COST OF BEER

HOw much should the thirsty citizen pay
l. for his scuttle of beer7 Should he be
able to get it for nickel-with free lunch
thrown in-as in the old days?
There has been much discussion of that
question, and complaints that prices were
too high
Here's what the Brewing Industry trade
magazine, has to say on the subject:
"A thirty ne-gallon barrel Of beer costs
81, according to estimates. which with the
federal tax Of IS, brings the cost to So A
price to restaurants and hotels of SIS would
allow profit to the retailer if cents a
glass were charged. and also allow the brew
cry a good profit"
Unfortunately, the Brewing Industry
doesn't tell how much brewers actually are
charging. And of course. state and local
taxes must be added in most places

ROADTOWN

TT is significant of the -mindedness of
- the Roosevelt administration that consid-
Grafton is being given to Mr. Edgar Chambless'
project known as "Roadtown"
For some years this proposal to rebuild
American cities on the ground instead of in
the air has fascinated architects City homes
would be built along road line through the
open country, instead of clustered about
congested group of skyscrapers.
inexpensive, modernized and standardized
houses, costing $500 person. or renting for
81 a week 4 room including all services, would
be strung out over the city road so that
jewellers would have access to land on both
sides. AT every road crossing would be a vii
lage. at necessary intervals city Two out
of every five families would work the land
the other three would work in the villages and
cities
The advantages of "Roadtown" seem to
fall into the general purpose of President
Roosevelt to create the beginnings of half
city half-country civilization for the United
States Today ne have two kinds of Amer
leans. the city and country type. Roadtown
would merge these into one, the cty-country
American. While enjoying the civilizing adj
vantages of city life he would have the
health-giving and sprituaizing influences of
natural living He would be a more natural
man than either the rustic or the son of city

A CODE AND A MINE WAR

WITHDRAWAL of the anti~labor pro-
" visions of the recovery code proposed
by the steel industry would carry more con-
viction if that industrys coal mines were not
nov the scene of a labor war. In southwest
ern Pennsylvania unarmed strikers being
shot down by company thugs in the guise of
deputy sheriffs. Governor Pirchot has to
send in troops to protect the workers.
This is a repetition of the terrorism pro-
voked periodically by the companies when
ever their workers try to organize. Repeated
Investigations, by senate and other bodies
have shown that these companies rule vir-
tualiy as feudal lords over serfs-
The refusal of one of the company town
mayors to permit the secretary of labor last
Friday to talk with workers in The city hall
or in the public park is typical of the above
the-law attitude of these steel and coal COM
panes particularly of the Mellon and Nor
gan interests.
It was TO restrain just such lawless en-
ployers that an elementary charter of labor's
right 10 organize was written into the ma
tional industrial recovery law. The country
can not recover from the sickness of depres-
sion if capital and labor choose this time to
pull in opposite directions.
Therefore the law removes certain issues
from the realm of controversy. One Of those
issues is the right of labor TO bargain collec-
lively through representatives of its own
choosing and without interference by the en-
ployers. The right is guaranteed by the law
That right is even expressly recognized by
the revised code which the steel industry it
self submitted 10 the government on the very
dav that workers were being shot for the
crime of trying to organize under the law. The
proposed code says:
That employees shall have the right to
organize and bargain collectively through rep
resentatves of their own choosing, and shall
be free from the interference. restraint or
coercion of employers of labor, or their agents,
in the designation Of such representatives CT
in self organization or in other concerted &C
tivities for the purpose of collective bargain
ing or other mutual aids or protection"
II the companies take this voluntary pledge
seriously they will begin to observe it in their
own towns and among their own workers at
once But if the companies merely are sigh
ing the pledge with one hand while they break
the law with the other hand. then the fed
eral government has the specific authority and
the duty to put those companies out Of
business.
The administration obviously has no de-
sire 10 resort TO the force provided by the law,
but if it must be a choice between the whole
country and the Mellon Morgan interests, then
the latter probably are in for a licking.

w ing. the President is interrupting his
cation to give much attention to the national
problem of commercial crime. This is a good
omen.
In the past the federal government has
bowed to public demand to the extent Of
promises but actually very little has been
done Even the Wickersham commission re-
ports were not followed through But President
Roosevelt it seems has a way of acting, as
we'll as talking
The fact that he has called in DR. Moley is
especially good news. Even those who criticise

the weakest part of the Roosevelt adminstra-

make it the strongest link in the cabinet chain
But unfortunately the great Senator Thomas

Since then that department has been used
too extensively as a patronage dumping
ground, and too little as an efficient fighting

government which seems untouched by the

Hon. About This?

BY c. +.
Why is it that with all the
money the city receives from the
gasoline tax and automobile IL
cense fees provided by the last
legislature that taxpayers can't
get work done on our streets?
Thirty-sixth street, between
Capitol avenue and Boulevard
place, is in a deplorable condition,
filled with holes that shake the
Filings out of a motorists teeth
when he drives over them.
My neighbors have made several
requests TO have the street placed
in passable condition, and promise
was made by the street commits
sioner's Office that the street
would be graded and otherwise
improved, but nothing has been
done about it.
1t seems that with all the talk
of the New Deal, Mayor Sullivan
would give us a new deal around
here. at least IS far as streets are
concerned.
With the state turning over
more than half a million dollars
to the city for street work, surely
a little management in the street
department should make a de-
cided improvement in condition OF
the city's streets.

|M.E.TracySays:

THE death sentence imposed on Walter
Il MCGEE for kidnapping suggests the posi-
bility that sentiment is at last being aroused
against this peculiar form of lawlessness, but
that is not enough.
kidnapping, like many other crimes from
which we are suffering is rooted in a weak
kneed attitude that includes not only public of
flcials but the average run of people. AS a
general proposition, we Americans have been
more willing to buy protection or obtain it
through pull than depend on constituted au-
thority. We have allowed ourselves to be proved
upon by racketeers 10 be blackjacked out of
money to be intimidated on the witness stand
and TO compound felony in a hundred different
ways for just one reason--lack Of CUTS.
kidnapping is but one phase of the maraud-
ing, Matchmaking and hijackiug which has come
to characterize our social and economic life and
which probably costs us more than all branches
Of government put together
While we can trace much of this unhealthy
condition to bootlegging. it would be unfair to
leave out the customers. the frame of mind
which would rather encourage lawlessness than
go without drink. The philosophy toward or
gained government which that idea represents
has cut a deep swath in our attitude toward
Law and law enforcement. Not only the GRIM
inal but the average man has been moved to
run his own show
II y
relatives, or friends actually have requested
the law to step aside in order that they might
negotiate more conveniently and compromise
with criminals. Promises of ransom and i'm
munity have been broadcast. while information
has been withheld from the police, because those
concerned were more interested in bringing
about happy ending for themselves than in
what happened to other people or society.
We might just as we'll be brutality frank about
this thing Organized liberty demands a sense
Of responsibility and willingness to make sacri-
fees for the common good. People can not make
themselves safe at the expense Of society without
undermining the basic principles of social order
can not compromise with criminals without de-
stroying constituted authority.
II is just as necessary for citizen to do his
duty in time Of peace as it is for soldier in
time of war. just as essential for him to make
the sacrifices and take the risks which the
maintenance Of orderly justice requires.
II IDNAPING has become epidemic because
IN dstraught people with cash 10 spare mads
it pay. AS long as they continue that course il
will flourish. Not only juries but the general
public must take a stand if this crime is TO be
stopped BY the same token, the general public
must take a stand if any form OF crime is TO be
stopped
Law enforcement like law. is no stronger than
the sentiment behind it. We have not arrived at
point yet and probably never will arrive at a
point, where law can be effectively enforced
without active cooperation on the part OF the
people The anarchy of rugged indvidualism -
If such 1t may be called has raised the SAM,
