THE MECHANICAL
"TATTLE TALE"

A new recording device about tt
be placed on the market by a Cleve
land manufacturing concern shoult
bring JOY to the heart of any "opeI
shop" speed-up boss.
The device is an automatic tat
tie tale" 1t can be installed on al
most any type of machinery-smal
or large-and makes an electrica
record of practically everything the
machine operator does or fails to do
When the worker shuts down his
machine a red light flashes the news
to the foreman's office. Then the de-
vice marks up idle time" until the
machine is re-started.
If the worker pulls wrong lever,
or makes any other "false motion
it is instantly, and permanently, re-
corded on a tape which the boss can
inspect at any time.
The device also makes chart of
the amount and speed of production
of each machine on which it is in
stalled.
Production is said to have been in
creased as much as 83 per cent in
one factory where the "tattle tale"
has been given tryout.-Labor.

STOP CRIME BY PREVENTION

Police Commissioner Edward P
Mulroony, of New York, knows lot
about crime. He seems to know q
good deal about how it might be pre-.
vented.
Commissioner Mulrooney recently
made some statements in "Recrea-
ation," organ of the National Recre-
alton Association, worthy of reading.
The commissioner, who views long
lines of young men from 18 to 25
years of age in the lineup each day,
declared that if cities were to spend
on parks and Fairgrounds the money
now spent on maintaining criminals
an infinitely larger number would be
kept cut Of the ranks of crime.
Commissioner Mulrooney wants
''the team spirit" to replace the "gang
spirit" and he knows that teams"
must have wholesome places to gather
in and wholesome things to do.
Commissioner Mulrooney's idea,
traced to brass tacks, goes right to
the economic heart of things. Just
as parks and Fairgrounds stop crime,
so do decent wages and chance to
live in decen surroundings stop crime.
Every depression, including this
one, brings its new crop Of stick-up
men and porch climbers-its crop Of
hungry men, desperate for food, and
it's crop Of those whose backbones
crack under new strains.
Commissioner Mulrooney has a lot
in common with the trade union point
of view, though he may not know it.

FORD STRIPPED
Of His Halo BY Machinist
Leader; Calls Him
AutOcrat

|
The "we-don't-need-a-u union because
-got-agoodboss" school of thought
received severe blow this week when
Henry Ford-selfstyled model em-
| ployer-arbitrarily slashed wages in
his factories down to 81 day below
the rate which prevailed 18 years ago
when his plants were turning out
"flivvers" equipped with gas head
| lights, non-demountable rims, and
| "self-starting" tenders.
Averaging 33 per cent throughout
all the Ford Motor Company plants,
the cut is one of the most drastic
made by any employer since the de-
! preston set in.
According to reports from Detroit,
Ford employees who have been getting
Sc day are cut to 81. Skilled me-
chanics have been slashed to what
was formerly the rate for unskilled
labor.
The cuts are said to be even more
vi ious than they appear on paper.
Employees in the higher-pay brackets
men with years and years of service
are being laid off and then rehired
at the lowest rate set for beginners.
The Ford Company, of course, is
"open shop" Henry Ford has bitterly
fought every attempt to unionize his
factories, declaring that labor organi-
cations were "tyrannical' and inter-
fered with the workers freedom"
and that he treated his employees so
fairly tl'at they needed no trade
unions to protect them.
Organized labor officials brand Ford
as an "arch hypocrite." They point
out that he has secured millions of
dollars worth of free advertising" by
giving newspaper men interviews pro-
Tossing his belief in high wages.
"The Ford wage cut should dispel
great many of the myths which
have been built up around him." said
Vice President Harry Carr, of the
| international Association of Machin-
lists.
In spite of reams of inspired prop
aganda to the contrary, Mr.. Ford has
not come within miles of establish
ing an industrial Utopia in his fac
tories. His employees are up against
the same tough opposition that con-
fronts workers in ali open shop
plants-as individuals they are abso-
lutely helpless on matters concerning
wages and working conditions.
''The size of the Ford wage cut and
the manner in which it was instituted
should convince anyone that bona fide
labor organization is the workers
only salvation. No one is going to
look after their interests except real
union controlled by themselves.
Ford employees, like other open
shop workers, have absolutely moth
ing to say about what wages they
will receive or what their working
conditions shall be. They have to
take what is offered or get out."-

Italian Government Aids
International 4O-HOur Week

Rome, Italy. = The international
movement for the 40-hour week re-
ceived an impetus in Italy by the
action Of the ministry of corporations
in asking all considerations of en-
ployers and workers to make a study
of the practical effects of a reduc-
ton of the hours of work in various
industries, and at the same time to
show what adaptations would be nec-
essary to insure the complete eff
cheney of the new system.
The ministry of corporations will
use the data in report to the next
session of the international Labor
Conference at Geneva, Switzerland,
which is making an inquiry into the
possibility of a compulsory reduction
of the hours of work to 40 in the
week by international agreements.

And You'll Jump Out of Bed
in the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the
world looks punk, don't swallow lot
of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative
candy or chewing gum and expect
them to make you suddenly sweet
and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can't do it. They only
move the bowels and a mere move
ment doesn't get at the cause. The
reason for your down-and-out feeling
is your liver. 1t should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels

" tell the truth
ahsat many things. senetinse pre-
fsundly. sometimes 1ippantly,
ssnetines recklsssly.

And it came to pass that there was
sweet falling out> among the red
birds in Moscow.
There is no "sweet reasonableness"
about it when those bozos start bick-
ering in the family.
Zanovieff, Kameneff and "a lesser
iuminaries are out on their ear. Sta
lin does the old Roman emporer stunt
of turning thumbs down on these
gents, and all at once Trotsky has
lot of company in exile.
1t must be remembered that in
Moscow when you're out it isn't just
game. You can't stick around and
play another inning. You are OUT!
These ousted gentlemen are accus-
ed of having plotted to restore capt.
talism, which is funny. Zinovieff has
ordered more international intrigue
than any man alive. He has been the
high boss of revolutionists all over
the world. They probably thought
these ousted gents did-that Stain
was getting too much power and they
wanted bigger cut. Stain beat them
to the punch.
There will be those who will say
this may mean the approaching down.
fall of communism in Russia. Maybe
so. But whoever thinks he can depend
on that is foolish. Depend on down.
fall when it comes, not before.
At the same time it turns out that
Moscow addressed certain orders to
the reds in the United States. They
look relatively harmless-almost re-
formist. And so good people say, why
these folks are not so bad. Why
worry? But there were OTHER
orders not SO pale.
There were some fighting orders
issued and the results of those orders
can be seen in the riots that have been
taking place, in the strike in Warren,
Ohio, in the mass demonstrations in
Chicago, in the plans for the new
"bonus" march on December 5 and
in a score of events. q
Some say, too, that it's foolish to
keep harping on communism.
Tories probably said the same thing
to American colonists along about
ITS and '76. But when there is a
menace in the nations midst it is nec-
essary to keep at that menace until
it is rooted out.
The communist orders are to form
skeleton units everywhere, around
which larger groups may quickly
form, to quicken the pace in all DEM
onstrations, to keep demonstrations
going SO as to create the habit OF
demonstrating, and in general to do
what can best be described as "rais-
ing HE'LL" as they have been doing in
southern Illinois.
Mark this down: There would have
been no mine march if there had been
no communists. The United Mine
Workers are paying the price of gen.
eral Indifference toward communism.
So are the Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers, battling the reds in Ohio.
There's a ruckus in the old home
town of Moscow, and it looks like
bad trouble in the family. But that
doesn't mean the rest of the world
can go and sleep on its oars. There
are parlous times and the reds find
parlous times their best times.
When Russian goes democratic will
be time enough to celebrate.

SWEATSHOP
Wage For Price Slash Shops
Condemned

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-A rat
ting good and spicy hot expose and
condemnation of sweatshop methods
comes through two trade magazines,
one of them speaking to trade in
which low-wage conditions have been
by no means absent. The two trade
journals are the Sample Case and
Tobacco, and the case is summed up
in Tobacco, which, however, faithfully
avoids any mention of trade union
ism as corrective.
Tobacco says, in an editorial:
do you believe girl operatives, in
a factory making 89-cent dresses, can
live on two dollars and fifty cents a
week? That is what they are doing.
"Do you believe that any such in
dustry, operated on a price basis,
turning out bargain" goods, can be
anything but racket deliberate
effort to demoralize all honest busi-
ness?
Right now from buying groups,
and syndicates, letters are going
BROADCAST to manufacturers, in all
lines, asking for merchandise at a
fraction of legitimate prices, and
usually contain the statement, These
goods are wanted for fall promotion
which, in plain language, means bar
gain sales.
"Can any retail establishment, fea-
turing such merchandise, contribute
anything to price stability and public
confidence
"In every shoddy factory and every
bargain store this sign should be dis
played You bought bargain-Good
bye.'
"As consumers, we want all we can
get for our money-it is human
nature to gamble. 1t is good, sound
common sense to realize you can't beat
the other fellow this own game.
"Up and down the breadth Of
this country, raketeers are seek
ing shutdown factories. They go
into a town, find such factory
they go to the Chamber of
Commerce and paint picture OF
how they are going to open up
the factory, give employment to
local labor, etc.
"They go to the banks and bring
pressure to negotiate loans, using the
influence of public spirited citizens. If
successful, the promoters open the
factory with ten dollars of borrowed
money to every dollar of their own
says the Sample Case.
''They run line of credit, pay
starvation wages, flood the mar
ket with trash, clean up and
close up.
"These racketeers and many mis-
guided established manufacturers are
throwing onto the market an ava
lanche of illegitimate, nameless mer-
chandise-the kind of stuff our peo-
pie are wearing, eating, using and
buying, out of inadequate wages.
"This isn't new condition-it has
always existed as the underworld of
business.
"We have in our commercial rela-
tions exactly the same abandonment
Of sound principles, ethical practices
and the evasion of individual respon-
sibility, which is so prevalent in our
political and social life"

Representative John E. Rankin of Mis-
siSSippi, Representative Wright Patman
of Texas and Joseph E. Burnett, spoke
for the service mems division Of the
Democratic National Committee, which
promises to take a very active part in
the coming campaign. They presented
their bonus plea from three angles.
Representative Connery stressed that 1t
is the only way to bring the service man
into the Democratic party by taking a
stand on the most vital issue before the
country.
A member of the Resolutions Com
mittee asked Representative Connery If
his proposal was ito buy the soldier
vote" and he replied, mo more than
you are trying to buy the votes of the
farmers, or the votes of the wet crowd
or of industrial interests" He declared
that this is bread-and-butter plank. T"
A member said he would be willing to
pay those who really need Ii and Con-
merry replied, Then pay 80 per cent of
them and let the other 20 per cent
wait"
Representative Patman said he had
debated the question of paying the SOL
diers' bonus all over the country and
found a very strong sentiment for the
cash payment.
A public works program and Federal
aid to States when local relief funds
are exhausted were the main features
of the unemployment relief plank.
Other planks call for downward re-
vision Of tariff rates on recommenda-
tions of a fact-finding commission,
strict Federal economy al balanced
Federal budget, stricter regulation of
banks with more safeguards for deposi-
tors and peaceful negotiation Of inter-
national disputes.

ROOSEVELT GETS
FEW OHIO VOTES
Test Ballots Indicate Small
Percentage of Delegates
Favor New Yorker.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Ill, June 29.-With her
'"favorite son" candidate, Gov. George
White, locking on. Ohio's delegation to
the Democratic National Convention
indicated in test votes yesterday that
only small fraction of the delegation
will swing to Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
Velt if given the opportunity.
On two ballots testing Roosevelt S
strength, the Ohio delegation cast 48 u
votes against the New York Governor
The delegates supporting Roosevelt
were former State Chairman w. w. Dur
bin Of Kenton, who has urged Gov
White to withdraw from the race; Rob-
ert S. Marx of Cincinnati, personal
friend of the New York executive, and
DR.. Hartman of Gallon. Durbin has
only one-half vote. The tests came
on the question of seating the Roose-
welt Minnesota delegation and on elec-
ton of a permanent chairman.
Gov. White, who has arrived to aid
his managers in rounding up votes for
himself or other Ohioans, attended yes
terday's convention session and occu-
pied seat on the platform as an honor
for his services as a former national
committeeman.
Gov. Ritchie of Maryland came over
to Gov. White and after shaking hand:
with him wished him success. but
what about yourself?" Gov. White ask
ed. 'Oh, don't need any good wishes,
Ritchie replied, jokingly.
To forestall any promiscuous parad'
ing of the Ohio standard by any one
unauthorized to carry 1t, Chairman
Drummer today placed Joe Wachsmuth
of Sidney. on guard over 1t with in
structions to let no one have 1t unless
directed to do so by the chairman.

'K|NGF|SH' REACHES
STRIDE AT CHICAGO.
Long Invades Platform Meet
ing and Offers Drafters
Two Planks.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 2s.-Huey Long has
hit his Louisiana "Klngfsh" stride In
Chicago.
Until last night Huey had been un-
usually quiet. purposely so until he had
seated his delegates over the protests OF
a delegation Of his mortal political
enemies.
But after he had won the contest by
the slim margin Of SO votes, he cut loose
and ''Kingfished" for the multitude.
He went on visiting rampage and
called on any and all delegates 10 tell
them how to cure the ills of democracy.
He broke the boredom Of newspaper
lutions Committee by appearing sud-
denly from around corner and de-
manding:
Where is this here rose room?"
He banged twice on the door and
shouted:
This is Senator Long"
Asks and Gets 10 Minutes.
As the door cracked, he yelled, "I
want 10 minutes and went in. Some
of the platform builders objected and
others tried to compromise on five min
utes, but Huey shouted for 10 minutea
and got 1t. He had Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley Of New Orleans. his member
OF the committee, TO submit two planks:
First. THAT the Democratic party
pledges itself to have a leadership In
Congress not privately or profession
ally obligated to interests inimicable
to the welfare of the general public"
Second. The Democratic party
pledges itself to undertake the fair dis
tribution Of wealth into the hands Of
all the people by taxation or such other
laws that may be necessary"
They were taken under advisement.
As he came out he was asked II he
meant to apply his first plank to Senator
Josiph T. Robinson of Arkansas, Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate, whom he
has lambasted on the floor Of the
Senate.
Elated Over Three Victories.
"If the cap fits him. let him wear IT,"
he snapped as he swung of down the
aisle looking for something else to settle.
Huey was feeling good He had won
three battles over his Louisiana poor
fish," as he termed the opposition, and
had spoken in Roosevelt pep meet
ing.
He had addressed the national con-
vention and weathered storm Of boos
and catcalls. He spoke for the seating
Of his delegates against hoots, laughter
and applause, and wound up with
enough votes to seat his crew and with
very few boos left In the audience.
He was getting himself steamed up
for another speech on the floor of the
convention, intending TO speak today
on his two planks unless he Is gagged
and anchored to his seat.
1t was great day for Huey and he
intends to make it great convention
for the "kingfish."

MRS. PYkE BATTLES
FOR JOUETT SHOUSE
Prettiest Picture on Convention
Stage Also Veteran in Political
Mill.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
CHICAGO, June 29.-Sifver bob
shining in every fiy-away strand, Mrs.
Bernice S. Pyke of Ohio, was the pref
tiest picture thus far on the convention
stage as she gave verbal battle Syester-
day for Jouette Shouse as permanent
chairman
But Mrs. Pyke was very much In ear
nest, and her speech, in which every
sentence was given with emphasis, cut
through to the ears of the delegates On
its intrinsic foreefulness.
She simply recounted the Official rec
ord of the Chicago meeting last April
in which the Arrangements COMMITTEE,
with whom she was sitting, agreed upon
,Jouette Shouse as permanent chairman.
Much at home in political conven-
tions Mrs. Pyke presented an appearance
that would give no inkling to the un-
initiated of her place in party parleys.
She is considered one of three out
standing women whom the women party
leaders consult "as though they were
men"-tle other two being Mrs. Eliza
beth Marbury and Mrs. Henry Mosko-
witz, both New Workers.
1--WE been national committee
woman ever since there were women on
the National Committee" she said, as
she stepped from the platform after her
speech, land I was in suffrage long pe-
fore that, campaigning the country
over"
OF her Shouse defense, she said, with
very blue eyes telling how much she
was In earnest: "As woman, had to
do it, Women in politics must keep the
faith. If the men had kept the faith,
we would not have had this fight on the
floor"

the friends Of Alfred E. Smith and
other candidates over reports from close
to Tammany, that the Tiger delegates
we're seriously considering rallying to
Roosevelt. Leaders of the organization
already had said frankly they intended
to swing to the prospective winner at
the proper time.
Texas and California we're soundly
pledged to Speaker Garner. but rumors
about the former were flying about like
excited bees One report was that
Garner would be offered the vice presi-
dency II he would swing the As votes
If Texas in line.
There was no verification Of this,
however, and there was doubt that Cali
fornia would follow Texas even then.
Confident, beaming, Roosevelt cap
tains were predicting today that oppo-
sition sand bags piled against the anti
Roosevelt levee we're insufficient and
that once there was siZable break, it
would all be over but the rejoicing and
the sorrow.
The reply. of course, was an entirely
contrary forecast.
