FOOL DO+PORCUPINE-
BLIND MAN-TRAGEDY

Onamia-Bill, the man, encouraged
Bill, the foolish dog, to attack por-
cupine, and that's where the trouble
started. The animated pin cushion
started to escape as rapidly as posi-
Bile, but Bill, the dog went right after
him and grabbed him just as he start
ed up a tree. Bill was enraged, sur
prised, and deeply grieved, and
searched his soul for sounds that
would adequately express his feelings.
He started for his master as fast as
he could run. Just then Bill, the man,
heard his wife screaming his name,
and turned his back on the dog to
see what was going on. Bill, the dog,
coming at 40 miles an hour and hold
ing his head high, struck Bill, the
man, with his nose at point about
six inches below were his suspenders
were attaced to his overalls. The
overalls were thin, and the porcupine
quilts were transferred from the the
nose of Bill, the dog, to the quivering
flesh of Bill, the man. Bill, the man.,
prefers to stand while eating. Bill,
the dog, can still sit down.

\ PROPHECY THAT FAILED

Drys opposed the return of beer,
for one main reason, on the ground
that the saloon would return. AS a
matter of fact the saloon never dis
appeared. 1t became either a speak
easy or a soft drink parlor which
aften sold bootleg liquor along with
the soft drinks. 1t surely is far bet
ter to have the present taverns, SELL
ing the legal brewery product.
The dry objection is further refuted
by the fact that the new beer is also
sold in groceries, drug stores, etc.
President Roosevelt and large ma
jority of the senators and represen-
tatives, who passed and signed the
beer bill, are authority for the state
ment that this beer is not intoxicat-
ing; hence there is no reason why it
should not be sold in the stores where
other articles of food and drink are
sold. Neither these stores nor the
taverns are the terrible places which
the drys pictures as about to come
with the return of beer.-( Milwaukee

JUSTICE FOR CHILDREN

The nation cannot defer the phys
ical care and education of our chill
dren to the future, the American
Federationist points out, in declaring
the nations duty toward the children
is a primary responsibility. Listing
the nations obligations to the chill
dren, the Federationist says:
Our first obligation is to main
tain unimpaired educational oppor-
tunities for all minors. We must re-
store what we have taken from the
children and maintain our educational
facilities.
Our second obligation is to raise
the standards of compulsory school
attendance legislation and regulation
of the employment Of minors. When
there are not enough jobs for adults
there can be no wise reason for en-
ploying girls and boys under Is years
of age.
"Our next obligation is to provide
adequate appropriations for family
relief where the income-earners are

British Labor
Defies Fascism

London (ILNS)-In great May Day
demonstrations in London and other
large cities, British workers voiced
defiance to Hitlerism and Fascism.
The meetings were held by the Ma
tional Joint Council, representing the
Trades Union Congress, the labor
party and the cooperative movement
More than $4,000 men and women
took part in the London demonstra-
ton; marching through the streets to
Hyde Park, where speeches were de-
livered by leaders of British labor,
George Lansbury, veteran leader OF
the labor party, denounced Fascism
as the gospel of decadence and de-
spair."
At Bristol, Sir Stafford Cripps
warned big meeting that "Fascism
will come like a thief in the night"
unless labor is vigilant in guarding
against it.
The meetings were intended, in the
words Of the Trades Union Congress
general council, as "irst-class
warning to Fascists, war-mongers and
anti-working class reactionaries of
every shade and section"

A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL

Railroad workers tell the govern
ment that it cannot at the present
time assume the responsibility for
depriving workers of employment
without assuming at the same time
the responsibility for their future
support.
Reason and logic support the stand
of the railroad workers, who are very
properly opposing consolidation pro-
posals that will throw railroad men
out of employment. Nothing should
be done at this critical period to in
crease the already great host of un-
employed. Any proposal that means
more unemployment is dangerous and
leads toward national disaster and
destruction.

THE KEY TO PROSPERITY

Labor has for years contended that
fair distribution of the products of
industry is the key to prosperity. Bus
mess and politics have largely ignor-
cd labor's view. But the depression
has taught them a few lessons, and
they are now echoing labor's argu-
ments for better distribution.
Henry A Wallace, secretary of ag-
riculture, is one of those who have
seen light. Speaking in Philadel-
phia the ether day, he warned against
e drifting policy in dealing with the
depression, and said:
Il want the standard of living, in
city and country alike, constantly i'm
proved. But we shall never achieve
that desideratum unless we learn to
distribute what we have produced as
well as we have learned to produce it..
Science has done the first job and
done it magnificently. Now let US
turn to the second and infinitely
more difficult one"

INSURANCE POLICY HOLDERS
LOSE

1t is reported that out of total
of 9,4S7,515 of the so-called weekly
premium" insurance policies issued in
1880, seventy-fve per cent Of the to-
tai, or 7,1O6,801 such policies, lapsed
and the premiums paid thereon were
largely a total loss to the policyhold-
ers, although information is not at
hand to show the actual amount lost.
In 1929, the peak boom and pros
perity year, more that $2,768, ,000, 900
of weekly premium insurance was
written. Of this amount 56.31 per
cent of the total amounting to 1851, :
100000 lapsed, with the resultant
losses. In 1880 the amount of this
class of insurance written was ap-
proximately the same as in 1929, with
lapses amounting to $2,007, 100000.

thing to ponder over by those who

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS

But how about the unmarried man
who is rendering equal service? Must
he be penalized because he has no
dependents Are his wages to be bas-
ed upon family obligations or upon
service rendered?
When the "cost of living" base for
wages theorists answer these ques-
tions, they will be surprised how i'm
practical their theory is, not only in
such instances as those referred to,
but as a general proposition.
The practice of trade unions in es-
tablishing a minimum wage which
permits a minimum wage which per-
mits their members to live in reason
able comfort, for service rendered, is
not only fair and humane, but it is
the basis upon which American stand
ards of living was established.
The union label, shop card and
working button have done yeoman
service in maintaining this objective.
All trades unionists should repudiate
the "cost of living" wage advocates
by spending union earned money for
union labeled merchandise and union
services and thus emphasize our de-
mand for wages for services rem
dered.

TO SEEK MEAT OF
AKRON MYSTERY

Washington, D. c. (LNS)-What
the Naval Board of Inquiry failed to
dig into is going to be the meat of
the senate Akron inquiry committee.
The senate committee is going to
summon witnesses who did not appear
before the naval court. 1t is going
to follow the line laid down as vital
by international Labor News Serv-
ice and this newspaper.
The senate committee is known to
have a witness list composed of men
who know about the work done on
the Akron.
They've got the story" said one
close to the committees plans.
1t is said that not only will the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation come
in for an overhauling in regard to the
work done, but that the Mellon-con-
trolled Aluminium Corporation of
America may be brought into the pic
ture "in a big way"
The two union machinists who
first came to Washington with
samples of Akron work probably
will have a chance to tell their
story, along with others.
And, it is reported, the navy depart
ment may be required to explain its
failure to call the witnesses which
the senate committee now has on its
list.
