STAY ON THE JOB

1t may be somewhat eXcuSable for
man, prompted by desire to better his
financial condition, to quit job for
chance to work on the emergency relief
program because the latter pays high
er scale than his present employment,
but there are times when ones desires
must be curbed.
The emergency work is just what it is
termed and is designed only for those
who have no work. Men holding down
poorly paid jobs must curb their wishes
to get on the emergency ROLL even though
it may seem unfair to them to deny them
this.
There is no excuse, however, for the
incident related by the chairman of the
relief commission. He tells of man
having steady job which paid him $50
a month. This the worker quit to get on
the emergency roll because the latter
would pay him enough to live on" and
he would have more leisure time in which
to rest up"
1t is announced that men who leave
steady employment of any kind merely tt
get on the relief rolls, will not be givei
employment by the emergency relief
commission. This may seem an arbitrary
stand to take but it is the right one
This community is going to have its
hands full providing some work each
month for the many deserving cases it
will be called upon to handle. 1t is not
fair to anyone to add to its burdens the
confusion caused by men shifting from
job to job.
Those having work of any kind will do
we'll to stay with it for the relief COM
mission checks each applicant carefully
and those whose records are not "clean"
will be denied chance to enroll for the
emergency work
AS for the fellow who sought~.Ienty
of time to "rest," he should be given an
opportunity to get more of that than he
desired.

Fellow Sufferers

New York city is going to suffer the same
penalty as Waterbury. judging by recent re-
ports from that city. 1t won't get any gov
eminent help for taking care of its Thousands
of unemployed. Waterbury is similarly
penalized. AT least unless officials in charge
of the distribution of the state funds change
their opinion she will be. 1t is claimed that
Waterbury's appropriations for unemployed
relief and aid in the last few years have not
been sufficient to warrant transfer of govern
ment funds in the proportion due u.s.
This is obviously strict Interpretation of
a federal ruling. We don't see how it can
be said that the city has been deficient in its
relief work. On the contrary the city is re-
garded throughout the East as model in this
respect. Our system of providing relief for
the many men and women out of work is
simply a division of the salaries of those Of
the more fortunate with the unfortunate
ones. If that ism relief work on an efficient
scale then pray what is? We don't know
how New York city has acted throughout the
depression, but certainly Waterbury deserves
every consideration for its great work.
And if the state administrators of the
fund are not aware of this fact then they
should acquant themselves of the facts be-
fore making any hasty decisions. We recall
that during the legislative session just passed
the state was warned that until it created an
emergency relief board it could not obtain
federal funds. To this board is given the
task of apportioning money on the basis of
relief work in the towns and cities. In view
of the fact that this board was created simply
to enable the state to share in fund we
think it should study up all local situations
more thoroughly before ruling any COM
munities out of the money.

When they started to clean out the pro-

ices would cease last Wednesday. When this
was made public the fun started Attorney
General Cummings was on vacation in
Connecticut and it developed that in his
absence someone took too much authority
upon himself and ordered the wholesale fir
ings. This wasn't the intention of the de-
partment, though. 1t intended to clean house
to be sure, but not to end all prohibition
enforcement. Until the dry laws are abso-
lutely removed from the statute books they
will be enforced. This is official from
President Roosevelt down to the least i'm
portant of government jobs. Naturally
there won't be the same tactics that prohibit
ton enforcement agents displayed in past
years. In the first place the Roosevelt ad-
ministration is not disposed to spend the
money on the noble experiment that pre-
decessors were. And that's to be praised.

Washington, - You can't over
estimate the Importance OF the Chi
cago milk agreement and the
court fight over Its constitutional
ty.
Uncle Sam for the first time
freezes prices and guarantees
profits, compelling dealers to buy
milk at a fixed price and sell 1t
at fixed price.
Consumers of 25 per cent Of
milk sol din the Chicago area must
pay 10 cents instead of 6 IL cents
quart If the agreement stands,
adm most of the independent cut
price dealers are expected to be
wiped out.
That's a sample Of what can be
done under the licensing provisions
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act and the National Industrial
Recovery Act Similar milk
agreements are planned for other
large cities.
Big Companies Dominate
Background: About Is per
cent of Chicago milk is handled
by five or six large companies in
the Chicago Milk Dealers Associa-
ton, sometimes called the milk
trust" THAT group buys from the
Pure Milk Association, cooper
alive controlling output Of about
$4,000 farmers.
Independents have bought from
1000 other farmers and secretly
from some coop members. Data
here indicates they paid the farm
ers as much or more than the
trust" though selling at IL as
against 9 cents. c. M. d. A. and
p. M. A. provide efficient, exepns-
i've service whereas independents
sell over the counter. The agree
ment forces independent dealers
and producers into c. M. d. A. and
P. M. A.
Supply Was Increased
All was fairly well until 1882
when farmers losing markets for
other products began to pour In
additional milk. Consumers, hard
up, welcomed cut prices. The or
ganized industry had to undercut,
so coop farmers got less. If the
situation had continued the excel
lent distributing system and the
coop probably would have been
shot to pieces.
All cost data will be furnished

work out scientific basis for
costs and prices.

alleged defalcations. Even Mayor
Hoan, socialist executive who has
been repeatedly reelected to Office
faces a recall election.
The situation offers no occasion
for glee in cities which now find
one more municipality to give them
company in their misery. Rather
does the turn of events again prove
that any system of city government
is'only as good as the character Of
its officials causes it to be. The
public Largely relies on their judg-
ment until events show that its
confidence is misplaced when it is
often too late to prevent much
mismanagement which is already
in the record.
Instead Of pointing to this or
that city as being the ideal, citizens
would get more definitely good re-
suits from paying close attention
to the selection of their candidates
right at home. A capable, honest
official will give good service I'M
der any system-he will change it
If necessary-and no system, how
ever plausible on paper, will be

on unless it is supplemented" with
the right personnel. This is not
nearly as despairipg a problem as
the wrecks along the way would
make it appear if-only each citizen
does his part in seeing to 1t that
the city government is placed in
the right hands.

MILK TROUBLES OVER A WIDE
AREA
New Britain Herald,

Governor Cross faces stiff
problem as the milk situation
threatens trouble. The independent
milk board Is not likely to give the
small fellow chance.
Milk ructions extend over a
wide expanse of territory and dis
figure quite few states. The under
lying reasons are quite similar
everywhere--a discomfort by the
farmers with the rules of markets
ing, including the methods Of dis
posing Of the surplus. The con-
tracts and methods usually are so
involved that all the laymen In
the cities understands Is that the
price of milk is more likely, to rise
than fall. Incidentally, II the pro-
ducers had no surplus there would
be no ructions.
Few industries have been more
protected, in sense, than milk
production. Though states cannot
set up tariff bars. in the case of
milk just az effective a method has
been devised through the require
ment that milk cannot be brought
into the state unless the dairies at
the point of origination meet with
the approval of the state health
code. This was supposed to pre-
vent flooding Of the local mar
ket with milk produced in faraway
areas. But though 1t brings spec
cies OF monopoly to the locals 1t
likewise has stimulated enormous
state oyerproduction In normal
years, and nothing except Q

Making Gangsters

A pretty severe indictment is brought
against American newspapers by Malcolm

and through that fiction made him into
reality
There is doubtless considerable truth in
this accusation. though it may be admitted
that the yellow journals had powerful ally
in the federal prohibition law which gave
the gangsters their big opportunity. Bred
in illicit liquor profits, the American city
tough grew into definite type of villain,
with character and code of his own. never
before known to American life. He was
helped greatly in developing and maintaining
this character by the tendency of newspaper
reporters to portray him as hero.

of blame. The film profession has its vel

yellow papers in creating this fantastic hero.

the vogue to cite Milwaukee as an
exemplary city as regards efficient,

side agencies showed that its crime
record was uncommonly favorable.
The tax rate was low and public
improvements were being kept up
to date. 1t had almost no bonded

such ample returns for the taxpay-

Rome (UP)-The Duce is now
a patron of poetry and Romagna,
the Duce's native region, will hold
a Poetry Week" during the, sec
ond half of September on his sug-
gestion.
Mussolini often visits Romagna
and especially Forli-main city of
the province Of his hometown,
Predappio-usually for weekend
rests. But no matter how tired he
may be on arriving, the very first
thing he does is to take walk to
a favorite spot known as La Frat
ia. Here are to be found some old
Roman fonts. The hubby. icey-
cold water is the finest in Ro-
magma.
Duce Praises Highly
Recently wh*e talking to some
old friends in the GOODNESS Of the
Fratta fonts, the Duce alluded in
terms Of the highest praise to a
local institute named after the poet
Pascoli. Pascoli's Poems are very
popular in Romagna and readings
of them are regularly promoted by
this institute.
Mussolini told his friends that
a week should be set apart every
year to celebrate those poets his
torically linked with this fiery
region. These poets are three,
Dante, Carducci and Pascon. Dante
lived and wrote in Romagna dur
ing his exile. His mortal remains
are buried here.
Suggestion Adopted
No sooner had the premier left
for Rome than his suggestion was
given form. It was Immediately
taken up by the Confederation of
Professional Men and Artists and
by the two Fascist Provincial Fed
reations. The celebrations will be
held at Ravenna, Dante's burial
place, at Polenta, Carduccis home
and at San Mauro, the native place
of Pascoli.
This latest initiative will en-
brace the existing yearly celebra-
ton of Carducci held at Polenta
and the readings Of Pascoli's
poems. A third celebration in
honor Of Dante has been added 80

bration consisting OF pilgrimages to

MIR BINGHAM IN SALEM

Ex-senator Bingham's announce
ment that with his retirement to
Salem, where his former country
residence will now become his per-
manent home, he is, definitely out
of politics, will be taken Of course
with a grain of salt. No public man
can be counted as permanently out
of politics until the tomb has
closed over him. In Mr. Bingham's
case a habit of lifelong activity
and never-ending interest in all
public questions will not be quelled
by one reverse at the polls.
However politics has ceased in
Mr. Bingham's case to a certain ex-
tent. In a public address the other
day he took occasion to praise
President Roosevelt, to state that
the President has made remark
able progress thus far and deserves
the support of all Americans who
put the welfare Of their nation
above partisanship, or pride OF per-
sonal opinion.
That speech would have been
difficult for Mr. Bingham If he were
Senator Bingham. However we
have always wondered II our pub
lie men in general would not get
along better If they were prepared
to admit that the opposition might
be right occasionally, and were not
eternally on the lookout for OPP
portunities to indulge in a little
sharpshooting.

not so very different from others he has

make good substitute for lioa-hunting.
