THE LITTLE FELLOW HELPS

ONE Of the things the National Recovery
~ Act seems destined to do is make
straight-out test of the comparative degrees
or social responsibility and public spirit pos
sessed by small industries and large ones.
So far, it must be admitted that most Of
the palms have been won by the little fellows.
Speaking generally, it is the little fellow
who has shown the greater readiness to sign
I'D under the blue eagle Drive down any
business street you like, in big city or in small
town. and you will see that heartening banner
prominently displayed in the windows Of small
shops, little restaurants. tiny garages, and
smaI-scale manufacturing establishments.
The little business man has come forward
with a gratifying promptness-and, for the
most part. he has been scrupulous in living up
to the terms of his agreement.
Unfortunately, not quite as much can be
said for the big fellow.
This is not said to take anything away
from those giant concerns which already have
lined up with NFA policies. Many have done
so, and their action has been in the highest
degree praiseworthy.
But many of them, unfortunately have
not; and the headaches suffered by NRA Off
Gals at Washington have arisen chiefly be-
cause some of the biggest industries in the
land have shown themselves surprisingly stiff
necked about it.
Now it hasn't been an easy thing for the
little fellow to get his blue eagle. In many
cases it is more of sacrifice for him to raise
wages and shorten working hours than it is
for the big fellow, for the simple reason that
labor costs are proportionately larger on his
budget than they are on the big fellows
The chap who runs, for instance. a corner
shoe repair shop, and boosts the number of
his workers from two to three under the MIRA
code, is quite likely to have to operate at a
loss for time
If he does. the money must come right out
of his own pocket, and not out of a pile of
cash reserves tucked away in some bank.
Yet it is the little fellow who seems to be
leading the way right now He hasn't talked
Indignantly about constitutional limitations, or
his time-honored open shop policies, or his
duty to his stockholders.
He has rolled up his sleeves and gone in
there to pitch. and he has done it without
much coaxing.
If large-scae industry wants to justify its
dominant position in America it must DEM
onstrate that it possesses social conscience in
the same measure as the little fellow possesses
it.

NO TIME FOR INTOLERANCE

TTGLY rumors have been floating around
~ indianapolis for several weeks. tending
to alarm both Catholic and Jewish residents
Usually reliable citizens say that remnants Of
The Ku-Klux Khan are busy again. busy form
ing the Silver Shirts" or the Blue Shirts"
dedicated to the Hitherto idea of national
purity
America IS no place for intolerance. The
Ku-Klx Khan learned that. This is no time
for intolerance. If the rumors are true. those
behind the movement soon will learn that
also.
Thousands Of Catholic and Jewish resi-
dents have brought credit and honor TO Indi-
ana and to indianapolis. The Ku-Klux Khan
and organizations of its type have brought
only shame and disgrace. That is all those
organizations ever can bring to community.
America needs cooperation and fellowship
not intolerance, prejudice, and viciousness.

A NEW DEAL FOR CUBA

IT would be a great mistake to assume that
the worst of Cubas troubles are over just
because Machado has been kicked out.
Before Cuba can get permanently on the
way to good government and economic health,
there must be pretty extensive readjustment
of the relations which exist between that ma
ton and the United States.
Independent in name. Cuba actually has
been protectorate, an economic dependency,
of the United States ever since the war with
Spain. 1t is worth remembering that Ma
chado remained in Office with Washington's
approval; it also is worth remembering that
the islands economic life was ruined very
largely because of the attitude of certain
American business and financial interests
Our administration is duty bound to de-
velop new deal for Cuba; it must find some
way in which Cuhas freedom can be genu-
Inc thing and not just an empty word.

BY Arnold Johnson.
In reply to the communication of
William Alexander in the Message
Center few days ago, I want to
say that I have enjoyed the privi-
lege OF hunting and fishing along
many Indiana streams and have
fisherman's acquaintance with some
OF the streams mentioned in your
articles, Stream Pollution in Indi-
ana
I read them with must interest
and thought them timely and fair
1t has been great pleasure for me
to entertain in my home many Of
my upstate and downstate friends
who had given me the freedom of
their creek banks and farms and in
many cases these new acquaintance
developed into personal and conf
dental friendships and not in
single case was it ever insinuated
that I was a nuisance, a property
destroyer or bowler.
I have such friends in Scott
county, from which place I Just
have returned from a hunting trip
and where I have been a frequent
visitor for the last ten years, and
from observation and contact with
persons in that vicinity can say
that the article on pollution of
Muscatatuck river west of Austin is
so mild that one wonders how the
writer held himself in such restraint.
Alexander's letter provoked both
frivolous and indignant comment
among the sufferers of this fragrant
violation of human sensibilities. He
states that he lived on that ditch at
one time, well, just one time is
enough" Let him tell us when he
lived on that stink ditch how long
and why he moved. I would also
like to know the name Of that neigh
Dor who now lives along that ditch
who has not at some time to some
one in some manner made complaint
against either the condition of the
water or the offensive odor coming
from that ditch. .
But to satisfy yourself, Just turn
west off State Road 81 in Austin
and take the Royce Bridge road for
two or three-minute drive. You
need not stop to locate this ditch
you will not have to, neither will
you want to. One Whit will con-
vince you that The Times did not
tell half.
Farmers west of Austin have been
crying for relief for years, but all in
vain and when a paper like The
Times has the courage to assist in
righting this abuse of civic toler-
ance against that patient commu-
nifty the full and absolute facts
should be had to discredit such let
tiers as Alexander's.

END SWEATSHOPS

THE strike Of 10000 New York dress and
waist workers is not strike in the usual
sense of that word but walkout shared in by
many manufacturers to test whether the
barbarous system of sweatShops shall longer
endure.
1t is not surprising therefore, that federal
recovery administration officials are agreeing
with the union leaders and with the reputable
manufacturers supporting the movement that
the sweatshops are doomed
The sweatshop system of driving human
labor endless hours in inSanitary work places
at pay insufficient to keep body and soul
together is abhorrent to virtually every human
being, even to all those who. generally
unknowngly. buy the sweatshop products at
bargain prices.
Sweatshops. the enemy of thousands ground
down in them, are the enemy of prosperity.
They are the hideaways of industrial suicide.
The strike of the 10000 in particular is
directed against the middleman of the
industry. the jobber the grand abettor of the
sweatshop evil. The merchant wanting the
lowest priced garment arranges with the
jobber to supply him a certain number at a
certain price
The loober goes shopping among the $500
manufacturers If the manufacturers sickle

If he does not. the iobber tries others and

In this way. under the murderous
competition of the depression wages have been
cut to the lowest possible minimum. The dress
industry has been almost demoralized.
Union leaders say that the workers
receive as low as 80 cents for making a dress
that retails for Sc. The jobbers do not employ
the labor and so escape responsibility. thus
serving as buffer to the conscience of the
dealers, who do not dicker with the con-
tractors.
In this process every one except the iobber

the dresses.

CHICAGO WAKES UP

CHICAGO apparently means business in its
~ war on crime. Gangsters. racketeers and
hoodlums accustomed to lax prosecutions
long delays, and to bargaining for light SEN
fences. are discovering to their amazement
that quick trials and maximum sentences now
are the rule.
Half dozen judges have given up sum-
mcr vacations to help clean up the crowded
criminal dockets.
The country will hope that the present
exhibition Of activity in Chicago is not just
another flash in the pan. Chicagos law
lessneS has been a national disgrace, and
challenge to democratic government.
The city has been the pivot of crime or
gained on a national scale.
And while there can be nothing but ap-

ises, it might not be amiSs to wonder why
the efficacy of such methods was not discov-
cred before condition of veritable anarchy

POLITICS BEHIND RACKETs
"A scRIPPs-nowARD NEwsPAPERl

THE most important development in the
senate racketeering hearings so far is
the charge made by District Attorney
Medalie and Justice Kernochan Of New YORK
that the persistence of gangsters is due large
" to their protection by corrupt politicians
Mr. Medahe said: In almost every large
city. racketeers and gangsters are part of the
machinery of municipal control Not until
politics is divorced from municipal control
will you get rid of the gangster and the
racketeer"
Judge Kernochan said: "Racketeers would
be given a tremendous blow if in some way
the protection Of the district leaders could be
taken from them They contribute to cam
paign funds and sometimes solicit funds for
district leaders"
These facts have been we'll known to
students Of crime and municipal politics for
years It is fortunate that Senator Cope
lands investigation has enabled them TO
make the headlines.
It is futile to pass the buck to city police
and attack them for ineficiency and venality.
Granted that they are guilty at times, police
ndEuly can De expected 10 Use superior 10 lfleH
overlords in the city organization. AS James
P Kirby Of the Cleveland Press explained to
the Princeton conference on politics:
1T is the politicians on the bench. in the
prosecutors office, and in the council cham
bers in our great cities-to their shame-who
have set the pace which the policeman follows.
The most insidious influence existing today is
the political influence which ties the hands of
the honest policeman
To the protection given gangsters by
crooked politicians is added that offered by
INSCRIPTIONS but clever lawyers. Politicians
and lawyers are not responsible for the ex-
istence of the majority of these anti-social
types but they do provide major obstacle to
Kidding the country of criminals and racketeers.

People who are severely anemic

The blueness is in itself an ex-
ceedingly important symptom and
always is looked for by the physi-
clan. If it is found, he attempts
to explain it by studying various
tissues and organs.
First the patient is examined for
the presence Of abscess Of the lung,
diphtheria, foreign bodies which
have gotten into the breathing tube
obstructing it. and disturbances OF
the larynx, such as Inflammation or

Whenever these conditions are

STRANGER THAN FICTION

THE freakish ways in which criminals
u sometimes are brought to book can. &C.
casionally, Guido the most far-fetched inven-
tons Of the novelist.
Consider, for example, the way in which
the government was able to round UP the
Harvey Bailey gang in Texas.
Young Charles F. Urschel. Oklahoma oil
man. was kidnapped and held prisoner in
Texas farmhouse. He had no idea where he
was, but he noticed that every morning and
every evening an airplane few over the house.
One morning it failed to show up. So,
when he was freed, and had told his story. it
was simple matter for the detectives to find
out what airplane line was involved, to dis
cover just what deviation in the scheduled
flight had taken place on that particular
morning. and in that way to locate the
neighborhood in which Urschel had been held
prisoner.
4 dangerous bandit gang rounded up be-
cause an airplane had to make detour one
day to avoid bad weather-would any novelist
dare invent anything as far-fetched as that?

Their duties can not be compared
to those or a laboring man or an
Office man. The latter will not en-

Who was it that contributed the

police and firemen and they were
not reimbursed in money for it
