ericksburg, Va, to make the two stud

velt's executive order Of October IL,
regarding competition between prod
ucts of the cotton garment industry
and products of sheltered workshops,
and between products Of the industry

especially as to the enforcement of
the standards of competition with pri-
vate industry established therein" !"
The committees report must be SUBJ

WHAT NEXT?

A new type of hopper car, which
may boom railroad profits and answer
the railroad cry for relief" has been
finished by the Pressed Steel Car
Company, Pittsburgh. The new car
has streamland, bulging figure, but
weighs seven and a half tons less
than ordinary freight cars. Built of
pressed steel, it has capacity of 13
tons more freight. Statistics gathered
by the Pressed Steel Car Company
purport to show that if the present
freight cars were of the new type,
the saving in 1882 would have covered
the deficit after fixed charges on all
railroads, and left $300,000,00O for
dividends.

SAMUEL INSULL

Everyone has read how Samuel In

himself salaries in 1929 of $481 900
for his various corporations. Every
one knows that this amount was in

people outside the insult range know
a circumstance which makes outrage
Gus payments ten times more out

At the very time that he was pay
ing himself these absurd sums, stocks
in the companies from which these
salaries were drawn were being fairly
rammed down the throats of Insults
employees. Practically every man with
more than existing wage was dragoon-
ed into subscribing for stock in pro-
portion to his income; and the pay
ments taken out of his pay envelope.
The worker felt that he had to sub
scribe or lose his job; and these COM

1V Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton, which is one of Uncle Sans other
names, has cool million dollars to
lend for home mortgage relief.
A million dollars is lot Of money
ir any language, and if you don't be-
lieve it, try and get yourself a mil
lion.
Now here, ladies and gemmuns, we
have a million dollars for the various
nephews and nieces to come and get
for the relief of distressed mort
cages, as they are called when a bank
comes around trying to collect what
isn't there.
And there is no line forming on
the right to get this money.
All over the country banks are say
ing they'd like to make loans for home
repair and modernization, under the
government insured loans proposal.
Only relative few are going after
these loans There is one good rea-
son: People, if they are honest-and
most are-will not borrow money un-
less they believe they can pay it back
and they cannot pay it back without
jobs. Nor will they undertake obli
cations unless they feel secure in
their present jobs-and millions do
not.
So, there is no great race to see who
can get to the window first to borrow
all this pile of money.
Look at the situation any way you
like and the first essential is jobs
and security of income.
America has the capacity to pro-
duce more than it has ever used, and
our normal needs never have been
anywhere met.
We seem to be in sink hole out
which we climb step and fall back
step-idle machinery, plenty OF raw
materials, plenty of needs for goods,
plenty of man power to run all the
machinery and more.
The missing link, with which to
hook up these things together, just
doesn't seem to show up.
When there is solid foundation on
which men and women can face the
future, they will take chance and
borrow money. If there is not that
foundation they borrow money only
under the pressure Of irresistible
need.
The craving for this solid founda-
ton is shown, let us remark, some
what by the enormous vote polled for
Upton Sinclair, wisely or otherwise,
and by the reelection of Gov. Olson
in Minnesota.
It will be good idea not to take
too lightly those expressions of pop
ular feeling. They mean plenty.
~
The election results are interpreted
generally to mean that the progressive
spirit is growing. In any event it is
safe to say that popular resentment
against exploitation and greed is
growing.
But let us never overlook the fact
that while popular or mass resentment
is growing, the relatively small but
immensely powerful group of great
corporate interests is hitching up it's

The case gained extensive notoriety
when the firm refused to obey the or

IA of the industrial recovery act.
While the department of justice held
