BAD NEWS FOR FASCISM

A RECENT news cable from London asserts
that the newly organized British Fascist
party is now believed to have fully 100000
ardent and disciplined members Originally
looked upon as more or less of a Joke. this
party not long ago won the support of the
great newspaper baron, Lord Rothermere; as
a result, it is beginning to cast long shadow
across British politics, and leaders in other
parties are beginning to get worried.
AS it happens, news of this growth in
British Fascism reached here at about the
same time as did news that Britain is at last
winning its fight with the depression.
Taxes are being reduced, aid to the unem-
ployed is being increased, the government has
a stable surplus, and prosperity, at last, seems
10 be just around the corner.
And that probably, will puncture this
growing bubble of Fascism For Fascism is a.
philosophy Of desperation.
Men turn to it when they are convinced
mat only drastic measures will avert a great
smaShup Let good times return. and if is
apt TO drop out of sight of its own weight.

FOR FAIR PLAY

NEWS that President Roosevelt is standing
firm for passage of the Wagner labor
disputes bill at this session will please the
constructive elements of both capital and
labor. They know that, lacking a permanent,
statutory and fair tribunal to which man
agement and workers may appeal there is left
only the old way of strikes and lockouts, vio-
lence and class war.
Details of the pending measure are being
worked over by a group, including Labor
Secretary Perkins, NRA Chief Counsel Donald
Richberg, Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins
and Senator Wagner. Their caliber gives as
Surance that the essentials of honest reform
will not be lost. Reports are to the effect that
powers of the National Labor Board are to
be strengthened rather than weakened
The building of strong appeal board is
crucial at this time. In the wake of former
depreSsons labor disputes have been violent,
frequent and disruptive. Had short-sighted
employers succeeded in bullying congress into
shelving the Wagner bill we would face unre-
strained industrial warfare.
AS with other Roosevelt reforms this pro-
poSal is neither new nor radical. 1t simply
lays down fair rules of the game. When these
rules are accepted by both sides the game will
proceed with fewer sluggings and foul plays

ANOTHER DEFENDER

THE RAILWAY SETTLEMENT

COMMON sense and justice have settled the
railroad wage controversy.
The restoration of the 10 per cent deduction
from basic pay scales, finally agreed to by the
arrangements. is in accord not only with the
recovery program, but also with the railroads
Increased earnings.
Labor and executives have agreed that 2I4
per cent shall be restored on July of this
year; o. per cent more on Jan. l. of next
wear, and the remaining per cent April l.

This is very much better than the
President apparently hoped for. because at the
outset he told the two conflicting forces that
the wage controversy must be postponed for
at least six months. the 10 per cent deduction
to continue for that time. He gave no direct
encouragement to restoration even after that
except in case the progress of his recovery
program permitted.
SO this is. indeed. victory for cool-headed
negotiations in which both sides made
sacrifices IN the interest of national recovery.

Success and Suicide of Karl Dane

1t is only natural when man
is accustomed to having plenty
of money at his command and ev-
erything that money will buy,
and loses it, an immense amount
of courage is required to face the
facts and bulldog tenacity to hold
on for better days.
If man is making 100000
year and spends more than he
makes, he certainly is digging his
own grave.
There must be a day Of &C
counting and when he finds him
self on the wrong side Of the
ledger he should mend his ways.
Therefore, in my estimation, 1T
is not a question of whether Karl
Dane would have been happier If
he had not made a success, but
the primary feature is to know
how to take care Of your money
while the going is good. If he had
done this he would not have been
reduced to poverty and committed
suicide. The moral is take care
of your money properly after max
ing it..

case I think you have missed the
most salient feature.
It was not the fault of sue

commit suicide, but the fact that
he was imprudent in making in
vestments or throwing his money
away like a spendthrift If he had
taken care of it properly. he could
have lived in luxury for the rest
of his life.
It was stated in a certain paper
that he had made $1,000 a week
for long period of time. II that
money had been properly invested
and he had lived a reasonable
life he could lived for good many
years in all probability, and in
luxury.
In this case he evidently could
not stand prosperity when he was
making real money and did not
know how to take care Of it.

GOODMAN, NOT E. M. B. A.,
SETTLED DISPUTE.

BY Two Real silk Strikers.
We read an article in the Message
Center from a Seamer unfolding
the E. M. B. A. and telling how fair
and square it is.
Now, we'll tell you of case that
happened in the boarding depart
ment that was neither fair nor
square.
Several boarding machines were
sent back here from Dalton, Ga,
Men were operating these machines
in Georgia, but when brought here
the company decided to put women
on them. SO they took bunch of
girls off of women's hose and put
them on these sock machines. Sock
machine boarding is by no means
woman's job. They we're told that
if they didn't like it they could go
home.
These girls tried it for six or eight
weeks and went home every night
with their hands bliStered and their
muscles so sore they couldn't sleep.
Then came a dispute over wages.

dozen. The management told the
girls they were to receive a cut but
it had already gone into effect a
week before they were notified.
For two days the girls tried to
reason with the management. They
said they would go to the E. M. B.
A. and one of the officials told them
that the E. M. B. A. could not help
them. So all of these girls walked
out. They stayed out more than a
week and in the meantime iIhe
management decided that it wasn't
a Job for girls and they put men in
their places.
After receiving. a scolding from
Papa Goodman and being reminded
of how nice they we're being treated
to be allowed to return to their for
mer jobs, the girls went to work.
That wasn't a decision by the E. M.
B. A. but by J. A. Goodman him

Now, Seamer, if you had studied
Roosevelt's recovery act and ideas
on organized labor as much as Mr..
Archer has, you'd be on the picket
line with us And we can tell you
what we are parading for, too, any
time you care to ask.

DILLINGER A HERO?
SHE'S DISGUISED
By Myrtle Moore

BY Myrtle Moore
I have been regular reader of
the letters printed in The Times
concerning John Dillinger and have
been disguised with those written by
persons who say he is hero and a
man. 1 wonder what their estimate
OF a man and a hero is? Most of
us have been taught that heroes are
honest men and good citizens, not
against law and order, going about
over the land robbing and killing.
Every one knows that what he does
is destructive, not constructive. Dill
linger is a self -confeSSed thief.
I can not think that any persons
who are mothers or fathers write
those maudlin letters, but are would
be "nolls" and a class who always
admire those who are tearing down
and making an uproar.
If the newspapers refused to print
letters condoning wrongdoing, the
Younger generation and others in
clined to go wrong could not read
and be influenced by them.
1t is hard for parents to try to
teach their children to be honest
and good citizens with such senti-
ment abroad.
Violation of the law should be

HE'S STILL AGAINST

The letter published recently in
your column, by "A Times Reader,
who did not care to sign his name

the presence of exhaust gas in pub

ment unattached. 1t is, should the

fort of it's patrons?
The operation Of other and bet

 Washington, July 2-(UP)-The toughest job within the new deal has left it's indelible mark upon Brig Gen Hugh s. Johnson.
 The high commander of Ameri- can business, keepers of the blue eagle and stormy petrel of the ad- ministration has been through a constant mental and physical strain such as few men would have survived.
 Even the robust Johnson has been to the hospital three times since the national recovery admin istration was organized, once for boils once for an abscess and once for a weeks rest which lasted two days.
 He has worked seven days week and has labored into the wee hours practically every night.
 No longer is he the trim, almost jovial army officer in multi. He has had Ho time for exercise and so has gained at least 20 pounds. No longer is his eye gray end piercing. It still pierces, often flick CTS fire, but it is red-rimmed most of the time from lack of sleep. President Roosevelt has urged that he take @ few weeks rest. But the general is as stubborn on that score as he ever was. He has a job to finish and he intends to do it,
