MURPHY ATTACKS
COCONUT OIL LEVY
Philippine Governor Hopes

MANILA, Philippine Islands, April
13.-Hope that President Roosevelt
would veto the revenue bill II 1t Is
finally passed with the Scent tax
on coconut oil was expressed yester-
day bv Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy of
the Philippines.
From his Summer offices at Baguio
the Governor described the levy as
"ineouitable and unworthy" Philippine
producers of coconut oil termed the
tax, voted by the Senate yesterday, a
virtual embargo.
Leaders Withhold Comment.
Just what effect the tax will have
on the Filipinos attitude toward in
dependence, if any, was obscure as
legislative leaders here withheld COM
ment pending possible alteration by
Congress or a presidential veto.
Kenneth B. Day, manager of the
Philippine Refining Co., said the levy
would be "ruinous" and have the same
effect as the original proposed levy, as
revenue return 20 the insular treasury
would not be passed on to the
producers.

Gov. Gen. Murphy has repeatedly
voiced his opposition to the tax.
The American-owned Manila Bull
letin said the measure would amount
to abandonment of American-Philip
pine free trade. 1t would betray the
flag, trade and principles of fair deal
ing for a bag of Midwestern farm

The coconut producing provinces al
ready have been hard hit by low prices.
Their condition led the Department of
Interior to announce it had decided
to grant a 33 per cent remission Of
land taxes in Tayabas and Laguna
provinces, which are the chief coconut
producers.

Mechanisms utilizing the photo

troll to aid patients who have lost the
use Of their limbs from paralysis or
other causes were recently demon
strated at the Reconstruction Hos
pital, New York city. The instru-
ments were devised to help 14-year-
old boy, paralyzed from the neck
down. An arrangement of two light
beams and a photo-electric cell above
his bed gave him the power, by in
terrupting one or other of the beams
with his head, to turn pages of a
book, switch radio on or off or ring

RESULTS OF MUNICIPAL

The Burns & Mcdonnell Engineer

Kansas City, have just put out book
with the above title, giving the rec
ords of 365 American cities and towns
with municipal lighting plants. These
communities are scattered through a.
states; they range in size from village
of less than two thousand people to
metropolitan communities like Seattle
and Los Angeles. And their figures
prove that public ownership pays.
Light is 16 per cent cheaper to
domestic consumers in towns with
public-owned plants than in those
served by private companies. 1t is
also 18 per cent more abundant
that is, householders who buy cheaply
from the city take 18 per cent more

of monopoly. Many municipal plants

seemed to get at the seat of the trou-
BILE, or wear out the resources.
There did not seem to be anything
worth fighting about, down in that
unknown and unexplored jungle. But,
suddenly, in a session of the Council
of the League of Nations, Spaniard
named Alvarez del Vayo, member of
the Chaco commission, spit out the
truth about the Chaco business, when
he stated that "oil has a big role" in
the bloody battles that are going on.
It seems that Paraguay and Bolivia
are just being used as pawns by some
big oil interests, who play into the
hands of the arms manufacturers
American oil money, paid to Amer
lean armament makers, is supporting
the battle and making it possible to
keep up the fight.

"Thus it is clear" the A. F. of L.
says, "that the farm problem is not
one of taking acreage out Of produc-
tion, but seeing that our farm prod
ucts are distributed to those who need
them. This requires considerable in
crease in workers buying power, for
workers total income in industry to-
day is still As per cent below 1929
and even in 1929 we still had 2O,O00,-
600 persons living below the minimum
level for health and efficiency; con-
sumption of goods was not nearly
enough to bring factory production
up to capacity, or to use the whole
product of our farms"

LABOR MILITANCY GROWING

LABOR MILITANCY GROWING
The Virginia Federation of Labor
has served notice that unless employ
ers who violate the codes and the re-
covery act are promptly punished, it
will no longer strive to prevent strikes
against such employers. Coming
from the conservative state of Vir-
ginia, this is a significant declaration
of labor feeling.
Labor throughout the nation is be-
coming "fed up" on employer evasion
and violation of the codes and the re-
covery act. Big strikes at Toledo,
Minneapolis and other points, as well
as the action of Virginia labor, indi-
cate the workers resentment.
Strikers are now at new high and un-
less employers change their attitudes,
they will increase even more, in all
probability.
The workers are justifiably angry.
They have been patient for many
months, and are becoming convinced
that their patience has not been ap-
preciated. Apparently some employ
ers will not do the right thing until
they are compelled to.
Labor's resentment is not confined
to chiseling employers. Hostility to
some of the administrative methods
of the NRA and the code authorities
is increasing fast and is close to the
explosion point.
There is a growing feeling of baf-
f1ement and a feeling of being double
crossed. There is a growing feeling
that labor is being given the run
around" and that the point of NRA as
to increased purchasing power and
new employment has been too widely
missed. The leaders looked for no

SOUND NRA EXEMPTION RULING

A Cleveland worsted mill recently
asked exemption from the machinery
hours limitation of the code for the
wool textile industry on the ground
that a strike in March had decreased
production, and it wished to make up
for lost ground. The NRA denied the
application.
The code authority and the advisory
boards took the sound position that
the granting of the application would
tend to establish a dangerous prece-
dent. 1t pointed out that if employers
knew they could secure exemptions
to make up for time lost by Strikes.
they would be less apt to make an
earnest endeavor to get along in
peace with their employees.
If the ruling is an indication of
NRA policy in the future, it is of
great Importance and significance.
Labor believes that the application of
the Cleveland mill was very properly
denied, and hopes that similar appli-
cations will be rejected.

WAGNER POINTS OUT DANGER

Senator Robert F. Wagner points
out the danger from the unwillingness
of business, though beneftting from
present improved conditions, to fur
ther reduce hours and increased wages.
''If the return to prosperity, as meas
ured by increased industrial output
and higher profits, is going to be ac-
companied by a desire to return to
the wage philosophy of the 1920's, ad-
ditional and more serious depressions
are only matter of few years." he
told the senate.

OIL KEEPS THE WAR GOING

Intelligent people have been won
dering for some months why the war
down in South America does not wear
out. Usually one of these South
American disturbances comes to a
logical limit after about so long-and
the logic is usually in the neighbor-
hood of the cash supply. But this
Chaco war between Paraguay and
Bolivia drags on and on. The Pan
American Congress tried to step in
after a friendly fashion, without
seeming to interfere. The League Of
Nations at Geneva has tried to find
way to check the slaughter in the

THE FARM PROBLEM AND
BUYING POWER

In the long run, increase of Amer
lean buying power is the only solu-
tion of the farm problem, not re-
striction of production. This is point
ed out by the American Federation
of Labor in referring to recent de-
partment of agriculture study of the
consuming needs of our population for
farm products and the producing ca
pacity of our farms.
The department found, the A. F.
of L. says, that if our population are
to have the food they need for an
adequate diet at moderate cost, the
harvest of about 280,000,O00 acres of
land will be required annually. For
non-food products, such as cotton,
America will need the harvest of
about 30,OOO,00O acres, making a total
of 310,0o0,O0O acres required for our
own population.
In addition, in normal years, the
product of 5O,O0O,OOO acres is export
ed. This makes total of 100000, 0,OO0
required for our normal needs. Act
ually, in the period 1928-1932, we har-
vested an average Of 100000, 900
acres.

Employment, PayrOlls
Show Gains in Illinois

Chicago (ILNS)-Industria condi-
tions in Illinois continued to improve
slowly in April, reports from 1892
manufacturing and non-manufactur-
ing establishments within the state
indicate. Increases of 1.8 per cent in
employment and 2.3 per cent in pay
rolls, reported to the state depart
ment of labor for all industries COM
bined, were the third consecutive
monthly increases. The increases
were contrary to the downward move
ment usually experienced during
April.

Darrow picked certain weak spots
in NRA armora. On those he bored
in hard enough. But he overlooked
entirely the weakest spot. A better
and more serviceable report than the
Darrow report can be written and IL
ought to be written.
Darrow took up the poor business
mans burden. He got in the so-called
little fellows corner.
He didn't even see the wage earn
er's corner, which is odd enough Tor
the courageous old warrior, and per-
haps still more odd for Charles Ed
ward Russell, who helped write the
Darrow report.
IF the average of what is called lit

orally does play he would have long
since had more sympathy and his
position today would be much
stronger.
After all, there is a question as to
how far the body polite or the body
economic is bound to support man
in a given position just because ne
wants to be in that position and when
he has ceased to find justification by
service rendered to society.
That constitutes no plea for monop-
oily privately owned, either.

sloppy-eyed over little business, while
we let the millions of wage earners

any cushioning of public interest.
Little business and big business
have one aim in common-to get all
they can. And both are squawklng
to the high heavens against rates OF
wages and hours of pay imposed by
NRA codes, miserable as thoHe hours
and wages generally are.
| Meanwhile ten millions of workers
continue to go jobless. That is worth
more than a weeping spell. 1t is
worth more than a report. 1t de-
mands action.
Do these squawking business men,
big and little, imagine this condition
can continue? Do they imagine that

backward toward old terms, or to the
right and more conservatism

story is one that will loom big in his

The individualism and the embitter-

COMPANY UNION PICTURED

Organized labor's claim that the
company union is nothing more nol
less than scheme devised by certain
employers to impose their dictatorial
DEGREES on employees and prevent their
organization in bona fide independent
trade unions is reflected in cogenI
language in an editorial in "Amer.
ica," Catholic review published il
New York city.
Discussing the declaration by Sen
ator Wagner, chairman of the Ma
tional Labor Board, that the company
union is an association controlled by
the employer, with it's expenses pait
by the employer and it's decisions us
ually subject to the employers veto
and that it is not an instrument tx
enable the worker to bargain with hi.
employer on the basis of equality, th'
editorial says:
Isolated from other labor
groups, unable to profit by their
special knowledge, and forbidden
to employ outside counsel, the
company union is but a Quaker
gun used against an enemy equip
ped with the most powerful mu-
nitions that science can devise
and money buy. Certainly, it can
| not give it's members the weight
and authority which they need
| to bargain collectively with the
employer. Indeed, unless the two
parties can meet on an approx
| imately equal footing, collective
bargaining is a sham. In dealing
| with the company union, the en-
ployer usually has the agreeable
task of driving a bargain with
himself. That is why some of our
largest and most ruthless en-
ployers anathematize the union
affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, and foster
| the company union"
| The editorial concludes that tn
company union imperils "the right
of workers in general, and thus make
the problems of every wage earne
more difficult of solution. In any cr
sis, it necessarily ranks the claim
of the employer above those of th
worker"
The conclusion reached by the ed
| torial in america" is, of course, re
fected by all progressive and res
soning citizens. Nevertheless, official
of some of our largest corporation
notably those in the automobile an
iron and steel industries, continue t
impose this monstrosity on their en-
| ployes in violation of both the lette
and spirit of the labor section of TIL
national industrial recovery act.

GETS
LETTER SENT
BY D|LL|NCER

In view of the fact that the world
knows John Dillinger, the nations
No. l public enemy, was killed by
federal men in Chicago two weeks
ago yesterday, the above head may
lead readers to believe that the hot
weather has got us at last.
However, the head stands as it is
written. We not only have a letter
from Dillinger but it is on file in
the office for any interested par
ties who may desire to do so to in
Spect.
Lest we be stampeded by crowd
of curious ones, and believing this
thing has gone far enough anyhow
if it has been read down to this
point, the letter is from H. E. Dill
niger, chairman of the Ten Year
Highway club, with headquarters at
Placerville, California, who enclosed
a pamphlet describing the highway
plan which, in brief, provides that
every two years the state shall take
over 20 per cent of the county roads
and 20 per cent of the county gas
fund. In 10 year period this would
put all roads under state control and
require the state to keep them up.
The state would also keep all of the
gas tax funds as the counties would
have no further use for them.
So, we have a letter from Mr.. Dill
linger, and are calling Mr.. Ripley's
attention to it.

ing"
That building he described as
"the building of great public pro-
jects for the benefit of the public
and with the definite objective
of building human happiness"
Il believe too," Mrs. Roosevelt
observed, that we are building a
better comprehension of our ma
tional needs. People understand, as
never before, the splendid public
purpose that underlies develop
ment of great power sites, the i'm
proving of navigation, the preven-
ton of floods and erosion of our
agricultural fields, the prevention
of forest fires, the diversification
of farming and the distribution of
industry"
we know more and more that
the east has a stake in the west and
the west has a stake in the east;
that the nation must and shall be
considered as a whole and not as
an aggregation of disjointed groups.
May we come better to know every
part of our great heritage in the
days to come"

also encompassed a declaration of
public policy regarding uses of the
federal parks system, was made
from Two Medicine Chalet in the
heart of the snoW-capped Rockies
of Glacier National park.

for him to spend most of his day
on the train, the Fort Peck arrival
being fixed for p. m. (CST. He
will be about three hours at the
site before returning to his special
train to get under way for Devils
Lake, North Dakota, where on the
following day another public works
project will be inspected.
