N. Y. CHARITABLE
Bureau Sets Ninety-Y Year
Record For Relief

New York City ILNS)-The New
York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor spent 2,471 600
for all its activities in 1882, the larg-
est amount ever spent in any one of
the 80 years of it's existence, Car
nelius N. Bliss, president, said in a
letter to contributors.
Nearly three out of every four fam
lilies applying to the organization for
help in 1882 never had been known
to any relief agency before, Bliss
said. In the fiscal year ended last
September, there were 32,533 applica-
tions to the association for relief
This was an increase of 382 per cent
over the fiscal year 1929.
In 1882 there were $3.50 families
under continuous care of the asso-
cations family welfare department
The families were entirely destitute
The total expenditures for Immediate
relief rose from $342, ,036 to 81 ,265, 16S
in 1882.

e Problem" in the American FEEDER

the Problem" in the American FEEDER
ationist.
On the question of jobs and the
refusal of those who own and control
industry to reorganize it on the basis
of shorter hours to provide work for
| the unemployed, Mr.. Green said:
There is no way permanently to
sustain a nation except by work, hence
our relief measures should be directed
toward restoring work opportunities.
"For the past II months men and
women have been sinking further and
further down the valley of depres-
sion. Those in position of power have
made no effort to get at the causes
of our present disaster. They seemed
concerned only with their own bal
ance sheets. The root of the evil is
greed. The powerful increased their
share of returns at the expense of
others who co-operated in joint enter
prises. The result was unbalance. The
buyers in retail markets could not
buy enough to keep industries going
to capacity There has been fragrant
dishonesty in the management of
banking, industries and utilities. Dis
honesty on both small and large
scales has involved US in the break
down of our business system.
"The leaders of industry and
finance still have the chance, if they
will turn their experience to service
in finding the principles of square
deal for all and balance in social prog
ress. Let them learn to look out for
others as essential to looking out for
themselves.
'This first step is to assure every
individual the right to earn a living.
Unless there soon is evidence of this
kind of leadership can patience en-
dure?
Even under the present conditions
some mills are working their employees
55 and so hours a week. The result
is to encourage price declines and
ruinous competition destructive to
the standards of legitimate industry.
In this situation in which the COM
plete collapse of our business insti-
tutions is involved organized society
has by it's very nature authority to
take the necessary action"

HITLER HUNTING TROUBLE

Hitler and his followers have tack
led big job in attempting to de-
stroy the German socialist movement,
which is the political expression of
German trade unionism. German So
cialism, represented by the social
democratic party, has weathered
many a storm, both from without and
within, and is still fourishing. A
movement that survived the persecu-
tions of the Bismark regime under
the old Hohenzollern-Junke rule will
probably not vanish into thin air un-
der the attacks of an upstart like
Herr Adolph Hitler. At least Adolph
will know he has been in fight.

DISMISSAL WAGE

The dismissal wage for workers
who are displaced by the machine
or discharged because of the falling
off in business, has made some prog
ress in recent years. Of course it is
not substitute for a job but it is
better than turning the workers out
into the stree without cent. So
far, the dismissal wage has been paid
in private employment. Why should
not the government set an example
for business and fairness by paying
dismissal wage? Under the new
economy program, it is probable some
government employees will lose their
jobs, and now would seem to be a
most opportune time for the govern
ment to inaugurate the principle of
paying dismissal wage.

UNION HEADS
Confer Before Labor De-
partment Meeting

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Pre-
ceding the conference of labor repre-
sentatives called by Secretary of La
bor, representatives of national and
internatinal unions met at the head
quarters of the American Federation
of Labor to consider the unemploy-
ment situation, relief measures and
other questions.
More than three million workers
were represented directly by the men
present at the meeting, which includ-
ed representatives of the railroad la
bor organizations.
Railroad labor, as represented by
the Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation, held a separate meeting to
formulate a policy of opposition to
any action that may tend to increase
unemployment among rail workers.
The railroad labor unions are fighting
consultations of railway lines at the
expense of employment.

A NEW KIND OF STRIKE

Miners at Klimontow, Poland. sue
cessfully tried anew kind of strike
the other day. When the employers
threatened to close the mine and food
the shafts, 700 workers remained on
strike underground for six days. They
came out of the pits when they were
promised jobs by the governor of
kielce. The mine owners saw the
error of their ways, agreed not to
dismantle the shafts and announced
the shutdown would be only tempo
rary.

CUTTING FARM PRODUCTION

The fundamental idea in the farm
relief bill is cutting down production.
In one way or another, the farmer is
to be paid to limit his acreage. He
is encouraged to do the very thing
that was once roundly denounced as
a major sin when practiced by wage
earners. Reducing production is now
pronounced righteous and holy and
the only thing that can save farmers.
Meanwhile, as the drive to cut pro-
duction on the farms by law goes
ahead under full steam, great num-
bers of people still lack the money
to buy adequate food. Instead of
action to put them in the market
again as purchasers, the idea seems
to be to make food scarcer and there
fore more expensive.
Kiting the prices of food, as wages
and salaries fall, doesn't seem to be
the intelligent way to solve the farm
and other problems resulting from
the depression.

VALUE OF A STRONG kick"

Organized labor was true to its
time-honored principles in fighting
Presidents Roosevelt's plan for the
enlistment of men in conservation
work camps, under form of military
control and discipline. Labor has al
ways fought anything even suggest
ing autocratic control of men in civil
ian pursuits. So it naturally looked
with disfavor on the plan for camps
under army control.
Labor was likewise true to its prin-
ciples in fighting the proposal for the

PULLMAN WAGE POLICIES

Not content with lowering the
wages of colored porters, the Pull
man Company is now seeking to re-
duce wage levels still further by en-
ploying Filipinos and Japanese. In
cidentaly, the Pullman monopoly
hopes to knock out the Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters, the Pullman
porters' labor organization, by en-
ploying Oriental workers.
Last year the Pullman business was
operated at loss, for the first time
in nearly wo-thirds of a century
Pullman travel shrank to the lowest
since 1909, as the result of de-
preston that has cut drastically the
income of the American travelling
public.
Pullman business is one that de-
pends almost entirely on high in
come levels. The Pullman Company
knows this, yet it loses no opportunity
TO slash the wages of its employees.
It's employees seldom travel as pas
sengers in it's cars, it is true, but
keeping their wages down helps to
depress the whole wage level of the
nation and so hits the Pullman bust
ness.

PORTENTIOUS SIGNS

American workers are getting lust
about fed up with starvation wages
and more and more signs of rebellion
are appearing. The big strikes of un-
organized automobile workers in the
Detroit area were an indication that
there is limit to the endurance of
even unorganized men. Auto work
ers elsewhere are restive and other
strikes are likely. The example of
1000 Ford workers who struck in
England against wage cuts will not
be lost on American workers.
Other strikes here and there are
straws, seemingly indicating a grow
ing disposition to fight. Miners are
striking in Kentucky against payment
in scrip, which must be redeemed at
company commissaries. Miners in
other states are protesting vigorously
against present wage scales.
Nor are the signs of revolt con-
fined to the ranks of men workers,
At Jacksonville, Fla, girl workers in
a big cigar factory are fighting sue
cessive pay cuts and other griev-
ances. Women workers in garment
making centers are opposing wage
slashes, which they rightly say have
gone beyond all reason.

1HV Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fiippantly.
sometimes recklessly.

In this apparently limited monar-
chy a lot of things are happening. One
of the most interesting things Of re-
cent date was the kick that went up
against enactment of the so-called
reforestration bill
First of all, various groups were
called in by the president on the theory
that conferences were to be held rela-
tive to the project.
When the various groups arrived at
the white house they found they were
not called in for conference. They
were merely called there to be told
what was to be done.
Some of those who were called in
declared their opposition right then
and there
But all had the feeling that oppo-
sition wouldn't do much good. They
felt that the political machine was
still going too strong. 1t mostly was
Labor's opposition did bring some
modification of the proposal
How much remains to be seen.
The worst of the RECOMMENDATION fea-
ture was thrown out and the dollar
a-day provision was thrown out,
though to make room for provision
that looks worse
Now here are some other facts
about the proposal. 1t is to be financ-
ed with money appropriated for pub
lie buildings. AS consequence ALL
PUBLIC BUILDING PLANS HAVE
BEEN STOPPED.
Moreover, where the public building
program meant work for 385,000 men,
the referestration program is sched-
uled to give work only to 250,000,
And at shadow of wage!
Just what progress is to be found
in program that stops good wages
and replaces them with pittance and
still leaves $4,000 fewer men en-
ployed is a puzzle.
To Congressman Connery, of Mas
sachusetts, went the honor of standing
out to the last ditch for decent en-
ployment conditions. He would
neither present the reforestration bill
nor support it. AS result he is al
ready being doomed for the senate.
Connery seems to believe that con-
gressmen are elected to represent the
people, and that they have duty to
perform that goes beyond simply say
ing Eyes, sir"
Now out of all of the measures
that are being jammed through there
will come some good. 1t would be sad
if this were not true. And there
should be no disposition toward hasty
criticism or condemnation. But, that
does not mean any necessity for be-
ing blind to truth and facts. And the
! facts are that the terms of the So
called reforestration bill were about
as bad as they could be.
| As a footnote let US say that the
| Is per cent wage cut for government
employees has gone into effect, to the
delight of government employees, OF
course. They have been so eager to
take less money!
In this connection it developes that
out of all the federal judges in the
country, only two took advantage OF
the provisions of the previous econ
omy act to return deduction from
their pay to the treasury. The law
granted to those whose jobs are con-
stitutional the privilege of making q
return equal to the cut inflicted upor
those who hold jobs created by stat.
/ ute. All but two held onto all they
got.
Well, that shows THEIR patriotic
! fervor

That the bill for carrying the pres

FAIR To HAVE
CITRUS SHOW

Imperial Valleys desert grape
fruit. known all over the country
for their exceptional quality, will
form the main part of the citrus
exhibit which is one Of the largest
and most colorful displays at the
county fair.
However, grapefruit, while the
largest citrus crop in the valley,
will not form the entire display.
Mingled with the golden yellow
fruit will be the orange of rare
tangerines and many varieties of
oranges. Lines and lemons will be
another division of the citrus ex-
hibit which is certain to be of in
terest to the visitors at the fair.
The Imperial Valley grapefruit
growers are planning wonderful
exhibit, having had one of the
largest and most beautiful at last
years fair, but in addition, there
will be entries by many individual
growers.
To most people, oranges and tam
gerines are just oranges and tan
gerines, but when they visit the
fair they will find all sorts of var
ieties decidedly different in size,
texture and appearance. Through
the Riverside Citrus experiment
station and the University of CAL
ifornia extension service, constant
experiments are being conducted to
determine what varieties are best
suited to local growing conditions.
While lines and lemons are not
grown extensively in the valley due
to their susceptibility to frost, they
may be found in various orchards
throughout the valley. Lemons in
particular, grow to enormous size in
the valley and like the grapefruit
are noted for their unusually high
sugar content.

tie. They greatly added to the rid
er's comfort and naturally absence
of sharp jolts and bumps means
less wear and tear on the machine,
longer tractor life, and less ex-
pensive upkeep.
Still another advantage, partic-
ularly to citrus growers, is that
pneumatic tires will not pack soil
as do the rougher iron wheels.
Likewise, they will be easier on
feeder roots which run near the
grounds surface.
The development of practical
pneumatic tires is certain to help
the farmer grow and harvest crops
more efficiently and more econom-
ically, those who have tested and
used tractors SO equipped declare.
