WHISPERS!

In New York state for some wears
it has been crime to knowingly cir
culate a false report about the finan-
cial stability Of a bank. Recently
Governor Lehman approved an
amendment to this law extending its
provisions to cover false reports about
insurance companies.
This has been done to check. so
far as possible, the whispering epi-
demic which has been one of the most
dangerous features of the present
world depression. The whisper spreads
more rapidly than any fever or
scourge. Men who gather statistics
say that one maliciously uttered re-
mark can spread from single indi-
vidual to every person in city of
100000 in less than two hours. That
IS how runs on banks have been pre-

cipitated. The whisper plays no IA
vorites.
Often whisper has nothing more
malicious back of it than the habit
of individuals to pass along hints or
rumors that have been impaired to
them. However, this innocence of mo-
tive does not mitigate the effects of
the action. 1t must be stopped.
James A. Beha, general manager and
counsel of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
recently characterized the whisper
properly when he said:
"a whisper is like snake and
should be treated as such. We crush
the head of serpent, trample it un-
der our heel. We should do the same
thing to a whisper"

SOME RECORD, Ell?

From June /, 1882, to May l, 1888,
the total locel and international
benefits paid by the international
Photo -Engravers Union of North
America were 81, 2,428, ,44s.s6. The total
was made up of $2,105, ,39462 local
benefits and s319053.93 international
benefits. Of the local benefits, the
largest was S1,959,617.96 to aid un-
employed members. The largest item
in the international benefits was
s181 ,4O9.83 for strikes and lockouts.
The figures make a remarkable rec
ord, a record all the more remark
able when it is understood that the
international Photo -Engravers' Union
is composed of less than nine thou
sand journeymen, of whom 36.9 per
cent were unemployed, an additional
Ala per cent working but part time,
leaving but 21.7 per dent steadily
employed on a full time basis for the
last year, and that all of this money
was contributed from greatly reduced
earnings.

WHAT NEXT?

German steel fabricators are offer
ing a portable metal house which can
be completely erected in eight days.
The outer walls are made of two
plates, the inside one of steel with a
lincusta finish, the outside one of
copper. The four-inch space between
the walls is filled with laminations
of asbestos, which is claimed to have
great insulating properties, with the
result that the house requires the use
of only half the fuel needed to heat

SHORT WEEK
I'm May Would Have Put
Near Two Million
To Work

New York City (ILNS)-Applica-
tion last May of the 35-hour week IN
manufacturing plants and the 40-hour
week in n-manufacturing industry,
as provided for in the blanket code
under the national industrial recov-
cry act, would have added 1861, ,OOO
more workers to the number employ
ed in that month, the Nationl Indus
trial Conference Board, Inc, esti-
mates.
"The procedure used in determining
the figure" the board explains, as
sumes that the man hours worked IN
May would be maintained under the
suggested limitation of working
hours. There is abundant evidnece
that total man hours, particularly in
manufacturing industry, were consld-
erably more numerous in June than in
Nav. If June work had been re-
distributed by the suggested limita-
tion of hours it would have required
an even greater number of additional
workers, probably in the neighbor-
hood of 100000"
The board, in working out its esti-
mates based on May employment,
found that manufacturing industry
would have absorbed $4,000 addi-
tional workers in that field alone.
Similar calculations for -manufac-
turing pursuits developed the fact
that $4,000 more employees would
have been needed to perform the work
done in May.
Suggestive as these figures are"
the report concludes, "they do not
give a complete measure of possible
unemployment under limitation OF
hours. They do not attempt to fore
cast any increase in total man hours
nor do they include the entire list OF
employments subject to regulations
to be put into force under the ma
tional industrial recovery act"

CODES, GENTLEMEN, CODES

They come, one by one and in
droves, bringing CODES.
Codes are agreements - nothing
more.
These codes say in effect I'VE agree
with Uncle SAM" etc.
And what do they agree to, these
associations of business?
First, to ONE TREMENDOUS
NEW IDEA-that business of every
kind is NO LONGER THE SOLE
CONCERN OF THE MAN WHO
HAPPENS TO BE BOSS.
Let the enormous significance of
that single, simple fact have time to
work its way into the deep places of
thought.
An age has passed and an age
dawns.
Further, these men say, eve agree
with Uncle Sam (not with you and
me, but with Uncle Sam, that work
ers shall have the right to organize
and to bargain collectively without
any interference or coercion"
What a great new fact that is!
They come bearing codes of agree.
ment like that. What a day. What
an HOUR!
Uncle Sam has taken on a new
stature and new dignity. Uncle
Sam stands before the whole worlc
in a new role, garbed in new raj.
ment, his face alight with new in.
spiration and radiant with new
hope.
! Uncle Sam has handed to his peo.
pie new freedom and new kind ot
future. They can make that future
just as good as they are capable Of
making it. If THEY fail now the,
can blame only themselves-they car
not blame Uncle Sam.
He who, having freedom, will no
avail himself of its blessings, de
serves no sympathy.

FRIDAY, AUGUST IL, 1888
HITLER'S LATEST

Hitlerized Germany the other day
carried out nationwide search for
4'enemies of the state" that is de-
scribed as probably unique for its
vast extent. Promptly at noon every
person found in a railroad train any
where in Germany, and every person
in a vehicle in any principal high
way or city street was subjected to
search, both of persons and belong
ings. 1t was announced that the en-
tire search was carried through with
out incident, but the result was
somewhat disappointing. The vast
search revealed only few fugitives
from justice, persons carrying arms
without authorization, auto drivers
without proper licenses and little
forbidden literature"
The Hitler followers are still evi-
IDENTIFY doing their best to keep Ger
many in a state of alarm and hys-
terra. They are so impressed with
the sense of their own Importance
that they do not realize the ridicu-
lousness of their latest stunt" which
reminds one Of the celebrated exploit
of the king of France who marched
with 10000 troops up hill, and then
marched down again.

LIBERATING THE WORK ERS
FROM TOLL

The editor of the Washington Post
is greatly worried over the provision
in the law appropriating S3,300,000,-
900 for public works that human la
Dor instead of machinery shall be en-
ployed wherever practical. Echoing
the out-of-date views of the laissez-
faire economists, he goes into costa
cies over the substitution of iron
slaves for men and women in industry
and sings this theme song to the ma
chine:
THE machine has liberated millions
of human beings from toll. Human
labor is needed less and less as ma
chine production progresses. No one
can truthfully deny that machinery
has been a great boon to the tOilers
of the world, yet in period of dis
tress they turn from it as the source
of their difficulties"
This rhapsody about machinery
having liberated millions of human
beings from toll will not stand exam
ination. In fact, the only persons who
have secured freedom from toll by
the substitution of machinery for hu-
man workers in the production and
distribution of wealth are the few
who own and control the machine
So far as the workers are concerned
millions of them have lost their jobs
because the employers can get the
work done more cheaply by machin-
cry. A considerable portion of the
world army of 30,0O0,0O0 unemployed
workers whose feet now pound the
pavements in every country looking
for employment, are jobless solely
because those who own and control
industry have installed iron machines
to take their places.
Under production carried on solely
for the private profit of those who
own industry the workers receive

Sixty days, said General Johnson.
Sixty days for trial. Sixty days in
which to find out whether the recov-

Sixty days isn't very long. Let's
say ninety.
So, ninety days between the Amer
lean people and either good luck or
bad, life or death for the old eco
nomic order, jobs or no jobs for the
millions.
Ninety days for the life or finish
of the old order?
That sounds a bit foolish, for the
old order has gone anyway and moth
ing can bring it back. 1t passed out
when MIRA came in. 1t had been
crumbling a long while before that,
getting into such hopeless mess
that it's doom was sealed.
But anyway, there we have that
sixty--or ninety-day time of test
ing.
Will MIRA win or lose? A better
question is: Will the people win OF
lose?
Little the people care what name
may be borne by the vehicle that
bears them through to promised
land of jobs and bread.
Well, where are we at today? The
answer is simple, short We are on
the way
Moreover, MIRA will win, for the
simple reason that it has to win.
History is filled with records made
by men who made the records just
because failure was out of the ques'
ton. They had to win.
But this winning will be at the cost
of terrific effort.
