SERVICE BANDS
Radio Playing Ban HOtly
Debated

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-The
order of the secretary of the navy
prohibiting the navy and marine bands
from playing at radio concrets caused
lively controversy in the house.
Representative Britten, of Illinois,
declared that the concerts do not
compete with mucic by commercial
musicians, and that the people should
have an opportunity to hear the serv-
ice bands. The concerts are at time
when music would not otherwise be
played, he said, so the element of
competition is avoided.
Representative LaGuardia, of New
York, pointed out the service bands
actually do compete with commercial
musicians, of whom thousands are un-
employed.
"We are at stage of unemploy-
ment where we dare not permit it to
increase or to continue" he said, sup
porting the action of the secretary
of the navy.
Other members joined in the de-
bate. There was no house action on
the matter.

striking tremendous blow at the
Morgan financial power over banks
and consequently over the industries
to which those commercial banks
make loans. The Morgan house would
be deprived of its deposit business
unless it abandoned it's securities
deals, and unless it agreed to make
public such information as CONNER
cial banks are compelled to make
public, which it does not now have
to do.
Indictment Now Confirmed
Frey, after more than q year of
patient and careful work, went be-
fore the senate committee with evil
dence that has not been impeached in
the slightest detail. He took to the
committee an astounding accumula-
ton of evidence showing the tre-
mendous extent to which the great
private banking houses of New York
dominate American industry and die
tate industrys policies, including
wage policies. 1t was such an in
dictmcnt as has seldom been offered
in relation to American industrial
and financial affairs. He attacked a
colossus. Aldrich, one of the most
potent and powerful figures in that
indicted financial machine, has now
agreed to the indictment by Offering
proposals for it's undoing.
Out of the New York banking COM
bination assailed by Frey has come
the lead and the direction in the
great wage reduction campaign.
This machine could dictate policies
because Of its intcrlocking control
and that is what it has done. Aldrich
leaves one loophole. He does not
propose that commercial banks shall
withdraw their directors from COM
mercial enterprises. Aside from that,
his sweeping admissions agree to the
Frey Indictment, point by point. Frey,
secretary-treasurer of the metal
trades department, has scored tre-
mendous and outstanding victory in
the Aldrich admissions, because AL
drich is one of the commanders of
the banking world.

Washington. - Complete co-opera-

Grafton of Labor to President Roose-
velt in the national emergency caus-
ed by the breakdown of the banks
was pledged by William Green, pres
ident of the federation, in a state
ment dealing with the rights of the
workers under conditions arising from
the banking chaos.
Pointing out that under the collapse
of our financial institutions the work
ing people, already bearing the ma
jor burden of the depression, will
suffer most, Mr.. Green militantly de-
clared that the savings of the masses
deposited in the banks should come
under the protection of the govern

rise under inflated currency employ
ers must increase wages SO that liv-
ing standards shall be protected.
Mr. Green's statement follows:
IF currency imitation arises otu Of
the collapse of banks and their fail
ure to function in crises, labor will
demand that wages shall increase in
an amount corresponding to an in
crease in commodity prices which
must inevitably follow.
"No improvement in the distressing
conditions could be hoped for or ex-

labor would remain standardized while

HIGHER WAGES
To Be Demanded II Prices
Increase, Says Green

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-In the
event commodity prices increase be-
cause of currency imitation, wage in
creases must inevitably follow, Presi-
dent Green, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, declared this week.
He said:
"If currency imitation arises out of
the collapse of banks and their failure
to function in a crisis, labor will de-
mand that wages shall increase in an
amount corresponding to an increase
in commodity prices which must in
evitably follow. No Improvement in
the distressing conditions could be
hoped for or expected if, through
some form of currency imitation, the
buying power of labor would remain
standardized while commodity prices
increased. The purchasing power of
the masses of the people must keep
pace with whatever increase in COM
modify prices may occur.
"The closing of banks and the col
lapse of the nations financial institu-
tions will add to the distress of la
Dor. Working men and women will
suffer most. The intense seriousness
of the situation, however, calls for a
continuation of self-imposed restraint
and discipline and the exhibition of
that character of courage and pa
tience on the part of labor which has
thus far characterized their conduct
under the most trying experience.
Legislative Action Demanded
Labor is willing, anxious and
ready to aid in bringing about eco
nomic recovery. 1t must do its part in
the great emergency through which
the nation is now passing. No good
purpose will be served, but instead
great injury may be done if, at the

Big Financier Confirms
Labor's Banking Expose
Head Of Worlds Largest Commercial Bank Dramatically
Vindicates John P. Frey's Sensational Charges By
Offering Plan to Abolish Evils Barred By Labor
Representative.

New York City (ILNS)-Smashing
confirmation of every charge made
by John P. Frey, representing la
Dor, in his detailed and voluminous
attack on banking domination of in
dustry has just come from Winthrop
w. Aldrch, chairman of the govern
ing board and president of the Chase
National Bank, the largest CONNER
cial bank in the world.
Seldom has such complete vindiva-
tion of a labor charge come with
such dramatic swiftness and COM
pleteness.
Aldrich has just advanced plan

gests, almost point by point, abolish
ing the evil hook-ups and iron-clad
control exposed by Frey in his SEN
sational testimony before the senate
judiciary committee and later at
tackled by Senator Norris is the SEN
ate.
Aldrich would completely divorce
commercial banking and investment
banking, put a moose of restrictions
around the operation of such great
international bankers as J. P. Morgan
and others, and in general cut away
the lines that connect the two kinds
of banking in what has come to be
vast machine for milking American
industry and labor. He also would in
clude all commercial banks in the
Federal Reserve system.
Would Sever Alliances
Under the Aldrich plan the al
liances now existing between the
large private banking houses and the
commercial banks would be cut. He
announces that actual steps already
have been taken to cut the ties be-
tween the Chase National and the
Chase Harris Forbes Company, the
Chase Nationals agency for distri-
button of stocks and bonds. Aldrich
would prevent realing in bonds by
private banks which deal in securi-
ties.

one of the most striking elements in
the picture presented by Frey. The

OIL FIRMS
Head Urges High Pay To
Bring Revival

New York City ULNS) Organized
labor's contention taht buying and
consuming power could have been
maintained by the payment Of a
larger share Of profits to wages
during prosperity, was upheld by
j. Howard Pew, president of the Sun
Oil Company, in his annual report to
stockholders.
Payment of liberal wages and
making of improvements We're advo-
Gated by Pew to help improve gen.
prosperity. He said the Sun Oil Com
pany had maintained wages and con-
tinued liberal program of improve
ments, and that such policy was
justified by the financial report for
1882, showing larger net profits than
in the previous year.
"Even before the depression" Mr..
Pew said in his report, "it was plain
that continued prosperity demanded
the maintenance of broad-based
buying power such as could be as
sured only by general program of
liberal wages and salaries. Capitol
would still have had reasonable re-
ward and been available in adequate
supply to finance every requirement
of legitimate enterprise.
Higher Pay
Even when prosperity seemed
boundless, some people believed that
to distribute its fruits more literally
among salaries and wage-earning
workers would best insure the buying
and consuming power of the commu-
nifty.
"That would have been the best
guarantee against the breakdown
of consuming capacity which is
now the greatest obstacle to i'm
proved business.
Unfortunately, these considera-
tions were less Hospitality enter
tanned before 1929 than they have
been since. Nevertheless the COM
pany has continued it's program OF
liberal expenditures fo rself-liquidat-
ing Improvements, and has been able
to keep, with very few exceptions,
full corce of employees at work with
out reductions in compensation. Re-
suits have fully justified the effort to
avoid reductions in employment or
compensation.

1--WE believe that now is the time
when improvements may wisely be
undertaken; first, because they will
reduce costs; second, because never
within Is years could work be done
so inexpensively; third, because every

Asked whether she had any special
plans to relieve unemployment, Miss
Perkins said she had always advo-
Gated proper utilization of a public
works program as one method of
helping unemployment, not as a

panacea that can relieve all forms Of
unemployment"
Any stabilization program, she
said, would have to include a definite
improvement in standards of work

dents, in the establishment of a basic
minimum wage that would represent

A. F. Of L. Head Warns That Workers, Con-
vinced Controlling Interests Are Blocking
Constructive Program, Are Insistently De-
manding Direct, Immediate Action.

Mr.. Green declared that the out
standing problem before the nation is
unemployment. There can be no
hope for economic recovery" he said,
until the problem of unemployment
is solved and millions of unemployed
workers have been re-employed at de-
cent wages, fully corresponding with
the requirements of American life
and American standards of living.
This is the task which industrial
management must face.
Old Remedies Not Applicable
"Under our system of private own
ership the workers themselves can
not return until management re-em-
ploys them and until work opportun-
tiles are created for them. There can
be no hope and no future for the
automobile, automobile accessories
and luxury and amusement industries
until employment is overcome and
until wage levels are raised far above
the present low subsistence basis.
'In many respects the industrial
situation prevailing today is unprece-
dented. For that reason there can be
no tested rule APPLIED or precedent
followed. Old remedies which may
have proved helpful and constructive
heretofore are not applicable in the
present emergency. Urgent meas
ures, suitable to an acute economic
situation, must be utilized. Whatever
should be done in order to provide
idle workers with employment should
be done even though the action taken
does not conform to old methods or
standard formulas applied to previous
unemployment situations.
"The present situation calls for di-
rect, immediate action The clear call
of the moment is to industrial man.

and to initiate such policies as may
be necessary to provide employment
