Appeal Is Made.

WASHINGTON-(F. P.)-W a VI
and John Musuronchan, brought into
the county Jail at Williston, N. D.,
Nov. 20, en- route from Scobey, Mont,
to be deported from New York, wrote
a letter to Representative Scott Lea
witt of Montana at Washington, ask
ing him to take up their case. Lea
witt received their letter Dec. 3-one
day later than letters from Montana,
farther west, normally reach the cap
ital. A copy of the same letter
reached the Federated Press in Wash
ington Dec. Ga matter of four days
late. Who held up these letters, and
why, has not been determined. But
the two brothers were deported from
New York Dec. 5-before any steps
for their defense could be taken by
anyone but the Old Guard Congress-
man to whom they had stated their
case.
In their letter to Leavitt, the Musu-
ronchan brothers explained that they
were brought to Alberta, Canada, by
their parents when Wasyl was one
year old and John was four. The fam
lily broke up, the father going to Mon
tana, where he became an American
citizen. After the death of their
mother, the father sent for the two
boys, who entered the United States
when IS and II years of age. They
earned their own living, and neither
knew that he could not legally remain

'CO-OPS BEAT
CHAIN
SAYS COOLEY

NEW YORK-(F.P.)-"Can con-
sumers' cooperative stores compete
with chain stores, is the question that
| am most often asked by members
of the labor movement" said Oscar
Cooley, secretary of the Cooperative
League, in an interview with Federat-
ed Press. Cooley has just returned
from a months tour among co-opera-
tives in the middle and northwest
states.
"They can, because they do. There
are chain stores everywhere, so wher-
even you find a cooperative store you
find it in competition with chains. l
can think of but three failures of CO.

years, and one was caused by compe-
tition so much as by inertia and care
lessness on the part of the members,

ayers.
"Of the 101 store societies affiliated
with the Central Cooperative Whole
sale of Superior, Wis, none has failed
because of chain store competition;
the movement is steadily growing. In
Cloquet, Mimi, so great is the popu-
larity of the cooperative that all but
two of the chains have been driven out
of town. Those who question the abil-
ity of cooperative stores to compete

Observation-Disclosures labor in
the United States will strike if neces-
sary to secure the nationwide adop-
ton of the 3O-hour week.
This emphatic declaration, pregnant
with meaning, was made by William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who appeared as the
first witness before the Senate judi
ciary subcommittee on the bill spon-
sored by Senator Hugo L. Black of
Alabama to establish the five-day
week and six-hour day in all indus
tries engaged in interstate commerce.
Mr.. Green said he was so thorough
ly convinced Of the necessity of the
shorter work day and work week in
order to provide jobs for the millions
of unemployed that eve are prepared
to support a plan to bring it about
and establish it either through legis-
lative enactment, through persuasion
of those who are willing and ready to
yield to the facts Of the situation, or
to exercise u economic force in COM
polling employers to apply the six
hour day and five-day week."
"How would you exercise your eco
.o~.so fo.oo 20 oopopol 4boV, 70 do tba4
without any law being passed." asked
Senator Norris, chairman Of the SUBJ
committee.
"By calling strikes where the men
are organized and thus withhold the
services of those who are employed
until industry establishes the shorter
work day and work week." Green re-
piled.
Senator Norris said he hated to be-
lieve that it would be necessary to re-
sort to the strike to secur shorter
hours.
Labor's Strength Is Economic Force.
''The only way that organized la
Dor has secured increases in wages
and improved conditions of employ
ment is through the exercise of their
economic strength" Green replied.
"We shrink to think it will be neces-
sary to take such steps, particularly
during such a period Of widespread
unemployment as now prevails
throughout the nation. But industrial
employers refuse to take action. They
refuse to accept the facts. There are
some who have shown a very broad
attitude toward this whole problem
and have voluntarily applied the five
day week, but they are so isolated
that the establishment of the shorter

work week in a few industries has no
effect upon the general situation.
eve are terribly in earnest about
this. The economic situation has
reached a serious point and we can
not go along on the old basis. We
cannot tolerate the situation as it now
exists. If employers of labor, who
own and control industry, refuse to
yield to the facts of the situation,
then what must we do?"
Mr.. Green did not mince words in
telling the subcommittee what organ
lied labor must and would do in case
employers persisted in their refusal
to establish the 30-hour week.
Organized labor would mobilize it's
economic force and strike.
Work for Jobless Necessary.
II am firmly convinced that the
shorter work day and work week must
be applied in industry generally and
universally if we are to create work
opportunities for the millions of work.
ers who are idle and willing and
anxious to work." Mr.. Green said.
Abolish Old Hours Standard.
Industry has become so highly
mechanical that it is utterly and alb
solutely impossible to provide work
or work opportunities at the old stand
ards Of hours, work week, and work
day.
eve are face to face with the in
evitable fact that adjustments must
be made in the working period and
working time, or we must settle down
and prepare to accept an economic
condition which will create and es-
tablish and maintain a permanent
standing army of unemployed.
"This is my honest conclusion as
the result of a study Of the industrial
n economic situation.
Millions Jobless Before 1929.
'The facts are that prior to 1929
and during that period there were
many millions out of work because
they had been displaced by the intro
duction of machinery, and even though
we were at the peak of production it
would be impossible for industry to
absorb those displaced by the intro
duction of mechanical devices and ma
chinery."
Mr.. Green told the subcommittee
that he would prefer to see the six
hour day and five-day week accom-
plished by Legislative enactment, but
if that were not done, organized la
Dor would have no other alternative
than the mobilization of it's economic
force to achieve this object.

FACTS BY
GROUP ARE VALUABLE
By NORMAN THOMAS.

WHAT should Socialists think about
w Technocracy and what is the rela-
ton Of democracy to Socialism?
This is the kind of question which
comes to me by mail and word Of
mouth from almost everybody who
reads anything more intelligent than
the Saturday Evening Post. 1t is
hard to say definitely just what the
group which calls itself the Tech
nocracy group does propose.
It's members are going slowly. They
have, l am told, repudiated the ar
ticles by Wayne Parrish of the New
Outlook, especially the second article,
as authoritative statements of their
position. The articles are rather the
somewhat exuberant and perhaps in
some cases premature utterances o.
an interpreter and disciple. Actually
the group itself so far has confined
itself to its main purpose, namely, an
examination of the energy resources
of America. In this connection they
have collected an amazing and start
ling amount of information on tech
nical progress.
Generally Known.
What we all knew in a general way
they have made specific and vivid by
telling us just how many electric
light bulbs a machine can turn out,
how rayon can be made without hui
man hands, etc, etc. Beyond that
they have not gone except that they
have called attention, very usefully,
to the immense weight of debt under
which we stagger. This also has been
done before not only by Socialists but
by Lawrence Dennis in his brilliant
book, as Capitalism Doomed? Some
members Of the Technocracy group or
their interpreters are very high-hat
toward both Socialism and Commu-
nism without giving any adequate
reason for their attitude. Their own
program they have not yet formu-
lated, at least in detail, even to them
selves and certainly not to the public.

BILLIONS FOR
DIVIDENDS AS
WAGES SLUMP

Editors Note: Because of the sensa-
ton caused by recent articles by DR..
Scott Nearing and DR.. Colston b.
Warne, writers for this publication and
Federated Press, in which the great
growth of dividends and interest was
pointed out, DR.. Warne has prepared
the following detailed account Of what
is happening to the pockets of the rich)
AMHERST, MA S.-(F.P.)-The
flow of money into the Golfers of
those who own stocks, bonds and other
evidences of debt has been increasing
at a steady pace and reached a peak in
1880. This is shown by figures COM
piled by the Journal of Commerce, a
conservative Wall Street publication,
and accepted and published by the
U. S. Department of Commerce.
The total interest and dividends paid
during the first ten months Of 1882
is reported as $6,O30,0 00, 900, as
against a total for the whole Of 1928
of $6,O2S, O0O,0 0O. While dividend and
interest payments are certain to be
well above the 1928 figure when the
last two months totals have been
added, wages have fallen more than
half. In each Ease the figures repre-
sent actual money totals, with no re-
lation to percentage, and no adjust
ments Of any kind.
Going back further, the total divi-
dend and interest payments are near
ly five times as large as in 1918; they
are more than twice the level of 1928;
in this year of staggering depres-
sion they are well above the average
of the preceding 10 years. In no two

Campaign Urged By Chief of Texas Livestock San.
 itary Commission

Fort Worth, Tex. (UP).-A dairy cattle reduction campaign, similar to that carried on by the federal government for hogs. cotton and wheat, has been suggested to Sec retary of Agriculture Wallace by pr. Lewis G. Crabb, chief veter- marian of the Texas livestock sani- tary commission.
 Crabb proposes slaughter. or disposal in some manner, of all diseased dairy cattle and all which do not give sufficient milk to re- turn a profit in normal times
 He suggested fin his plan, which be forwarded to Secretary Wal lace, that a thorough test be car- ried on throughout the United States of the health of cattle. This test, he suggested. could be made by the country's numerous agri- cultural agencies at a small cost. ].
 Such 8 test, he said. would show that there are approximately 5,000,000 dairy cows in the United States which should be eliminated because of disease. or due to their unprofitableness as milk produc- ore

No more excuses for emitting meats fro mthe menu on the ground that 'tis better to abstain from hearty foods during warm weather. That pet alibi of the housewife is quite in the distance. Men are beginning to long for real meat again. By which they mean broils and roasts and regouts in exchange for nasty frys and cold meat assortments
 What can we give them that will still their cravings? What better than a fine thick slice of ham suothered with succulent but tered broccoli? Prepared in this way, the ham recipe is easy and not expensive:

 slice raw mutton
 1-2 tablespoon butter
 salt, cayenne
 tablespoon currant jelly
 1-4 cup Madeira or Port
 (coOking wine)
 Fry the mutton for few min- utes in the hot butter. season with salt and cayenne, then add the cur rant jelly and wine. Simmer a few minutes more and serve.
 This dish is a novelty that ap- peals particularly to men. who, contrary to common opinion, relish something different now and then.
