with Ivy. See If you can, do any
thing with her. Of course she mustn't
know that I'm Pats wife. But
see If you can't get her to do what
you want-to stay away from Pat.
And meanwhile I'll go to Pat right
now. I'll tell him that if he contin-

the whole campus. That will spike
his guns. Don't you see that's the
sensible thing?"

POSES
REMEDIES

Johr
Dewey, as president of the Peoples
Lobby has filed with the Senate Fl
nance Committee, which is taking ties
timony from conservative witnesses as
to what should be done to get the
country back on its economic feet, q
statement of the causes of the col.
lapse and nine measures leading to
ward recovery.
Speculation, low wages, mechaniza.
ton in haste, tariff barriers, and pre-
datory banking policies, are among
the causes for the depression, accord
ing to Dewey.
Measures of immediate value, he
declares, would be:
1. Appropriation of $1,000, 100000
by Congress for direct relief, to bt
discussed under the agency created
by the Costigan-LaFollette bill, which
includes distressed farmers.
2. The Wagner amendments to the
reconstruction Finance law, liberaliz.
ing the rules under which loans cai
be made for work.
8. Federal credit for a big program
of public works.
A. Drastic redistribution Of nation
al income in order to increase con
sumption, and sharp upward revision
of income and estate taxes in the
higher brackets.
5. Refunding the federal debt at {
much lower rate.
6. Writing down the principal Of
non-government debts to conform tC
the increased purchasing power of the
dollar, and reducing the rate Of inter
est thereon.
7. Creation of a government mar
keting corporation empowered to pur
chase farm products, process them
and sell them direct to consumers.
8. Shortening the work-week to 81
hours.
8. Federal control Of development
of natural resources, such as the pro
duction and distribution of electrica
energy.
Dewey remarked, in his letter, tina
several of the men invited by Sen. Har
rison to testify, were among thos'
who brought on the economic disas

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Responsi-
bility for the economic crisis-"terri-
flying and of unprecedented urgency
was definitely fixed by Father
John A. Ryan, director of the depart
ment of social action of the National
Catholic Welfare Council, in an adj
dress here last week before a Catho-
lie conference ON industrial problems.
The two-day meeting, sponsored by
Cardinal Hayes, was attended by
clergymen, industrial and labor lead
ers, economists and so~ciologists.
In an address remarkable for its
frankness, Father Ryan asserted that
the existing situation is due to:
"The GREED of the few who still
enjoy an abundance of comforts.
"The TIMIDITY of the many
who have never learned to think
courageously because our mechan-
zeal civilization has given them the
endowment of a slave mind.
"The COWARDICE of those who
occupy positions of leadership in
politics, business and journalism"
Quick Action Needed.
Voicing the hope that "God may
give these groups the light to see that
the time for action is Short" Father
Ryan stressed the suffering of mil
lions of people facing slow starvation
farm and home foreclosures, and the
decline of educational facilities until
"seven million children are deprived
Of the essentials"
He referred to the threatened re-
volt of farmers and to a recent dec
laration by President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
that unless relief is given the work
ers would "scon be on the march"
Father Ryan insisted that the only
way to bring about recovery is tc
launch a large public works program
financed by a six or eight-billion dol
lar bond issue. He questioned whether
the present official Democratic lead
ership in Congress would have the
vision or courage to carry out this
program" but hoped it would receive
support from President-elect Roose-
welt.

DUMB AS EVER, ONLY MORE so
By ADAM ~COALDIGGER

The Chicago Tribune, the worlds
dumbest newspaper, is running a SER
les of articles on Russia written by
two American ladies'. According to
their story, things in that far-off
country are simply awful. Dirt, filth,
bed-bugs, poor food, and dissatisfac-
ton abounds. The roads are impassi-
BILE (Oh, yes, the two ladies "smug-
gled" themselves in a Ford car into
Russia). And they were so enthu-
siastic about the noble experiment.
But no more. They are cured. And
the cure is feelingly described in the
columns of the Chicago Tribune, which
makes the Tribune very happy. For
the Tribune is the dauntless cham
pion of the economic order which
made Chicago what it is today. a
hope it's satisfied"

WASHINGTON-(FP)-It is now
evident that the lame duck session of
Congress will end without taking any
action on Sen. Blacks 30-hour work

~turers, before the Norris-Black sub
committee of the Senate Judiciary

gave a hint Of the battle which is to

Safety Laws of Nevada.
Under the guise of operating a COM
missary, the Six Companies, Inc,
Senator Oddie points out, has organ
lied the Boulder City Company, a sub
sidiary, to operate its large depart
ment store. The Six Companies, Inc,
is issuing paper and coin scrip between
regular pay days which labor is forced
to receive in payment Of wages re-
deemable only in merchandise at the
company departments store. The
workers are forced to peddle the scrip
in Boulder City and Los Vegas, where
it brings only rs to 80 cents on the
dollar.
This practice is vicious, Senator
Oddie declared, and is a pernicious
form of labor Sweating" resulting in
a reduction in the payment of wages
between pay days of from 20 to 25
per cent and should be Immediately
discontinued.

WASHINGTON.-Charging the Six
Companies, Inc, the contractor which
is constructing the preliminary works
at Hoover Dam with evading the mine
safety laws of Nevada and with BUSH
ness monopoly at Boulder City and
the exploitation and sweating" of
labor, Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Ne
vada launched an attack in the Sen
ate on the officials of this company
and the Secretary of the Interior, de-
handing an immediate investigation
of these deplorable conditions.
Senator Oddie pointed out that dur
ing the period of eight months Of con-
struction prior to November Is, 1881,
when the Nevada Mine Safety Laws
were enforced, only three fatal and
121 non-fatal accidents occurred, while
% fatal and 756 non-fatal accidents
have occurred during the IA months
since the order was issued by the Fed
eral District Court preventing the
State Mine Inspector from enforcing
the laws.
Over seven times the number OF
fatal and six times the number of
n~on-fatal accidents have taken
place since the Six Companies, Inc,
has been able to introduce cheaper
methods of construction and thus
profit at the expense of the life,
safety and health of the workers in
its employ.

is not approaching; it is here, already
under way in the United States, Sen.
Borah told the Senate, Feb. Ia, while
pleading for prompt action on the
bankruptcy bill with its voluntary
debt-scaling plan for farmers.
The Idaho senator was opposing the
demand of Sen. Blaine of Wisconsin
that the proposed constitutional
amendment repeating prohibition be
taken up and made the unfinished
business until disposed Of. Borah
declared that the farmers in the west
who had banded together and prevent
ed foreclosure of mortgages on their
homes were in fact carrying on a rev.
olution. He wanted Congress to deal
exclusively with the problems Of mort
gage debt and low prices until definite
relief was achieved.
Lewis of Illinois told Borah hat
they would both be dead before the
voluntary debt-scaling scheme con-
tanned in the bankruptcy bill, as re-
ported from the Senate Judiciary
Committee Feb. 10, gave relief to the
majority of debt-burdened farmers,
Creditors, he said, would not volun-
tarily surrender their claims.
The Senate Committee wrote into
the bankruptcy measure the "debt
composition plan advocated by the
national farm organizations and in
troduced as a bill by Robinson of Ar
kansas. 1t provides for a system Of
Cancellation commissioners, who shall
have no power to arrange meetings
| between debtor farmers and their
creditors for the purpose Of voluntary
| agreement as to extension of time fol
payment, or for "composition"-which
means scaling down-of the debt. The
agreement is then to be confirmed by
the court, if the court is satisfied that
~ it includes an equitable and feas-
ible method of liquidation for secured
creditors and Of financial ~rehabilita.
ton for the farmer; ~ it is for the
best interests of all creditors; and 81
the offer and its accetance are in gooc
faith"
There is no clause in the bill which
has compulsory power on the mort.
gage-holder, except the clause which
authorizes a majority of the creditors
holding a majority of the secured debt
to make an agreement with the farm
er which binds all creditors. 1t was
this lack of an actual grasp on thu
problem of freeing the farmers from
their debts which caused Lewis to tel
Borah that he found no relief fol
farmers in the bankruptcy measure
Lewis considered the idea that bank
ers and Insurance company manager!
and other creditors would forgive
farmers any effective part Of theil
debts, to be ridiculous.

EMPLOYMENT IN

STEPHEN ELY
Estate Director of Employment.)

GENERAL.-Little if any improve
ment occurred in employment during
January, with an oversupply of labor
evident throughout the state. While
coal-mining operations were slightly
reduced, forces were not curtailed.
Activity in the lumber industry was
at a low level. Railroad employment
was further restricted. Limited OPP
erations prevailed in the meat-packing
plants, oil ~refineries, steel foundries,
machine shops, and other establish
ments. Metalliferous mining and
smelling activities were slightly in
creased and more than 300 men were
recalled to work. A flour mill at
Malta and one at Harlowton resumed
capacity operations and employed ap-
proximately 100 men. Approximately
1000 laborers were engaged on main
tenance and highway construction de-
spite unfavorable weather. Some OF
the beet-sugar plants continued to pro-
vide work for a large number OF men,
While Federal projects gave employ
ment to quite a number of craftsmen,
very little commercial or private
building was reported.
BILLINGS.-While the b~eet-sugaf
plants operated at capacity, the flour
mills, oil r~efineries, meat-packing
plants, and other establishments
worked part time. Sheep and cattle
feeding gave work to quite a number
of men. Building included a post Of
flee addition, several residences, ano
repairs. An excess of practically al
classes of workers obtained.

Plant.
Especial Correspondence

DETROIT, Feb. pa rebellion
against wage-cutting and the insti-
tuition of vicious "open shop" practices
appears to be gathering momentum
in the automobile industry.
Three companies now have strikes
on their hands, and in other plants
there is a seething discomfort that
may bring more walkouts unless con-
ditions are speedily remedied.
The mammoth plant of the Hudson
Motor Car Company was closed Tues
day by a walkout of its workers, add
ing about 5000 men to approximately
the same number who had struck the
week before at the Briggs Automobile
Body Manufacturing Company.
Workers Claims Upheld.
At Grand Rapids, the strike at the
Hayes Body Corporation is now in its
third week.
In all instances the strikes are an
effort to force the bosses to restore
pay rates which have been slashed to
the bone. The Hayes company cut
wages 20 cents an hour, Briggs had
some workers not drawing more than
7 cents, and similar conditions pre-
vailed in the Hudson factories.
The "fact-finding committee" APP
pointed by Mayor Frank Murphy of
Detroit has made its report on the
Briggs controversy, unfolding the
strikers contention that conditions in
the plant were "intolerable."
Efforts of the mayor to settle the
walkout are not meeting with much
success. The Briggs management is
standing by its "hard-boiled attitude"
of refusing to meet a strikers COM
mittee, and is trying to operate with
strikebreakers.
"Reds" Making Hay.
A conciliator from the U. S. De-
partment of Labor is attempting TO
adjust the Hudson strike. The man
agement is less tough" there and a
conference has been arranged between
the strike committee and Max F. Wool
lering, vice-president of the firm.
The strikers are not organized. The
communists have been quick to take
advantage of the situation and are ac-
tive among the men. The employers
are giving wide publicity to this and
are trying to kill off the strikes by ad-
vertising them as "red disturbances
However, trade union officials who
have no sympathy with the commun-
lists point out that conditions created
by the employers brought on the walk
outs and gave the "reds" a made-to-
order opportunity to preach the doc
trine that American employers are
trying to institute industrial slav-
cry"
