Lessons of History

In Hawaii today there are
$4,000 Japanese, $4,000 Chi.
nese, 5000 Koreans, $4,000 Fill
pinos, and only $4,000 that are
racially either Americans or
northern Europeans.
Were these islands populated
as are the States of the Union
today, the national interest
there would not require the
special safeguards that are alb
solutely necessary in view Of
the small number of American
residents and the very large
number Of immigrants from
Asia.
All the lessons Of experience
and of history go to prove
that national authority ought
to be commensurate with na.
tional responsibility.
President Roosevelt is obey
ing the lessons of experience
and of history in appealing to
Congress to give him authority
to appoint as governor of Ha-
waii the best-equipped Amer
ican he can find for that po-
sition. Only under the admin
istration of such a governor,
one entirely independent of the
Honolulu oligarchy, can Amer
ican authority in Hawaii be
made commensurate with Amer
lean responsibility.
Hawaii should no longer be
forgotten by those responsible
for the defense of the United
States. 1t will not be when
Congress carries out the rec
ommendation of President Roose
velt.

Acts of Heroism

Even in her Inconsistencies
she must have screamed, and
from a long way off her collie,
Lady, heard the cry of agony
and came like an arrow from a
bow. She was all over her mis-
tress in a whirlwind Of action.
She rolled on her, paved at her,
turned her over and over, until
there was no more fire left IL
the girls clothing. All alone.
with only her sagacity to
prompt her, the collie fought
off death and saved the life Of
her mistress by seconds.
The New York Anti-Vivisec-
ton Society rewarded Lady
with a medal granted for con-
Spicu1ous intelligence and
bravely.
One thinks of such stories
roaming about one of the love-
liest plots of ground anywhere
to be found, the dog cemetery,
"Cimitiere des Chiens," on the
Seine, near Clichy, in France.
Here are buried $4,000 Of the
friends of man. There stands.
among many such memorials.
the monument to the dog,
Barry, "who saved the lives Of
40 people and was killed by the
forty-first."
Barry belonged to the monks
of st. Bernard, in the Alps. His
work was to go out on the high
trails, in the terrible winter
storms, and look for lost
travellers.
And then, one day, he came
upon traveller lost in the snow.
The man was dazed by hunger
and numb with cold. His mind
was not working intelligently.
When he saw a great dog rush.
ing toward him in the winter
dusk, he raised a bar Of iron.
which he had been using as his
staff, and brought it down with
all his strength upon Barry's
head. Mortally hurt, barely able
to crawl, the great dog retreated
down the mountain and with
his last strength barked the
alarm.
The monks followed a trail Of
blood left by Barry and made
their way back along the trail
to save the man who had fatally
injured their most precious pos
session. That man today is one
of the chief contributors to the
support of THE Isle Of Little
Dogs"

Roman Relics

Roman Relics
The old and the new are
closely linked in many parts Of
England where there are relics
of the Roman occupation. Mod.
ern buildings arise on sights
where once stood a Roman tenn.
pie to a pagan diety, or a stout
fortification, a tribute to the
stout foes about them. So it is
with the city of Newcastle-on-
Tyne, originally Roman settle
ment, today one of England's
most important towns.
Newcastle is in strange con-
traSt to the deserted old Roman
city that is to be found not so
many miles away from it. In
Newcastle itself, modern plants
and factories give a buStling air,
although art and beauty are by
no means neglected. In this
north of England town the main
street, Gray Street, is lined with
buildings quite obviously in
Spired by Greek architecture, in
deed the whole street is just
about as artistic a business
street as we have ever seen, the
uniformity Of the Greek-looking
buildings giving it a spacious
dignity.

Corbridge itself is sleepy

ing poppies. BY the town is Wat

which today is still in use. A
little way along the Waiting

archeologist, pro fessional or
amateur.

you will find the granary, just

Roman tradition and a stable

Or, if you are a man, think

Many a man who borroWS

makes a charming friend and
an ideal escort, but would be
a complete flop as a husband
and "provider." And many a
man who always takes too
many cocktails at parties is
quite lovable and jolly good
company, if you are not the
wife who has to take him home
and put him to bed.
A man may get quite a thrill
out Of being seen about with a
beautiful, dashing girl; but he'd
hesitate to sign up to pay her
bills for life. And lots of men
enjoy listening for few hours

celebrated woman, who would
shudder at the prospect of be-
coming her legal shadow and
living with her temperament.
Oh, yes; the world is filled

might not care to be married

hate anybody, just because
you can't stand being married
to him. There are lots and

Happily Divorced

That charming writer, Adela
Rogers st. Johns, doubts that
divorced couple can remain per-
fectly good friends. She suspects
that lots of these "happily

wood are just kidding us when
they declare that they have only
the friendliest feelings for each
other.
But, why not? If there is any,
thing that would make you
fond of a misfit mate, it would
be the relief of getting RID of
him-or her. You never see a

KURRENT KOMMENT

"The school board at Cromwell,

state how low he or she would teach.
In reply it received 1900 bids. The
board estimates that it would take

1t was apparent that there was no

the board decided it was not paid for

RAILROAD MISMANACEMENT

The organized labor movement has contended time af-
ter time that much of the present financial predicament
of the railroads is due to the mismanagement of the rail
way executives.
Confirmation of this claim now comes from John F.
Harris, a director of the Southern Pacific Company and
of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad.
In discussing the advantages of the proposed Govern
ment car for the railroads, politely called a "moderat-
or" or a "co-ordinator," MI. Harris declares that such an
official endowed with adequate authority could save the
railroads from 500, 10000 to $3.50, 100000 annually
through elimination of duplicated facilities and services.
Duplicated railway facilities and services do not fall
into place like mamma from heaven fell on the Israelites.
They are established and installed by the orders of the
railway executives themselves. Now these same execu-
tives admit that the facilities and services are not es-
sential to transportation and should be abolished. And
they are such a bunch Of a~narchistic inefficients that they
can't do the ~scrapping themselves but must run to the
Government for a dictator!
When the car effects the millions of savings predicted
by Mr.. Harris the entire amount should be devoted to
restoring the wage slashes imposed on the railway en-
ployes many months ago.

The 1892 convention of the American Federation of
Labor declared that the paramount purpose OF the Amer
lean Labor Movement is to secure the nationwide adOp-
ton of the six-hour day and five-day week and conse-
Grated the full use of Labor's economic and political
forces to that end.
When on April 6 the United States Senate passed the
bill introduced by Senator Black of Alabama barring
from the channels of interstate commerce goods manufac-
tured by labor employed more than six hours per day or
five days per week, the achievement of Labors para
mount purpose received a decided impetus.
In a statement on the Senates action, William Green,
president of the American Federation of Labor, said:
'"The Senate of the United States did very fine
thing when it rejected a proposal to change the Black
shorter work week bill from a 30-hour to a 36-hour
work week measure.
1T did a finer thing when by a decisive majority it
passed the Black Bill which provides for a five-day
work week, six-hour work day law, which applies to
those employers of labor whose manufactured goods
are shipped in interstate commerce.
'"This action of the Senate can be properly inter-
preted as a blow at the vital spot of unemployment.
In operation it will create work opportunities for mil
lions of idle working men and women. 1t represents
the first real practical step on the part of the Govern
ment to constructively deal with the problem of unem-
%ployment. Labor regards the passage of the Black
Bill by the United States Senate as an outstanding
achievement.
Definite concentrated efforts will not be put forth
to secure favorable action by the House of Represen-
tatves. We feel positive and certain that the Mem
bers OF Congress who make up the House of Represen-|
tatives will vote as decisively for the adoption of the
shorter work week bill as did the United States
Senate"
With over $4,000, 900 unemployed workers pounding
the pavemens throughout the United States, a large
portion Of them and their families eking out a precar-
ious existence on charity relief, it is expected that the
House of Representatives will give prompt consideration
to the t%hirty-hour week bill and enact it into law without
multiplying amendments disguised under the deceptive
term elasticity"
1t should be remembered that the main purpose of the
bill as passed by the Senate is not to cater to the con-
venience of employers, but to provide jobs for around
100000 unemployed workers and a decent living for
their dependents. In the language of Senator Black, ut
makes employment of the unemployed the major OBJ
jective."
The crisis in unemployment demands the Federal 30
hour-week unlimited. Congressional craftsmanship
should not do less than meet this demand.

A resolution was adopted against

GEN DRUMM and SECRE-
TARY HOWE GRAB
CAMP

WASHINGTON OPP Private
persuasion of President Roosevelt to
suddenly turn over to army officers
the establishing and administering of
the 1850 forest labor camps which
are to be the homes of 100000 young
men from among the unemployed,
has upset the Forest Service and has
created so deep a mutual distrust be-
tween the professional foresters and
the army officers as to threaten the
success of the experiment in reforest-
alton work.
The Federated Press is informed
that while the civilian officials who
were in charge Of establishing the
camps were in conference, discussing
details of location and construction
and maintenance of the camps under
direction of the professional forest
ers, Gen. Drumm of the Army gener-
al staff walked in and announced
that the president had scrapped all
their plans and given the job to. the
Army. Drumm explained that the
military had won control of the camps
because they We're equipped for the
job.
Investigation showed that Louis
Howe, personal secretary to Roose-
welt, had laid the Army's claim to
this employment before the presi-
dent without letting Secretary Per-
kins or Secretary Wallace know what
he was doing.
Some 5000 lieutenants and 1900
captains of the regular army and of
the reserve will draw salaries for
bossing the men in camp, while a
much less number of foresters, train
ed for just this sort Of job and cost
ing the government much less per
man, will remain unemployed.
As a result, foresters who are di-
rected to supervise the men during
their working hours are expected to
find difficulty in teamwork with
the military officers. II is assumed
that the final solution will be either
complete Observation-Disclosures the
officers know nothing Of the forestry
problem-or withdrawal Of the Sam
Browne belts and brass buttons from
the woods camps.

FIGHT
BRINGS LABOR BILLS
TO LIGHT OF A

HARRISBURG, Pa.-(FP) - In
three days of aggressive fighting, or
ganized Pennsylvania labor forces
brought more Legislative proposals Of
their sponsorship onto the house floor
than in six years of petitioning. At
n point every delegate to the state
federation convention crowded the
legislative halls to force action.
The third day of a filibuster, con-
Quoted by a campaign of motions to
discharge house committees which
buried labor bills, brought to the floor
bills to outlaw yellow-dog contracts,
to hamper the army Of industrial spies
by licensing and bonding private de-
tectives, and to ban all evictions of
unemployed.
The third day of the filibuster fight,
timed to correspond with the conven-
ton of the Pennsylvania Federation
Of Labor, also saw the labor forces
muster a majority to place upon the
house calendar the Fitzgerald mini
mum wage bill for women and chill
dren. The bill had been brought in
with a negative recommendation by
a house committee before the labor
fillibuster went into effect.
The highlight of the Pennsylvania
federation convention came when Sec.
of Labor Perkins addressed a meet
ing jointly arranged by the fedora
ton, the Pennsylvania Labor Stan
dards Assn. and the Pennsylvania Sc
curity League.
She advocated minimum wage leg
~islation to protect women and chill
dren, restriction and eventual aboli-
ton of child labor, reduction of work
ing hours, old age pensions, unem-
ployment insurance and extensive
public works, particularly in the field
of housing.
