ENFORCED ENTHUSIASM

ONE Of the surprising things about the
~ German situation has been the whole
hearted way in which the people Of Germany
turn out to greet Herr Hitler whenever he
makes a public appearance
on hand. one would suppose that that re-
hected an immense personal popularity But
q lawsuit in a Berlin labor court" recently
let fairly stable cat out of the bag.
Certain workers in a Berlin factory were
fired because they had refused TO march I'M
der boiling sun to hear Hitler speak at big
Naz demonstration on May l. They sued for
reinstatement But the court held that the
law required workers to join in such demon
STATIONS. and that refusal to join constituted
a breach OF duty to the nation. So the appeal
was denied and the workers stayed fred.
The vast size Of those crowds is a little
easier 10 understand, now.

FaSciSm Noted IN Sam Francisco Strike

the small group of employers and
their names, against the masses
of the strikers, never was known
or mentioned.
In industrial warfare the gen.
erals should be proud to be known
if their cause is right. But are
they? Rather, they hide behind
the slogan, protection of prop
erty," or know how to run my
own business" They will bring
RECOMMENDATION of industries by
their conduct.
The fact that the general strike
was conducted in a human way, so
none would suffer, caused the
failure, but the employers wanted
to see bloodshed, blood of the
workers, not theirs.
When will they see their er-
rors and believe in the rights of
many?

WAR WITHOUT PROFIT

OCCUPIED with its fight for pensions and
~ the like. the American Legion in recent
years has paid scant attention to its most con-
structiye proposal-legislation to take the
profit out Of war.
Now. however. legion leaders plan to put
this subject at the head Of the program when
they meet in Miami in October.
The legion" SAYS the report OF its legis-
lauve committee. nov should turn its atten-
ton and its strength toward enactment Of a
universal draft law which viii take the profit
out OF war. require equal service from all and
allow special privileges to none in time OF war.
Such a law would be our surest bulwark
against war. our best insurance for peace"
Although it Is refreshing to see the legion
again pushing its anti-profteering proposal
the public is justified in withholding approval
until it learns what kind Of legislation the
legion will sponsor. 4 few years ago this same
crusade petered out into support Of the old
Capper-JohnSon universal draft" bill. Labor
was skeptical Of that bin-and properly So
because its consumption provisions. while
definite in regard to man power. were vague in
regard TO wealth.
such law might make for more efficient
conduct Of war. but 1t would not take the
profit out Of war" would not require equal
service from all" and would not be an ''insur-
snce for peace" Modern warfare being what
II is. universal Consumption Of men is newt
sble in the next war. The legion should. there
fore. direct its attention toward whatever
LEGISLATION or constitutional revision is neces-
sary to insure the drafting Of property in war
time.
Speaking before the war mobilization COM
mission in 1924. Edward F. NlcGrady. Amer
lean Federation Of Labor spokesman and now
assistant secretary Of labor. said:
We are willing TO go on a sSO-a-month
basis. and We are ready and willing to eat
army rst.ons. when you can make the brokers
and bankers and the business men and the war
contractors and members Of congress and
members Of the supreme court GO the same
thing Let Us al get in the same boat"

BELIEVES PETERS
TREATED BADLY

BY A. L. Heuf.
I never have spoken to R. Earl
Peters or Mr.. Minton, but after
reading the comments on each and
knowing what I do, I have come to
the conclusion that a link was
dropped out Of the Democratic chain
when a Wheelhorse like Mr.. Peters
was unhitched in the middle of the
stream
The Postmaster General in his
speech at the Claypool said that
prior to the national campaign in
which r. Earl Peters acted as state
chairman, the Democratic party
had been losing the state.
This being the case, r. Earl Pc
ters and not Mr. Minton should
have been honored with a reward
sufficient to hold him.
BY some hOcus pocus trick, the
delegates voted Peters out, forget
ting the good he did and the dam
age they were likely to do. So we
advise the party to forget the
slaughter Of Peters, Sullivan and
state from going for Robinson, The
Ludlow for Minton and hold the
soldiers friend.

FAVORS RETIREMENT
OF BONDED DEBT
By Dollar IdOLat tor

BY Dollar IdOlatOr.
Arthur Brisbane keeps harping
about printing nice new money, in
steady of letting the bankers drain
the public through the sale of bonds.
If the public really understood
what the process was, through which
the enormous public debt was Gre
ated, it is likely that every dollar
of it would be repudiated.
AS long as gang can fitch the
public through this unconscionable
racket of putting up 100000 to buy
one billion dollars of bonds, which
is the cost of printing one billion in
currency, and then collecting inter-
est on billion dollars worth of
bonds, and getting a billion in new
currency to loan a per cent or
more, so long we shall never be able
to recover.
The whole bonded debt ought to
be retired by non-interest bearing
treasury notes. Conflscation is mild
compared to this magician's trick
money racket.

AN NRA TEST

THE L Grief d Brother Baltimore case is
Il clear cut test Of NRA. Shall sweatshop
wages become the American standard?
Upon the outcome Of the controversy be-
. tween NRA and this large manufacturer Of
mems clothing depends. to some extent. the
future OF the long struggle OF organized work
ers and civilized employers TO establish wages
above the bare subsistence level
MIRA finds that the Grief company has been
engaging in the most ruthless kind Of cut
throat mpetiIon-cutthroat prices made
possible by cutthroat wages. Their COMPETE
tors. most Of them smaller concerns. paying
the wages specified IN the mems clothing code,
have been unable to match Grief company
prices. The Grief company has observed the
NT2A minimum Of sl440 a week. bat is charged
with forcing its more skillfm workers to &C
ccpt wages near the minimum for the un-
skilled It's competitors, obeying the code,
have paid more skilled craftsmen wages run
ming as high as s35 and $50 a week
It is easy to see that either the Grief COM
pany wages must be raised to the level paid
By competitors or the wages paid by COM
petitors must be lowered to the level paid by
the Grief company.
NRAS order fOrbidding the sewing of the
blue eagle label on any more Of the Grief
company's garments deserves and We think,
viii receive public support. It was drastic &C
ton. because blue eagle retailers are bound by
codes not to purchase garments that have no
blue eagle labels. It is the kind Of action that
strikes at the pocketbook-the only kind OF
argument that is persuasive to some people.

ASSAILS RELEASE OF
DEPOSIT SURETIES

BY Filters.
Governor NIcNutt praises the acts
of the last legislature. The act
that permitted sureties on the
bonds of banks, holding public
money to slip out from under the
obligation when these banks folded
up needs more than praise.
A pickpocket is jailed for touch
ing a single victim. But here the
banks in which confidence was
placed, as a depository for tax
money, received and secured these
tax moneys with a bond to protect
this public money" The last legis-
lature threw this money belonging
to the public, deposited in these
banks, into the fire and destroyed it..
Then it added insult to injury by
levying a tax on low income workers
salaries or receipts in excess of
$1,000 to cover the loss. To whom
were the legislators subservient?

ERROR POINTED OUT
IN CONSTABLE CASE

By Nelson G. Alleyo.
In an article in The Times Of last
Friday arrest Of constables of Perry
township was reported.
The officers arrested are not con-
stables of Perry township, but are
constables of Franklin township.
I am the duly qualified constable
of Perry township, and J. H. Chat
terley is the justice Of the peace for
Beach Grove and Perry township.
I am not in favor Of arresting
persons without just cause, and
then only when warrant has been
issued by the court.
VIII you please give this article
space in your valuable paper that
the public may know that the
officers Of Perry township had MOTH
ing to do with the case.

CROP REDUCTION
PLAN ASSAILED
Bv Observer.

BY observer.
The crop reduction program
should be followed by a consumers
stomach contraction crusade. The
sale of alum ought to increase, as
stomachs are reduced. That pro-
cess should also shrink the under
wear sizes. Shirts and dresses need
not be so large hereafter.
Italy has proceeded far in a re-
duction of the standard of living.
Does our own road lead to Rome?
Does Henry contend that babies
are not entitled to the milk, since
they have not worked for it? Can
not the millions Of mouths now eat
ing from relief funds find normal
appetite again, to consume the fake
surplus" of food and clothing?
Are we going through the mon
strous fallacy enacted in Denmark,
Of grinding up our cattle into tank
age for hogs, then grind the hogs
into fertilizer for wheat, only to
have a mountain Of wheat? Get
the people to the surplus and We will
have a shortage Of everything.
The cost will not be anything
compared to the waste of every
thing that makes persons comfort
able and well fed, instead Of ragged
and hungry.
Increase the crops and the clothes
for distribution, and don't spare

ATTACK ON POSTAL
SERVICE ANSWERED
BY Substitutes.

BY Substitutes.
To correct statements in letter
by J. G. C. published in the Mes
sage Center of July Is, we ask that
you publish the following reply:
Mr.. J. G. c., we assume from
your positive attitude in making
statements regarding substitutes,
that you are a postal employee.
First, let us describe the mental
picture we get Of you as an en-
ploye.
when you arrive at the Office
your hat and coat are Immediately
placed in your locker, then to the
clock looking neither right nor left,
no word Of greeting to fellow work
ers. They are only flies in your
soup or is it that you can't look
sub straight in the face? When
you reach your place of labor you
scarcely know your partner exists.
You only know your iOta in the pos
tai machine well enough to hold
your job, and when it gets tough
going you lay off sick with full
pay until the neaVy part mas peeIl
carried over.
Now how would you know the
message you referred to was like
a dead letter, when you wouldn't
know a dead letter from a live one,
or even where to find a dead letter
in the Indianapolis postof1ce? Just
where would you go to find one?
IF you don't know that, how
would you know the substitutes
ha- made more in the last sixteen
months than ever before? The fact
is, substitutes have made less, be-
cause there has been less mail to
handle.
I'VE do not question your state
ment about Mr.. Farley. We don't
know the answer. Neither do you. 3"

From You
BY ]. DUKE MOTLEY


Today had a card from you;
1t seemed too good to be real true.
1t wrapped my soul in ecstacy
To know that you remembered me.
For years in every crowded place,
In vain, I've ever sought your face
And wondered what on earth I'd do
If suddenly 7 should meet you.
To know within a postman's pouch
A card from you should once more
crouch,
Has flooded mem'ry's open door
And gilded thoughts with days OF
yore.
Perhaps the whole thing was q
dream,
A matchless hoax to thrive and team
Upon imagination's due.
No. here's the card. It's really true.
