THE CLOSED BANKS

Perhaps there will some day be an
explosion about the re-opening Of
closed banks, or the failure to reopen
them.
Stories continue to pop up, as in
Philadelphia and in Washington, of
the powerful banks keeping the lid
down on the smaller closed institu-
tions.
In Philadelphia it is "the big fve,"
in Washington the "big four"
1t has been said, and spotted on
maps, mo little bank opened in Sec
tion where a branch of big bank
operated"
In any event, billions Of dollars in
cash and credit have been frozen by

/" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Col. Louis McHenry Howe, presi-
Dental secretary, has been having his
troubles.
There was-and is-the camp kit
episode, which at first seemed to in
volve Bob" Fechner more than the
colonel, but which now seems to be
much more a question of the colo
nel's judgment.
But, the camp kit muddle wasn't
even cool before the radio issue bob
bed up to cause waves of worry
around presidential G. H. Q.
1t seems that the colonel did radio
talk or two and then signed a 10
weeks contract with N. B. C. and the
RCA-Victor organization for ten sue
cessive 15-minute talks.
Senator Vandenberg brought out on
the floor of the senate the price of
these contracts. 1t appears that Col.
Howe gets 5000 out of total expen-
diture of S1,500 for each broadcast.
The broadcast costs at the rate of
800 a minute.
What got under the senatorial
skins was the fact that Col Howe
used one of his talks to lambast the
senate, in an effort to induce public
opinion in favor of certain provisions
of the recovery act to which power
full senators were opposed.
Those who favored the administra-
tion's draft of the recovery act wish
ed Col Howe success in his cam
paign.

probably rightly, the propriety of an

THE UNION LABEL

The union label on any commodity
is the only guarantee the ultimate
purchaser can have that that partic-
ular product did not come from a
prison factory, sweatshop or AN in
dustrial plant manned by children
toilers. The union label on any prod
uct is guarantee that those who
produced it were paid living wage.
No further guarantee should be nec-
essary.
"Buy American-m goods" is not
enough. The slogan may appeal to
synthetic profteers and those who
feel that anything made in America
has been sanctified. American sweat
shops are no more wholesome than
German Australian or Japanese
sweatshops. Nor are the products of
American child workers any more
holy than the products of little
heathens.
Buy American-made goods, but in
sist that these wares carry the union
label. By so doing you will strike a
death blow at one of the most vicious
industrial systems under the sum-
Union Advocate.

A CHANGED WORLD

Here's an indication of the over
whelming Importance of the national
industrial recovery act, taken from
a magazine edited, not for wage
earners, but for those who are pow
erful in the money world.

DOVE FACE A BUILDING BOOM?

4
The national industrial recovery act
allocates three BILLION three hum
dred million dollars for public works.
A great deal of this money will go
| to the financing of enterprises that
have little to do with construction,
as the term is generally used. There
will be rivers and harbors-which are
ALWAYS with us-and there will be
sewage systems and many such
things.
But there will be lot of real con-
struction.
Perhaps the construction industry,
which employs so many men that it
keeps more than a million workers
busy behind the lines" is in for what
will look a great deal like boom,
in contrast to the past three years.
This will be good news in every
section of America. 1t is reported
that great deal of building is ready
for the starters gun. Plans are
ready, everything is ready except the
money, and that is now ready.

dred million dollars to float this big
financing. Then, in interest, COM
pounded, it will cost some six billion
dollars for ultimate repayment, so
that, finally, we shall pay for this
job three times its initial cost. That
is mighy heavy cost.
All will rejoice that the money is
to be available. But many will ask
why such a terrific toll should have
to be paid to those who lend Uncle

voted.
For congress hasn't voted actual
money that is in the treasury; it has
voted the right to borrow that much.
The line of lenders is ready to do the
lending. AS always.
And a new war debt burden looms
for the future.
Someone has asked why the gov
ernment should not start it's fine
printing presses and just print that
money.
Those who tell Us they are finance
experts, learned in the science of
finance, which does not exist, warn
of awful penalties for such a pro-
ceedure
But could it be any more awful
than the burden of interest that will
have to be paid to those who have
got the money, largely through such
means as those described in the Nor
gan investigation?

officer of the executive branch using
the air and getting paid to contest the
will of the legislative branch.
Perhaps this is not the end OF the
difficulty. A number of the admins
tration luminosities are writing regu-
larly for pay. There has been ques-
ton already of the propriety of gov
ernment officials or employees taking
pay from private institutions while
on the government payroll. There
have been some adverse decisions in
cases somewhat like that.
Among these regular writers are
Brain Trust members Moley, Berle
and Tugwell. Reason says, Let 'em
write; it may be that statutes will
say something else. Anyway, an in
teresting issue is in the making.
Northumberland this is not ex-
actly an exceptional time in this re-
spect - is filled with rumblings and
curious doings.
There is, for example, growing
furore about the private secretary OF
certain highly placed official. The
lady secretarial person is reputed to
be more powerful than her chief and
to WELD almost the power of life and
death by the simple nod or shake OF
her fair head
All of these things constitute per-
haps the trivia that humanizes a sit
uation in which Notwithstanding revo-
lutionary events are taking place. The
nation is in the re-making. It's great
est institutions are being modified and
re-molded. And in the midst of an
| earthquake we learn of these minor
things and get laugh out of life,
or find some substance upon which to
nourish a minor crouch. Thinking
only of mountainous things begets,
quite possibly, dullness of mind
which is not advantageous or health
in these times.

FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1888
Mr.. TEAGLE ON THE BOARD

A few days ago list of men sug-
gested to be members of an advisory
committee representing employers in
the recovry administration act was
made public. 1t was not reassuring
For example, the first name on the
list was that of Walter C. Teagle,
president of Standard Oil of New
Jersey.
Now, Mr.. Teagle is an estimable
gentleman and let US say very sin
cere. He did what he could to pro-
mote the "share-the-w work" movement,
which was not very sound, but which
seemed likely to help bit in a time
of distress.
But Mr.. Teagle is president of
Standard Oil, and he cannot divorce
himself from the office unless he
quits it entirely, which he will not do.
1t is not difficult to imagine what
Southwestern oil men said to each
other when they read about Mr.. Tea
gle's selection. They probably said
a great deal more that could not
be quoted, because they regard Mr..
Teagle, rightly or wrongly, as their
natural and mortal enemy, and they
can see only their own murder if he
is to fix policies. Some said it looked
as if there were an effort to sabotage
the new law before it really found
its feet

Franklin's Cartesa

Benjamin Franklin was the first to
print cartoon in his Pennsylvania
Gazette. There were rumors of war
with the French and on May 8, 1ToA,
Franklin published an advice" for
Major Washington that the fort in the
forks of the Monongshsla had been
surrendered to the French. To this
he added a cartoon representing 4
snake cut into eight parts, the head
representing New England and the
seven parts New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia.
North Carolina and South Carolina.
This cartoon was widely copied BY
other newspapers at the time.

THE GASOLINE TAX

1t is said that twentieth Of all
tax revenue, national, state and To-
cal, is derived from gasoline.
There are plenty who oppose a
sales tax on almost everything, but
who have no protest when gasoline is
taxed and taxed and taxed.
Perhaps they have in mind the
great oil barons. But the tax on gaso-
lire finds it way straight to the re-
tail pump, where the man in the auto
mobile pays as he buys.
Mechanics going to work pay their
tax as they pass the pump. Day la
borers, who commonly use cars in
these times, contribute their bit
Union organizers, fitting from place
to place, pay their share. Every car
owner pays and in some states the
tax runs as high as six cents for every
Is miles of driving.
The idea that the automobile is
the rich mans hobby ought to be
played out, but there still seems to
be lingering of that idea.
The fact is that one of the surest
ways of hitting the wage Garner hard
and true is to put new taxes on gaso-
line. And the poorer the cars, the
more gasoline they burn and the more
the POOR driver pays in taxes.

'Perk Barrel" Lssislation

This term originated In the early
part Of the last century. On March
8, 1923, congress passed the nrst bill
for harbor Improvements. Opponents
Of the bill alleged it, advocates voted
for 1t for political reasons only. This
so-callsd rush" on the federal treas
ury was compared to the rush made
by the slaves on southern plantations
when the pork barrel was opened.
River and harbor Improvement bills
were afterward facstiously called
"pork barrel bills" The term has
since extended to any legislation sup
posedly passed for purposes Of politi-
cal patronage.
