Labor Has It's Chance

ABOR, if it has the gumption.
IL can profit far more under the
Eagle than the employing class.
And yet the employing class has
something to save if t only had
the imagination to comprehend il.
one Of the most encouraging signs
that the United States is still Nable
IS the coming Of strikes and the
promise of strikes.
An absence OF labor disputes does
not indicate good times. II Is the
sign and symbol Of death and stag
nation.
There were very few strikes dur
ing the depth Of the depression.
Labor unions we're licked. Leaders
realized that in many industries
1t was quite impossible to win
strike. because the employer in all
TOO many cases would lose a little
less by shutting up shop and sus-
pending operations.
Now there is something 10 fight
Tor. But, paradoxical as IL may
seem, the employing class can not
anord TO win strikes at the present
time. Every time a strike is broken
purchasing power goes down.
1t generally is assumed that the
steel magnates are hard. cruel and
rapacious but that they know their
business. They are hard. cruel. and
rapacious. and they don't know the
first thing about their business.
The only thing that can save
them and their industry from ruin
alton IS to have some agent Of the
Eagle get them in a room and knock
their heads together. And the
harder. the better.

are the cases Of people who live at
high attitudes and who do not get
enough oxygen into the blood by
way of the lungs, people who have
disturbances Of the lungs which
prevent circulation Of the blood in
the small air spaces and conditions
in which the flow Of blood in the
lungs is very rapid.
In some cases Of congenital heart
disease, the blood passes directly
from the veins to the arteries with
out circulating through the lungs
and fails to be cxygenated by pro-
per passage through the lungs.
There are other cases in which
the tissues of the body demand ex-
cess amounts Of oxygen, as in the
presence OF severe over exercise, in
which bluenesS may result.

Unfair Practice

By Times Reader.
IT does not seem fair that drug
Il gists should require their soda
boys and errand boys to take out
applications for apprentice phar-
macists. thereby making them
professional help and not subject
to MIRA regulations.
My son is one of such and his
application fee will cost him 81
and he never intends to be a
druggist in any sense of the word
He is a senior in Shortridge this
term and has worked for this one
man since october, 1881.
He was getting 81 a week and
last week got a big raise to S4.80,
and now. to evade the issue, he
is going to be classed as profess
sional" help, when. as a matter
of fact. he is a soda clerk, JAM
tor, delivery boy, and what have
you.
1t seems to me that something
ought to be done about the mat
ter.

Wa 1t WI Work

WHETHER it was within The
w intent of the measure I do
not profess to know. but NRA is a
weapon to use as a means of uni
versal unionizatfon. Some Of the
labor leaders, particularly the more
radical ones. have been very slow
to realize this They have been too
busy fighting individual iniustices
under the act to realize its enor-
nous potentialities for growth of
the labor movement
AS far as I can see. the man who
has grasped the true inwardness of
the Eagle most completely is John
L. Lewis. His leadership often has
been assailed. I am not in a posi-
ton to pass upon the justice of the
many criticisms aimed against him.
l always have Jumped him in with
other A. F. of L. chiefs as reaction
airy and inactive. But within the
last few months he has added some
thing like 100000 members 10 his
union.
I think that any person with two
feet six inches worth Of vision can
realize that the National Recovery
Act IS not an emergency measure.
It will be renewed. and in more
drastic form Industries with weak
unions or none at all will get very
little under any code.

MIRA is CONSTITUTIONAL

is the levity with which We re-

UNITED STATES WAS ATTACKED

Bitter Words Used in the House of Commons and Some of Them w ere Insulting

London. May A. (UP)- The United States was bitterly and publicly attacked during debate in the House of Commons tonight after Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald had reported on his visit to Washington, revealing that war debts would be barred from discussion at the world economic conference.
 Sir Stafford Cripps. former solic- itor general. branded the decision of the United States to pay the interest on her gold bonds in paper currency as "contrary to every criterion of honesty"
 "The United States hoped to win the financial leadership of the world from London after the war. Sir Arthur Samuel taunted, but with the American default on her liberty bonds, no one would again look to her for leadership"
 Samuel demanded that Neville Chamberlain. chancellor of the eNchequer = who previously had announced an increase in the ex- change stabilization fund to $1,- 365,00O,000 - to ask the United States where she was aiming.
