TWO FIRMS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The

mendations of the National Labor Re-

WILL DEFEND THE CON-
STTTUTION

The American Liberty League, Ito
defend and uphold the constitution of
the United States" has been formed,
and Jouett Shouse, former democratic
leader, is at the head of it, with
many nationally known big wigs of
the republican and democratic parties
supporting the new league. 1t is no.
ticeable that none of the New Deal
panaceas are acceptable to the league.
Speaking at Jackson, "Under the
Oaks Senator Arthur H. Vanden-
berg said: I speak of the inevitable
implications of system, wholly new
to America, under which the spirit
of the constitution is Knocked and
mangled."
Evidently, the senator is unmindful
of the fact that republican presidents
have, for the most part, sustained the
constitutionality of the measures
sponsored by President Roosevelt
and enacted into law by the democratic
congress.
Says Patrick O'Brien, attorney gen
eral of Michigan, "while it is the duty
of the courts to protect and defent
the constitution of the United States
think that henceforth they will bt
compelled to look upon the constitu
tion of the United States and the con
stitution of the several states as
heritage of principles designed to pro
mote the general welfare, rather thar

torted to support the domination O.

The New Deals advocated princi
pies of the superiority of human right
over property rights, supposedly, d,
not merit the approval of the newl,
formed American Liberty League

SHORTER HOURS, HIGHER
WAGES

The NRA Labor Advisory Board is
more firmly than ever convinced of
the validity of organized labor's claim
that code hours must be shorter and
wages higher in order to provide jobs
for millions of the unemployed and
increase the ability of the workers to
expand their buying power of COM
modities and services.
Before the staff of the national ad-
ministration four members of the Ad-
visory Board informed the officials
of labor's reasoned conclusion that
a years experience with the Blue
Eagle had proved the imperative need
of higher wages and shorter hours
than those in existing codes. The Ad-
visory Board members who addressed
the NRA officials were DIR. Gustav
Peck, Miss Rose Schneiderman,
Father Francis J. Haas and Sidney
Hillman.
Mr.. Hillman's contention was that
the work week should be reduced to
at least 35 or SO hours-contending
that a years experience had proved
labor right and industry wrong about
working hours and wages as a means
of fostering recovery.
Father Haas proclaimed the pur-
poses of the recovery law, pointing
especially to it's declaration in favor of
increasing purchasing power. He said
this could be done by boosting wages
and shortening hours.
1t would be fine thing for the sta
bilization of economic relations if
those who own and control industry
would recognize once and for all the
inevitability of shorter hours and
higher pay and adjust their businesses
to this permanent plan. One impor-
tant element in the problem of in
dustrial relations would be settled
if they would do this, and tell Gus
sumers, stockholders, bond owners,
and every other interested party that
the policy of higher wages and
shorter work week will be the per-
manent policy upon which every other
policy must rest.

The third phase is characterized by
the fact that an increasing percent
age of American farmers are learning
the doctrine that "he who helps him
self is helped last" They are real
izing that the way to stability and
prosperity, is through determined, CO.
hesive effort by the farmers them
selves.
The farmers weapon in this work is
the cooperative 1t is not subject to
political considerations-it does not
change in purpose and direction with
shift in the political power. 1t is
responsive to his needs, and he and
his fellow-members make its policies.
1t does not represent a temporary
effort to bring relief-it represents
long-term planning, in which the larg-
er issues are kept always in view.
1t is not an exaggeration to say
that. fine as the work of co-ops has
been in the past, their period of great
est achievement still lies in the future.

TWO KINDS OF TAXES

The Saturday Evening Post is
weeping grindstone tears over the tax
burdens of automobiles. Municipal,
state and federal governments get a
total of s1,137, ,782, 900 a year from
automobile sources according to the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. This, the Post says, is
wrong, wicked, Oppressive" and
likely to tax to death an industry
which keeps money in circulation. y
The sum named is huge one, and
all taxing matters should be taken
seriously. But the Post might have
found still more impressive figures of
collections that, in substance, were a
tax, though not so in theory; and this
larger tax was paid to private indi-
viduals.
In 1929, 513 super-rich men report
ed net incomes totalling $1,212, 100000
This is the sum on which these men
paid income tax-and remember that
thousands of lawyers make an excel
lent living by showing rich men how
to dodge taxes They did not earn
thiS-no one who values good sense
would say that the personal services
of these men were worth anything ap-
preaching such sum. They simply
had the ability, the ruthlessness and
the luck to take personal advantage
of the industrial, financial and polit-
ical setup which prevailed at that
time, and which, by the way, was
entirely satisfactory to the Saturday
Evening Post.
When the going was good in those
days Of normalcy, handful Of private
individuals collected $74,000,000 more
in profits than all the governing agen-
cies of the United States were able
to collect in taxes from one of it's
biggest industries.
Most of the money collected from
the auto industry by public agencies
is spent in building and maintaining
the roads of which automobiles are
the chief users.
Most of the money collected as q
private tax to the 513 disappeared
from the ordinary markets where
goods and services are sold. So few
men cannot spend such a sum, nor
any large fraction of it, in ways
which help ordinary business. Part
of this money was invested, used te
enlarge plants which already could
produce more than the people could

LABOR ON THE MARCH

The San Francisco convention gave
proof that the American Federation
of Labor is an organization which
readily adapts itself to changing
times and conditions. In every action,
the convention demonstrated labor's
ability and willingness TO do the right
thing at the right time.
The conventions entire program.
from it's advocacy of the 30-hour week
to it's endorsement of the industrial
form of unionism for the mass pro-
duction industries, showed American
labor is in line with the trend of the
times and looks toward the future
not the past. 1t was labor on the
march, with it's face toward better
and happier world Reelection OF
President William Green and the ex-
ecutive council, together with the ad-
dition of other veteran labor execu-
tives to the council, was a guarantee
that labor will continue to press for
ward
All in all, the record of the conven-
ton was complete refutation of the
charge of it's radical" critics that
American labor is unable to change as
conditions charge.

AGRICULTURE THREE PHASES


Agriculture has been undergoing
three distinct phases Of development.
One came with depression, when
prices dropped to rockbottom, and
there didn't seem to be single bright
spot on the horizon.
Another came with governmental
relief efforts. These are still going
on, but the farmer has discovered
that the legislative power, no matter
how segressively used, cannot alone
solve all his problems and bring him
peace and plenty.

McCOH Is Effective.

DOTH sides did lot of larruping
u in the engagement Each
cracked down for a dozen hits.
But Johnny Broaca. as he hurled to
victory against the Nationals for the
second time this season. never per-
nitted the clouts to be clustered
dangerously. And that was something
the Washington pitchers did not do.
Walter Stewart opened fire against
the New Workers. and it was this left
handler who took the punishment
dished up by Gehrig. Walter worked
through six sessions, and eight of the
Bronx bangs we're at his expense. Bob
Kline followed for an inning. and did
about everything but pitch. Then
Alec McColl did his daily stunt, to
yield nothing more than a solitary
single. The old gentleman, after all,
has much on many others of the
Washington curving corps.
The Cronin chuckerS simply couldn't
keep Gehrig off the runway in the
series starter. The big boy collected
two singles in addition to his brace
of four-base bans in four trips to
the batting block The only Wash
ington pitcher Gehrig didn't hit was
McColl. And he never had shot at
old Alec.
The Nationals leaped upon Broaca
for a marker right off the reel. A
double by Stone and a single by
Manush turned the trick in the first
frame. Then Cronin got on when
chuck from Saltzgaver reached second
base too late to force out ManuSh,
But Travis struck out and Schultz
hoisted harmlessly. After that the
Nationals waited a long time to find
the plate, although it took fancy
piece of fielding by Babe Ruth to keep
them away from it in the third.

The new champion knocked Schaat
unconscious, but the fight went the
full distance. Schmeling was mud
ding around in vertical po-
sition when his battle with Baer came
to close. Mr.. Dempsey, on the other
hand. did a complete job on Carpen-
tier. Firpo. Fulton, Brennan and sew
eral others There was rapid anes-
thetic quality about his punching that
the Livermore megsphone never has
shown against major opponents.
You hear the new champ compared
with Firpo in many of the fight Sa-
Ions these days. l don't think Baer
would have lasted any longer against
Dempsey than the Wild Bull did, if
he undertook the same sort of toe-to-
toe Slugging match. I doubt If he
can hit any harder than Firpo, and
1 doubt if he can take a punch any
better.
So, with all the usual acknowledge
ments. respects and obeisances to Mr..
Dempsey, consider that he is letting
his sales talk run away with him
when he calls Mr.. Baer harder hit
ter and a greater champion than he
was. Mr.. Dempsey is talking right
through the crown Of his kelly. and I
wish he would stop it.

YANKEE LARRUPER
MAKES HITS TELL
Drives Home Seven TaIIies,
Knocks Griffmen Into
Second Division.
BY JOHN r. KELLER,
EtsH CorreS0oDdept of The star

n IEW YORK, July 6.-Maior
n league base balls leading
hitter is with the Ma
tionalS, but the best man
at busting over runs is with the
Yankees. And. after all. it's runs
that tell in the great American
paStime.
Heinie Manush may smack all the
hits he can, yet he wouldn't compare
in effectiveness and in all-arOund help
to his club to Lou Gehrig.
The bulky Gehrig put On one-man
show here yesterday as the Nationals
cracked open fourgame series with
the league leading Yanks that had
the Capital clansmen falling out of
their fourth position into the second
section of the American League.
The Nationals took an 8-to-3 past
ing on the Bronx battlefield. and it was
Larruping Lou who socked over all but
a solitary tally of the New York score
total. He helped himself to his
twenty second and twenty-third home
runs of the season With his first
homer he accounted for four runs,
with his second two. And in his last
turn at bat he singled to knock over
the last Yankee run.
With this busting German boy in
such fine fettle. the Nationals never
had a chance yesterday as they strug-
gled with the Yanks. And that de-
spite two homerS hit by batterS with
in their ranks Both Buddy Myer
and lark Stone lifted the hall into the
right-feld bleachers, the favorite
parking space for four-base blows in
Col. Ruppert's big ball plant. but no
one was aboard when these luSty
Wallops were delivered by Nationals.
