A BY-GONE BUGABOO

GAYS the Honorable Bertrand H. Smell:
~ The new deals experimental efforts to
put business in a strait jacket and make the
American farmer do a goose-step at the be-
hest of government obviously are on the way
to abandonment"
Thus does the house Republican leader
and spokesman serve notice that his party
will try to ride back into power in this off,
year election on the back of that familiar
bugaboo, government in business"
Before joining in the Smell wall, other Re
publican "outs" may do we'll to study the
record.
The United States Chamber Of Commerce
in convention last week found fault with only
a few details of the new deal. Instead, it
praised both the purposes and accomplish
ments of the Roosevelt agencies. Said its
president, Henry I. Hartman:
The chaos of unbridled competition can
not be permitted to return. Some federal
agencies cooperating with business must
continue to carry out the major functions ex-
ercised by the NRA and the AAA'
Our housekeeping" farmers far from
being dissatisfied with the AAA voluntary
crop-reduction program are actually pushing
for still more drastic control The compulsory
cotton quota law was enacted over the mis-
givings of the administrations open-minded
secretary of agriculture. 1t was sponsored by
the ultra-conservative Bankhead brothers,
backed by 95.2 per cent of the thousands of
cotton farmers who participated in refer
endum poll.
Come now small manufacturers and bust
ness men, asking for government loans to
carry on-asking for government loans because
private financial institutions either can not
or will not supply the needed credit. To meet
this just demand from small industries the
administration moves to improve the credit
facilities of the Federal Reserve Sy.tem and
enlarge the lending powers of the RFC.
The federal reserve is still in conservative
hands. So is the RFC, that creature of the
Hoover administration which was brought into
being by the unyielding insiStence and uncom-
promising necessity of big business. Now
little business wants and needs the same type
of credit assistance.
Our farmers. just recovering from a long
period of falling prices and foreclosures, do
not consider the administrations cooperative
planning for their own improvement goose
step
Business, meaSurably freed from the terrors
of ruthless competition and given lifeline
of credit which private finance had failed to
provide. is not aware of the alleged govern
ment ait-jacket."
The Hon. Mr.. Smell must be keeping his
Gear to the ground" in the drawing room of
the Bankers Club. Some members of this
club, having already enjoyed enough govern
ment in business" TO save their own hides. now
are quite anxious to get their grip again on
the reins of commerce and industry.

Lieutenant Sheehan deserves quite
a bit of stock in the company for
the unusual pains he has taken in

strikers.
Oh, yes, the BUSES are still being

doubly sure. What is this thing
called public safety?
Those who are so satisfied with
their salaries must be on the pri-
vate pay roll. At least, the seam
ers must not be among those who
were fired and replaced by new
workers at the magnificent wage
of So week.
Wonder if those still working
think they will get rich quick by
getting the strikers back at the $25
head that j, A. promised them?
Guess again!

THE BOOTLEGGER's FRIEND
a sCRIPPs-HowARD NEwsPAPERl

THE coast guard is spending taxpayers
money for a feet Of sesplanes to wage war
on rum runners
Had We used discretion in our liquor tar
ifs. there would be no rum rows today of the
Atlantic, Pacific and gulf coasts. The rum
rows exist chiefly because of the huge profits
to be gained by smuggling in liquor to avoid
the IS a gallon tariff.
The internal revenue bureau is preparing to
spend more of the taxpayers millions to
mobilize liquor tax enforcement army Of
1000.
Such vast and costly bureaucracy would
be unnecessary we're our liquor tariffs and
taxes and the profits of distillers kept within
reason.
We travel in a mad circle. We levy i'm
possible tariffs. and prevent the legal liquor
industry from replenishing its inadequate
supply of good liquor. We levy stiff taxes and
make even the cheapest legal liquor too costly
for the average mans pocketbOok.
Thus we make it possible for the bootleg
industry to thrive by robbing our government
of revenue. And the government dissipates the
revenue it does collect by buying more equip
ment and employing more job-holders to
wage an uneven and unnecessary war on
smugglers and bootleggers.

Strikers at Real Silk, Fulton,
and National, I want to inform
you through The Times that all
your acquaintance in the labor
movement are in sympathy with
your struggle for the right to live.
The last state legislature passed
law forbidding yellow dog"
contracts. 1t occurs to me that
the company union at Real Silk
has ear marks of a yellow dog"
violation.
Now, a word to the workers who
are still employed in Real Silk.
You are sure sold on rugged in

Mr.. Goodman is an ardent be-
lever, so much so that he had a
church built in his little home. He
lives on millionaire" row and
while at the plant he is dickering
with detective agencies to hire
more guards to protect his
employees.

STRIKERS WIFE
HAS HER SAY
By a Strikers wife


I would like to ask certain persons
in indianapolis why it is that they
seem to know more about the Real
Silk strike situation than the ones
who are participating in it.
I work with the public; conse-
quently I have an opportunity to
get the general consensus of opinion
regarding this matter 1t seems for
the most part, the public believes
the strike is not justified.
These people are satisfied with
the present wages; the strikers are
not, and know that they are entitled
to more. That is the trouble with
our country today; We do not look
into the future and fight for our
rights, but are satisfied with pre-
vailing conditions.
Those strikers are pounding the
pavement because they want
union mill and what goes with it.
They are tired of dictators; they
want little sayso themselves. Isn't
that what our President wants-col-
lective bargaining?
J. A. Goodman gets 20 per cent
more for hose than the union mills.
He pays his employees 20 per cent
less. Who gets the money? The
employees don't.
Ask J. A. if he is getting the
hose elsewhere. If not, he had bet
ter quit advertising ~ingless hose.
AS there are not enough knitters
working to run those stripers, yet
enough is produced to fill orders.
He can not possibly buy enough
ringleSS hose, because union mills
will not sell to him under present
conditions.

PRICE OF RUTHLESSNESS

archives in the town of Kazan recently
turned up a good deal of material bearing
on the execution of Alexander Ulianov. who
was put to death in 1887 as plotter against

a reminder that this execution was probably
the most costly one the Russian government
ever ordered

WHY FUNERAL WAS
HELD FOR E. M. B. A
By a Boarder on Strike.

BY a BOarder Strike.
In answer to a boarder in the
plant, yes, we buried the E. M.
B. A., which was the only human
thing members of bona fide la
Dor union could do.
The E. M. B. A., or any company
union, is not fair and square, and
most of them have sprung up since
the NRA as a shielded substitute to
try to stop dumb employees from
joining a bona f1de labor organiza-
ton like the A. F. of L., and that is
the reason the workers are on strike
at the Real Silk plant. They are
going to continue their strike until
they have won.
Section IA of the NRA code gives
any employee the right to join the
A. F. of L., and that is the reason
so many persons all over the United
States have exercised this right and
do not join the boss union, or in
this case, the E. M. B. A.
Employees loan money to the COM
pany at 3 per cent interest, but
when they borrow, they are charged
8 per cent, SO you see Mr.. Good
man has a nice bank profiteering on
his employees money.
The reason Mr.. Goodman will not
sign with the A. F. of L. are that
his help will cost him more money.
Sanitary plant conditions must pre-
vail, bonus and penalty system will
be abolished and work distributed
fairly among employees.

Several years ago, when prosperity
was in the land, it was my wont to
steal an occasional Sunday evening
from worldly pleasure, and, with a
magnanimous spirit of Self-denial,
give it to the tabernacle.
I remember that at the time I was
rather amused at the smilingly ear
nest face of Mr.. Cook. the preacher.
In the good old days all of us
smiled. For, wasn't God good?
Didn't He give us plenty of good
food, dress us in expensive clothes
and fill our pockets with money?
But were all of us earnest? Were
we honest with and true to the God
with a generous hand?
Impelled by some secret urge,
with the smile gone from my face
and the money from my pockets,
last Sunday again found me in the
600 block on North Delaware street.
know that the tabernacle called
to me out of the past. And Mr..
Cook is still there with his smilingly
earnest face preaching the doctrine
of truth and loyalty to the finer
things.
Shaken financially, but still I'M
daunted by the economic storm, his
faith has lost for me its amusing
qualities and appears in its sub

all we can't fool God, and I'm COM
