WORKERS GULP FOOD TO
KEEP UP PACE
BY A Border.

BY A Border.
Some one asks Mr.. Barskin to give
the workers of the National Hosiery
Mills "a break" Surely they don't
know him. He is the man who can
do it cheaper.
Mr.. Goodman may be able to
beat the MIRA, but his little brother
in-law can teach him a lot about
having it done real cheap"
If the public which listens to the
sweet Real Silk program on Sunday
nights, could see the boarders gulp
sandwich and go on working ali
through their half hour lunch
period. In the pairing department,
work goes on after whistle has
blown for lunch, and the employees
are back pairing fifteen minutes be
fore it is time to start, all to make
the minimum, or as Mr.. Barskin
told them:
You will lose your jobs
Mr.. Barskin doesn't believe in
breaks for the workers. A smile, or
a word Of encouragement never is
given by him and we know not to
expect it. When it come to wages,
Mr.. Barskin certainly can keep them
down.
Does the National really belong
to the NRA? I never have seen the
Blue Eagle displayed at any time
although their products are sold to
stores which belong to the NRA.

BATTLING A BLIGHT

MATURE, that old girl Of the laissez-faire
school, is all set TO dry up our wheat and
corn and show us what real crop reduction is
likel
AS George E Farrell chief of the wheat
section in the AAA, says, that might be all
right "if farmers weren't people" AS it is,
a farm family sees a blight of scorching heat
come to destroy all the labor of their hands,
leaving them without hope or assets. 1t is a
bitter experience, leaving its results for years
to come.
Fortunately, this year there is one ray Of
hope for the drought-stricken regions. Those
who have signed the wheat or corn reduction
contracts will get their money-the benefit
payments-on the basis of the past years
average production South Dakota had
drought last year, so that the actual wheat
grown brought in only a little over three
million dollars, while the adjustment pay
ments to South Dakota farmers will total
five millions.
The AAA program includes crop insurance.
Such benefits are very comforting when
calamities strike farmers, whether they grow
cotton hawgs and Gavin, tobacco or wheat.
The amendments now proposed to the
Agricultural Adjustment Act would make it
possible TO extend such insurance to producers
of tn enonbasic commodities.

the employees should be forced to
strike to obtain the liberties which
we're granted to them under the
NRA as American citizens.
In the employ of Real Silk there
are 564 full fashion knitters and it
is these knitters who form the back
bone of the hosiery industry. 1t
was mainly upon the insistence of
these knitters that vote was taken
to determine who should represent
them.
In the MIRA election there we're
cast for the Hosiery Workers union
1852 votes; for the company union,
2,070 votes.
1t is a known fact that the COM
pany Immediately preceding the
election hired many, new employees,
the bulk of them boys and girls, and
since it is also a fact that the office
workers, foremen, supervisors, JAM
tors and cafeteria employees were al
lowed to vote, and the company
used open discrimination against
union employees, it is not surprising
that the vote cast for the company
union was so large.
AS an example of this company's
attitude toward union labor need
only cite the cases of the National
and Fulton-Real Silk owned mills
where the employees unanimously
voted for the hosiery workers union
and to whom recognition never was
granted

NO HURRY

INTERIOR SECRETARY HAROLD ICKES
= has important aims in view when he pro-
poses to strengthen the production control Sec
tions of the oil code and have them enacted
into permanent law. Eventually, we believe
such law must be passed; and cover other
phases of the Oil industry as we'll as production
But we question whether this is the time
to change a voluntary agreement into fixed
law.
AS administrator of the oil code, Mr. Ickes
sees its weaknesses better than any one else
But, while the code is being praised and
damned, it appears too early to see all it's
flaws, all its strength. Like naval vessel by
the time the next congress convenes, bill draft
ers can write a more intelligent and compre-
hensive oil law than today
Meanwhile, the administrator should re-
ceive the fullest cooperation from the in
dustry he is helping to help itself. Otherwise,
it will founder and great exhaustible natural
resource will be dangerously wasted

and her air force: Poland has in,4eased her
forces by 1000 men; Poland, Belgium and
CzechosIovakia are spending huge sums on
forts; England, Japan and the United States
are working fast to build up their navies.
This certainly is rot picture of a world
getting ready for a long era of peace and
cooperation. But no greater mistake could
be made than to suppose that these armies
and navies are being strengthened out of
sheer wrong medicines. or to crafty the
whims of despotic statesmen.
The nations of the world are arming be-
cause they see trouble ahead; and they see
trouble because there are in the world to-
day innumerable situations which cry aloud
for settlement - Polish corridor and trade
wars, disputed territory in Manchuria and in
Silesia and along the Adriatic and heaven
knows where else, oppressed national minori-
ties. onerous treaties, and so on.
1t ought to be clear by this time that in
viting the nations to disarm without first set
ting straight these causes of trouble is futile.
The armament race is a dangerous and
distressing thing, but it has certain definite
and obvious causes. Before it can be stopped,
there must be intelligent and far-sighted &C
ton to set the fundamentals straight.

CHECKING A NUISANCE

HERBERT HOOVER's rebuke of the young
University of Pennsylvania freshman,
who sought to impress the editors of his col
lege paper by getting an interview with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and wound up by writing to
Mr. Hoover for help, is little document that
ought to get wide reading.
Mr. Hoover bluntly informed the young
collegian that high government officials are
busy men who don't have time for the anna
teur interviewers, autograph collectors and
other varieties of bright young men who buzz
about their heads
Every President has such ambitious but
misguided youngsters to contend with. Mr.
Hoover himself doubtless suffered from them
in his own day. Now he seeks to souelch
one who is trying to get at his successor, and
in seeking to Squelch him he has struck a blow
in good cause.
The time of a President is too valuable
to be wasted on young collegians who are out
to show their own cleverness and initiative.

WARS LESSON

IT would be interesting to know how many
wartime chaplains share the Rev. Dr.
Harry Emerson Fosdicks conviction that the
support I gave to war is a deep condemna-
ton upon my soul"
DR.. Fosdck told a large New York audi
ence that he lied to the unknown soldier
about a possible good consequence of the
war;" and that he will never again tell SOL
diers who are about to kill and be killed that
they act for GOD and mankind.
In fact, this pastor of the Rockefeller
church remarked bluntly, I'll see you in
prison first"
1t has become painfully evident in the last
fifteen years that we somehow managed to de-
ceive ourselves very badly about some of the
issues at stake in the war
1t will probably be a long, long time before
the ministers of the land will support war
as strongly as they supported the last one.

ARMAMENTS-THEIR CAUSE

Russia has increased her army by more

Japan has added somewhere between l0o,-

MORE TIME FOR FLOWERS

TENNESSEE valley housewives will have
i more time to tend their flowers this
summer.
Household drudgery with its backaches is
disappearing.
First, the Tennessee Valley Authority
brings the price of electricity tumbling down.
Then the Electric Home and Farm Author
ity follows through with its campaign to cleo
trify the American home by selling electric sp-
pliances cheaply on easy-payment plans.
Displays will be opened this month in
Tupelo, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Wilson
Dam.
Ultimately electricity will:
Wash the dishes
Heat the water,
Cook the meals,
Make the ice.
Toast the bread
Sweep the floors,
Launder the clothes,
Cool the air in summer,
Heat it in winter,
Play the radio.
And at Tennessee Valley Authority rates,
all this may be brought within the reach of
millions who otherwise would go through life
thinking of the mysterious electric current
simply as luxury to serve the rich.

ASSAILS ADVERTISING OF
BUSINESS BUILDERS

By an Ex-Standpatter.
The all-time low in Indianapolis
advertising seems to have been at
tanned for the Associated Business
Builders compaign against the "agi-
tator," which means directed against
union labor and a fair wage for
labor, and with no apparent cog
nizance that prosperity, more than
anything else. depends upon a fair,
decent wage for the workers.
Indianapolis is no mean city, as
Benjamin. Harrison said of it long
ago. But it would have ranked
higher among American municipaI-
ties if workers had been given their
just share of the profits and had
not organized attempts of certain
employers been directed to suppress
ing, so far as possible, the ambitions
of the workers.
Are we sometimes hypocritical
and illogical when we pirate of
American labor as superior? Indi-
annapolis has imported Anglo-Saxon
labor from Tennessee and Kentucky
and these workers are getting, if
employed, low wages.
Union labor is not perfect in or
ganization or perhaps in theology.
Neither are union labor leaders. But
union labor has cried out for decent
working conditions in mines and
shops and has looked after the in
duStrial welfare of the women and
children in industry.
Haven't men and women toilerS,
protecting their interests and the
interests of their children, the right
to their "agitator,' the business
builders word for their leader or
business manager, even as the en-
ployers' organization has the right
to a paid executive secretary?
The advertisement quotes from
the city directory as follows:
Indianapolis is generally about
95 per cent open-shop and nom
union, industrially and CONNER
cially." That is the kernel.
The advertisement before me re-
ferS to the teamsters' strike of
twenty years ago, "fomented by an
earlier breed Of these agitators. "
Look up the names Of the promi-
nent ministers and social workers,
the local humanitarians who were
with the striking teamsters and
compare them with the business
men who armed and patrolled the
streets to control the lawlessnesS
inspired by these strikers"
If my memory is exact, the team
sterS were striking for a raise of
50 weekly, from S12 to s14 which
latter wage would not have sup
ported family of three in decent
circumstances.
1 remember one Of these business
men-he was the leader Of a squad
modified at the Chamber Of Com
merce building. He then was "in
the money" but his daughter is a
striker now, which proves that a
generation may bring changes that
| is we'll worth while for us COM
placent ones to contemplate.
I'm no union man. I suppose I'm
on the side of the employer, for
have shares in big industrial in
stitutions, and they pay dividends,
which are nice to receive. How
much Of these dividends should go
to larger wages for the workmen, I
don't know. But certainly some.
Wages are nobler than profits.

DEMOCRATS VS.. PROGRESSIvES

MACHINE politicians are reported to have
AVA blocked in Wisconsin and New Mexico
the movement to draw Republican Progress
sives into the Democratic party
James Farley the Democratic national
chairman land United States postmaster
generaD has failed to make the most of an
opportunity to establish the Democratic party
as the majority party of the nation through
fusion with the Progressives
In California apparently. a fusion is be-
ing accomplished through the nomination of
Senator Hiram johnson by both the Demo-
cratic and the Progressive parties. 1t is such
an obviously good political move that the Re-
publican party in California may forget its
piuue against the boiling Hiram and also give
him the Republican nomination in order to
offset the effect of the Progressive Democratic
coup.
Credit for the California fusion goes, it
seems, to the long headed Senator McAdoo,
who saw the advantage to be gained by making
California a Democraticq state in other than
landslide years.
In Wisconsin, fearful of losing party con-
troll through cooperation with the La Toilette
Progressives, Farley is encouraging the Demo-
cratic leaders to pursue a course that in the
long run can only return the party to its
miserable minority status The same thing is
happening in New Mexico.
Men like Senators Cutting and La Toilette
were the advance guard of the new deal. They
helped President Roosevelt to bring it into be-
ing. If the Democratic party of the future is
to be Roosevelt Democratic party, the Pro-
gressive leaders will be needed in the front
line trenches.
Defeat of Senator La Toilette and Senator
Cutting by reactionary Democrats would do
more harm to the Roosevelt program than the
loss of any half-dozen of the conservative
Democratic senators up for reelection this
wear
