And then-A. T. & T. dropped from
300 and something
To about 85-or less.
Of course: Uncle Sam is guaran-
teeing something or other for the
railroads.
That never was done for the grocer
or candle stick maker.
Perhaps they are not important.
But that guarantee put sort of
security under railroad promises to
pay.
Nothing really competed with the
railroads
| They had pretty clear sailing in the
J matter of rates
What with the "high-ball" from the
supreme court,
And the knockout given the canal

I And then-some runa-abouts with
trailers started carrying freight.
A little real competition began to
make the old locomotives sweat.
| Somebody found that 95 per cent Of
the old teakettles were obsolete.
| Then somebody else found out that
the same old teakettles hadn't been
paid for.
Then another feller reported that

Had been "watered" before it was

high enough to cover all that

Meanwhile because Uncle Sam had
OK'd the railroad business
Insurance companies were using
railroad securities to build their re-

Everybody knows these "securi-
ties" were full of water.
But they never stopped to think
what a poor reservoir they would
make.
In case of a food.
And then, on October 20, 1929, it
began to rain.
1t is still raining.
Noah's food wasn't a circum-
stance to this Depression Deluge.
A leak in the reservoir started
over on the side next to the Morgan
House.
A man named Dawes was called
home from Lunnon, to calk up the
hole.
He used some stuff from the Re-

Q.-DOes organized labor agree
with the ideas expounded by the
technocracy group?
A.-There has been no official
statement of labor opinion. The
probability is that labor would agree
to much of the Indictment drawn by
the democracy group, and would re-
ject its theory as to remedy. It is
to be remembered that organized la
Dor has its own officially adopted
program for cure, and it is not likely
to abandon it. In any event it could
not, until another convention should
assemble.
Q.-Is there some convenient state
ment of labOr's view of its economic
power to which can refer for class
work?
Airy this, page 35, 1906 con-
vention proceedings: "As time goes
on, the consensus of opinion is agreed
that the exercise by labor of it's eco
nomic power is, after all, certainly
the greatest power which can be
welded"

STATE GAS TAX RECEIPTS

For the second time this
year, the gross gasoline tax
collected by the comptroller's
office showed a drop from the
1881 figures. The amount COL
lected in August was 1858, 7O3-
81, a decrease of $4l,29O.55
from the mark set for the same
month last year.
The previous slump was
made in June when for the first
time in the year the amount
collected was lower than the
1881 figure. The 1882 total
over a period of eight months
shows a slight increase over
last year. Including the Aug
ust amount the tax this year is
$5,O65, 8O5.25 larger by $244,-
82O.69 than for the same period
of 1881.

WAR CHESTS SLIM

Predictions of meager war
chests for the political cam
paigns seem to be borne out by
a financial report of the Re-
publican national committee
covering the months of June
July and August, when the tot
al contributions were but $76.-
O25.57, leaving a deficit of So
002.83.
Instead of the rich tide of
contributions which ordinarily
rolls in to party headquarters
at this stage of the campaign
the slim pitances doled out to
the party in power provide elo-
quent evidence of the need for
economy which has dominated
the campaign strategy of both
Republicans and Democrats.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

The American per capita loss
from fire now is nearly double
that of 20 years ago and "con-
stitutes a challenge to our eff
forts that no citizen can afford
to ignore" said President
Hoover in a proclamation is
sued September 2 designating
the week. of October 9 as "Na-
tional Fire Prevention Week. +"
The proclamation follows, in
part:
In commencing the custo-
mary public observance of Fire
Prevention Week, l wish to
urge that it be made this year
an occasion of special signifi-
canoe.
The deplorable loss of thous-
ands of human lives and the
property waste of approx
mately $5OO,0O0,0OO caused
each year by fires should be
|scrupulously avoided. The
American per capita loss now
is nearly double that of 20
years ago, and constitutes a
challenge to our efforts that no
citizen can afford to ignore.
1t is a drain on our created re-
sources which we should strive
to eliminate as it is largely
preventable.
The observance of National
Fire Prevention Week should
serve to arouse the attention
and stimulate the action of all
citizens in preventing fire
waste.
Now, therefore, I, Herbert
Hoover, President of the Unit
ed States of America, do here
by proclaim the week of Octob-
er, 8, 1882, to be observed as
Fire Prevention Week. To the
many organizations that have
taken an interest in this SUBJ
ject | especially appeal that
they unite on definite plan of
cooperation to the end that all
citizens may be aroused to
their individual responsible
ties.

CRITICIZES OPPONENTS

Norman Thomas, the Social
list presidential candidate has
taken fling at his Republican
and Democratic opponents. He
says President Hoover has
given doles like water to pri-
vate business in the name of
rugged individualism while he
has denied federal responsible
ty for nationwide unemploy-
ment." Gov. Franklin D. Roo
sevelt is described as "a gen.
tleman of amiable intentions
who leans whichever way the
wind blows"
Both major political parties
also come under the verbal
lash of the Socialist candidate.
"Over and over we have chal-
lenged the Republican and
Democratic Parties to meet our
argument and they are silent, -
he says. "They try to deafen
you by ballyhoo or bride you
with little favors. :"
Socialist Principles-A five

right for every unemployed
family, national unemploy-
ment insurance, and a program

Hard times have had many
unfortunate effects, but they
have at least had one good one
in the increased road work be-
ing done in all parts of the
country. The speeding up has
been principally an effort to
alleviate unemployment, as 80
cents out of the road dollar
goes to labor, on the average.
But where most relief schemes
fail, at the public expense, this

STATE SUMMARY GIVEN ON
FIRST BUILDING CENSUS

An analysis of the first Fed
eral census of buildings con-
struction in Maryland reveals
that in 1929 business of 40
contractors aggregated $685.
O75, 431.
Of this construction 208 gen.
eral contractors reported ST.
829,76O, and 1919 subcontractors
reported $30,245,662. These
figures do not include those
contractors whose + business
amounted to less than $4,000.
The Census Bureaus statis-
tics also show that in the year
under study, seven contractors
in the State did a business of
more than $1,00O,OOO each and
seventeen did more than $780,
900 each.
The years total for the
Maryland contractors included

the State. Construction in
Pennsylvania by Maryland
contractors led this portion of
The tabulation amounting to
$685., 105. The District of
Columbia followed with a total
of $5,S72,252.

close that during the year
Maryland contractors paid in
wages $2O,834,193. The peak
of employment of that year
was reached in August, when

The planted acreage of sweet
corn for canning in this state
is estimated to be about one
half that harvested last year.
The 1882 crop was planted on
about 20,100 acres as compared
with $4,000 acres harvested
last year, $4,000 acres in 1880
and $4,000 in 1929. For the
rest of the country the crop
will be grown on 164,420 acres,
less than half of the crop of
last year.

FIVE DAY WEEK

A board of inquiry into the
possibilities of introducing
shorter work periods in Amer
lean industry has been started
by the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce.
The study is designed to find
means of further spreading
employment to relieve the
present emergency and from a
long-range viewpoint.
The claims for a shorter
work schedule are that it
means more general employ
ment for everybody, more reg
ular work for those employed
greater efficiency on the job
more leisure for workers to
lead better balanced lives and
consume certain kinds of goods
and increased purchasing pow
er and development of home
markets.
Not only in the United States
is the five-day week coming to
the front for discussion, but at
the Congress of the Interna-
tional Transport Workers Fed
GRAFTON. held at Prague, c. T.
Cramp, the British railway
mems leader, called for sup
port for the trade unions which
demand a forty-hour week, on
the ground that the prevalence
of unemployment is not to be
attributed so much to dimin-
ished trade as to the general
advance in the machinery and
organization of industry. An
enormous amount of human
work has been eliminated, and
the need for man power, to use
the old-fashioned phrase, has
been reduced.
1t is to be observed, too, that
those years which have seen
the greatest progress in inven-
ton are precisely those years
in which women had been adj
mitted into the ranks of the
worlds workers on a more or
less equal footing with men.
Thus there are more potential
workers when there is less
necessary work.
Clearly, the clock cannot be
put back, and nobody would
wish either to scrap machinery
or to exclude women from in
dustry. Rightly considered
the decrease OF individual work
should be regarded as an i'm
mense benefit and not a disad-
vantage-provided there is a
fair distribution of labor.
The better distribution OF
labori means a. more equitable
distribution of greater quaint
ties of goods, and that in its
turn means more production
and accordingly more employ
ment. The case for shorter
working week undoubtedly de-
serves the closest study.
