EYED BY C|NA

Preservation of the piers Of the
old Aqueduct bridge for a new
span to connect projected park
ways on both sides of the Poto-
mac, and construction Of q boule-
ward along the old Chesapeake &
Ohio canal, are new public works
proposals, designed to be carried
out with CWA funds.
The old bridge is being razed
with CWA money. The piers will
be razed to five feet above high
water, which would enable them
to be used for a new bridge.
CWA workers who are fight
ing ticks hereabouts haven't seen
a tick yet, it was said today, but
they are eliminating them never
theless by burning underbrush,
grass, rotted logs and such. Also
they are killing rats and mice
that carry ticks.
CWA aid for the deaf is under
consideration by a conference un-
der the championship of Howard
M. McManaway, superintendent
Of the Virginia School for the
Deaf and Blind.

TIMES BETTER;
NEW YORK CAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 G.N.s0.
With the most cheerful express
sion it has worn since the mar
ket crash of 1929, New York
went back to work today still
relishing the happiest Christmas
in years.
Ranks of the destitute have
decreased greatly, welfare and
relief agencies reported.
Retail merchants looked for
ward to the new year with new
hope and confidence, with Grover
A. Whalen, city NRA commits
sioner, reporting gain "of at
least 10 per cent" in business
over the Christmas period last
year. He said:
'"The merchants really feel
we are on the upgrade. The
Christmas trade has been an
inspiration"
No one went hungry or cold
on the holiday. City lodging
houses, the Salvation Army, Elks,
1-nights of Columbus, American
Legion, Civic, church and fra
ternal organizations made GER
tain Of that. It was estimated
that at least half a million peo-
pie were cheered by free dinners
served by these organizations or
by Christmas baskets.

GOVERNMENT FUNDS THAT WOULD
BENEFIT

Much has been made Of the question OF bor-
rowing money to give Butte labor employment
and many building projects have been presented
such as building sewers and new high schools,
both worthy projects, but building programs
that will increase taxes. The Montana Labor
News suggests a building program that will bring
government funds to Butte and at the same time
reduce taxes and be self liquidating.
Nothing has been said about a municipal-own-
ed power plant and water system. The Federal
Government will loan money to municipalities
for the building of municipally=Owned power
plants, water and sewerage systems. There is
money in supplying electrical energy to homes
and industries. If there weren't private corpor-
ations wouldn't fight municipal ownership. II
the County Of Silver Bow owned and operated
its own power and water systems the profits
would build high schools, repay the loan and in
time almost entirely wipe out taxation. 1t
would cost you no more than you are now pay
ing for light and water.
Let the Chamber of Commerce and Joint Com
mittee of employers and workers think about
such a proposition and present a petition to Sill
yer Bow County voters and we venture to say
that it wouldn't take three months to get enough
signers to call an election on the question.

THE COPELAND BILL

A bill is to come before the next session of
Congress that is of vital importance to the fam
lilies of all workers. This bill is presented to
strengthen and enlarge the scope Of the Pure
Food and Drugs Administration The bill seeks
to protect consumers from INSCRIPTIONS manu-
f%acturers who peddle rank posons at a fancy
profit, as cure-all for common ailments.
Do you know that a nationally advertised
toothpaste is poison and that by eating a tube
of it people have committed suicide?
Do you know that a nationally known product
sold to correct faulty elimination is the best
thing you can take to rupture an appendix?
Do you know that certain foodstuffs sold in
this country are not allowed in European coun-
tries because they have preservatives dangerous
to the life and health OF people eating them?
Do you know that a manufactures Of patent
medicines that may kill your family can only be
subject to the following penalties have his prod
uct confiscated, fined SIS and prohibited from
p~eddling the product under the old name?
The Copeland bill would increase the penalties
and force the manufacturer to make his adver-

GETTING AT THE ROOT

Said Rexford G. TugwelL, assistant secretary
Of agriculture, addressing the Adult Education
Association in Chicago the other day:
Perhaps the most popular Of all the present
ly prevalent theories OF government among bust
ness men runs in the following terms: In or
der to set things going again we must insure
business a profit. Only with this assurance will
they begin to borrow to expand their operations
and to give employment. What is holding us
back, it is said, is ncertainty-uncertaintly that
goods made can be sold at a gain, uncertainty
that these gains can be invested in further en-
terprises which will make us further profits, Ill
timately to be sailed down in bonds redeemable
in gold.
I'VE (the Roosevelt administration are trying
to show that heaped-up corporate SURPRISES and
an over-concentration Of wealth are not the life
Of trade but the death of trade. Incomes must
be transformed into larger wages and higher
prices to farmers, not simply stacked up in ster-
lie boards of capital if wealth in any large and
gratifying sense is to breed again.
If, I should like to ask, we guarantee profits,
in the terms Of their Interpretation, to all bust
ness men, who is to buy the goods OH which the
profits are made 1t is elementary that pur-
chasing power must equal retail prices if activity
is to be maintained. This is not consistent with
the kind Of profits contemplated under the the
DRY | have mentioned, and the kind to which
many businesses are attempting to help them
selves under the sheltering wings OF our Blue
Eagle.
Nothing but higher wages and farm incomes,
together with moderated retail prices, can re-
dress the Embellishments which continue to exist
in the structure of our prices. Profits will have
to follow from new efficiencies. TO put them
first is to put the cart before the horse

THE BLUE EAGLE AND THE UNFAIR LIST

The non-union BARRIERS of Butte, calling them
selves the MONTANA BARRIERS UNION"
have sent lengthy resolutions to the Labor News,
the Butte daily papers and the Compliance Board
protesting the fact that although they signed
the BARRIERS code their names still appear on
this they r~epudiate the code they signed, accuse
the BARRIERS union of breaking faith and present
a code of their own in the name of patriotism
and what have you.
To the Montana BARRIERS Union" and the read
ers of the Montana Labor News, we state that
the Blue Eagle is not an emblem OF fairness to
organized labor. The unfair list carries the
names of people who employ non-union labor,
fail to belong to or abide by the rulings OF bona
fide A.. F.. Of L. unions. Barber shops may fly
Blue Eagles, pay wages higher than the union
scale and work shorter hours and still be unfair
to organized labor.
This protest is another example Of the abuse
of the Blue Eagle banner. The Montana Bar
bers' Union" would have the Blue Eagle replace
the union shop card as manufacturers and retail
ers would have the Blue Eagle replace the union
label. There is no substitute for the UNION
LABEL and the UNION SHOP CARD. Look
for both when you buy. The only emblem OF
fair wages, decent working conditions and fair
hours Of labor that will ever be recognized by
unionists is the UNION LABEL and UNION
SHOP CARD.

their desirability as neighbors and
the need for their skill in a well-bal-
anced BODYBUILDING unit of crafts
men. That is, there will be the cor
rect proportion of painters, plumbers
and roofers to carpenters.
The Public Works Administration
has been asked to lend $45S,0 900 to
Commonwealth Community to cover
the cost of the land, building mater
ials and i~ncidentals, plus 40 per cent
of the labor cost to be paid in cash
to the members of the community.
The other go per cent would amount
to practically a 20 per cent payment
on the completed house and 1-acre
tract which each member would get.
Each unit would be valued at S2,830,
of which $40 would have been cred
tied by the go per cent of the labor
which was not paid for. The build
er-buyer would owe $1,000 on which
he would pay A per cent interest and
would reduce the principal "a per
CSHt d year. mdhlllS d OUJdl carrying
charge, with taxes, of SIS a month.
That is, SIS a month would cover pay
ment on the home, interest and taxes.
There will be no such thing as the
mortgage coming due all at once and
the home being lost.
The plan has the approval of the
labor movement of Fresno, a city of
some $4,000 people. The proposed
members have lived in the city from
five to 25 years and have a record
of steady self-support until the panic
stopped their employment almost COM
pletely.
The proposal includes a provision

UNIONIST HEADS
SOCIALIST RULE
IN BRIDGEPORT

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-(FP)-The
story of the victory of Jasper Nc
Levy, sworn in Nov. 10 as mayor of
Bridgeport, is the story of a 20-year
fight for trade unionism and for So
cialism. He was the first Socialist
ever to be elected mayor of any Con-
necticut city, and it is significant that
the city was Bridgeport, industrial
capital of the state, where for three
years organized labor has made
steady gains in unionizing the gar
ment workers.
Jasper, as he is known not only to
his fellow-workers in Bridgeport but
to thousands of trade ~unionists
throughout the country, has always
been i'll the forefront in the struggle
to organize American workers. A
Socialist, a member of the national
executive committee Of the Socialist
Party, McLevy has been honored by
his fellow trade ~unionists by election
to the presidency of the Init. Union
of J%ourneymen Slate & Tile Roofers
and to the presidency of the Connecti-
cut Federation of Labor. 1t is his
boast that he has never been defeat
ed for any office he has sought in
trade union circles. Typical of his
pride in his class, McLevy was found
by reporters the day after his sweep
into office working on a roofing job.
And typical, perhaps, of McLevy's
understanding of his new post was
his decision to send the mayors
Pierce-Arrow, with a police sergeant
as chauffeur, back to the police de-
partment, telling them to trade in the
limousine for two patrol cars and put
the sergeant back to police duty.
McLevy never knew the meaning of
defeat. Beaten nine times for the
Bridgeport ~mayoralty, defeated for
governor of Connecticut, he returned
to the arena each year with undimin-
ished enthusiasm. Year after year,
he kept hammering at the old parties
and, observers declare, it was due in
great part to McLevy that the Bridge
port voters in 1928 turned out the
Republicans and elected Democrats
After a 5-year trial of the Democrats,
they turned to the Socialist Party,
nearly a full administration
with the new mayor.
The Bridgeport Herald printed
nearly eight columns of kilograms of
congratulations that poured in on Nc
Levy from trade unionists and Social
lists all over the country. Among
hose who wired We're David Dubinsky,
president of the Init. Ladies Garment
Workers Union, Edward Head of the
steamfitters' union, Max Zaritsky,
president of the Cloth Hat, Cap &
Millinery Workers Init. Union, Nor
man Thomas and Leo Krzycki of the
Socialist Party, Charles Goldman of
Init. Pocketbook Workers Union,
Daniel Hoan, Socialist mayor of Mil
waukee, Dan Donovon, secretary of
Continental Congress of Workers
and Farmers, and J. Weinberg, pres
ident of the Workmen's Circle.

that members shall accept every days
work available in Fresno at regular
wages, the work on the community
project to be carried on during what
would be lost time. 1t is proposed
that the work be completed within a
year. If the plan is carried out, it
will mean that each one of these 200
workers will get $500 in cash and $40
of an equity in a home during the
year which will be net income above
what he otherwise would have had.
Observers here point out that this
is a substantial forward step from the
idea so prevalent a year ago of labor
exchange and one which fits into the
Roosevelt administrations plans for
relief so well that it may we'll spread
