Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-An
enormous fund of from four to six
billions of dollars for public projects,
is the demand of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor presented to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by William Green,
president, and other American FEEDER
alton of Labor leaders.
Secretary of Labor Perkins, who
accompanied the labor delegation to
the white house, later, in her own
press conference, expressed the opin-
ion that the amount is not too large.
She further said that while a COM
plete public works program requires
time for planning, nevertheless works
running to two or three billion dol.
lars could be got into action in .
month or two.
The secretary has definite ideas
about public works. She indicated
the preference is for public works
that "raise the standard of living" as
against monumental buildings. AS
examples of work that lifts the stand
ard of living she cited construction of
low-cost housing, of which she holds
there has never been enough. An
other example she cited was the
erecting of poles to carry electric
light and telephone wires in districts
so sparsely settled as to make indi-
vidual payment for such poles pro-
hibitive.
Room for Improvement
Secretary Perkins cited number
of directions in which living stand
ards might be improved. She pointed
to the low proportion of bath tubs in
America, contrary to the prevailing
notion. She said 60 per cent of viii
lagos have no sewerage systems.
These were pointed to as further types
of work that might be done, bringing
better living standards as well as pro-
viding work. She said an estimate
had been given her to show that it
would require ten years of full speed
operation by every plumbing manu-
facturer in America to equip all
American homes with bathtubs and
other plumbing.
Minimum Pay Held Vital
Minimum wages are regarded as
vital by the secretary. Fixing q
bottom is a matter of extreme impor-
tance," she said. "How it should be
done | don't know" However, her
own suggestions have been offered, in

Government in Industry
Called Form of Communism

Oxford, Eng.--Extensive govern
ment intervention in the organization
of industry was condemned as ''com-
munism of the right" by Mr.. Ramsey
Muir, professor and economist, in an
address here before the University
Liberal Societies. He said Great
Britain was threatened with "commu-
nism of the left" If he had to choose
between them he would prefer "com-
munism of the left" but he was con-
vinced that either would be disastrous.

graceful" declares the Illinois State
Federation of Labor Weekly News
Letter.
persons of limited means who are
obliged to make their purchases In
small amounts are being compelled
to pay tax of twenty per cent or
even more.
"In many places throughout the
state a one-cent alleged tax is being
collected by merchants on five-cent
purchase. A ten-cent loaf of bread,
likewise, calls for the payment of a
cent additional.
"Thus the working people of Illi-
nois are being required to pay far in
excess Of the three per cent provided
by law. Who gets the money? That's
not the main point.
"The tax is three per cent, not ten
per cent or twenty per cent. And no
one-not even the state itself--has
any legal right to collect or to re-
ceive more than three per cent as
sales tax. That is the law.
''The collection of more than three
per cent is violation of law and is
criminal in that it amounts to obtain
ing money under false pretenses. The
practice calls for drastic action on
the part of the state administration
without delay"

By B. C. CLARKE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Th in
dustrial population of the nation ap-
parently stands on the eve of one
of its greatest and most momenous
victories-the enactment by congress
of the 30-hour week as standard and
basic in factory operation where prod
ucts are shipped in interstate COM
merce. The senate has already pass
ed the bill, introduced by Senator
Black, of Alabama, and the house
gives indication of early favorable
action.
This sweeping forward step in in
dustrial progress has been favored
and urged by both the spokesman of
organized labor and great business
leaders of the country as sharp and
immediate step toward economic re-
covery and relief of archaeological un-
employment.
Strangely enough, the very pros
poets Of early success of this bill has
brought forward an alien stepchild as
a substitute, and sponsored by Sec
retary of Labor Frances Perkins, but
with no indication that this substi-
tute is of her own invention and han
diwork. Rather, it is attributed to
Dr. Harold Moulton, of the Brookings
Institution; Frederick A. Delano, a
former member of the Federal Re-
serve Board and an official of the
Carnegie Peace Foundations; Dr.
| Meyer Jacobstein, a former member
of congress, and the college profess
sors who constitute the so-called
brain trust" among President Roose-
velt's advisers. The bill has the
backing of the administration.
| The Perkins measure would estab-
lish an elaborate governmental bu-
reau around herself, and confer upon
| her economic powers of dictatorship
! such as have never before been vested
in one individual to fix minimum
wages, restrict hours of factory oper-
alton or close them altogether, to
control production and shipments in
interstate commerce, and to name the
members of boards in each industry
whose functions would be supreme
and enjoy the full force and effect OF
law.
Under this bill collective bargain.
ing could disappear and the right OF
the workers to organize might be
minimized. The functions of labor
unions would be largely absorbed il
the new governmental dictatorship
Factory owners shipping in interstate
commerce who violated any of the
edicts would be subject to fine ant
possible Imprisonment, and each day
would constitute separate offense.
i Factories and plants which do no
ship in interstate commerce woult
not be subject to the provisions of tn,
federal control, but free if not other
wise prevented to operate for 60 O
70 hours week, and to disregard th
fixed wages of the federal control.
Another or twin-sister measure 0
the Perkins bill is in the offng, an
will probably come forward in tn
near future. Likewise, it is prod

Rev. Franklyn Cole Sherman, rector of

on social issues and spiritual healing.
Rev. Mr. Sherman. who is founder

through a policy of recommending for
confirmation only those who professed
belief in spiritual healing and the So

For IS years I have been preaching
and lecturing on religion and health in

America he said IF I and others
are wrong, if the principle of spiritual
healing is not true then we should be
officially condemned as heretics. The
time has come when We would welcome
