NATURE CAN PROVIDE

lust as we got used to the idea of persuad-
~ ing farmers to grow fewer crops, along
comes Mother Nature to accomplish the same
job by force.
Dust storms and drought put peculiar
reversal on the schemes of the triple-A gen.
tlemen at Washington. Into the most modern
of agricultural programs comes agriculture's
most ancient blight. The oldtime scarcity
economics energies from the dust bin to
crouch over the farm belt once more
And as all this happens the price of wheat
goes rocketing on the Chicago exchange.
Somebody is going to get rich out of this dis
aster; and it won't be the farmer, either.
Where does all this leave our farm pro-
gram? When a nation sets out to cope with
a problem arising from too bountiful sup
ply of everything, and the supply is suddenly
cut short beyond all expectations, what then?
Are we right back where we were gen.
Grafton ago. before the embarrassing pro-
ductivity Of the modern world landed us in
the soup?
we are not and we should make a great
mistake if we thought so. The farm catas-
trophe is like one of those exceptions that
prove the rule
It opens gap in our immediate program,
but it leaves the long-range problem un-
changed
In agriculture as in industry, our real trou-
BILE is that we don't know now to act in the
presence of abundance.
And this is something that can not be re-
peated too often; for its implications are of
tremendous Importance.
1t would be good thing if the people
learned to chant it like a chorus, over and
over again-the world can produce so much
that everybody can have enough of every
thing. For this is the fact with which all
political schemes and all economic theories
collide, sooner or later.
Beyond the reach of bad weather and
bankruptcy, strikes and layoffs, it emerges as
the one great significant development of the
twentieth century.
Keep that fact eternally in mind, and when
any pubcist, statesman, or economist begins
to tell you what we must do to be saved ask
him, What do you propose to do about that?"
If he has no answer for it, he has no answer
for anything.

STILL UP IN THE AIR!

GAY one thing for the airship it at least
~ provides military and aviation experts with
plenty of material for argument.
The Macon INDUCES in maneuvers with the
United States fleet in the Caribbean, and is
theoretically destroyed" by hostile forces.
Immediately one faction announces that the
military usefulness of the airship is disproved
completely-and another says with equal heat
that the reverse is true, since the Macon dis
closed the position of the hostile fleet before
being destroyed.
So now the old argument is up again, and
it probably won't get settled for many day.
The airship is triumph of invention and
beautiful thing to look at-but what is it really
good for?
Take either side you like you'll find plenty
of people to differ with you in either case.

era was worked out; the continent was filed
up. the period when free-and-easy exploitation
was desirable had ended.
The Job remaining to be done was just as
big as ever, but the method of doing it had
changed.
AL that is happening to US right now Is
that we are fumbling around for the new
method Of doing the job. We have plenty of
work ahead of us-enough to keep US busy
for century. The continent is as rich as
ever, the people are as energetic and as deter
mined as ever.
The great American dream-that in this
land men shall be freer and happier than
they have been elsewhere-is still as posi-
bic of realization as it ever was.
Beneath the seeming confusion of today is
a rising determination that We shall go for
ward and help make the dream come true.

MURDER AND SEARCH

WEEKS after the murder of Bert F. CAL
w lahan Indianapolis real estate man, per-
sons working in his North Illinois street apart
ment yesterday found the ring and watch
which police had believed were stolen.
On the basis that the jewelry had been
taken from the slain man, the police depart
ment announced robbery probably was the
chief motive for the Staying.
However, discovery of the articles dust
covered on top of medicine cabinet, suddenly
changed the police theory. Now it is the
opinion of the officers that some personal rea-
son must have been the real motive for the
Staying.
While these theories have been passed back
and forth, more than six weeks have elapsed.
Much might have been done toward finding
real clews in the case if the jewelry had been
found and the robbery motive discarded i'm
mediately.
In the future it might be well for Indian
apols police officers to make thorough
searches of premises where crimes have been
committed such procedure might be of some
help in solving mysteries of this sort.

STATE HEALTH POLICY
CHANGE CONDEMNED
By A Citizen.

BY Citizen.
The proclamation written by Gov
ernor McNutt for Mothers day was
very sweet in sentiment, but would
have had more force had he not,
over the objections Of practically
every progressive woman's organi-
cation in the state, abolished the
state health department, which had
devoted years of work to the health
and welfare of mothers and chill
dren.
The child hygiene division was
abolished as an economy move. In
these times of stress and readjust-
ment during or after the depression,
it is a nationally known fact that
the health Of children especially
has suffered, and it seems to be
a poor time to curtail funds for
this phase of work. Governor Nc
Mutt is a school man. interested

portance of spreading information

SECTION IA AND
COMPANY UNIONS
By arnold Nahand

BY arnold Nahand.
A cardinal principle of Section IA
is, that employees, as a condition
of employment, shall not be COM
PEELED to join a company union. "
Yet the Real Silk management
blatantly proclaims that strikers
may make application for employ
ment through the E. M. B. A. You
can not convince mere onlookerS
that the company union will act
upon any application at any time
without receiving an expression of
allegiance from the applicant.
Labor leaders are chuckling at
the old games played upon gullible
employers under the name of Asso-
ciated Business Builders, P. o. Box
1894.
The business builders. with full
page ads, attempt to fill business
men with unwarranted fears and
bugaboo and invites communication,
of course, for the cause. Get the
idea?
This little joke upon business men
also has a serious side, in that this
anonymous advertiser assails every
union leader in the city.
The American Federation of La
Dor union on the Peoples Motor
coach property won government
supervised vote but was generous and
cooperative enough to allow the
company union to remain. A bona
fde organization does not fear COM
petition. What about the E. M. B.
A: at Real Silk? Afraid to meet
opposition?

BOOTLEG BENEFITS

A COMPARISON of the liquor rates of to-
day with pre-prohibition rates discloses
how little can be accomplished through the
medium of the reciprocal tariff bill, unless it
is amended
Low-priced and higher quality liquors are
admittedly what the legal liquor industry
needs to compete with the bootleg industry.
The supply of good legal liquor in this coun-
try is extremely limited and therefore high in
price Many years will be required to build
up an adequate supply of matured domestic
liquors. Meanwhile, prices will remain high
unless the stocks of palatable liquors in other
countries are allowed to enter the American
market.
The present tariff on spirits is IS a gallon.
If reduced so per cent. it would be $3.50 gall
lon. The pre- prohibition rate was $3.50 GAL
lon. Present and pre-prohibition tariffs on
wines and other liquors compare on about the
same ratio.
The present rates, provided in the Smoot-
Hawley tariff law of 1880. are prohibition
embargo rates. They never were intended to
be merely protective rates. If reduced by half
the rates will be about the same as those in
effect before prohibition. But import records
show that the re-prohibition rates were prac-
tically embargo rates.
There are two things the senate can do
to the pending tariff bill that will insure lower
prices and higher quality liquors for the Amer
lean market
An amendment restoring the pre-prohibition
rates, and then giving the President the pow
er to use a so per cent lever on those rates;
or an amendment empowering the President
to make any reduction he wants to make in
LIQUOR tariffs, even to the point Of placing
liquors on the free list until prices are driven
down and bootlegging abolished.

FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1884.
LABOR WAR OR PEACE?

CTRIKES, sometimes violent, are spreading
over the country. Labor is impatient and
many employers are evading the NRA
On the waterfronts of Pacific coast ports
thousands of striking longshoremen and their
syrnpathizers are tying up vessels loaded with
perishable wealth. In the red ore mines Of
Birmingham, the silk mills right here, the
packing houses of Chicago, the copper smelt
ers Of Montana, the auto factories of De-
troit working men are striking or threaten
ing to strike over questions of wages, hours
union recognition, or discrimination Their
numbers are increasing.
There is a better way to settle these dis
putes than costly, hate breeding labor wars
We think the Wagner labor disputes bill, now
before congress, offers a better way.
Just as the law courts provide orderly
means for settling disputes among individuals
and corporations so this measure offers en-
ployers and workers the opportunity for order
~ adjustment Of differences. 1t would clarity
the disputed fair bargaining practices guar
anteed by the recovery act. 1t would create
as a permanent statutory court, the national
labor board, originally set up by executive
order and provide for appeals from its decision
to the federal courts of law.
Handicapped as it has been through its
stormy career the national labor board has
proved its worth in a period of social dis
order It's records show that from its creation
last August until May l, the national board
and its twenty regional boards heard 3211
cases of strikes or threatened strikes. OF these,
2,447 strikes either we're settled or averted.
More than 100000 men were returned to
work or kept at work. The cost of keeping
these men on the job was about IA cents man.
The principle of real collective bargaining
is recognized in several laws, including sec
ton IA of the recovery act But it needs
Qualification. What is needed even more is
permanent machinery for making such bar
gaining honest and effective. This is the dou-
bic purpose of the Wagner bill
America is adult enough now to offer indus
trial disputants the way of peace.
If congress adjourns without doing this 1t
will leave employers and labor largely at the
mercy of chance or passion. That is not the
recovery road.

BIG HAPPY FAMILY"
AND WAGE CUTS

BY Real Silk Knitter.
Mr.. Goodman has made speeches
many times and perhaps you can re-
call that he said We were Just one
big, happy family
Then why was it that he gave the
knitters a Is per cent raise and the
other departments nothing in COM
parison? Was it because he liked
us better than the other members of
his so-called family? Indeed not.
He knew there is union for knit
tiers and hoped the raise would avert
a strike.
We are not striking for unreason-
able wages as some have said. We
are striking for wages that IS per
cent Of the hosiery mills in the
United States are paying. I can not
see anything unfair in that.
Doesn't it seem strange that Mr..
Goodman in some of his speeches
has been quoted as saying, IF the
hosiery mills pay high wages, I only
will be too glad to do the same, but
Real Silk is paying more than the
average"
He also made a speech to knitters,
the third time we received 10 per
cent cut. and told us that before
any dividends were paid to the
stockholders he would pay us back
our last cut. A dividend was de-
clared but not one word was said
about our money.

NTHEN the history of these times gets

Last Sunday the tennis courts in

The courts at Riverside particu-
larry resembled a National Guard
artillery drill field. 1t may seem
possible that the matter had es-
capped attention of park board mem
bers, but it was forcibly brought
out that they had seriously deliber-
ated the subject of tennis, as all
park men received definite instruc-
tons Saturday as to the proper sort
of apparel to be permitted on the
courts. incidentally, why can't In

This is in answer to the par4
