HUMANITY RIGHTS FIRST

In pointing out that the shorter

NRA has been blessing to women
workers. Mary Anderson. director Of
the United States Women's Bureau,
emphasized the industry has neglected
to count losses due to wear and tear
on human beings, though it has al
ways carefully considered the cost Of
wear and tear on machines.
This policy of industry must be
changed to make the New Deal all
that it's name implies. 1t is a policy
that has been one of the chief causes
of industrial unrest and trouble. 1t is
the old idea that rights of property
are superior to the rights of human

in any truly civilized society and
when it dies, civilization will be the
gamer.
