and his victory in the second ballot
ing in April is regarded as certain.
Hitler, fascist, and Thaelman, COM
munist, both bitter foes of democ
racy and advocates of dictatorship,
failed in their effort to overthrow
Hindenburg, who stands for the
maintenance of the German repub-
lie and the rule of the people.
1t is important to remember that
the great German trade unions and
their political voice, the social
democratic party, supported Hinden-
burg and were instrumental in his
virtual victory. They enrolled in the
'iron front" of enemies of fascism
and communism, and succeeded in
holding Germany for democracy.
In Germany, as in the United
States and other democratic nations,
organized labor stands firmly
against dictatorship of any kind.

NORRIS PREDICTS
WILKERSON DEFEAT

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)--The
senate will reject the nomination OF
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson as
circuit court of appeals judge for the
Chicago district, Senator George w.
Norris, of Nebraska, chairman of the
senate Judiciary committee, predicted
on March 15.
Organized labor has strongly pro-
tested against Wilkerson's nomina-
ton, charging that he has shown ex-
treme bias against organized work
ers, in the drastic injunction issued
against the railroad shopmen in 1922
and in other labor injunction cases.
President Hoover is backing Wilker-
son, and recently praised his record
in connection with the sentencing to
Jail of "Al" Capone, notorious Chicago
racketeer and gang leader.

for the correlation of ahese func-
tions, as we make progress III the
arts of production, things accumulat-
ed in great quantities. This makes
distribution proportionately indispen-
sable Or stocks would pile up in a
way that forces factories ito Slow
Gown.
The only way to assure distribution
Is to put buying power into the hands
of those who work, the masses. Pro-
duction establishments must raise
wages and shorten hours in proper
tion to increased productivity if dis
tribution is to balance production. In
other words, instead of declaring ex-
ira dividends, stock dividends and in
creasing profits, more of the proceeds
from production must go to produc-
ing workmen. Only the application
of this principle of balancing accum-
ulation and distribution can save in
dustry from recurring breakdowns
which have been increasing in sever
ity and magnitude.

IN the days of dim antiquity all now
ers we're divided into two general
classes. The bell-shaped blossoms
were called lilies and all the others
were roses. This Ia said to account for
some flowers being called roses which
do not belong TO our present rose fam
lily. The rose of Jericho Is one Of these
1t Is not rose at all, but sort OF
vegetable. This plant Is sometimes
used as symbol of the resurrection
because 1t is usually found In shriv-
eled, dried-up condition, but It IL I'M
mediately revived or resurrected by
little moisture. However, the rose OF
Jericho Is more commonly called the
rose Of Mary because tradition says
that 1t grew to mark every resting
place Of the Holy Family during the
journey to Egypt.

shaped II was called a rose. This
flower blooms so early that 1t has be-
come the symbollcal flower Of the
month Of January:
Primroses. the spring may love them.
Summer knows but little OF them.
The briarrose, according to ancient
Christian tradition, grew from the
drops Of blood that fell to the earth
from the Savior's brow when 1t was
pierced by the crown Of thorns on the
cross. But there is another legend
which says that Christ's crown of
thorns was made of the white briar-
rose itself, and the red rose sprang
from these blood-stained roses:
Men pierced his brow with thorns, but
Angels stanched his blood with roses
To this day the faithful In some
parts Of Russia will never suffer a red
rose to lie on the ground. The red
rose IL usually considered an emblem
of the crucifixion, but the white rose
belongs to Mary. She dried her
mourning veil on rose bush and the
bush bore white roses ever after.

has since become the symbol Of silence
When the Greeks wished the conversa-
tions at their feast tables to be kept
secret a freshly-gathered rose was
hung from the ceiling just above the
head of the table. 1t was considered
dishonorable and even criminal to re-

the rose). But the mythical blue rose

attainable earthly ideals. The passion

resemblance of certain parts Of the

wallop at prohibition should serve to
stand as a record of considerable
magnitude and tremendous impor-
tance.
Of course congress can mar this
record somewhat by sales tax, but
even that cbnnot undo the things
that have been done. Just why the
congress should believe that the en-
tire cost of the depression must be
written into one years taxes is be-
yond understanding, but that seems
to be the idea and there is no well
organized force to combat the thing.
So we shall probably get soaked.
But in our soaked condition we shall
remember also these other things
that have been good and we shall
console ourselves. We shall be able
to rid ourselves of the sales tax, but
the benefits of the anti-injunction bill
will live when all sad memories have
passed.
This congress has made way for
liberty. Goodbye, Mr.. Snoop, and
likewise farewell, Mr.. Injunction

bership. Eyes are clearing. The ole
idealism is reasserting itself. Every.
where men are saying, the union
above everything else.
To be sure there are weak, pid-
ding traitors who hide behind anon
ymous letters, in an endeavor to de-
stroy, all in behalf of their own mar
row ambitions to seize power, or to
get more than their share of the
common income. These only
strengthen the hand of foes on the
outside, but they do not make head
way. There are too many members
who know the necessity and value OF
union organization. The traitors
only throw into greater relief the 10y
atty of the great majority.
A man is fool to do anything to
hurt his union at this trying time,
or any other time. The union is his
greatest friend and protector; it is
not only that, it is point around
which he can rally all his forces. No
matter what changes take place in
society in the next 20 years, it is
inconceivable that the union will be
unimportant. Capitalism needs the
union to check greed. Every other
form of society needs it as a start
ing point for all constructive meas
ures. Those who say destroy are
counselling madness. Change, yes.
But destruction is unthinkable.
We believe the membership will
grow in loyalty and courage. Cour-
age is needed-cool-eyed courage.
The old world is on the move. The
depression is both a fulfllment and
a promise-a harvest of mismanage-
ment, and a promise of better day.
But reform comes slowly, and only
through sacrifice, and waiting takes
courage, while suffering increases.
But courage must assert itself. When

DEEP PAY CUT
Forces WalkOut of Five
Thousand Ohio Miners

Nelsonville, o. (ILNS)-Forced to
act by a 25 per cent reduction in
wages, more than 5000 miners in the
Hooking Valley, Sunday Creek and
other coal fields in southern Ohio are
on strike and are making couragea-
Gus and determined fight. The atti-
tude of the coal operators, who hide
behind the time-worn argument Of
unfair competition from Kentucky
and West Virginia, has caused much
suffering throughout the district and
appeals have been made to Gov.
George White to intercede and COM
pei the operators to meet in confer
ence with the miners to discuss a de-
cent wage agreement.
The miners were almost a unit in
striking against the wage cut. The
men walked out when the operators
in the Hooking Valley field attempted
to put into effect uniform wage
scale of So day and 38 cents ton
for leaders. Gov. White, upon the re-
fusal of the coal operators to take
part in conference, sent representa-
tives into the coal fields to investi-
gate the situation and to report to
him, with view to mapping out a
program for relief for some of the
destitute families Of the miners.
Coal operators of the district have
adopted bull-headed attitude found
ed upon the tactics of non-union oper-
ators in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Officials of the Sunday Creek Coal
Company, the New York Coal Com
Company, after refusing to meet with
the miners, issued statement in
which they said:
I'VE will have no dealings with the
United Mine Workers of America and
we positively will not meet represen-
tatives Of this group. Continuation
of the strike will mean total abandon
ment of several properties in the dis
trict. We are making this statement
so our employees will understand that
our position is unchanged and that no

retirement insurance for railroad en-
ployes will be heard early in April

mittee on interstate commerce, SEN

ducer of the bill, announces.
The measure would create system

and disability benefits to approx
mately 1,750,000 railway workers out
of equal contributions of the carriers
and employees. No cost would de-
volve on the government.

GOODBYE, MR.. SNOOP,

A change in 81 votes in the house
would have meant wet majority in
place of dry majority on the day
of the big tests vote.
That brings the issue to a point
where we can see the day coming
when we can say goodbye to Mr..
Snoop.
1t is Mr.. Snoop who has opened
the way for the horde of gangsters,
bootleggers, bootlickers and pine
apple mobs, and when he turns tail
they will likewise get ready to run.
1t should be possible to go the rest
OF the way and change 81 votes be-
fore long. Some say it will be done
in the next congress. Surely it should
not be later than that.
The first step will be to legalize
wines and beers. That, it must be
evident, will be the first step, after
which there most surely will be other
steps toward liberty and decency.
Altogether, the present congress,
for all its record of trading and bull
lyraggin, seems destined to go into
the pages of history as congress
Of unusual achievement.

Illinois Coal Operators
Reject Unions Demands

Chicago (ILNS)--At a joint con-
ference of operators and coal miners
here, the operators refused the re-
newed demands of the Illinois Min
ers' Union for an increase in the basic
wage scale. A subcommittee Of mine
operators and nine union representa-
tives was delegated to negotiate a
contract to replace the present one,
expiring March 81.
At the first meeting of the sub
committee, it was agreed that William
B. Wilson, former secretary of labor
and joint arbitrator for Illinois miners
and operators, should sit in the con-
ference without vote.

The Cherry
" Where with sar
roo Little Hatchet
We tell the truth
about many things. Sometimes pre-
foundIy, sometimes lippantly,
sometimes seck!sssly.

1t seems they took Ivar Kreuger
for ride.
kreuger was more than Swedish
match king. He was an international
banker of consequence-he and his
Kreuger-Toll concern.
1t has been said since the suicide
that on the day of the deed American
bankers were in Paris ready to nego-
tiate with the big match and power
magnate for at least some of the
money he had to have.
But the inside story has it that
when Kreuger was in New York just
before returning to Paris and DEATH
the bankers of Wall street told Ivar
Kreuger, the powerful magnate, that
they couldn't loan him money.
Kreuger had to have $4,000, 900
and he didn't get it. He went to
Paris and shot himself.
1t seems the bankers took the
Swedish magnate for a ride and they
probably have made more money by
doing that than they would have
made by loaning him the money by
wanted.
It's strange story, this Ivar
Kreuger story. He was big man in
many enterprises. The corporate
entity of Kreuger-Toll was immense.
When Ivar Kreuger went into Wall
street to ask for money Kreuger
stock was selling at around $23.
The bankers told him to go peddle
his matches. No sooner had he turned
his back than the bankers began sell
| ing short in Kreuger stock.
By the time Ivar Kreuger decided
to use lead in place of gold the shorts
were able to cover at around $3.50
and in the couple of days following
the suicide they could cover, if they
waited that long, for about $3.50.
Admittedly no such profits as were
here possible could be made by loan
| ing money.
1t is the way of Wall street-so it
seems. They probably are saying that
it was all just "hard-headed busi-
ness"
And now to turn to something else
