In your issue Of Dec. 20, appeared
an article giving details of a plan
for demonstrating" workers in the
suburbs Of Decatur. This is putting
into practice what Professor NIoley
has described as "Roosevelt's Major
proposition"
1t is proposed to build cheap
houses, each with a plot of ground
for vegetable garden, so that work.
ers in the city may make their homes
there and by raising their vegetables
supplement their low wages and not
be dependent entirely on the pay
envelopes.
1t is just another of the pxopo-
SitionS that have been put forth to
help CD the poor workers. Wages
always are based on the bare cost
Of existence, and when the worker,
after working all day in the factory,
can go home and put in several
hours in his garden and produce a
part of the food for his family, the
cost Of living will be reduced so
that the employer will not have to
pay so much wages.
Like all the other plans, this one
is for the benefit Of the rich at the
expense of the poor. A careful
study Of all the different projects
put forth as for the benefit Of the
workers, will convince any one that
the only efforts that are being put
forth are to restore to the rich their
ability to exploit the poor and make

During Christmas week In your
paper I read an article wherein
some one accused an employer un-
justly.
It would be more fair to all con-
cerned, if you would require the
names of such people in those mes
Sages.
One who is innocent Of the mes
sage, might be accused unjustly,
where there are many employees.
I, for one, think the message was
unjust.

Property used in contravention of
public interest is comfortable by
abatement process on the public
nuisance theory. The public inter-
est which is protected relates to
public health, peace, morals and
safety. All property rights of in
dividuals are based on the theory
that their use shall not be destruc-
tive of public welfare.
If we carry this theory to it's logi-
cal conclusion, we also must declare
it to be a nuisance in contravention
of public interest, if any property
privately owned is withheld from
use in promoting the public welfare.
The social compact of orderly soci-
ETY. requires a contribution of in
dividuals to society as well as pro-
tecting the individual in his enjoy
ment of personal rights.
Withholding property from use,
whether it be machinery, money,
natural resources, buildings, or any
equipment for service to the public,
can be and is as much a nuisance,
as throwing emery into the bearings
of machine by labor sabotage, or
labor which holds down production.
Our whole system of economics is
based on sabotage, in that we curb
production Of the things that would
increase our living standards to the
amount that will yield profits only
to the producers. In our fallaciouS
system of production, we have
not only speeded up production by
machinery and progress, but have
eliminated the selling of the pro-
ducts by scrapping the consumers of
the goods, who are also the pro-
ducers. Capital does not consume
goods.
Fifteen million workers and their
families are the discarded market
for American goods on an increased
production schedule. Without this
market, hope for lifting the depres-
sion or the realization Of profitable
production are a mirage. Why chase
foreign trade rainbowS while I'M
limited markets are begging at
home? People on made work baS-
kets and public relief work have
been junked as consumers.

attributed to the disease.

Missouri Man Succeeds
Arthur S. Rosichan,
Resigned.
DEPARTING SUPERVISOR
ONCE INVOLVED IN ROW
Leaves Here to Take Over Jewish
Social Service Post in
New York.

Richard Gebhardt, transient relief
director of Missouri, will become act
ing supervisor of the District Tran
sient Relief Bureau shortly after the
first Of the year, succeeding Arthur
s. Rosichan, resigned.
Rosichan'S resignation was an
nounced late yesterday. He is leav-
ing Washington to take a post in
New York City as superintendent of
the Bureau of Homeless of the Jewish
Social Service Agency at an increase
in pay
Replacement of Rosichan, who has
been supervisor of transient relief here
since organization of that agency In
September. 1888, was recommended to
Commissioner Allen recently by
special investigator who made a study
Of his administration. The investi-
gator. Daniel Sands. reported to Com
missioner Allen and Federal Fmerg-
ency Relief Director Harry L. Hopkins
that in his opinion Rosichan had in
sufficient experience for the post.
Custer Had Been Asked.
Appointment of Sands as investiga-
tor was made by Allen after the
Transient Relief Bureau head had
been severely criticized by group Of
transients who organized committee,
called on Hopkins and Allen and de-
manded Rosichan's removal.
When Sands returned to Chicago,
where he supervises transient relief
in Illinois, Allen named Gebhardt
to complete the inquiry.
Gebhardt was back in Missouri
today. Officials close to Allen said
he probably would take over the post,
however, within the next week or
10 days.
Gebhardt. educated at Washington
University at st. Louis, was employed
for IS years by the National Bear
ingS Corp. He left this post to re-
enter social service work and was
given a place on the st. Louis Relief
Committee. Public Welfare Director
Elwood Street said he was very glad
to get the services of Mr.. Gebhardt."
Gebhardts Record Praised.
Discussing the appointment, Street
said:
Inquiries made about him In
MlSSOurl Drought replies tnat ne has
done a real job there. He is
possessed with enthusiasm for his
work and tactful consideration of the
opinion of others, and, as well, has
quiet. considerate determination nee
essary in social work.
I'VE are very sorry to lose the serv-
Ices of Mr.. Rosichan We are glad
that he is going to a better Job, one
not so turbulent"
Rosichan, a graduate of Western
Reserve University, has devoted his
career to social service work. Before
taking over the transient relief post,
he was connected with welfare organ
izations in Cleveland, New York and
Washington. He is a former director
OF the Jewish Social Service Agency
here.
