity for unemployment
insurance. They imply nothing Of the
sort.
Unemployment, whether normal
or abnormal" is caused by the refu-
sal of employers to adjust the num-
ber Of work hours per week in accord
ance with the increased output of la
Dor under machine production. AS the
increased output per worker enables
fewer workers to produce a certain
unit of commodities, reason dictates
that the working hours for all the
workers should be reduced so as to
keep them all earnings wages But
employers apply the unreasonable pol
icy of discharging some workers and
making the smaller number work as
many hours per week as did the lar
ger number. This employer policy is
the cause of unemployment.
Unemployment insurance advocates
say the jobless workers., created by
the will of the employer, shall be
supported on starvation rations dur
ing their idleness. This scheme per-
petuates unemployment. 1t sets up
two groups of workers with two liv-
ing standards. One group with rela-
lively steady employment will be able
to buy a good living for themselvevs
and their families. The other group,
the insured jobless, will be compelled
to live on the disgustingly low stand
ards imposed by the disgustingly low
benefits paid them from insurance
funds.
Labor abhors unemployment insur-
ance. Labor abhors any institution
that will perpetuate unemployment
Labor demands that unemployment
shall be prevented, not perpetuated.
Unemployment can be prevented by
making the work week and work day
short enough to put all the ten mil
lions of lobless to work and keep
them short enough so that all the
workers shall be employed in the fu-
ture.
Shortening the work week and
work day to end unemployment is
thoroughly reasonable.
Unemployment insurance to per-
petuate unemployment is thoroughly
unreasonable.-Ex
