BUSINESS MEN SCORED
FOR WORKERS TREATMENT
Rx Henr4 E. Hall.

BY Henry 4. Hail.
Perhaps some one can aid me re-
garding this code which most of our
business men have pledged to abide
by, and are so eager to display to
prospective customers; leading that
unsuspecting victim to unravel this
mess, when in reality they are only
using his banner to increase their
sales, and the slaves who are be-
hind the scenes are not even taken
into consideration.
In every case have in mind the
men are working longer hours and
receiving less money than they did
| before the MIRA was inaugurated.
The reason they don't sqUawk is be-
cause they have families depending
upon that measly pittance to keep
them from starving to death. Con-
sequently, these INSCRIPTIONS leech-
es, who by no stretch Of the imagi-
nation can be put on level with the
Dillinger gang, go uneXposed.
Dilllinger and Pierpont are Sum-
day school teachers in comparison
to these vultures, who wait until a
man is at the very portals Of star
walton, then hire him for starvation
wages to put their rotten business in
the big profit class.
Let's hear from some of these
NRA violators. if they have the
nerve to protest an expose.
May I add, in conclusion, that
Mr.. Webster has no words that de-
scribe this particular type of snake.

DEMANDS TO KNOW
ABOUT DEMAND CHARGE

BY Times Reader.
1 read a letter written by A. L. S.
about the 63-cent light company de-
mand charge and would like to add
my bit to having this demand charge
investigated.
I live between two families. One
has lived there two years and didn't
pay the demand charge, the other
four years and has been paying 63
cents ever since it came into effect.
The light company told me that
old residents who lived here before
they started this demand charge
didn't have to pay it. Seemingly,
the light company doesn't live up
to its own rules, because both par
ties lived here before it started. I
think if one has to pay all should,
but why should any OF us have to
pay that demand charge? Only the
light company charges it.
don't care whether this is print
ed or not. All want to know is
why the demand charge to some and
not to others, and why a demand
charge at all?

Mr.. Simmons, your statement in
The Times was a very poor one.
For one thing, you said that Mr..
Baker is the judge. It seems as
though you are the judge, or want
to be. For another thing, you do
not know the conditions of this
man as I happen to know him and
know his condition, also. I am not

IT would be well for US in Indiana to watch
L the moves of Senator George w. Norris for
a unicameral legislature in Nebraska.
Senator Norris, famed for his Progressive
Leadership, thinks his plan should be tried
He proposes that Nebraska elect a single
legislative body of from 30 to so members to
serve two years.
He declares that every state in the union
is not ready for unicameral legislative bodies
but he does think that the Nebraska people
are ready for it. We in Indiana should watch
History may be in the making in Nebraska
and we might want to follow suit.

RED MOON

BY VIRGINIA KIDWELL
Alone we're we in the black Of the
night
When down at the foot of the sky
Rose the edge Of a large red moon
in sight
And We watched it climbing high.
Closely and tenderly held to you.
Cheek pressed to mine you said,
Want it? III go get it now for
YOU"
But I smiled and shook my head.
You are my moon and my stars,
said I,
you are the world TO me-"
And the wise old moon found q
cloud in the sky
And your lips In the dark found
me.

Fatal Folly of Air Mails

has been abjectly surrendered
to it by the Congress Of the
United States in the last II
months. 1t has been under the
guise Of emergency that we
have seen, one after another,
powers delegated to the Congress
of the United States by the
people of the United States in
their Constitution, shorn away"
Within a few hours the brave
man who raised his voice in sup
port of his sincere convictions
and in obedience to the dictates
of a clear conscience was called
to his eternal reward. But this
House will not soon forget the
rebuke it received at the hands
of a dying member.
Mrs. Greenway's Logic
The other speech made in the
House last week which will out
live it's every member was made
by a woman, a widow Of a vet
eran of the war with Spain and
of the Great War.
This speech also was made
with deep feeling and in turn
left upon the House a profound
impression. This was the speech
of Mrs. Isabella GreenWay, Rep
resentative in Congress from
Arizona. Republicans united
with Democrats in that State to
elect her to Congress. She was
an intimate friend of Theodore
Roosevelt and his family. She
is the most intimate friend in
public life of the Roosevelt
family now in the White House.
Before coming to Congress
Mrs. Greenway operated an air
line left her by her husband.
And here is what she said in
support of her vote against the
bill to abolish the Federal Air
mail service which has become
the eighth wonder of the world
and to compel the Army to
operate it for a year.
81 voted against the pass
age of this bill because I
think the last week has
proved, without reflecting on
either the pilots or the Army.
that the Army planes as such
are not equipped to carry
mail at this time, and I think
that it might be better to Sus-
pend the air mail until the
equipment is adequate rather
than run a hazardous SER
vice."
For concise and logical argu-
ment and for effective elo-
quence this brief speech of Mrs.
Greenway has not been equalled
in either House of Congress at
this session. The reason it has
not been refuted is because it
is irrefutable.

CAMERA-SHY

ISOLATION, who has been badly
cut by a sabre of the Guarde Re.
publicane, is posing for the
camera with all the sincerity in
the world. He is the only legiti-
mate figure in the group. A self
appointed mentor has his hand
on the victims shoulder, and is
apparently delivering a speech
to the camera, down-stage as far
as he can get and in what is
known in the movies as a med
ium closeup"
Between the two stands a
citoyen in a beret, full-face and
composed, in an attitude usu-
ally reserved for cabinet pho
tographs of a wedding group.
A blonde lady is smiling charm
ingly into the camera, while
behind her is a bearded gentle
man standing on tip-toe and
straining every muscle to get
into the historic scene, al
though he seems, from his ex-
preston, to think that it is a
reunion of the Glass of 1904
at Revere Beach.

camera pretty seriously, and

Few and far between are the
sessions of Congress in which
either house listens, in a single
week, to two speeches that live
long after all the Senators or
Representatives who heard them
have retired from public life or
the earthly scene.
Two such speeches were made
in the House last week. Both
were addressed to the cruel fate
that has befallen our Defenders
with the Colors who fly the
Colors, the passengers, and The
mails.
Costs Hooper's Life
One of these speeches cost the
life of the Representative in
Congress who made it. This was
the speech of Congressman
Hooper, of Michigan, who was
seized with a heart attack after
returning from the House floor
to his office and died a few
hours later.
The question before the House
was the proposal to authorize
the Army Air Corps to fly the
Federal mail for a year, upon
the ground that national
emergency existed. Mr.. Hooper
said:
Il rise for two purposes. One
Is to say that, no matter what
may be the outcome of the stu
alton which has brought this
bill upon the floor of the House,
nothing will tarnish or dimin-
iSh the fame of Americas best
and most popular citizen
Charles A. Lindbergh."
Here the House noted the
deep feeling with which this
tribute was offered to an Ameri-
can hero whose traducers in
both houses of Congress will live
to rue the day that they ever
stopped so low. And the earnest
ness with which Mr.. Hooper
spoke no less than the truth
of his words brought from those
members on both sides of the
aisle, who are ashamed of the
unjustifiable attack made upon
Colonel Lindbergh, tremendous
applause.
Then Mr.. Hooper continued:
"The other thing that / rose
to say is that / am glad that
the committee which brought
out this bill had the good sense
and the good taste to strike out
of it the words the present

gency, manufactured deliberate

AS the effort to obtain decent treatment for the men
and women who work for Uncle Sam nears an end,
which is believed will be successful the attempt to
make political capital out of the pay restoration issue
is being renewed.
SUCH TACTICS CANNOT BE SUFFICIENTLY
DEPLORED.
Attempts are being made to induce members of Con-

ground that they will obtain political advantage by
such vote.
