BY MARIE LAUCK


THE quiet. even tenor Of south
Il side life sixty-four years ago
was shattered one day BY the foul
murder Of two little girls. whose
muulated bodies we're found under
tie bridge where Brick pond
crossed Union street al Morris
street. The identity Of the slayer
never was discovered
Twclve-year-old Molhe Kelley,
Who had made her first COM
muni0n the previous Sunday,
called for her 4-year-old friend,
Katie Climber, June "A, 1870.
Bhthely, the two began the
pleasant walk 70 the commons, a
large unclaimed plot Of ground
south Of Morris street, 10 bring IN

family.
As the hours wore by and the
children had not returned. their
frantic families traced the steps
o. their two children along the
canal bank.
Mrs. Climber particularly
watched the flow OF the muddy
waters. steeling herself. perhaps,
to see her daughters body. Mrs.
Kelly, walking beside her,
mOnOtonously repeated her faith
that the girls were alive, safe and
hiding somewhere as a childish
prank.
Both were wrong.
After twilight the bodies were
found. obscured by the gloom and
shadows. under the bridge. The
girls apparently had been drowned.
Further investigation revealed.
however. that Aollie Kelly had
been attacked and that Katie
Climber had been murdered to
silence her accusing cries.
A suspect with teeth marks i'm
bedded IN his arm was arrested,
but the marks did not corres pond
with the teeth Of either murdered
child. The years passed and the
murder was for forgotten except
IN the hushed cries of mothers as
they forbade their children to
stray far from home alone.
Then. one night. Mr.. Kelly was
summoned by a mysterious call to
the death bed of a stranger out
IN the country. Whether some
troubled soul in a last agonizing
minute wished to confess to the
foul crimes never was known. The
stranger died before Mr.. Kelly
could arrive.

CRITICISM
OF Farley Order Held Not
Attack on Roosevelt
Program

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-The
April issue of the Union Postal
Clerk, organ of the National FEEDER
alton of Post Office Clerks, declares
editorially that the defensive efforts
of the organized postal workers
against the furlough order of Post
master General Farley must not be
construed in any way as an attask
upon the politics of President Roose-
velt.
The postmaster general is quoted as
having said, speaking of opponents of
the NRA:
They forget, or rather they prefer
not to remember, that the terrible
depression through with the people
of this country are now struggling
has been as disastrous as war would
have been. All of us know that money
was not spared when it ONES to prose
uting war. Why should money be
spared in fighting sub depression
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1934-04-20

The editorial delares that with
this declaration we are in the fullest
sympathy. We are for the presidents
program. We endorsed it unanimously
at the last national onvention while
still smarting under forced furlough
order.
''Now, our emotion is different. We
are puzzled. Just what it is al
about? Are there two Farleys? Is
one the friend and loyal henchman OF
the president and the other his
enemy?
"Back in our high school days we
were told of the incident in which
Philip the Great rendered a decision
while in his cups. One Of his gen.
erals announced the intention of ap-
pealing from Philip drunk to Philip
sober.
"We are appealing from the Farley
who signed the furlough order to the
Farley who sturdily fought for the
principles of his great president ano
leader"

Declares Antiunon Manufacturers Have Organized Con-
certed Drive on Congress to Kill the Measure
Recommends Its Promp Enactment Without Objec-
tiOnable Amendments

Westinghouse out that or
ganized anti-union employers and
their friends are using the radio,
newspaper advertisements, public
speakers and appeals to members OF
congress to bring about the defeat of
the Wagner Connery labor disputes
bill, now under consideration by the
senate and house labor committees,
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared that the prompt enactment of
the measure, without Objectionable
amendments, is necessary to secure
for the workers the freedom it was
sought to give them in the national
industrial recovery act.
Collective Bargaining Protected
"It is clearly evident that no bill
has been introduced in the congress
of the United States since the Norris
LaGuardia injunction relief measure
which has aroused the opposition of
manufacturers associations, cham
bers of commerce, large corporations
and their paid representatives to the
same extent as has the introduction
of the Wagner Connery disputes act, "
Mr.. Green said.
"This bill provides that employees
shall have the right to organize and
join labor organizations and engage
in concerted activities for the pur-
pose of collective bargaining.
"It also stipulates that it will be
regarded as an unfair labor practice
for an employer to interfere in the
exercise Of the right to organize, to
refuse to deal with the chosen repre-
sentatives of his employees, or tC
finance, support or interfere in any
way in the establishment of company
unions. Any employer found guilty Of
an unfair labor practice shall be sub
| ject to a fine for each offense.
Company Union Menace
"It also provides for the establish
ment on a permanent basis of the
National Labor Board for the settle
ment of industrial disputes.
Company unions are maintained
because companies organize, foster
and finance them. AS labor wei
knows, company unions are establish
ed so that employers may use them
to carry out their plans to exercise
economic and industrial control over
their employees.
"They are established for the pur-
pose Of defeating the legitimate aspi-
rations of the workers to organize
and all during the administration OF
the national recovery act they have

THEATRICAL
Unions Oppose Industrial
Relations Board

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--A pro-
posed amendment to the code for the
establishment of an industrial rela-
tions board to arbitrate labor disputes
in the legitimate theatre industry
drew sharp protests from representa-
/ tives of trade unions who insisted
! that collective BARGAINING always had
worked out well in the theatrical in
dustry and that they wished to con-
tinue this method of settling differ
ences with managers.
Virtually all the witnesses who tes-
titled on behalf of the unions said
they would not accept the industrial
relations board and that they would
not consent to anything except collec-
tive bargaining.
Speaking for the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, Gen. Samuel T.
Anseli said acceptance of the pro-
posal made by the League of New
York Theatres for an industrial board
would mean involuntary servitude"
for the members of the crafts. He
said:
"The very moment you confer
power on a court in the industrial
world you unnecessarily take away
the most cherished thing the Amer
lean worker has-the right to bar
gain collectively. AS far as the
members of the union / represent are
concerned, they need no interference
by the government
John Casey, Of Stage Union No. 1
of New York city, and Fred j. Demp-
sey, of the international Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees, both stat
ed fatty that their organizations
would not consent to the proposed
industrial relations board. Frank
Gilmore, head of the Actors Equity
Association, was even more blunt.
"If the proposed provision is in
serted into the code, it will be my
duty" Gilmore said, "to ask the gov
erning board of the Actors Equity to
withdraw from the code authority.

trial relations board would bring dan

A TRAGEDY"

Official Asserts

Washington. D. c. (ILNS)-Aban-

William Hodson, commissioner Of the
department of public welfare Of New
York city, in speaking before the Red
Cross convention here.
I do not wish to appear to be crit
icizing the new system, or any one" }"
Hodson said. But the fact remains
that it was a tragedy indeed that we
suddenly had to take action April /
which reversed the sound principles
which had been set up under CWA. If
funds were no longer available, it
was nevertheless tragedy that had
to be done with such suddenness. The

been set up by corporations in order
to prevent workers from enjoying the
right to organize into independent
unions and to bargain collectively
through representatives of their own
choosing, as provided for in Section
Ia Of the national recovery law.
Fierce Opposition
Because the opponents of this bill,
consisting principally of manufacture
e1's' associations, employers organ
izations of all kinds, their paid rep
resentatives, and corporations estab-
lished in many industries, are oppos-
ing the Wagner-Connery disputes act
as they never opposed legislation de-
signed to protect and help labor be-
fore, / am calling upon the officers
and members Of organized labor and
their friends everywhere to become
active Immediately in support of this
measure and to render all service pos
sible in order to bring about the pass
age of the Wagner-Connery bill at
this session of congress.
"This is no ordinary contest; it is a
fight of the masses of the people and
their friends for the enactment of a
law which experience has shown is
imperatively necessary if Section IA
of the national recovery act is to be
made vital and real to labor. Cor
porations will fight to the limit in
order to protect their company un-
ions; they resent any interference
with their purpose and policy to
spend large sums of money, if neces-
sary, in order to establish, admins
ter and maintain company unions"

Labor Assails Runaway
Prices Under NRA Codes
Wage Increases Since Year Ago Cancelled by Rising

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Code
mechanisms have been used for price
profiteering, the American Federation
of Labor declares in it's current
monthly survey Of business.
"There is no justification for the
large price increases which have been
made in many products" the survey
says.
"Price control is one of the CHIEF
problems before u.s." it continues. ut
is of prime interest to labor, for wage
increases have been completely can
celled by rising costs of living. The
individual workers real wage today
is no higher than it was a year ago
in spite of all efforts to raise it."
Heavy Industries Gain
The survey says that business ad-
vances, w h began to appear in Feb
ruary, in reased in March. 1t adds:
"Gains in the heavy industries are
beginning to appear; plants are or
dering new machinery and equipment
as increased production brings idle
capacity into use !. Although heavy
industries have gained especially this
spring, they are still 55 per cent be-
low 1929, while consumer industries
are within Is per cent of that level. 1t
has been estimated that consumer in
dustries are already employing $780,
900 persons, and that even in 1929
there were only 100000 more jobs in
these industries. Clearly, then, the

transfer from federal funds back to

been more gradual.
''It should have taught US a lesson
and that is, that we cannot deal
with theneedy and distressed, whose
numbers mount into the millions, by
mass action. We must still continue
to consider industrial problems-no

ated by shortening hours"
u. S. Credit Still Vital
The survey emphasizes that indus.
try is still depending on government
credit. In this connection it says:
at is significant that these gains in
heavy industries are due in large part
to government spending and the NRA
program. Steel orders are for PWA
building projects and for rails and
equipment bought with government
loans to railroads. Automobile or
ders have incr reased with the gains in
buying power under NRA.
Industry is still depending on
government credit to finance the
kind of projects which create or
ders for the heavy industries.
Although excess reserves of banks
reached a new high level of near
ly $1,50O,00O,000 in the third
week of March, bank credit to
business in that week was still
at the low level of the crisis pc
riod last year.
Business gains this spring are thus
due to buying power created by the
NRA program and to government
credit. Despite hopeful declarations
by executives, there is no sure evi-
dence as yet that business is ready to
go ahead on it's own power"

day his office paid out $500 in back

BYRD STUDIES
GAS TAX RATE

Legislation under which the
state tax on gasoline in each State
would be uniform is being studied
for introduction in Congress by
Senator Harry Flood Byrd CD Of
Virginia.
The Senator explained today
that he is finding such a proposal
difficult to draft because of its
legal phases.
He pointed out that. under the
Constitution. the Federal Govern.
ment has no right to limit the
amount Of tax State can impose,
but suggests that this may be
overcome by an arrangement
under which the States accepting
the uniform plan would be given
rebates by the Federal Govern.
ment.
such method. he pointed out,
was put into effect in regard to
the inheritance tax, Federal Gov
ernment offering rebates to those
States which had an inheritance
tax in operation.
Senator Byrd, asserted that
with q uniform gasoline tax ex-
1sting bootlegging Of gasoline
from one State to another would
be decreased, and that such a
GSsaem would be Of benefit to
interstate commerce using the
highways.
He has not, decided what tax
rate he will propose.
