Senator Royal S. Copeland of
New York, a physician as we'll
as member of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, believes the
Glenn Dale CMd) site is the
logical place for the much dis
cussed tuberculosis Hospital. He
has little regard for the argu-
ment that a mountain top is the
best place for such an institution.
Senator Copeland said:
"The first thing is to get
the patient to a place where
he can rest comfortably and
be free from the dust and dirt
of a city atmosphere. I
don't want to tell the authOri-
ties what they should do, but
1 suggest that they give care
full attention to the Glenn Dale
location for the new sana-
tOrium."

FLOWERS TO LABOR PRESS

The Hotel and Restaurant EMPLOYEES
and Beverage Dispensers Interna-
tional Alliance knows the immense
value of the labor press to the labor
movement, and frequently has empha-
sized that the labor press and it's ad-
vertisers are deserving of the whole
hearted support of every trade union
list. The recent convention of the
organization in Minneapolis, in fol-
lowing up praise of the labor press in
the past, said, in approving General
President Flores biennial report:
CAS- has been so ably stated by our
general president, we are deeply
indebted to the labor press for the

EMPLOYERS MAKE ANOTHER
WRONG GUESS

The board of directors of the Ma

is evidently looking for trouble. The
board has advised employers to ignore
the ruling Of the National Labor Re-

accept the majority rule in collective
bargaining with employers.
The majority rule was laid down by
the labor board in the case Of the
Houde Engineering Corporation Of

WHY WORRY?

There are only two reasons for
worry. Either you're successful or
you're not successful.
And if you're successful there's
nothing to worry about. If you're not
successful, there's only two things to
worry about-your health is either
good, or you're sick.
And if your health is good, there is
nothing to worry about, and if you're
sick-there's only two things to worry
about. You're either going to get
well or you are going to die.
If you're going to get well, there's
nothing to worry about; if you're not
going to get we'll, there's only two
things to worry about. You're either
going to heaven or you are not going
to heaven.
And if you are going to heaven
there's nothing to worry about; and il
you're going to the other place you'll
be so doggone busy shaking hands
with old friends you won't have time
to worry. So, why worry labor.

WAGES AND BABIES

Some years ago, the Children's
Bureau of the department of labor
studied the infant death rate in seven
cities, and found startling and very
close connection between family in
come and child mortality.
In families where the father earned
less than $3.50 a year, 167 babies out
of every 1000 born died before reach
ing the age of one year.
In families where the father earned
between $3.50 and $3.50 a year, 116
babies out of each 1000 died in their
first year.
But in families where the father
earned $1250 or more, only SO babies
out of each 1000 died before their
first birthday.
With those figures in mind, turn to
oOHiC OIIlcI iiSuISS just puDiiSHeu ny
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, tell
ing of the wages paid by textile mills
in May of this year Workers in cot
ton mills got $12.63 week. From that
the scale ranged upward until workers
in carpets and rugs averaged $l8.26
week. If they lost no time, cotton
mill workers would get $656.76 a year
and carpet makers $949.32.
In other words, none of these tex
tile workers got enough incomes tc
give babies coming to the family a
reasonable hold on life And the actual
receipts are decidedly lower than these
figures, because of part time.
What civilized county can be con-
tented when one of his big and basic
| industries is managed like that?

REVIVAL IN BUILDING
INEVITABLE

In a recent article in the Annalist
Walter Renton ingalls, says that the
nations residential building between
1920 and 1929 was not in excess
of requirements. Even though the
high average total of 100000 new
residences were erected each year
changes in population density, in
creases in total population, and OBJ
solescence of old dwellings,, prevented
overproduction Of housing.
Since 1929, residential building has
dropped from 100000 homes year,
to less than 100000.
The shortage is especially acute in
rural districts, inasmuch as depres-
sion forced an exodus from

cities to the farm. Also, the rural
homes offer the greatest field for
raising the standard of housing
through introduction of labor saving
conveniences.
It seems inevitable that the United
States, within the comparatively near
future. will witness heavy increases in
building and remodeling.

THE WIND BLOWETH

A number of straws cast to the wind
during the past several days begin to
show from what direction it bloweth.
And from all indications, the signs
portend squall as far as NRA is
concerned.
First came the formation of the
American Liberty League, with the
ostensible purpose of maintaining the
constitution and the sacred right of
private property. Then there was the
announcement by the automobile in
dustry that it may not seek the con-
tinuation of its code when the present
one expires. Third was the fat-footed
rejection on the part of employers in
the cotton garment industry of the
presidents order to reduce hours and
increase wages for the workers en-
ployed by them. Finally comes the
news that the Cotton Textile Institute
absolutely refused to confer with the
National Labor Relations Board on
the grievances of the textile workers
before nation wide strike is called.
All of these straws show that the
wind of self-assurance on the part of
the biggest employers has brought
them in combination to fight the NRA
at every opportunity.
President Roosevelt's task, in view
of this plain rebellion against the
policies of his administration, is very
simple, if he wants to succeed where
Hoover failed His duty is to ride
rough-shod over the stubborn bour-
bonism of these reactionary employers
and use every bit of power and infu-
ence of his office to have the prin-
ciples he SO many times expressed as
essential for recovery accepted by
them.

decision. He could see that he would
have to make five discards.
If he discarded down to the blank
ace of spades, the declarer would be
able to make an end play on him
and force him to lead away from his
king of clubs, and if he discarded
spades, the declarer would imme-
diately know that he was trying to
protect the clubs. So Mr.. Frank
realized that his only chance to de-
feat the contract was to out-think
the declarer.
His first discard was a small club.
Another diamond was played by the
declarer and without moments
hesitation, Mr. Frank discarded his
kother small club, blanking down to
the bare king. OF course, on the re-
manning diamonds, he discarded
spades, but in discarding the clubs,
as he did, he gave the declarer a
false picture of his hand.
Naturally, the declarer would not
figure Mr.. Frank for banking his
king of clubs, so the finesse was
taken in clubs and when Mr.. Frank
won with the king, he cashed the
remainder of the tricks, setting the
contract two tricks.
