Teagle Explains Share the-Work
Plan to Restore Prosperity
Three Objectives Summarized


"The share work movement"
Mr.. Teagle concluded, "aims at just
three detectives: (1) To check the up
ward trend of unemployment, when
work is reduced for seasonal or other
reasons, by employing the greatest
possible number of workers, thus
avoiding adding to unemployment.
"(2) To decrease unemployment by
wider spreading of work now avail
able among larger group of en-
ployes working shorter periods, rath-
er than by employing a smaller group
working longer periods.
"(3) Whenever an increasing vol
ume of business permits employing
additional personnel, to do so by dis
tributing the increased work to the
greatest possible number, rather than
by working longer schedules.
"It means breaking with tradition.

unemployment l am for, and most
heartily so.
"Let us get these 1O,O00,0 900 or H.
100000 men and women back on pay
rolls. Let us shorten the work-week
and spread employment. Let us all
join hands and speed economic re-
covery.'
Referring to the drive of the Amer
lean Legion, American Federation of
Labor and Association of National
Advertisers last spring to find en-
ployment for 100000 persons and
it's success on July l, Mr.. Cowdin
warned that "this, however, did not
stem the unemployment tide" He
continued:
AT the end of this phase of the
drive there were more people out of
jobs than when the drive began. To-
day there are close to 100000 peo-
pie who are idle who must be re-
turned to work To reduce this num-
ber not by 100000, nor by 2,000,-
900, but by several million is the
task which the American Legion and
the other organizations have been
striving for.

MELLON FIRM
In Million Dollar Trade
With Reds

New York City ILNS). = First
crude oil, beginning payments on a
million dollars worth of products
bought from the aluminium Co. of
Canada, Ltd, has been unloaded in
Canada from soviet Russia, putting
Andrew w. Mellon and the bolsheviks
into a business partnership. The
Aluminium Co. of Canada, Ltd, is
Mellon controlled.
The deal has aroused tremendous
interest. Mellon has been regarded as
a staunch opponent of dealings with
Russia under the reds. Unless the
deal just made his big company will
furnish aluminium wire.
Plan Big Barter Program
That the Mellon firm should trade
wire for oil is regarded as surprising
because of Melons interest in Gulf
Oil The bolshevik oil will be refined
in Canada by he LaSalle Oil Co. 1t
probably will not enter the United
States market, but it is pointed out
that the Canadian market cannot be
switched around without reflecting
upon oil marketing in the U. S.
The reds have been working on vast
plans for bartering Russian products
for equipment made in the United
States and the American Manufac-
turers' Export Association has been
formulating plans for taking bolshevik
products, which would be warehoused,
the warehouse receipts serving as
bankable paper. The proposal is

Standard Oil Head Says Employers Should Re-
duce Hours and Earnings Of Workers With
Jobs to Provide Work For Idle-- Breakdown
Of Private and Public Charity and Strain On
Taxation Makes Plan Imperative Will Cost
Employers Very Little.

Boston-Turning at least large
percentage of the millions of jobless
into wage receivers by a wide distri-
button of available work is the sur
est step toward the restoration of
normal economic conditions, accord
ing to Walter c. Teagle, president
of the Standard Oil Co., of New Jer-
sey, chairman of the Share the Work
Movement of the Federal Reserve
Banking and Industrial Committees
set up by President Hoover's recent
conference to mobilize business men
and bankers to restore business pros
perity.
"We face the winter with at least
100000 men and women out of
work." Mr.. Teagle told the Fourth
Annual Conference on Retail Distri-
button here. Charity funds, both pri-
vate and public, are increasingly diff
ficult to raise. The tax power of
States and communities to raise funds
for public improvements to make
work for their unemployed is rapidly
approaching an embarrassing point"
Opposed to Charity
81 am sure we are all agreed" he
continued, "that neither charity nor
the dole-for that is what much of
the made work virtually amounts
to--is any permanent or satisfactory
solution of the unemployment prob
lem, from the standpoint either of
the community or the individual.
"We must get the men and women
of America back into regular jobs of
nature to fit their training and
temperaments, because there they
work most effectively and because
only such an adjustment holds prom
ise Of stability.
All Parties Benefited
"To be sound, movement must
benefit all PARTIES involved. The
share -the-work movement meets this
requirement. 1t is to the advantage
of the worker because he enjoys
greater job security by job sharing,
it is to the advantage of the employ
er because work-spreading will make
for quicker business recovery thru
widespread spending, and it is to the
advantage of the community and the
country at large because it will re-
| lieve the drain on community funds
and tend to reduce the excessive
taxes which have been piling up on
u.s."
Increased Spending Power
National spending power Mr.
Teagle told the conference, "can be
restored quickly only by the two
factors in the situation--the employ
ers who, today, have work to be done.
and the men and women who are
working for them.
Divide Available Work
THE employers can do their part
by working out ways and means OF
spreading available work over larg-
er number of workers, through some
plan of staggering, or dividing, OF
rotating, the work; some plan which
| fits the peculiarities of their type
Of enterprise.

United States be taken in barter, but
the Mellon oil deal throws any such
promise under a cloud.

Consolidation of railroads at

opinion that legislation specifically

can be had, and the unions will op-
pose all consultations until Congress
has had an opportunity to provide
such legislation"

Workers Contribution
Hours and Earnings Cut

To illustrate his claim that the en-
ployed workers would have drastic
cuts in earnings imposed upon them
while the employers would contribute
nothing but microscopic increase
in overhead, Mr.. Teagle set up an
employer with four employees paid
$125 per month each. He said the en-
ployes could live on 500 per month.
The remaining $25 they either de-
posted in banks or spent in ways not
stimulating to business.
Under his plan, he explained, the
employer would not molest the hour
ly rates of pay, but would reduce the
monthly earnings of each of the four
employees $25 by reducing the number
of hours worked 20 per cent, so that
the monthly earnings of each would
be $l0O instead of $125. This reduc-
ton in earnings he went on, would
give the employer $100 with which he
could employ one more person. BY
this process each of the five en-
ployes would have 500 per month,
all of which they would be compelled
to spend for their living, whereas,
with four employees paid $125 a
month at least 500 would be banked
or in other ways keps out of business
channels.

The magazine, in it's striking edi-

FORCED into service against their will and
against their religious convictions, a group
OF Christian captives of the Turks back around
1900 became the nucleus Of force which be-
came the terror as well as the safeguard Of
many Sultans for hundreds Of years, until their
determination in the early years Of the nine
teenth century
The prisoners forced in 1890 by the Sultan
Orkhan to espouse the faith of Mahomet, were
formed into the first standing army Of Turkey
and given the name of Janizaries. Within 80
or 40 years their numbers had increased until
there were more than 10000 in the ranks.
At first they were recruited from the ranks
of prisoners, but as the fame of their fearless
fighting grew the sons of Turkish mobiles pos
sessed of adventurous spirits enlisted, and the
were selected as the personal bodyguards of the
Sultans.
So powerful did their position become they
soon welded a great deal of control over the
administration of the country and gradually
intrigue and plotting grew up until no Sultan,
vizier or other high authority felt secure. As
sassinations furthering the schemes of the lead
ers of the Janizaries became frequent. Cond-
guarded by them nor dared to have them
around.
1t fell to the lot of Mahmud II more than a
hundred years ago to rid the country of the
Janizaries. He formed new army and in a
hard fought battle conquered them, executing

Now that the great wall has been revealed
by aerial photography, there is real surprise
that so big monument was never mentioned
in early historic writings about Peru The
Spanish conquerors, who were so curious about
all the wonders of the Incan empire in Peru
wall At least they never wrote of it.
The Spaniards exclaimed over the long
smooth highways built by the Incas for their
armies to march over. They marveled to see
Incan temples built of stone and shining in
gold and jeweled ornaments They took the
keenest interest in the intricate Communist
system of the Incan government And chron-
iclers who accompanied Pizarro busily wrote
down impressions about these things

Incas in the sixteenth century? That might
account for silence of history on the subject
number Of archeologsts have been asked
their opinions on the great wall by the Amer

agreement on one point. That is that the
builders of the Great Wall of Peru were the
Chimu Indians. They were living in the region

America!S Kangaroo"

THE nearest thing native to North AmeTic&
] to a kangaroo is the so-called jumping
mouse. This small forest and field rodent with
a head and body length of not more than 3
inches can leap as much as Is feet in a single
bound. Its hind legs, suggestive of the kan
garoo are much longer than the forelegs and
are used in the huge leaps the kangaroo e.
fects on a larger scale.
The jumping mouse is a night-roaming an
imal seldom making an appearance in the
daytime. 1t feeds almost exclusively on grain
and seeds. 1t is sought after by most Of the
smaller predaceous animals.
