CHILE TO CLAMP BAN
ON STRIKE OUTBREAKS
$4,000 Cara bineers Ordered on
Duty Monday to Cope With
Possible Red Demonstrations.

POSSIBLE hSQ OenOuSLI dLlOnss
BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, January 9.-The
Chilean government completed plans
today to prevent disturbances Of any
sort in connection with the general
strike called for next Monday by GER
tain Left Wing groups.
The government has prohibited the
strike, and Chile's $4,000 carabineers
we're ordered out for duty that day.
Army regiments and reservists also
stood ready to aid the police, if needed
The government said it regarded the
strike as purely political, having moth
ing to do with labor disputes. 1t ruled
therefore, that any employer might re-
place strikers without the usual indem-
mites or notice required under the la
Dor laws
Some labor unions have refused to
participate in the strike, including
some of the street car and motor bus
operators. Eight demands have been
made.

Cause of Montgomery
Action.
BY HOWARD NJ. BAGGETT.
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

SILVER SPRING, Md, January g.
Montgomery County's $1,000,000 road
and school bond issue, which the board
of county commissioners took steps to
authorize at the meeting in Rockville
Tuesday, will not be offered for sale
until market conditions improve, Lacy
Shaw, president of the board, stated
today.
The commissioners had decided to
offer the bonds for sale at this time
and had instructed Berry E. Clark,
clerk to the commissioners, to prepare
a schedule under which the issue would
be repaid and the necessary advertising
when it was decided to postpone TIE
matter for time.
Follow Prince Georges.
This action follows the announce
ment Thursday by the board Of county
commissioners Of Prince Georges
County postponing Indefinitely the
sale Of $275 900 in school bonds which
they we're preparing to place on the
market. Financial conditions through
out the country were given as the
cause for the withdrawal of the issue,
also tr.e fact that Baltimore City had
Sl0O for $4,000 in per cent bonds
which they offered recently, which bid
they rejected.
An inquiry concerning the amount
that might be expected from the
81 10000 issue Is understood to have
been made by the Montgomery com
missioners and price Of $85 on the
500 Is understood to have been men
toned, which would mean loss TO
the county Of $150,000 and prompted
tie decision to postpone the sale.
The bonds are the last Of the issues
authorized by the 1881 session OF the
State Legislature and are to provide
funds for the completion OF the pres
ent road and school building program
of the county.
Road Projects Affected.
Among the road projects which are
to be built from money from this bond
issue and which may be delayed by
the holding up of TIE bond sale are:

Takoma Park, improvement OF Con-
necticut avenue to Chevy Chase Lake,
Improvement of Wisconsin avenue from
the District of Columbia line to the

KEEP THE REDS OUT!

In Illinois the United Mine Work
ers' Union has had it's battle with
communism. Union workers have
paid heavily for the Moscow adven-
turers.
In New Jersey, where union labor
is fighting the sweatshop evil, reds
have joined with employers of sweat
ed labor to fight real unions. Here
also the reds have cost heavily, but
have been reduced to impotence. Only
the wreckage remains to be cleaned
up
There is in the whole United States
not a single labor controversy in
which communism is not seeking de-
struction of trade unionism, and there
never has been a case of communist
interference that has not cost the
workers heavily.
Communism uses strikes to carry
on propaganda for communism. Ano
for no other purpose. Communism is
not concerned with the welfare o1
American workers. 1t is concerned
solely with promoting revolution fol
communism, in accord with orders is

Shoe Output Rises

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Pro-
duction of shoes by all factories in the
United States jumped to 33,6S8,00O
pairs in September, according to an
announcement just made by the q. 5.
Census Bureau.
To find month with larger out
put, it is necessary to go back to
October, 1929, when production was
reported as 37,191, 900 pairs. Maxi
mum output in 1881 occurred in Au-
gust when 33,474,00O pairs of shoes
were turned out.

ness!
Machinery isn't all that's obsolete
Thousands of pairs of shoes are obso-
lete. Thousands of pairs of pants
are obsolete. Thousands of homes are
obsolete. These things need replace
ment. In thousands of families the
food supplies need replacement.
Those who need shoes and clothes
and food are not refusing to buy be-
cause they lack confidence" They
are refusing to replace equipment
because they haven't the money. Mil
lions haven't even thin dime.
Industry, needing machinery, hav.
ing the money, refuses to buy because
it fears to spend the money!
This is the kind of thing that
makes a hungry man mad enough tc
fight
Business needs to wake up, to get
some conscience, to get some cour.
age, to get some insight into the
needs of people and the temper Of
people, and understand its proper
place in the scheme of things.
If industry, business and banks die
what those branches of our socia
order COULD DO, this depression
would be gone quicker than scat!
Has industry no brains? Has bus
mess no brains Whence came this
money that they refuse to spend while

And that, ladies and gentlemen,
seems to have in it lot of truth and
wisdom How shall we, then, go for
ward?
Well, simply because nothing is yet
perfect, but all human institutions
grow by experience. We live and learn
and so we make progress, slowly, but
somewhat surely. Leaders, it seems
we must have, but there is every rea-
son for us more and more to give
orders.

TAKEdends Might
Be a Better Name

Here is what the American Feder-
alton of Labor says about dividends:
In the years from 1922 to 1929,
dividend payments by all corporations
increased 1881 per cent, while wages
and salary payments increased only
45.5 per cent. In 1922, $3,437 100000
were paid out in dividends; by 1929
this figure has grown to $S,356,000,-
000 These dividend payments swell
ed the surplus income of the very
rich-in 1929, 86.5 per cent went to
persons with an investment of $780,
900 or over.
Because these wealthy persons
could not spend their entire income
for the products and services of in
dustry, much was reinvested and
went to increase industrial capitali-
zation and production capacity.

enough to earn dividends on THEN

THE CHILD AROUND THE
CORNER

If, right around the corner from
you, there lived a family in which
there was child i'll with tuberculo-
sis and needing a little financial as
sistance in order to purchase medi-
cine or secure required attention, how
ready you would be to join with 9TH
ers in the neighborhood to give some
money or do whatever might be need
ed in an effort to restore the child to
health.
But if the child lives around the
second corner it is just a little more
difficult to arouse the same degree
of sympathetic interest, while SIM
liar case existing in an entirely differ
ent part of town may altogether es-
cape our notice.
1t is very human trait for a per-
son to willingly discommode himself
to relieve any specific case of distress
or suffering that comes to his atten-
ton. In many instances a person has
risked his own life to save the life of
another ;. possibly that of stran-
ger.
Why then is it so difficult for us
to vision exactly the same need when
it is distributed over a considerable
area and applies to large number
of people?
Why is there hesitancy in buy
ing quarters worth or a dollars
worth of Christmas seals when the
money thus secured is used in carry
ing on tuberculosis prevention work
in this community and in other COM
munities all over the country?
Are we less concerned about saw
ing the lives of persons living a hun
dred or a thousand miles away, or
is it merely that we do not under
stand that their suffering can be as
acute or their needs as great?
This is the 25th year of Christmas
seal sales. In that period the death
rate from tuberculosis has been cut
in half, which is an Indication of what
can be done by continued determined
effort.
But the fight is not yet won. Tuber.
culosis is still one of the most wide.
spread and devastating of diseases
Slowing down of effort will mean
loss of ground in the fight agains,
this grim enemy.
Through this holiday season make
use of Christmas seals. Buy them
with the thought that each of them
does its share in carrying on great
work
And instead of thinking of this
work being done in some distant city
or state, let the idea come into your
mind that the money which you in.

We call this democracy. We call

Do we kid ourselves, or are we

The greatest clamor of the last two
years has been for a leader.
For the nation, for the states, the
cities, for organizations, there has
been the clamor for leaders.
Democracy supposes participation

The citizenship is supposed to chart

1t usually works out this way: Two

ideas and taking into account their

thirst for lucre, the citizenship
marches to the polls and says thumbs

all the rest.
