MUSCLE SHOALS
TRIUMPH NEAR

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Triumph
for effective public ownership and
operation of the Muscle Shoals power
plant under the terms of the Norris
bill was assured May 9 when Senator
Norris and Chairman McSwain of the
House conference committee on the
bill emerged from a talk with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House.
Roosevelt had persuaded" McSwain
that the carrying out, in good faith, of
Roosevelt's campaign pledges for de-
velopment at Muscle Shoals, required
that the House Democrats accept the
provisions in the Norris bill for con-
struction of government transmission
lines and for experimental, rather
than compulsory, production of fer
tilizer.
The power lobby had been holding
up the Tennessee Valley development
program in the House on these two
points.

WHEN DO WE EAT?

The news from Germany is more
encouraging. According to Hitler's
own statement, only $50 persons were
killed, 10000 wounded and 100000
driven from business during the in
augural celebration. Since then the
casualties have materially decreased
or are given less publicity.
Hitler also announced that while
Jews and Marxists are still on the
unfair list, Jewish bankers will not
be b~oycotted. This is as it should
be because money has neither ma
tionality, religion nor conviction.
What's more, unless politics is more
nutritious in Germany than it is over
here, the slogan of the Brown Shirts
soon will be, "wen komnits essen"
(when do we eat?) instead of "hail
Hitler" Now eats, as some Of you
may have discovered by now, cost
money, in which case bankers, even
Jewish bankers, may come handy to
Hitler.
The sad truth is that Hitler, in COM
mon with the heads of every modern
nation, our own included, is up
against a condition in which it be-
comes difficult to deliver the goods.
Now if Hitler has a magic formula
by which he can transmute campaign
promises into bread and butter, well
and good. If he hasn't, his name is
Dennis.

may think of Marx, the fact remains

Whereas: The United States Gov
eminent through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, has come to the
aid Of the Banks, Railroads, Insur-
anee Companies and the producers of
cotton and wheat, thus assisting in
s~tabiliziug and aiding in the finan-
cial reconstruction.
Whereas: The surplus in the do
nestle copper industry is roughly es-
timated at a billion pounds. CA large
part of the surplus was dumped into
this country before the 4c tax was
imposed by the last Congress); and,
Whereas: To save the industry
from which many thousands of Amer
lean Citizens depend on for their live
lihood, your petitioners ask that the
United States Government buy this
surplus stock and turn it over to the
War Department, as an investment.
We hold, to buy the Metal at the pres
ent price would be economical and it
would enable the Mining Companies
to obtain cash to pay their indebted
ness to the banks, thereby helping
the financial institutions, and the
Mining Companies could re-establish
themselves on a sound basis Of opera
ton and be thus enabled to put la
Dor back into the mines, mills and
smelters, and bring relief to thou
sands of citizens and aid general re-
covery.
Therefore Be 1t Resolved: That the
United States Government through

ton, purchase this said copper sur
plus, and that the sum Of fifty mil
lions dollars be appropriated for that
purpose. Said copper to be turned
over to the War Deartment.
And Be It Further Resolved: We
ask aid of all employing companies
engaged in this industry, also the
Local Central Council, the Montana

Miss Perkins Scores Labor
Dictatorship Stories

NEW YORK-(FP)- Diselaiming
any aim of dictatorship over labor
through the Black bill, which news
papers branded as providing sweeping
control over industry, Sec. of Labor
Frances Perkins told New York re-
porters that her changes in the bill
limited her powers rather than widen
ed them. She said she would be
swamped with work if she had to de-
eide what industries r to be ex-
empt from its 30-hour week provi-
sions, and therefore she had proposed
a board of three with the power to
make such exemptions.
A public record should be kept Of
the exceptions, which are chiefly in
seasonal industries, she declared.
Pointing to severe wage cuts, she as
serted it was vital to have a minimum
wage provision in the 30-hour week
bill.

COCK-EYED
- q
THE REAL CULPRITS
(By ADAM ~COALDIGGER)

| just been reading the Moscow
News, and judging from the testi-
mony offered at the trial of those
English engineers accused of sabotage
and espionage, they are as guilty as
well, as a fox caught with the
chicken legs sticking out of his craw
is guilty of Misunderstanding. In fact,
the accused plead guilty on every
count claiming their innocence only
on general principles.
At the same time I'm right glad the
Bolsheviki didn't shoot the honorable
gentlemen. Being dead, their employ
ers could have cut them off the pay
roll. Now they most likely have to
keep the boys on salary to prevent
them from spilling more beans.
If anybody ought to be shot for
things like that, it is the directing
heads of the Metro-Vickers Co., in
whose behalf the culprits operated.
Think Of a concern so damned ornery
as to accept honest hard-earned
money for electrical equipment cost
ing millions of dollars, then paying
those installation engineers for put
ting the equipment on the blink
If the Metro- Vickers Co. wasn't
primarily engaged in the manufacture
of munitions, even the written confess
sion of their employees would leave
me in some doubt. But being NUM-
ton makers, they naturally are the
lowest critters in the animal kingdom,
including human beings, which is the
worst that can be said about any liv-
ing thing.
Before the big war, agents of
Krupp were caught bribing French
newspapers to print inflammatory ar
ticles against Germany. That done,
they bribed German newspapers 10
print the French articles in German
translation to prove to the poor dubs
that France was just raring to cut
their threats. While Krupp was thus
periodically engaged, the great
Schneider munition concern on the
other side of the Rhine caused ar
ticles breathing birthstone and sui
phur against Frenchmen to be insert
ed in German newspapers, which then
reprinted in French, convinced the
poor Trenches that the Germans
were laying awake at night thinking
how to exterminate them in toto.
What I'm telling here is not hear
say. The discriminating documents in
question were presented to the Ger
man ~reichstag by Karl Liebknecht in
1918, and there wasn't even a denial.
If the German and French people had
shot their respective munition makers
at that time, as they should have,
Karl Liebknecht and some four mil
lion Germans and Frenchmen would
be still living. ] amt a bit blood
thirsty, but I've come to the conclu-
sion long ago that the best way to
keep peace in the family is to shoot
munition makers at sight and try them
afterwards.

"They have used the marvels of the

"They have taken the products of
