We all like thrills. And if I
can get one for 10 cents, why
not? Maybe I can't afford
the ten cents, but that's my
business. can cut down on
my midday slice of pie and
even up the budget. And I
MIGHT (ah, there's the thrilD
make fifty or sixty dollars with
my miserable little dime.
Probably I won't but it has
been done.
Why cut the poor man off
from this one source of excite
ment? The wealthy man plays
the stock market. If that isn't
gambling, what is it? I don't
hear anyone talk of closing up
the brokerage houses.
Personally these same brok-
erage houses cost me far more
than the numbers racket or
ponies ever will. And I got
less fun out of it.
If they are "racketS' why not
make them legitimate?

Too Much Home Work

Too Much Home Work
: To the Editor of The Times:
Your campaign for better
schools in the District strikes
O responsive chord in me.
First because have five
children, all in the public
schools. And secondly because,
even though I were childless,
I would feel that the District
schools should be a model for
the nation.
I know that my own five
are not getting the best. If
they were why would they need
so much help at home. And
why should they have to put
so many hours on home work.
It strikes me that a child,
properly taught in the school
room, should not find it neces-
sary to devote his or her nights
to study. And should not need
what amounts to hours OF prl-
vate tutoring at home.
In my case 1 am able to help
nv children to certain extent.
am a college graduate. But
think of the thousands of pa
rents who have not had any
educational advantages. Think
of their struggles to help their
youngsters. I have a hard
enough time, heaven knows. MY
education being, not to be sta
tistical, somewhat behind me.
Parents should help their chill
dren, of course. But the young
sters should receive the major
part of their education. I think,
in the school room. Not over
the sitting room table at night.
Bad for the children and how
wearisome for the tired parents.
It may be that the District
teachers are overworked
that they have too many in
each room. If that is the eX-
planation, the condition should
be remedied. A teacher should
not be responsible for more
children than she can handle
conveniently.
District school children should
have the best in education cb-
tainable. TIRED MOTHFR.
Poor Fox
To the Editor of The Times:
What is this world coming to?
We find a bishop going out and
blessing a pack of fox hounds
which will then go out and tear
o poor little beast to pieces.
It would seem to me that the
good bishop might find a better
use for his blessing. He might
try and instill a little religion
into these "Sportsmen" who are
so brave that they pick on a
weak little animal.
1t is acts such as this that
made the Communists declare
that religion is the opium of
the people"

Eastern Newspaper Plant
Picketed By Guild Members
For First Time Editorial Workers Demonstrate in Union
Style Before Long Island Daily-Vote Ordered in
Philadelphia.

New York City (ILNS)-For the
first time in the United States, a
newspaper office was picketed by edi-
torial workers when officers of the
American Newspaper Guild and New
York Newspaper Guild began pick
citing the plant of the Long Island
Press, which the guilds charge has
opposed organization of editorial
workers.
The pickets, headed by Haywood
Broun, well known columnist and
president of the American Newspaper
Guild. marched to and fro carrying
militant banners.
Broun later headed delegation
which asked prosecution of the Long
Island Press for alleged violation of
the collective bargaining provisions of
the recovery act. The United States
attorneys office in Brooklyn received
the delegation but made no public an
nouncement Of any action.

Pittsburgh (ILNS)-The Republic
Steel Corporation, which was de-
nounced by the National Labor Board
for violation of Section IA of the re-
covery act at it's Alabama plants,
has announced that it will not renew
it's contract with the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers.
The announcement was made at
Warren, Ohio, where one of the Re-
public Corporations largest mills is
located. For 81 years, the Warren
and Niles, Ohio, mills of the corpora
tion have had a contract with the
Amalgamated.
The Republics move was interpre-
ted here as rejecting the attitude of
the entire steel industry, and as
marking the first blow of the employ
ers in last-ditch effort to bar organ
lied labor from the steel industry
Labor accepted the challenge and is
determined to push it's organizing
campaign in the steel industry with
even more vigor than in the recent
past.
The mere fact that the Republic has
refused to deal with the Amalgamat-
ed does not mean that it will not have
to recognize the union in the end
The workers have an appeal to the
National Steel Labor Adjustment
Board, and from there to the National
Labor Relations Board. Both may
find that the union is the represen-
tative of the workers and entitled
to recognition by the corporation.
Republic officials gave as the ex-
cuse for their action that "there is
great danger that the management
of the Amalgamated Association may
pass into the hands of radical ele-
ments known as the rank and file
leaders" The contract at Niles anc
Warren expired on June 80.
News of the abandonment of the
contract, in existence more thar
twenty-one years, was a surprise tc
the annual wage conference of the
Western Sheet and Tinplate Manu-.
facturers' Association and the Anal
gamated representatives, meeting
here.
President M. F. Tighe, of the Anal
gamated Association, presided at the
wage conference. This annual meet.
ing between representatives of work
ers and employers in the Western
manufacturers group, is held to de.
eide upon wage scale for the coming
year.

LABOR CONVENTION
Call Stresses Need for Mill
tant Action

Ottawa (ILNS)-The need of mill
tant action to protect the right to
organize and to assure decent stand
ard of living is stressed by Tom
Moore in the official call to the Golden
Jubilee Convention of the Trades and
Labor Congress of Canada, to open
at Toronto on September 10.
Some increase in industrial activ-
ity is noetd, yet there are many
thousands still unemployed and others
are working only part time or at
wage rates totally inadequate to
maintain decent Canadian standard
of living"
Warning is given that ''forces are
at work seeking to destroy existing
trade unions and to prevent working
men joining unions of their choice"
The same influences are seeking to
overthrow existing social and labor
legislation and prevent the adoption
of new progressive legislation. De-
spite the disclosures by parliamen-
tary committee of shocking conditions
in Canadian industry, financial and
industrial interests are as brazen as
ever in their efforts to prevent trade
unions correcting these evils.
Therefore, Mr.. Moore finds that the
need of militant action on the part
of international unions in Canada IL
greater than ever.

BAKERY
Workers Pledge Aid in Max
ing Success of Code

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
international Union has offered "all
of its resources to assist in making
success of the newly organized in
dustrial self-government in this vital
industry and in the enforcement Of it's
provisions" in communication to
National Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson from Andrew A.
Myrup, international secretary treas
urer of the union.
'It will be the part of patriotism
a new kind of patriotism" Myrup
continued, Nto observe the law within
the industry and to see that it is
observed by others"
The text of the communication fol-
lows
ct is gratifying to record that the
code for the bakery industry now is
in effect. It is far from perfect. But
it stands for the beginning of self
government in this great industry. 1t
stands for a measure of progress
along democratic lines. 1t opens the
door to future of orderly develop
ment, stability and betterment for all
who contribute usefully to the indus
try.
"The Bakery and Confectionery
Workers international Union will, of
course, strive for improvement, but
we hope to do this in the spirit of
the times and to the end that the en-
tire industry may find it's way to a
firmer basis more advantageous to
all.
"The union offers all of it's resources
to assist in making a success of the
newly organized industrial self-gov-
ernment in this vital industry and in
the enforcement of its provisions. 1t
will be the part of patriotism-a new
kind of industrial patriotisn-to OBJ
serve the law within the industry and
to see that it is observed by others.
Without hesitation and with real
qualification the union, speaking for
the masses of the workers within the
industry, observes the establishment
of code government, for that is what
it amounts to.
"The doors are open. Failure to
achieve the highest possible detectives
can only be the fault of those upon
whom responsibility now rests. 1t will
be our purpose to be helpful in every
manner consistent with the avowed
objectives of the NRA and the code.
And we offer our sincere congratula-
tions to those bakery employers who
have striven with such zeal in an
effort to formulate as beginning,
code for progress and sound general
principles"

JOBLESS
Insurance Started This
Month in Wisconsin

Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin' COM
pulsory unemployment insurance law
the first one in the United States,
went into effect early in July.
Benefits are limited to a maximum
of $40 week for not longer than 10
weeks in any one year. No employe
can be compelled to accept employ
ment, and an employe is free to de-
cline employment where the vacancy
is occasioned by trade dispute, OF
the wages, hours and conditions are
not those prevailing for similar work
in the same locality.
The benefits due an employe under
the law may be applied in part pay
ment Of wages allowed him for any
governmental relief employment.
No employer may require contribu-
tions from employees, or deduct them
from wages, but workers may aug
ment legal benefits by setting up
funds of their own to which they make
voluntary contributions.
Exemptions
Farm labor, personal or domestic
service, governmental unemployment
relief work, teaching and public en-
ployment and interstate railroad en-
ployment are not included in the law
The basic principle of the law in
wolves the setting up of an unemploy-
ment reserve fund to be administered
by the state without liability beyond
the amount of the fund.
A separate account is to be kept
for each employer, except in cases
where employers in the same indus
try or in the same locality prefer to
pool their contributions.
Employers Pay All Contributions
Neither the state nor the wage
Garner is required to make any con-
tribution. The bill assumes that in
voluntary unemployment is justly the
burden of industry. The employer
must contribute each year per cent
of his annual payroll to the reserve
fund, and two-tenths of ! per cent
of his payroll annually to the expense
of administration

Mr.. Green's telegram to Governor
Merriam follows:
"The settlement of industrial dis
putes upon fair and just basis car
not be reached through the use of the
military forces of the state.
"Bayonets, soldiers, and machine
guns are not the instrumentalities
which should be used in the settle

tween employers and employees.
"Your assignment of troops to Sar
Francisco in the longshoremen's
strike is deplored by working people
and their friends everywhere.
"Such action means the substitu-
tion of force for reason and justice.
Unreasonable employers will take
advantage of the presence of youl
| military forces to compel acceptance
of their terms and this means that
! the power of the state is placed on
the side of the employers and against
the workers in their right for higher
living standards and improved work
ing conditions.

urge you to demand that employers
negotiate a settlement of the long

action of your administration and the
police in the longshoremen's strike.
Through the use of force on the
part of the police your administration
