feel that you must know that the
business and industrial depression
which has afflicted our nation for over
two year has affected adversely those
who have undertaken to become home
owners, and that in every county OF
our state the newspapers thereof are
carrying advertisements of foreclos-
ure proceedings in relation to mort
cages on homes, and that these homes
are being offered for sale by the sher-
ifs of the several counties of the
state.
Because Of the depression, all val
ues are down, and this is particularly
true in relation to real estate. By
these foreclosure proceedings all resi-
Dental property is being further de-
pressed in value. Wage earners and
others who have been industrious and
frugal and have endeavored to become
home owners are being dispossessed
Of their homes by these foreclosure
proceedings and sheriffs' sales, and
because of the lower values of real
estate find themselves not only los
ing their homes, but also the monies
they have paid on them.
Should not the state of Ohio make
an effort to save the homes of a
great number of its citizens who have
been Industrious and frugal?
Situations in which many of the
people of Ohio now find themselves
should be eased, if possible, in the
interest of the public welfare, and
this can not be done, in my judg-
ment, without courageous and patri-
otic action on the part Of the general
assembly of Ohio and the governor

izens have found themselves fol

HOOVER SIGNS
Anti-IniunctiOn Bill Long
Fought For By Labor

Washington, D. c. GLNS)-Final
victory in organized labor's 14-year
fight to curb the use of injunctions in
labor disputes came on March %,
when President Hoover signed the
Norris-La Guardia anti-injunction
bill.
In signing the bill, the president
made no comment but made public a
letter from Attorney General Mitchell
criticizing the bill and raising the
question of the constitutionality of
some of it's provisions, the validity of
which he said could only be settled
by judicial decision He mentioned
specifically the section dealing with
the "yellow dog" contract as one OBJ
iected to because of alleged uncon-
stitutionality. Mitchell's letter was
seen by labor men as forecasting a
judicial assault on the bill. In this
connection, labor has not forgotten the
famous Clayton act, many of whose
provisions favorable to the workers
were knocked out by supreme court
decisions.
Provisions of the bill rigidly limit
the use of the injunctions in labor
disputes, outlaw the hated "yellow
dog" contract and recognize the right
of labor to organize and bargain col
lectively.

VALUABLE RESULTS
Can Editorial in the Editor and
Publisher)

1t came to our notice recently that
the newspaper advertising campaign
carried on by the American Fedora
ton Of Musicians in newspapers two
years ago had some extraordinary re-
suits. 1t will be recalled that the
copy resisted canned music" on the
theory that it was no fit substitute
for Giving music" and the plain OBJ
ject was to prevent unemployment
disaster to the more than 100000 mu-
sicians in the union. 1t was said at
the time that about $1,000,000 was
spent in the campaign, one of the
most novel and interesting publicity
enterprises in history.
A recent analysis of employment
conditions in the field of music as it
relates to the theatre shows that work
for musicians has risen to within
about so per cent of the peak period
in the boom years of 1928-29 Where
as the whole theatrical musical pro-
fession was apparently about to be
wiped out by Hollywood artificial mu-
sic through ampifcation, the adver-
tising campaign in some 675 news
papers resulted in arousing public
sentiment against the substitution
with the result that the perilous
movement was checked and condi-
tions are now steadily improving.
We have no way of knowing just
what this reversal meant in dollars
and cents in two years to the mem
bers of the union, but it must have
been a substantial amount, surely
justifying the expenditure in mani
fold. 1t is an interesting fact that
the musicians advertising copy, mild
and very judicious, was sufficiently
bring to the organization more than
100000 signed pledges from music
lovers to resist any deDasement of
the art. At the time, we thought the
campaign was difficult operation,
but had faith in the fairness and
esthetic pride of the American people
to see the matter through, if and
when a fair statement of the issue
was presented to their attention. Our
faith has been justified.
Newspaper advertising does not
fail when intelligently applied for
good causes. The day will come when
governments will use the method
which the musicians tried out We
can think of many high public move
ments, now dragging their slow
course in public opinion, which might
be energized and brought to fruition
by practical advertising methods.
When the musicians appropriated
their funds for this cause they were
better advised, peChaHs, than they
knew. They blazed trail which
others might emulate to their profit

as basic workday for railroad EN-
ployes. Eight hours is the present
basic day.
The commissions report will in
clude estimates of the cost of estab
fishing the short day for all railroad
employees. The commission is also di-
rected to determine what effect the
shorter day would have on railway
operation and service.
The resolution was urged by the
Raiwlay Labor Executives Associa-
tion and the American Federation of
Labor, who regard reduction of hours
as the only adequate method to at
tack unemployment caused by labor
displacing machinery.

SHORTER HOURS
Without Wage Reductions
Asked For British Labor

London, Eng. = Shorter working
hours to provide jobs for the British
unemployed must not involve any re-
duction in wages.
This important point in the policy
of the British Trades Union Congress
is emphasized in letter to the affil-
lated unions by Walter NJ. Citrine,
general secretary of the congress.
"The number of unemployed men
and women can be lessened by a re-
distribution of employment" Mr. Ci-
trine said, "but if this involves a gen.
eral lowering of the wage level, it
means lowering of the standard of
life of the workers, and step back

istence which it is the purpose of the
trade union movement to prevent.
Moreover, through the decrease in
wages, the diminution in purchasing
power would tend to defeat the very
purpose for which the reduction in

the decrease of unemployment.

OUR BARBAROUS
CIVILIZATION

The dreadful modern arsenal
A product of the times;
A creation of scientists
Boosting of civilized minds.
Nothing could be farther
From the truth, we say;
It's just another method
Our fellowman to slay.
We boast of our refinemenets-
Our culture and Christian creed;
And use the same to cloak or shield
Our Unsuitable greed.
Just what is meant by conscience
Many cannot tell;
Good intentions pave the road
All the way to hell.
The muss and muck of systems
Have tangled about our feet;
The ethics of most of them
Are to swindle, rob and cheat.
This modern mess about us
Is no exception to the rule;
The games the same as always played
A paradise of the fool.

of these citizens made part payments
on homes, giving mortgages on the
properties for the balance due, and
contracted to pay weekly or monthly
on such homes covered by mort
cages. They are now unable through
no fault of theirs, to continue to
meet their obligations to building and
loan companies and banks, or their
taxes, and their homes are being Of
fered at sheriff's sales. A great num-
Der of homes have already been sac
rifced by such sales, and the savings
of the home owners, contained in the
homes, lost to them. Another tax
paying period has passed, and be-
cause of the inability of thousands
of these citizens to pay their taxes,
more foreclosure proceedings and
sheriffs' sales will take place unless
the general assembly acts to pre-
vent it. Such sales can only add to
the encouragement and bitterness of
the dispossessed, largely destroy the
ambition to own home, reduce the
living and home standards of thou
sands of Ohio citizens, and promote
social and industrial unrest.
Perhaps you will agree to large
extent with what | have so far writ
ten, but, like many, be at loss to
apply remedy. May | not suggest
one or two for your consideration.
If these are not sound or do not meet
with your approval, the suggestions
made may cause you and Governor
| White to think of others which may
alleviate the condition above referred
to and thereby "Save the homes" and
"the Home Owners Stake in Amer
| ica."
| suggest, first, that perhaps under
a slogan, "Saves the Homes" the
| legislature might, in some manner,
set on foot a movement to secure
through the banks, insurance COM
panies and building and loan COM
panies moratorium for home own
ers. If this is not feasible or prac-
ticable, perhaps the legislature could
find way to organize public bodies
of responsible citizens of financial
| the state to loan monies or extend
credits to deserving citizens of char
acter, who are home owners, to pre-
vent the sale of their properties by
foreclosure proceedings and sheriffs'
sales during the present period of de-
preston.
Aside from the relief which would
thus be given to distressed home own
ers, it would tend to maintain, if not
restore to some degree, values in re-
lation to residence property and
thereby prove beneficial to builders
of and dealers in such properties as
we'll as safeguard many of the pres
ent holders of mortgages.

delinquent taxes might be helpful, but
