COAL CONSUMERS
Mulcted By SHORTY eight
Racket
Combination of Philadelphia
Dealers, Politicians and
City Employees Pocket Big
''PrOfits."

Philadelphia, Pa.-Coal consumers
in Philadelphia have been wantonly
defrauded for long time by short
weight coal dealers acting in conspir-
acy with politicians and employees OF
the Bureau of Weights and Measures
according to tetimony before the spe-
cial grand jury investigating the bu-
reau on orders of Judge Eugene
Alessandroni.
Witnesses related how huge profits
accrued to dealers through these il
licit transactions, and, under agree
ment with the dishonest county en-
ployes, a special account of these
"extra profits" from short-weight
was maintained by the coal dealers
These extra profits were pooled by
all that the coal men who were par
ties to the scheme, and at regular
intervals of three or four months the
proceeds were divided.
Benefciaries of the fund were the
dealers, the weights and measures in
spectors and the "Big Five" polite
ians who dominated the racket.

laws against decency. This, they
charge, was unfair.
What the President said was: "The
freedom guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion is freedom of expression, and
that will be scrupulously respected
but it is not freedom to work chill
dren. or do business in a fire trap, or
violate the laws against obscenity,
libel or lewdness."
In all likelihood, Mr.. Roosevelt did
not mean that many daily newspaper
publishers actually desire freedom to
exploit children, to operate in fire
trap or to outrage decency, though all
these things have been done by news
papers in the greed for profits. I'm
doubtedly what he had in mind was
that under cover of the cry for free
dom of the press publishers were
seeking, consciously or unconsciously,
to avoid complying with hour and
wage regulations such as are required
of other business enterprises.
If this was what the President was
thinking, he only voiced in his COM
ment on the code what newspapers
have said themselves. One of these
was the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a
newspaper of the highest standing,
which said some months ago:
''The impression is fast gaining
ground that it is not freedom of the
press that certain newspaper ele-
ments are campaigning for, but free
dom to escape keeping their agree
ments under NRA; that these ele-
ments, while editorially urging all
other industries to cooperate with
NRA, want their businesses exempt
from its possibilities.

lean Federation of Labor endeavored
to organize the mill workers.
Holt Ross, American Federation Of
Labor representative, used the word
cooperation as the keynote of his adj
dress, forcefully pointing out that la
Dor had rather settle one dispute
around the conference table, than a
thousand on the strike field. He
graphically explained the aims, OBJ
jects and purposes of the American
Federation of Labor and how the
federation was cooperating with the
national government to help in
bringing back national prosperity. He
told just what the national recovery
act was and what it meant to the
workers.
Pleading with employers to join
hands with labor, Mayor Cassidy and
three of the members of the commits
sion council pledged their co-opera-
tion in making the organization cam
paign a success.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly. !.

Watch now for sniping by the big
newspapers at NRA.
They won't like parts of the news
paper code. They won't like the presi-
dents suggestion of 5-day week
for editorial writer's.
Editorial workers have been both
stupid and exploited That's no reason
for continued exploitation.
They've been stupid about refusing
or failing to organize into unions.
They've been exploited because they
We had pride in their work.
Writing men have been fair game
for every kind of spokesman, crafts
men and artists-they have had a de-
votion to work that has outshone
their judgment about getting paid,
their solidarity in defense against
against every type of exploitation.
It's good to see some helping hand
come their way.
Writing about Col. Lindbergh, Edi-
tor Hearst has done good job for
which many will thank him.
He recites how lin his presence,
Lindbergh tore up la dontradt for
half million dollars and threw it
in the fire, just to keep his word to
himself. Hearst argues that such
man isn't taking money that doesn't
belong to him.
Writing in temperate, persuasive
vein, Mr.. Hearst does lot to kill the
attack on the famous flyer.
There are politicians who will not
learn that constructive work can be
done without tearing down reputa-
tions.
The way to clean up the air service
is not over the regulations of those
who have done no wrong. The way
to clean up anything is to clean up
what needs cleaning, letting the de-
cent alone.
There are those who can, looking
hopefully at NRA, observe that the
"big fellows" dominate most code au-
thorities. That means they will write
the laws.
Many are beginning to fear for the
life of the little fellows.
Question whether anything can
long save the little fellows, but most
folks won't like to see the slaughter
hastened.
NRA has it's big weak spots as well
as it's enormous strong points.
Time is at hand to get after and
fly up some of the big weak spots.
Price kiting is one thing that needs
faster fixing than it is getting.
Men rummage through figures and
know all about the price boosts. But
nobody moves very fast to do any
thing about it.
That needs fixing.
Averell Hartman puts new train
on the rails, Diesel driven, stream
lined, light weight, good for 10
miles per hour.
Looking ahead, that will eliminate
slower, old-time trains, probably
throw more men out of work, unless
it operates to so increase traffic as to
revive rail transportation.
There's an experiment to watch.
But ten years hence that train will
seem slow, obsolete.
What's next? Nobody can tell you,
But look at the automobile of even
five years ago. Look at the refriger-
ator of five years ago. And the radio
of those days
The further we go the faster we
go--so look ahead ten years and see
what kind of picture you can draw of
the kind of train that will then have
displaced Mr.. Harriman's 110-mile
speedster.
And what will NRA be doing ten
years hence?
