THE FEDERATION DRIVE.

The announcement of President Green that the American Federation of Labor is. to launch drive to bring into it's fold all labor unions should not astonish anyone Under the National Recovery Act organized labor has practically been given a bill of rights it specifically guarantees to industrial workers or for that matter workers Of any class the right to organize It makes it practically impossible for employers to prevent the formation of unions within the ranks of their own workers But it does not elevate the American Fedora tion of Labor, or any other association of labor unions to position of domination. Nor can the Federation or any other association, any more than the employers resort to unethical forceful means to whip small local unions into their ranks. This point about the MIRA was recently emphasized by Donald R. Richberg General Counsel for MIRA, in a widely broadcast address, in which he said:
 The law is not intended to enthrone any
 national labor organization or to dissolve
 any local organization It does not destroy
 the right of an employer to manage his
 own affairs, but it does establish the right
 of his employees to manage their own af-
 fairs, and it recognizes that fixing wages
 hours and conditions of employment is
 equally the business of employers and em-
 ployees, and that no single man or group
 of men, no single interest or group of inter-
 ests no single organization or group of
 organizations, be permitted to chart
 the course of industry, and to determine
 prices and to fix wages, if democratic
 institutions are to survive
 The law recognizes that only through
 the cooperative action of all groups of
 interests-self- organized. self-governed and
 held by the Government to like responsi-
 blities for the exercise of their powers in the public interest-that only through such voluntary but disciplined cooperation can we go forward into a new era Of freedom ana
 security.

DAM WORK ON
 MISSISSIPPIIS
 NOW TO START
Improvement in Valley Ex. pected to Reduce
 Freight Costs
By D. R. MACKENZIE

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn Sept. 21- The upper Mississippi river, wild and turbulent at times, is to be in straightjacket of locks and dams and made to pay for it's exis- tence.
 Agriculture, industry and con- sumers of the vast inland domain expect to line their pockets with the resultant revenue-represent ing "a saving in transportation costs.
 A. c. Wiprud, general counsel of the Upper Mississippi Waterway Association, has estimated this sav- ing at $10,630,000 annually.
 First An Operation"
 First, however, the Father of Waters must undergo major op- eration-having it's 6-foot channel deepened to g feet from the mouth of the Illinois river north to Min neapolis, and submitting to con- struction of g more dams and locks. Four already have been completed.
 The Federal Government is to foot the bill. For work this year, s33 100000 has been allotted from the $3,3OO, 100000 public works pro- gram. Senator Schall of Minne- sota has announced that the Pres ident advised him he was author izing immediate use of $12000, 900 to provide a 9-foot channel in the upper Mississippi, indicating also that he favored eventual deepening to 12 feet. Altogether, it is esti- mated the 9-foot project will cost more than $1OO,000,O00.
 Put 10000 To Work
 It will be a two and one-half year job, on which some 10000 men will be given employment.
 Once the 9-foot channel is op- ened, Wiprud predicts huge jump in freight volume to 10,500, 900 tons a year-against only about 10000 now-with 2,O00-ton barges carrying grain to Memphis, flour and wool to New Orleans.
 Barges will carry coffee, cotton, sugar, tobacco and coal from the south and east on return trips.
 Only 50O-ton barges are used at present. because of the shallow channel and because it costs about 85 cents a bushel to ship wheat and flour on the barge line, com pared to 2 or cents a bushel via the Great Lakes to the east.
 With completion of the Upper Mississippi project, however, trans portation costs on wheat and flour are expected to be reduced to 3 or 6 cents bushel.
 Big Saving on Coal
 Reduced freight costs, he says, would be reflected in a greater margin of profit to producers and lower prices to consumers. The northwest would save $5,000,0 900 an- nually, it is estimated, on coal shipped by barge into this area.
 In 1881 steel shipments from Chicago to Minneapolis cost about 28 cents a ton, via the Gre t Lakes. With the 9-foot channel, engineers say, rate of about 20 cents a ton would be possible.
 Eighty barges ply the river now under government operation. With completion of the 9-foot channel, shipping would be turned over to private carriers.

The Consumers Wages.
(Hartford Times.)

The MIRA Administrator frankly admits that the new deal will increase prices proportonately to the increased costs of production and distribution which it makes inevitable. The public must expect that Hours of labor cannot be shortened and wages increased, payrolls increased through the em- ployment of additional hands, without adding to the cost of doing business The consumer must expect Ito pay this additional percentage. The consumer will not object if he is at work and sufficiently paid. If too many consumers are idle short of funds, then regardless of prices, goods will stay on the shelves for want of customers.
 Such condition presupposes continuance of the depression from which the nation is trying to lift itself, condition which all of us hope and believe will be ended through the increased purchasing power of the people created by the reduction of hours of labor and establishment of higher basic rates of pay

Griffs Spirit
Pleasing to
Chiefs
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss, March %.
Messrs. Clark Griffith and Joe
Cronin were all smiles today.
Something happened yesterday
that caused them plenty of en-
joyment.
It was during the first five in
nings of the Griffs' contest with
the Atlanta Crackers. Lefty Wal
ter Stewart was on the mound
for the Capital clan for the first
time this year.
Hes going to be all right"
said Griff after the fifth in.
ming.
"Yep," said Cronin, "he'll do"
Yields Five Hits
All told Stewart allowed five
hits in his big test of the spring
season. Two of these came in
the first inning. The other three
did not make their presence un-
til that fifth when the Crackers
scored their only two runs off his
delivery. To sum it up, Stew
arts performance was most graft
flying and the chances are bright
that he'll hang up many a
triumph for the Griffs later on
this summer.
The GriffS, with a new batting
order in effect, won the game by
a count Of 8 to 4 when a final
check-up was made. In the first
inning this new batting arrange
ment clicked to perfection when
Myer walked, ManuSh delivered
on well executed hit and run
play and Cronin singled. A
single by Kuhel, louble by
Bluege and a long fly to right
field by Stewart, counted two
more markers in the second. In
the third, Manager Cronin and
his merry men put the game
safely in the bag. Cronin
doubled after GoSlin had gone
out. Kuhel got life on Chatham'S
error, Bluege singled and Cliff
Bolton Smote a home run to
deep left center field, one of the
longest in this stadium.
Spirit PIeases Chief
Gen. Alvin Crowder took up
the mound duties in the sixth
and proceeded to hurl easily to
the end. The Crackers collected
four hits off his offerings and
two runs, but were never able
to rattle the veteran when hits
really meant timely runs. This
appearance marked Crowder's
second Of the spring year as
he was one Of the three hurlers
who faced the Cleveland Indians
last Saturday at New orleans.
The teams spirit was also
exemplary and the players
frisked about as though they
had just won a world cham.
pionship. This also drew CLEANS
from Prexy Griff and Manager
Cronin for they feel such a
spirit. combined with gilt-edge
pitching, timely hitting and
splendid team work, will bring
many victories this season.
