Appearing before the National BIZ
luminous Coal Industrial Board, Mr..
Taylor caused a stir by advocating
reduction in working hours in soft
coal mines from 40 to 80, with COM
pensating increase in wages. He
pointed out that a reduction in hours
would not necessarily mean reduc-
tion in production. His company's
experience, when the cleanup" sys-
tenn prevailed, under which the men
worked 10 to IA hours a day, indi-
Gated that as much coal could be pro-
duced in the 8-hour day as in the
longer day. He said his company was
producing a greater tonnage under
the shorter week than when the long
er week was in operation.
A few days after Mr.. Taylor made
his suggestion, bituminous coal oper-
ators of the Appalachian region
agreed to reduce the work weetk to
35 hours. That marks distinct prog
ress, but the week must be cut even
more, to cope successfully with the
appalling unemployment in the coal
industry. Mr.. Taylor pointed the way
to the solution. Sooner or later the
coal industry must adopt the 30-hour
week. Why not in the near future?

FRENCH DEMOCRACY
THREATENED

News from Paris indicates that
revolutionary outbreaks may be brew
ing in France. Extremists of the right
and left are plotting and if they
unite, as they did in the Paris riots
of February and 7, they might over
throw the republic. French labor, un-
less all signs are misleading, will do
it's best to defend democracy. 1t
served notice on French Fascism after
the Paris riots, by the great general
strike of February IL, that it would
fight dictatorship and Fascism to the
limit. The strike, a wonderful demon
stration of labor discipline, showed
that in the labor movement, French
democracy has a powerful and ag-
gressive defender.

MONEY WELL SPENT

Big returns have come to taxpay-
ers through the efforts of the federal
trade commission during the past four
years. While the five millions ex-
pended by that body for investiga-
tion of utilities ordered by the SEN
ate seems huge sum, the benefits
derived by consumers far exceeds it.
How far the benefits outweigh the
expenses is readily if not completely
shown. During those four years con-
sumers of electric utilities have been
saved $118,747,654 by reduced rates.
The percentage of profit to rate
payers on this investment is as stag
gering as the percentages of holding
company profits disclosed by the COM
sion. 1t must be agreed the expense
money of the commission was fine
investment for the taxpayers,
The trade commission punctiliously
reports that not all the reductions
can be readily traced to it's investi-
cation. 1t finds that $66,454,2 ,240 has
been saved customers through reduc-
tions by companies investigated by
the commission. 1t does not point out
what should be an obvious deduction
that the investigation stimulated
rate regulatory bodies to act to bring
about further reduction, and that
companies which have not yet felt
the searching light of investigation
have hurried to clean their hands.

ton of discrimination against immi-
grants in employment the committee
presents a view that merits general
attention. 1t says in part:
Many people feel very naturally
that where there are two applicants
and only one job, preference should
be given to the citizen. The difficulty
is that there are other factors which
need to be considered. Quite aside
from the question Of competency the
citizen may be a single man; the
alien may have wife and children
dependent on him. His children, fur
ther, may be native born. In discrim-
mating against their father, we are
thus discriminating against American
citizens, and those least able to pro-
tect themselves.
The committee believes that in all
such questions, difficult though they
are, human need as we'll as citizenship
should be taken into account. 1t be-
bieves further that it is unfair tc
dismiss an alien who is performing
job satisfactorily, who quite pos
sibly came in the years when we
needed labor, simply because he is an
alien and in order to make place for
citizen. Make our immigration laws
as severe as conditions require, but
once having admitted the immigrant
treat him as the prospective partner
that he is. This attitude alone will
elicit the best the newcomer has to
give"

The American people are just be-

Rockefeller is just a nice old gent
