ton about his attitude toward a
central bank for this country. He
asked the inquirer who had raised
that ghost. Wall Street does not
want Washington to rock the bank
ing boat any more than is neces-
sary, and in that connection it GER
tainly does not wish for anything
which would suggest that the gov
eminent might take over the banks.
For some months past big bust
ness men both in and out of WASH
ington have been asking the Presi-
dent to help restore the confidence
of the general public. Apparently
Mr.. Roosevelt and his lieutenants
have been going out o ftheir way
to do it. In addition to the relief
the court action this week will bring
to the railroads it affords reassur-
ance to moneyed people generally
that the judicial branch of the gov
eminent is acting as a policeman
guarding their interests.
CINCLAIR had given the people
- in the east quite a scare. They
are still somewhat afraid, but the
poll indicates that efforts to beat
him for the election are meeting
with success. 1t probably never will
be known whether the break in the
market for securities of companies
with California connections was en-
gineered to give people of the
Golden State a scare or whether it
was a natural development caused
by those who really were afraid Mr..
Sinclair's EPIC plan would do more
killing than curing.
In addition to the political and
seni-political evel op m nts the
Street had reason for increased con-
f1dence because of happenings in
the industrial world. Reports
showed a further increase in the
output Of electricity, and four COM
panies this week declared extra
dividends in addition to their usual
disbursements.
CLARENCE M. WOOLLEY,
~ chairman of the board of the
American Radiator and Standard
Sanitary Corporation, added to the
general cheerfulness by relating
how the business of his company
had turned upward since early
August for the first time in about
six years. The increase in the first
fourteen days of October amounted
to IS per cent, he said.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-The New

Eastman's order rejecting a routing
change of the Louisville & Nash

This appeal will constitute the

NO GOING BACKWARD

A business news agency says that
in the background of many "business
minds" is the idea that as soon as
prosperity returns, the old normal
higher hours of work will be restored
This is delusion on the part of
the business minds" Such an idea
is contrary to progress. Once shorter
hours are established, there will be
no going back to old standards. And
if there should be, it would mean
disaster for the nation.
That the business minds" should
even dream of restoring former hours
shows that they do not realize what
has happened and is happening. Prog
ress means ever shorter hours and
higher pay, as pointed out by organ
lied labor. The nation is gradually
coming to realize this and "business
minds" may rest assured there will
be no return to old conditions.

world should be thankful.
ORGANIZE NOW

Millions have gone back to work,
through operation Of the codes,
through PWA and CWA.
A new social order is being built.
New forces are in control. A certain
kind of industrial government is be-
ing built. Employers are working
frantically to create company unions.
There is one way to meet the new
situation. That is with strong trade
unions that can stand up and speak
with tones of authority. You can
have all the justice in the world on
your side, but you are heard more
clearly when you speak with a strong
voice. The biggest thing in 1884 is
organization of workers into unions.
Organization took big jump in
1888. But it has long jump ahead
Of it if it is going to fit into the new
order in place of authority.
More millions of workers must be
brought into unions. It's wenn enough
to say it's someone else's job. But if
it is left that way all will be licked.
It's everybody's job, this business of
organizing. Every Central Labor
Union in the country should now plan
it's 1884 organizing campaign.
Only through unions can labor par
ticipants in the making Of terms and
conditions of work, whether the en-
ployers are private employers or gov
ernment, whether the contest is with
employers, code authorities or govern
mental agencies.
There is no short cut and there is
no substitute for the union. Organ
izing work is and must be of the first
Importance 1t is not second to any
thing.

They grow apart, rapidly.
But we can, as nation, repeat
much of the same kind of abuse and
much the same kind of threat, if we
don't watch out.
Only it will be worse, if it comes,
possibly fatal to what is left of what
some folks wistfully call "the old
order"
Won't it be much better if we
watch OUT?

GERMAN CHRISTIANS REBEL

The most encouraging news that
has come out of Germany in many
weeks is that a great body of Ger
man Christians are baking at accept
ing their religion from the Nazis, who
seek to make the church mere ad-
junct of the Hitler government. They
are opposing the attempt of the Hit
Ter gang to boss the Protestant
Church, and are defying the rule of
the Hitler-appointed "Reich Bishop"
Events since Hitler's advent to
power a year ago have given the i'm
preston that Germans are race of
rabbit-like beings, incapable of re-
sistance to tyranny. That they are

Merger of the unions in the head
wear industry is an historic event
that seems destined to bring good to

together two veteran trade unions. the
merger does away with jurisdictional
differences in the industry and opens

The school officials Immediately got

more phony lunches to the first lady.

SALES TAX DEFEATED AGAIN


In rejecting the proposal for
$400, 100000 sales tax the ways and
means committee of the federal house
of representatives reflected the view
of the great masses of the American
people.
The American Federation of Labor,
representing millions of workers and
all persons receiving modest incomes
has fought the sales tax as a policy
of raising revenue for the government
from the very inception of the propa-
ganda launched by the wealthy in IA
vor of it.
The scheme is an open and unpatri-
otic attempt to shift taxation from
the rich and well-to-do, who are able
to pay it without the sacrifice of any
useful element in their lives, to the
masses of the people who are least
able to bear the tax burden and whose
living standards are necessarily re-
duced by every dollar extorted from
them by tax collectors.
The sales tax is also reprehensible
because it is a concealed tax. 1t is
collected from every purchaser of an
article, but the tax is not revealed so
that consumers can see and under
stand the amount they are called upon
to pay.
Frequently sales tax advocates
throw a sop to working men and
women and all other small-income
groups by exempting the necessaries
of life from their reactionary pro-
posal. This is an attempt to deceive
the masses. If the sales tax limited
should become law, the wealthy and
their propagandists would immediate
ly endeavor to have the limitations re-
moved and extend the scheme to cover
sales of all articles, including prod
ucts necessary to sustain life.
The American Federation of Labor
congratulates the members of the
ways and means committee for their
refusal to adopt system of taxation
which is nothing but an instrument to
"soak the poor"

gested lawsuit. Under this theory
of responsibility injured workmen
were entitled to compensation from
an employer only if they could prove
that neither they nor other workmen
in the plant We're guilty of contribu-
tory negligence. In practice, all that
an injured workman was assured of
was the right to bring a lawsuit if he
could afford it, or if some attorney
would take the case on contingent
fee.
What has replaced this conception
of justice may be called industrial liza
bility. 1t is simply plan to recog-
nize accidents as one of the necessary
risks of industry, the costs of which
should be borne by society rather
than by either employer or employe
alone. In effect, the employer insures
against accidents under the sponsor
ship of the state, and the cost of the
insurance is transferred to society in
the market price of products. Under
this system, the injured workman gets
the bread of compensation rather than
the stone of lawsuit.
That some Ohio employers have
been lodging payment of their share
of insurance by not making full re-
port of the number of their employees,
and that there have been fraudulent
claims by workmen for injuries, is
charged by Ex-Governor Cox. That
the present administration has al
ready started an investigation is Gov.
Whites answer. The system is so

About twenty-six billion dollars
were drained off and poured into for
eign countries in about ten years be-
fore the 1929 smash.
Buying power of wage earners was
held down while the House of Have
raked in the golden flood of profit.
New securities issues-securities is

bale, and the suckers fell in droves.
Wages were cut to pieces and buy
ing power, never high enough, went
still lower.
Any study of the whole picture
shows that the real key to the truth
about the crash is located at just
about that point. When wages went
down the whole works went down,
because buyers couldn't buy enough to
create market for mass production.
The queer thing about human ma
ture is that it is perfectly willing to
go through the same process again.
Dividends are picking up. Corpora

wages. Every decent wage proposal

employers.
