Standards are betng reduced to the

OF F. H. Fljozdal, President Of the
Brotherhood Of Maintenance Of Way
Employees, Dec. %, 1889. The prom
iseg of the MIRA. were the means of
attempting TO keep the workers from
resisting. while the Roosevelt regime,
through it's program of initiation and
lowering wage standards, helped the
capitalists increase their profits. The
Communists declared that the MIRA
was a step towards fascism, with the
A. F. of L. officialdom acting with
the government to smash strikes and
to destroy the workers rights to or
ganization and struggle.
Growing Discomfort
Mr.. Green. with his ear to the
workers ranks, hears the runlblings
Of rising strike struggles. The new,
more drastic initiation steps Of Roose-
welt digs deeply into the workers

The workers have noted that the
N.R.A. broth shrinks the stomach. II

il comes to the pay envelopes it bor-
ders on starvation.
The same Mr.. Green who helped
put over the N.R.A.. to serve it more
faithfully in the present situation of
the perspective of strike struggles,
finds it necessary to voice, in his
particularly shiny way, the tremen-
dous rising protest coming from the

In this manner, Green and the A.

selves to stem the rising strike wave,
and if this fails, to head them in

Just before the N.R.A. became law,
on Friday. May 10, 1888, Mr.. Green

PARENTS PROVIDE
F|NGERPR|NT FILE
Prepare to Identity Children
If Kidnapped for
Ransom.
BY REX COLLIER.

Taking a lesson from the Lindbergh
case, hundreds of parents have filed
with the Department of Justice the
f1ngerprints of their children for
Identification purposes in the event
they are kidnapped.
So large has the number of these
voluntarily recorded fingerprints be-
come that the Division of Investiga-
ton. nemesis of the kidnapper. has
established a special criminal
f1ngerprint file in its identification
unit here.
Thousand Classified.
More than 1000 fingerprints-not
all Of them of children-have been
placed in this group. properly indexed
and classified for instant reference in
case of an emergency. Included are
flngerprints and photographs of chill
dren and other members of the family
OF some of Americas most prominent
citizens. A few, it is understood,
were moved to take this precaution by
threats received, but most of those
who have filed the non criminal
flngerprints were merely following a
preparedness" creed.
The value Of fingerprints in kid
naping cases first became apparent
during the Lindbergh case and has
been emphasized in subsequent abduc-
tionS. Identification of the body of
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jr., was
made difficult because the only finger
prints of the child available were q
few indiStinct ones found on his nur-
sery crib and toys. The condition Of
the baby's body also was a handicap.
Two Uses Proved.
The Lindbergh case showed finger
prints can be Of aid in kidnapings in
two respects: First, as q means of
aScertaining authenticity of ransom
demands subsequent to the abduction.
and. second. as means of identifying
the body of the mutilated victim.
Col. Lindbergh repeatedly sought
some positive proof that he was deal
ing with the actual kidnapers of his
son when he was negotiating for pay
ment of the ransom, but his requests
for flngerprints or a snapshot were
in vain. Finally. in desperation, he
took a chance, only to find he was
being cruelty tricked.
The Lindbergh tragedy has convinced
authorities that families Of kidnapped
victims are foolish to pay ransom to
any one without first receiving def
mite proof they are dealing with the
real kidnapers. The best proof, they
say, is set Of f1ngerprints of the
person held prisoner. If the kidnap-
ers are acting in good faith in their
promises to surrender the victim on
payment of ransom, they can have no
possible objection to sending his fin
gerprints.
