Called For August 1O

general convention of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Beverage
Dispensers international Alliance
will convene in Boston, Mass, August

Flore, general president of the Alli-
ance.
"The depression in business and the
unemployment situation within our
ranks" Mr.. Flore said in explaining
the call for the convention, "are more
acute today than at any previous
time, and the need for added revenue
to successfully carry on our field
work and the application of social
legislation to care for our sick and
unemployed members are greater to-
day than at any time within the his
tory of our international union. We
must plan for the future if we are
to successfully carry on"

Trade Unionists Oppose
Employing State Hospital
Patients on Private Work

Little Rock, Ark.-The Little Rock
Central Trades and Labor Council
strongly opposed the policy of the
superintendent of the State Hospital
for Nervous Diseases of permitting
inmates of the hospital to work for
private profit in preference to free
labor. The action was caused by in
formation that patients of the hos
pital were working on the grounds of
the Little Rock Baseball Association.
The resolution adopted by the Coun-
Gil declared that 1--WE again go on
record as being unalterably opposed
to the use of inmates of state insti-
tutions in competition with free tax
paying citizens for private profit and
call upon the public that believes in a
square deal for its citizenship to as
sist in stopping this practice"

Labor will not soon forget the
senators who voted against federal
relief. Among those who helped to
defeat the Costigan-La Toilette
measure were some who have been
accounted friends of labor. They
must do some tall explaining to jus
tify their vote A close eye will be
kept upon them in the future, and
their legislative record must show a
big improvement before they can
again be considered right" with la
Dor.
In another column of this issue of
the Press will be found the names of
the senators voting for and against
the measure. 1t is pleasing to note
in the list that the name of the junior
senator from Ohio, Robert J. Bulkley,
stands out with those in the fright"
column, while that of Senator Fess is
found with those voting against.

Union Wages For Veterans
Hospital at American Lake

Tacoma, Wash.-Inspector Hines
in charge of the construction of the
Veterans Hospital at American
Lake, informed o. n Torgeson, bust
ness agent of Carpenters Union No
470, that wages on the job would be
the prevailing rate of $S for carpen-
ters and SIS for laborers, which is the
union scale. Inspector Hines, it was
stated, acted under immediate orders
from Brig. Gen. Frank d. Hines, adj
ministrator of veterans affairs in
Washington.
Mr.. Torgeson said the matter had
been hanging fire since last Novem-
ber, and expressed his qualification
over the settlement. At least so per
cent of local labor will be employed
on the job, with preference being
given to married men and veterans.

School Official Opposes
Cuts in Pay of Teachers

Harrisburg, Pa. QLNS)-Reduc-
ton Of school teachers salaries at
this time would be "unsound and un-
SAFE" DR.. James N. Rule, superin-
tendent of public instruction, told the
annual convention of the School Di-
rectors' Association here.
"To cut teachers salaries unless
and until every other measure of nec-
essary economy has been taken is un-
sound and unsafe" he said. "It will
further reduce their buying power,
Greatest of all, however, will be the
loss of confidence on the part of those
who direct the spiritual and educa-
tional development of our children. "
The answer for lower school costs,
DR.. Rule said, does not lie in "dis-
ruption of salary schedules and the
public school program"

MAKE A JOB. DRIVE is ON

MANI "A JOD ORANE 10 YIN
The Make Job" drive in Hamil-
ton was officially launched Tuesday
morning, and is now on in full swing.
The start was made with kickoff
breakfast at the Y. w. C. A, attend
ed by approximately $50 women. The
women are organized in three divi-
sions of six teams each, under the
leadership of Mrs. r. H. Burke as
colonel, and Mrs. Robert Sohngen and
Mrs. Gordon Blend as majors, each
team having captain.
The ladies were addressed by Col
onel Burke, Walter Rowe, chairman
of the American Legion committee
for increased employment; Don w.
Fitton, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, and Isabel Beardsley, of
the Bureau of Social Work. Mr..
Rowe, among other things, said:
Hamilton has chosen to promote
building. Building is basic industry
and 95 per cent of the building trade
has been affected by unemployment.
"a committee of So men in the
building trade are going out to in
spect homes and buildings to find out
what should be done by way of re-
pairs, and another committee is
soliciting labor in a house toulouse
canvass.
"The latter is your duty" concluded
Mr.. Rowe.
And with this kickoff the ladies
started out on the mission seeking
jobs for those unemployed. And the
Press predicts that if there are jobs
to be found the ladies of the MAKE
a Job" drive committee will find
them. Everyone in a position to do
so should assist the ladies in their
noble endeavor in every way possible.

WHY WORRY ABOUT THE
LITTLE PEOPLE

Speaking of the Jap Chinese fracas,
and making comparisons of interest
to our home folks, Arthur Brisbane,
well known editorial writer, says:
Japan plans to make of Manchu-
ria republic directed by Toxic" 1t
would have the old Chinese FIVE barred
flag, with Japanese flying sun spread
over it, and would be called "Ankua," I"
meaning land of peace"
Chinese say that would mean
Manchuria run in the interest of Jan
anese investments and industries,
with no special attention to the mil
lions of Chinese.
Some Americans might say what

for the benefit of it's investment, in
dustries, and high finance, but it gets
along pretty we'll, outside of depres-
sions.
"You hear about two billion dol

other corporations, about helping

Blacklegs and Scabs

Darwen, Eng.-In connection with
the controversy over wages and hours
between the Weavers, Winders and
Wrappers Association and the mill
owners, Mr.. Joseph X. Bailey, editor
of the official journal Of the associa-
tion, adds the following definitions
to the terminology of the labor move
ment:
"A .blackleg' is an individual who
undertakes employment at less than
trade union rates or under working
conditions not in accordance with
trade union agreements.
"A 'scab' is an individual who
takes the place of worker who is
on strike"

NOW is THE TIME

The beginning of progress for
workers is their trade union, says a
call for militant campaign of organ
zation issued by the joint conference
of the American Federation of Labor
executive council and representatives
Of national and international unions
held recently in Washington.
A truer word was never said. AS
the call points out, regardless of
other activities of labor, to press an
organizing campaign of unlimited
scope is the primary duty of the
hour. Only as the great mass Of the
workers put forward their claims
through effective organization, has
progress come.
'The hardships of the past three
winters are incontrovertible argu-
ments for extension of union member
ship and wider programs of action"
the conference declared, calling upon
every trade unionist in the land to
join in the campaign.
The value Of trade union organiza-
ton is exemplified right now in the
strike of the New York dressmakers.
Confronted with demand for wage

condition of liberty, or at any rate
of social liberty as contrasted with
liberty that is unsocial or anarchicai.
AT the root of the preference of
the preference of equality, there is
thus sound core of intuition. Lib
erty without equality is a name of
noble sound and squalid result"
With this fundamental conception
of the close relationship between
equality and liberty as Judge Car
dozo's guide, our citizens may be sure
that he will carry to the supreme
court the eminent traditions of Jus
tice Holmes.

THE FIGHT NOT ENDED

The Costigan-La Toilette bill for
federal relief for the unemployed has
been beaten in the senate, but nuless
there is quick change for the better
in the economic situation, the fight
for direct federal relief must go on.
Organized labor has pledged unquali-
fed support to direct federal relief
for communities which are unable to
take adequate care of their unemploy-
ed, and will not permit the defeat Of
the Costigan-La Toilette measure to
end the movement for federal unem-
ployment aid.

JUSTICE CARDOZO

President Hoover's nomination Of
Benjamin N. Cardozo, chief justice
of the New York state court of ap-
peals, to be an associate justice of
the supreme court of the United
States to fill the vacancy caused by
the retirement of Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, received universal ap-
proval.
Judge Cardozo is recognized as be-
ing the one man whose ability to per-
petuate the principles Of justice SO
long affirmed by Justice Holmes can
not be questioned.
The supreme court interprets the
laws enacted by congress. 1t also
interprets the constitution itself.
Whether the laws or the constitution
minister to the social welfare and
protect the rights of the people de-
pends very largely on whether the
members belong to the liberal or con-
servative school of thought.
In discussing liberty and equality
Judge Cardozo recently said:
"De Tocqueville was impressed with
the belief that the love of equality
is stronger in most minds than the
love of liberty. But the opposition is
unreal. Equally is the necessary

cuts and increase in hours, the dress
makers, 10000 strong, have struck
not only against the employers de-
mands but for better wages and work
ing conditions. Even in time of de-
preston they are fighting for higher
standards. They could not lift hand
in their own defense if unorganized.
Their militant stand is an inspiration
to every trade unionist to push organ
ization to the utmost.

Truths Pondered While

HllVllUl
Then gently scan
your brother man.
BY Mr.. MOdeStus

The lady was learning to drive an
automobile, on country road.
She was quite exasperated, when
she saw two linemen climbing tele-
graph poles just ahead of her.
That was not due to her egotism:
it was her ignorance.
A wealthy man drew his money out
of his bank deposit account.
He hired safety deposit box in
which to hide it.
The man was not trying to break
down our financial system. q
He was under the influence of .in-
dividual initiative"
There have been too many like him
recently.
Ignorance-again.
The government, at last, is trying
to explain by an object lesson.
In our way of doing things, real
money has two uses.
The largest use is, to furnish the
basis for credit.
Credit is thing difficult to be hid
den.
But if you hide money, you destroy
the life of credit.
And since 80 per cent of our bust
ness is done by credit instruments
II is just proof of complete ignor.
ance to hide the money.
The man who hid his money wa!
afraid-you say.
Yes-and when too many peop.'
get that way, it is called "panic.
The real error is back of that, some
where.
| 1t scenes to be dangerous to leav,
the control of credit subject to "indi
vidual initiative"
Credit is the life-blood of the bod,
of public business.
The control of it has been in tn
hands of few men.
And they were-acting from pri
vate motives.
Some people have been saying
"Get the government out of bust
ness"
That is a good way to confuse tn
mind: by saying only a part of wha
is meant.
Suppose the business is publ
What is the business" of gov
ernment?
Governments have grown, an
have persisted, because it became nee
essary to take some kinds of busines
out of private control
Not so long ago-any bank coul
issue it's own money.
Try it now-start bank and issu
your money.
You'll find there's a law.
The government has monopol
on the issue of money.
1t was dangerous-to let anybod
| issue his own money.
Dangerous-to every private PEI
son.
| And so the governments hav
''gone into business" Issuing money
More recently, governments hav
been trying to control credit.
The Federal Reserve Bank Syster
is one attempt in that direction.
But that system was left in tn
control of the bankers.
Private business interest con
trolled a public function.
And the public is learning wha
happens to money-and credit
The control of currency is like
valve in a pipe line.
And that control has been scat
tered private initiative" again.

GIVEN j. S. LOANS
Missouri Pacific Is Allowed
$500, ,000-Wabash Gets
$7,173,0O0 to Pay Debts.
Dy the Associated Press.

" the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
today approved loans by the Recon
struction Finance Corporation to the
Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Wab-
ash Railway.
The commission approved an immedi-
ate loan of 81 100000 to the Missouri
Pacific to take care Of loans which ma
ture6 January 81 and on which the
company had secured an extension un-
til February Is.
The Missouri-Pacific had applied for
authorization to borrow $23. ESQ 900
from the corporation, but the commits
sion held that it did not seem advisable
to approve more than was needed TO
nav Immediate and pressing items.
The Wabash was granted permission
to borrow $7,173,80O to pay equipment
oblixations and certain other pressing
items. The company had asked approval
Of . borrowing totaling $l8,50O, 900.
The commission, however, decllned 10
approve the entire amount at this time,
saying it would await the outcome OF
NEGOTIATIONS between receivers Tor the
Wabash and banks to which the money
Is owing.
The Missouri Pacific application said
It believed it could obtain money from
the Railroad Credit Corporation to re-
pay the Reconstruction Corporation as
soon as funds are available in the treas
ury Of the railroad organization.
The Wabash, however, is ineligible Tor
loans from the Railroad Corporation.
It was In receivership when the Inter-
state Commerce Commission approved
an increase in freight rates to care for
needy railroads. thus becoming In
eligible to participate In loans from
funds derived from the increases.

IN DEATH PROBE
Fiance of Elizabeth Cook, 20,
Will Interview Captain .
About Fake Message.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associate Press.
BOSTON, February 15.-Further ex-
PLANTATION of the death of Elizabeth
Barrett Cook, 20, today awaited the
outcome of coroner's investigation In
far-away Gibraltar and the arrival In
Boston of the steamship Chinese
Prince, aboard which she died.
Miss Cook was found dead in her
cabin on the Chinese Prince Monday
as the ship neared Gibraltar. She had
received a faxed cablegram reporting
the death of her fiance, st. George
Tucker Arnold, a Boston engineer, not
long before. The cablegram advised
her that she must "on no account re-
turn" and the message was signed
Helen James"
The cablegram was revealed as
hoax when the girls mother received
message of coincidence from Arnold.
Arnold said last night that he would
meet the Chinese Prince when she
docked in Boston Wednesday and in
terview the captain of the vessel.
Fearing the hoax message might be
destroyed Arnold asked the State De-
partment in Washington to aid him IN
getting a verbatim copy OF the mes
sage before the ship reaches port.
Private investigators also awaited the
arrival Of the steamship Conte Bla-
camano, which sailed from Naples Sat-
urday with Mrs. Mabel E. Cook, mother
of the dead girl, and Louise, her sister,
aboard.
Miss Cooks death was described by
steamship line officials as due to
