ISOLATION is ENDED

IF it did nothing else, the labor dispute at
Detroit gave all of us an object lesson in
the solidarity of our modern industrial civiliza-
ton
This solidarity is thing which has come
upon us in spite of ourselves. We didn't will
it; most OF the time we have hardly so much
as thought about it.
1t took the discovery that strike of auto
makers in Michigan could tie up the entire
national recovery program to make us realize
that it exists
And the fact that it does exist is bound,
sooner or later, to make profound change in
our method of running our society.
We have talked a great deal, in these 1900
years about the brotherhood of man: but so
far we have treated the idea as the Levite
treated the man who fell among thieves-we
have looked at it respectfully and then passed
by on the other side.
Now We are being forced to discover that
this is an idea which, in the sheerest self
defense, we must turn into a working reality.
We may not feel like brothers. but we must
act like them. Are we our brothers keeper?
We might as well be. for he is ours.
When argument between the workers
and bosses in a few Detroit factories can
threaten to disrupt the recovery program of
the entire United States-can imperil the hap
piness, the security the very livelihood, that is
to say, OF rubber workers in Ohio and textile
operatives in North Carolina and machine
shop employees in Rhode Island and lead min
ers in Colorado-then the complete and in
escapable interdependence of the people of
the nation is too plainly demonstrated to
admit Of any more argument.
We no longer have any local" troubles
You may live in California or New Hampshire;
Industrial relations in Michigan are a pain
fully direct concern of yours.
Something has happened to us, while we
have been arguing and disputing. 1t is high
time that we realized It. We are all in the
same boat nowadays; no one can rock it with
out disturbing all Of us

WASH YOUNG HELD
AS MODEL TO OTHERS
By II. X. J

BY II. X. Y.
Once more Wash Young has had the
opportunity to reach the hearts of a
sadly bewildered nation in his latest
book, mo Thank You"
Knowing the man, personally, I
am in a position to say that he has
conquered more than one weakness;
that he has had the courage to
forge ahead, and from the loose
threads of a handicapped youth has
built a foundation for useful living
which any of us might envy.
Every one of us has the same OPP
portunity. He isn't giving us i'm
possible theories upon which to
build. He simply is appealing to our
common sense. He had less than
500 when he decided to rearrange
his entire existence. He had a de-
pendent family. They believed in
him and assisted him in sports
man-like manner. He believes in
himself. There lies the secret of his
success.
When I read "a Fortune to
Share" the world was blacker than
ink for me. Being E. realist I am
not influenced easily by so-called
revolutionary methods toward sue
cess, but to believe in ones self is
two-thirds the battle.
Wash Young also believes in God.
We should thank him for an unset
fish sharing of his secrets. What he
has done. others can do. At least
We can try, however black the world
may appear.

either party to the dispute wants to make
trouble. Even if this unsigned and rather
indefinite verbal agreement were a signed
legal document, it could not force cooperation.
Cooperation is a matter of will and desire
If the will and desire are present way out
of the difficulties can be found.
The main thing is that the industry for
the first time recognizes that its labor problem
can only be handled through collective bar
gaining. That is a good beginning. But COL
lective bargaining is not a cure-all Like any
other machinery, much depends upon the skill
with which it is operated In this case both
sides are inexperienced, the new union no less
than the employers.
Under the circumstances the Importance of
the labor board is enhanced. 1t will have to
supply much of the experience, wisdom and
patience. Unfortunately the board Of three is
not nonpartisan, as the employers desired.
The American Federation of Labor unwisely
insisted on union representation on the board
which in turn necesSitated a balancing rep
resentative of the employers. AS the votes of
the two partisans frequently will cancel each
other it is in effect a one-man board of ire
mendouS power.
Fortunately the President personally Sc
lected the one man in the country who seems
best fitted for this important and exceedingly
difficult job. DR.. Leo Wolman of Columbia
university is more than a leading academic
economist. For years he has been the adviser
of the progressive and effective union the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Since the
Wilson administration he has been called upon
often in one capacity or another to help the
government Under President Roosevelt he
was the first head of the national labor board
and from the beginning of NRA he has been
chairman of the labor advisory board. He has
achieved great deal there, defending labors
rights but not its faults
Chairman Wolman can not be controlled
either by the employers or by the A. F. of L.
but both sides respect his knowledge and in
tegrity If the companies and the union will
cooperate he can carry them a long way in
the delicate but profitable art of democratic
industrial relations.

Completing the Chaos

lawed companies may refuse to reorganize for
temporary bids and also refuse to let go of
their elaborate and costly equipment to a
competitor so long as the future is in doubt
That is the trouble with this new policy.
Il settles nothing. 1t insists on complete re-
organization of complicated industry for
period Of few weeks or months, with the GER
tainty that the new setup will be changed
again by congress very soon.
In fact the revised administration bill al
ready has been reported favorably by COM
mittee to the senate. After the prolonged dis
cussion and hearings of the last few weeks
there is no reason why congress should not
make up its mind in the next month as to the
future air mail system of the country Con-
gress changed our entire monetary standard
system and enacted the basic new deal legis-
lation in much shorter time than that
AS a matter of fact bids are not to be
received for three weeks under the temporary
Farley plan, and congress can have the perma-
nent plan ready by that time or soon after
And by that time the companies test case
challenging the legality of the cancellation
should be decided by the appellate court.
The only practicable method of reviving
temporary service is through the old COM
panies. Since the government holds that this
is illegal, the only sensible course is to hasten
court action on the cancellation dispute and
to hasten congressional action on the future
air mail system.
If the companies have to reorganize to get
valuable long term contracts under the coming
law, they probably will comply by electing
new financial officers and by naming their
expert advisers such as Colonel Lindbergh as
executive officers. But that would be very
different from flying into the night of Mr..
Farleys uncertain stop-gap contracts.
Whatever may be the best solution to this
now complicated problem it will not be found
in any more temporary improvised policies.

GOVERNMENT FINANCING OF
HOMELIFE is URGED

BY v. NJ. v.
1t is with good deal of interest
that read this department where
such variety of subjects come up
for discussion. I see Dillinger men
toned frequently and it is to be
regretted that some seem to admire
him. He may have ability as some
seem to think but it decidedly is
misdirected. However, when all the
hub-bub is over maybe some
worthwhile reforms will come out of
all of this.
Birth control is a topic frequently
discussed. Let me say I am the
mother of three grown sons and
understand all angles Of the situa-
ton. 1 used to favor it and think
it has its place when used judi
ciously. In these Gays of depression
birth control, no doubt, should be
resorted to, but have come to be-
lieve that it should be considered
from the angle of recovery.
On every hand one hears the de-
preston was caused by over
production, but is that where the
trouble is?
Foreign markets are largely closed
to us, so we must develop home
markets. One way is to increase
our population, for we have the ma
tional resources to support a vastly
increased population. But some way
must be found to finance young
people for marriage and rearing of
families to encourage increase in
population.
I do not advocate FaScism or Hit
lerism, but we could we'll copy some
notes from the notebook of Hitler
and MuSsolini. Russia. Germany
and Italy are doing everything they
can to encourage the growth of their
native population.
The rearing of children is ex-
penSive and gives stimulation to
business. Children. for long per-
iod of years, are consumers and not
producers. That is one of the main
reasons why people favor birth con-
troll.
If the government would pay a
certain amount to young people, for
marriage, and then provide hospi-
tai and medical care for the mother
and child we would hear less agi-
tation for birth control. After all
though it might appear to be costly
to the government, wouldn't it be
profitable in the long run?
We surely have some serious So
cia1 and economic problems to work
out in the days to come.

TT is hard to find any sense in the latest

utterly confused situation.

celed for alleged collision and also any
company which has an officer or director
who participated in such collision.
Apparently the purpose of this order is to
permit the involved companies to reorganize
with new directors and officers and to bid as
new companies. But this over-simplifies the
problem. It neither would achieve basic re-
form nor would itsfacilitate bidding by the old
companies under new names. Large corpora
tions can not be completely reorganized over
night in that fashion, certainly not and re-
tain any semblance of efficiency.
Even if those corporations could and

chance that they may get three months con-

There has been much talk of the posi-
bility of Mr.. Cord monopolizing the new con-
tracts because he did not participate in the
so-caIled Brown collision conference and be-
cause he easily could transfer the stock and
equipment of his company with Cancelled con-

We doubt that the postmaster general
would be unwise enough to permit one man
or one group to dominate the new set-up, even
if Mr.. Cord could obtain quickly the necessary
equipment to fly most of the air lines, which
is improbable.

That chance is Socialism. Capital

Capital has kept it down. How?
Through domination Of the press
capital has labeled Socialism every
atrocious name at its command.
Does the average laboring man get
anything but a capitalistic con-

Let's all look at Socialism with
an open mind. Let's see it for
what it really is, the only hope of
labor for fair share in what
rightfully belongs to it. Socialism
does not mean anarchy. 1t does
mean revolution, but only at the
polls. Remember we are the pro-

UNUSUAL CASES

A WOMAN walked into clergymans house

would like to be married on the single STAN
dard basis. Of course the bridegroom was
with her. rather surprised bridegroom who
decided that he didn't want to marry the
single-tracked lady after all, and went away,
the platinum band securely hidden in his vest
pocket.
OF course it was bad taste on the womans
part. She should have settled the matter of
special privileges before she signed her name
on the marriage license. Her mother should
have taught her, too. that men dislike being
embarrassed in public.
But just the same there is an inner core of
wisdom in the woman's action. She chose the

There is just so much time in any ones life

A man can't squander his affections over
large area and please particular woman any
more than he can spread a pound of butter
on one hundred loaves of bread. The affection
simply doesn't reach. 1t has to be spread so
thin that nobody gets very much.
There has been much talk recently of the
need of federal divorce law. After all. men
and women in Alabama are the same as those
in Maine. People even move from one state

Why not give the orders to some

WOMEN IN INDIANA

A CTIVITIES of Sheriff Lillian Holley, Of
Lake county, Indiana, and those of John
3. Worland alias Joe Weintraub Of st. Paul,
Ind. we're brought before the nation again
this week.
Mrs Walter Ferguson, writer for Scripps-
Howard and other newspapers, found ma
terial for daily columns in the two of In
dianas Page one news stories.
In dealing with Sheriff Holley Of Crown
Point, Mrs. Ferguson raps the gentlemen Of
Indiana and other states for their criticism
Of the woman sheriff.
She points out, in direct terms that there
are many of these boasting gentlemen who, so
far have failed to recapture Dillinger and
also calls attention to the fact that many
other criminals who have broken jais still
at large, although the officials at the scenes
of the crimes wore trousers.
Mrs. Ferguson defends Mrs. Holley to the
extent that we expect more of the few women
officers than we do of the men.
Mrs. Ferguson, however, draws one con-
clusion that we'll may be considered by au-
thorites who intend to appoint women to jobs
when she says
II is raJner stupid TO compete With
men in such a field. There always will be
plenty of work particularly fitted to the ma
ture of women That work women should do.
And when women or men attempt that which
is outside the scope of their natural ability,
they may expect to fail"
Worland, alias Weintraub is under grand
jury indictment here on a charge of en-
bezzlement by trick. He is alleged to have
swindled five women by proposing marriage
and then obtaining their money.
Mrs Ferguson says that pending trial on
the charges he is a scoundrel in the eyes of
all but she also points out that the woman
who takes" a man for his money through
marriage and subsequent alimony, is per-
mitted to continue her practice
Her point has been proven many times.
And her final thought in the article brings
forward an idea that might we'll be considered
by parents and educators. 1t is:

and girls should include course in common.
human fairness. The attitude of the sexes
toward each other still is far from being in

Indiana well may profit by this advice from

ready have had sufficient unfavorabe pub

structive effort.

like an ex-convict by the grocer
from whom he gets the basket?
One of the fellows in Wayne
