CHRISTMAS IN EVERY HOME

The Christmas in Every Home"
movement is functioning. The COM
mittee in charge is we'll organized
with experienced workers, the store
room is established with the old-time
storekeeper, Tom Nolloth, in charge.
All that is necessary now to make the
project go over big is for those able
to do SO to make liberal and generous
donations of cash.
But here there is little hitch. To
date the contributions are coming in
a little slow The need is much great
er this year because of increased un-
employment and because of the many
who have been out of employment so
long. Unless those who can afford
to do so come forth and give gener-
ously to this most worthy cause,
Christmas, this year, will mean not
only just another day to many of the
city's needy poor, but a gloomy,
dreary day as well. 1t will mean
heartaches in many Hamilton homes
on the glad day when all should be
joy.
1t is to be hoped that everyone
who is able to do so will again hear
the annual call Of the christmas in

and respond in measure according
to their means. Give, as we used to
say in wartime, give till it hurts a
little.

shorter hours policy for both gov
ernment employees and workers in
private industry.
By the "legimate" shorter workday
and work week, organized labor
means shorter hours shall be applied
without loss of pay or equivalent
privilege.
In his Boston speech, on October
81, Mr.. Roosevelt, in discussing his
various remedies for unemployment,
said:
I'm addition there has been long
overdue reduction of hours of work
and the number of working days per
week. The great justifcations of
modern industry are the cheapening
of production and the lessening of the
toll of man.
These fruits will be dead fruits
unless men earn enough so that they
can buy the things that are produced
and have the leisure for the cultiva-
tion of body, mind and spirit which
the great inventions are supposed to
make possible.
This means that government must
set an example in the case of its own
aEaplOyes. 1t means also that govern.
ence to induce industry to do like
wise"
Mr. Roosevelt also indorsed the
speedily application of the shorter
hours principle in a message to the
New York State Federation of La
Dor convention on August 25.
To compel the workers in either
government service or private indus
try to buy the shorter workday and
work week by reduced pay is neither
political nor industrial craftsmanship.
1t should have no standing in either
the policy of the government or in
private industry.

tally the same as set forth in this
report. We approvingly direct your
attention to page IL, report Of ex-
ecutive council, where under the cap

extreme seriousness of the existing
unemployment situation and it's rela-
tion to average labor hours is pre-
sented for your consideration.
For New Standard
owe warmly commend the follow.
ing declaration Of the executive
council as graphically summing VI
this situation:
The average work-week in all
industry in 1929 was about 49
hours. If the unemployed had
been put to work there would not
have been over 45 hours week
for each worker. Trade union
standards average 44.8 hours a
week at that time. Since 1929 de-
preston has forced still greater
use of labor saving devices. The
return of normal times could not
provide even "A hours work a
week for all now.
"'The fve-day, 40-hour week
and the six-hour day with &C.
hour week, represent standards
applicable to normal times at
present. But in the emergency of
this fall and winter, hours must
be reduced even below this stand
ard to provide work for the un-
employed and prevent starvation
"The time has arrived when th'
American Federation of Labor shoult
vigorously and definitely declare itsel,
in support of sharp reduction in tht

the time on this subject we therefor,
recommend that this convention here

We further recommend, and for tn
unanswerable reasons hereinbefor
stated, that such reduction in labo
hours should carry with it no reduc
tion in pay, but on the contrary wage
should be maintained and steadily in
creased in keeping with the expan
sion of production efficiency.

Now that is nice. 1t reminds lot
of people that once there was such
a thing as money.
And for great many that is about
as far as it goes. 1t is reminder
and not very happy one at that.
1t is so and so many days before
Christmas, and just seven more days
before this old year pops off to join
millions of other years that have
managed to come to their allotted
span, all leading up to this fading
and unhappy year, 1882.
Compared to 1923 this has been a
most unhappy year.
Compared to great many other
years it has been paradise of a
year.
Who would change 1882, for ex-
ample, for any year in the whole six
teenth century?
Who would change it for 1776, or
for that matter for 1918 or 1919?
Of course there isn't much conso-
alton in the idea that we might be
in worse year, but even if that is
the case, we are a foolish people if
we lose sight of the gains we have,
lust because we haven't gained
everything we sought.
The point to that is this: If we
have the capacity that free and
democratic people ought to have, we
stand in a better position today to
create in America paradise on earth
than any nation ever stood in through
all the years Of the human race.
It's only so and SO many days until
| Christmas, and there will be no cheer
at lot of boards, but the human race
has lived through years when there
was no cheer at ANY board. Bring
ing us to where we are, equipped with
all of the invented, discovered ano
developed wizardry out of which tt
spin more than fine silk and roya
purple. Out of this wizardry this
nation can spin for every working
man and woman and for every chile
riches beyond the possessions of any
king of the sixteenth century.
We, in this bleak and black yeal
of 1882, face future that has abou
only the limits set by our own in
capacity.
Let the newspapers print their lit
tie reminder that you ought to go ant
spend your money. Spend it, if yo,
have any.
Look forward to 1888. Look for
ward to a human race more enlight
ened, more capable of using its brains
and its collective wisdom.
Whoever said we had to see tn
dark side of the picture all the time
i A lot of men have come through
this depression unbeaten simply be
cause they would not be beaten. The!
would not admit that they could b
beaten. They knew they could com'
through. That doesn't mean that al
could have done it, but it does meal
that had the race applied wisdom t.
its problems, THE RACE could hav
seen to it that no depression eve
happened in 1929 and in 1880 and g
and '32.
We can, if we have the capacity
!. see that another never comes.
That would be a good New Year
resolution wouldn't it :?

all industrial corporations has revealed
something Of the practical value of the
earth to scores of thousands of families
whose livelihood in the past has come
from employment in mills and mines
and furnaces. That corporation, the
United States Steel Co., has reported the
cultivation of 1851 home and COM
munity gardens by those still regarded
as its employees, even though work may
be lacking for some of them.
AS this is written there is indisputable
evidence of business and industrial re-
vival throughout the country. But tho
complicated industrial structure of the
Nation cannot possibly be put into full
operation all at one time and immedi-
ately. And so. though new life Is cours-
ing into the veins Of industry at this
time, the problem of unemployment
cannot be wholly solved within the next
few months. But whether employed or
not, millions of men, women and chill
dren who live in industrial communities
will be adequately fed during the ensuing
months and until the factory whistles
are blowing regularly again. The food
that will sustain them will be the prod.
uct Of their own labor in home and COM.
munity gardens-not a charity donation.
It will represent living wrested from
the soil by hands far more accustomed
to levers and bars and electric switches
than to pillow handles. That food, safely
sustaining the lives Of vast number Of
women and children, will be the most
practical demonstration of the supreme
Importance of our soil resources
There are statistics galore about in
duStrial gardens. But think the actual
facts of how one family met the depres-
sion will best serve to illustrate the value
of the earth to the furloughed industrial
worker. have in mind a railroad brake
man who was furloughed more than q
year ago because of the decline in freight
traffic. He had never lived nor worked
on farm in his life, but he determined
that he would at least try to raise enough
food to keep his wife and children dur
ing the Summer months when he knew
there would be no possibility of being
restored to railroad service. He knew
that the small amount of savings that
he had would not last more than dix

says that the Lord helps those
who help themselves. In that
= adage thousands upon thou
sands of industrial workers this year
have sought-and found refuge.
They could not help themselves by
steady employment in mill and factory,
for employment was not to be had.
Their reserves, when existent at all,
could not last long. They did not want
charity, except as a last resort. Yet
they had to eat, and to maintain health.
In that moment they discovered the SOIL
In the very shadow of the tall stacks
of steel furnaces thousands Of men and
their wives and children discovered the
soil as something much more important
and vital and necessary than merely
earth to walk upon. They discovered for
themselves that human life is necessarily
dependent upon the fertility of the
earth, and that the one Indispensable re-
source of America is its soil.
They had no funds to buy farms. Few
had the background and training neceS-
sary to make a success of farming. They
had no desire to uproot themselves COM
pletely from an industrial community or
to detach themselves from industry as a
main source of income in normal times.
So they took to gardens community
gardens, neighborhood gardens, company
or industry gardens-wherein tenn
porarily to grow their own food, to keep
themselves occupied, to avoid charity
and to prove that the Lord helps those
who help themselves.
THE sweeping, feverish, back-to-the-
farm movement of earlier times is
not repeated here. This is back-to-
the garden movement whose object is
not the farm but simply to preserve life.
It is not complete answer to the I'M
employment problem, nor is it the men
ace to agriculture that an organized,
frenzied back-to-t he-farm movement
would be. It merits both sincere applause
and, looking to the future, word or
two of warning.

through all of this"
Mrs Lindbergh is expecting the
birth of another child in the latter
part of August or early September.
She has been under a doctors ad-

which ironically became the focal

ON VESSEL WHEN
BODY DISCOVERED

TRENTON, N. j., May 13. U.Pg-
Colonel Lindbergh was at sea when
the body of his son was found yes
terday, but he returned speedily TO
Hopewell, according to today's
state police bulletin.
1t said:
Colonel Lindbergh returned to
Hopewell, last last night. At the
time the body was discovered
Colonel Lindbergh was on a boat
off the Jersey shore at Cape May,
N. j., in preparation for another
attempt to accomplish the delivery
of the baby through a contact with
the kidnapers at sea-
Immediate steps were taken to
communicate with him and as
soon as he received the information
he started on the return trip 10
Hopewell.
while the kidnapping was COM
mitted in Hunterdon county, the
finding of the body of the mur-
dered baby occurred in Murcer
county. The attorney general
assisting in the prosecution of the
case in Hunterdon county, is CO.
operating directly with Prosecutor
Marshall of Mercer county, and
these authorities are working
jointly at this time.
There was a conference be-
tween police at this point and the
joint prosecuting authority at
Hopewell last night and there will
probably be further conferences as
developments progress.
Statements were taken from
Doctor Condor and John Hughes
Curtis during the night as well as
from a number of other people
purporting to have information. A
considerable amount of informa-
ton was obtained and is being fol-
lowed up at the present time.

announces the funeral arrange
ment, we will issue special bulle-
tin giving his announcement"
