SUBSISTENCE GARDENS"

Planting jobless railroad workers
on unused land so that they may
grow at least portion of the food
stuffs necessary to keep them and
their families alive is the favorite
method used by railroad executives
to meet the unemployment emergency,
Subsistence gardens" is the technical
term used to describe the soil-tilling
scheme.
Mr.. R. III. Ashton, chairman of the
executive committee of the Associa-
tion of Railway Executives, who is
also a member of the Presidents
Organization on Unemployment Re-
lief, sponsored the subsistence gar
dens plan with railway executives
throughout the country as a ':prac-
tical" measure to enable the thou
sands of railway workers whom Mr..
Ashton and his associates refuse to
employ to wrest at least a part of
their living from the soil.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Mr.. Aishton's Association
of Railway Executives regards as i'm
practical the proposal of the railway
labor organizations, supported by the
American Federation of Labor, to re-
duce the length of the work day from
eight hours to six for railway work
ers and thus go long way toward
abolishing unemployment in the rail-
road industry.
Mr.. Ashton and his associate own
ers and managers of our railroads
carried their opposition to the six
hour day to the interstate commerce
commission, and persistently fought
it all through the investigation made
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-07-01

by that body, under a joint resolution
of congress, to determine the prob
able effect of the application of the
six-hour principle to all branches of
the railway service.
The six-hour day would enable the
railway employees to live according to
decent standards. Moreover, it would
permit them to enjoy some of the
benefits flowing from the revolution
ary increase in their output during
the last few years resulting from the
application of labor-saving machinery
and methods in the railway service.
Shorter hours of labor, not vege-
table gardens, is the most practical
remedy, and in fact the only remedy,
for unemployment. 1t is regrettable
that Mr.. Ashton and his associates
are SO vegetable minded. They re-
semble the ostrich who blinds him
self to facts by sticking his head
in the sand.

YOUTH FACES A PROBLEM

In recent weeks, 756,O00 boys anc
girls in this country have graduated
from high schools, and 131, 500 some.
what older boys and girls from col
leges and universities. For all o1
them this closed a period of hare
work. For most of them it meant
considerable sacrifice, their own ol
that of their families.
Thus at great cost, not always te
be measured in money, these young.
sters have been put through a pc
riod of preparation for better anc
more valuable service. They are
eager to work, eager to start out ir
life, eager to give service that vii
justify the efforts of their parents
and of the public. And what do they
find?
They find world which will not let
them work; world which preached
to them in school about the dignity
of labor, and now will not allow them
to earn a living.
Their young strength and enthus-
iasm are pushed back, rebuffed, left
unused. Their training goes for al
most nothing, for they find equally
we'll trained people, with experience
added, standing in the bread lines.
The industrial world will not let
them help to make it richer; it just
doesn't want them. So far as the
economic organization of society is
concerned, these youngsters can get
off the earth.
Was ever such insane folly seen
on such scale before?
The young man who cannot get a
job is not so crushed as the middle
aged or old man who has lost a job
But there are other things to con-
slider. The young man denied work
either gives up trying for it and be-
comes a parasite, or he strikes back
The youth of America can be turn
ed into the nations greatest asset;
or into focus of unrest and revolt.
With the third crop of graduates
coming from school since the depres-
sion began, it is about time to con-
slider our youth at the gate.-Re-

THE CHILEAN REVOLUTION

DIR. Carlos Davila's revolution in
Chile, whatever it may in the end
turn out to be, is at the ouset at
least one definite thing-it is a ma
tional protst against foreign ex-
affairs. Cosach, the name under
which all Chilean nitrate production
was reorganized recently, was put in
the field to utilize the new Guggen-
helm mechanical method displacing
manual labor, and it was given capt.
tai structure too heavy for the traf-
fic. That seems to be one of the
main resentments brought to fruit
through the revolution.
The foreign investor who thought
Chile was his oyster seems to be due
for session without his oyster.
Chile is but a part Of that vast Latin
America exploited by foreign capi-
talists for three centuries.
Whether Chile will go "red" re-
mains to be seen, but that foreign
exploitation has caused the masses
of its people to "see red" was long
since clear to great many people.

STOCK OWNERSHIP
Joins Galaxy of Bursted
Bubbles; Workers
Gyped

Princeton, N. j. Employe
stock ownership, always condemned
by organized labor as snare, de-
lusion and often something worse, has
shown that it cannot stand depression
any better than most other lines of
business.
Princeton's industrial relations
section has completed a study of what
has happened to employe ownership
of stock during the two and half
years of depression and finds that
plenty has happened. The employe
who bought stock will be lucky if he
breaks even and has for his trouble
only the worry and the loss of the
use of his money for other purposes.
The university picked 20 big COM
panies for it's study. These normally
employ million and half workers.
They include two steel companies, two
each of public utilities, railroads and
automotive companies, four oil COM
panies, one store chain and seven mis-
cellaneous manufacturing companies.
Of the 20, five have quit cold-their
plans have been dropped finally and
definitely. In five others no recent
Offering has been made. In two COM
panies no dividends have been paid
for two or more years, one quit in
1881 and four quit in 1882.
While subscribers in most plans
were protected against heavy losses
by various so-called bonus provisions,
five of the 20 plans had no such pro-
visions. Some companies have re-
adjusted the purchase price as quota
tions went down, but in some cases
the quoted prices have fallen SO fast
the companies could not keep up with
the drop.
1t is reported that in the main
stock owners will suffer but little in
actual cash loss, but the point is the
glowing promises made to workers
by stock-selling corporations have
fallen fiat as a Hancake, and the
worker cannot cash in on them, as
he was told he could do.
Only nine of the 20 companies list
ed are still paying dividends.
Meanwhile unemployment has add
ed it's own grim disillusionment.

AND THE MORAL?

A scientist has discovered a re-
markable similarity between grass
hoppers and humanity.
Grasshoppers, he finds, do not
start out on mass forays to destroy
crops until they are overcrowded
Then they change their dispositions,
even their shapes and color. and start
out ravaging. Like humans, being
too crowded and hungry, they go on
the march hunting food.
1t is the idea that if the hoppers
can be kept from getting too crowd
ed they will not turn into locust
scourges and crops will be saved from
their mob appetites.

FURLOUGH WINS

Organized labor is entitled to vast
credit for victory of the furlough
plan for government workers as an
alternative to out and out pay cuts.
The furlough plan compels all
workers earning over $1,000 to take
months vacation, but it preserves
the rate of earnings per month.
which labor always considers vital.
The measure is a big feather in
the cap of labor as step toward
national reduction of working time.
1t is not a five-day week measure,
but it tends in that direction, which
is all to the good.

Coxey Urges Is Billion
Community Bonds for Relief

Washington.-In a hearing before
the house committee on banking and
currency, Jacob S. Coxey, mayor of
Massillon, Ohio, advocated the enact
ment of his bill to finance twenty
five billion dollar unemployment re-
lief plan.
The bill provides for non-interest
bearings 25-year bonds of all COM
munities, to be deposited with the
secretary of the treasury as security
for an equal amount of legal tender
treasury notes to be printed for and
issued by such communities.
Mr.. Coxey contended his plan would
furnish money to employ 100000
jobless on public improvements and
would give banks money to loan in
place of frozen assets.
