A BARGAINING TARIFF

WHEN two such prominent Republicans as
w Chairman OBrien of the tariff COM
mission and former Secretary of State Slim
son urge passage Of the Roosevelt reciprocal
tariff BILL it is time for the country to realize
that this is not PARTISAN issue.
The notion seems to have spread that this
is a measure to cut American tariffs drastical-
ly while foreign nations continue to protect
themselves behind trade barriers 1t is not.
Its purpose is to provide the President with
bargaining authority so that he can obtain
more foreign markets for our farm and
factory SURPRISES.
Most foreign executives have that bargain
ing power already. and they have been trad
ing among themselves while we have been left
out in the cold. In fact. there have been
more than a hundred such foreign reciprocal
trade agreements.
World trade measured by combined i'm
ports fell in the period 1929-1933 from $685.
100000 900 to $4,000 100000. Our own exports
fell in that time from an annual S.. 241. 900 900
to s1673OOOOOO
Because We can not materially increase en-
ployment without increasing production and
SURPRISES. we need to regain as much as pos
Sible of that s3,5OOOOOOOO lost American
market abroad. But at the same time it is
desirable that this exchange be chiefly in non
competitive products.
Thus the process of foreign trade recovery
requires not only bargaining but also plan
ming. This delicate operation can not be car
ried out by log7rolling congressional methods.
Experience has shown that concluSively. Hence
the present flexible provision of the law al
lowing the President TO change rates up to so
per cent. But, as Chairman OBrien and
others have pointed out. it is not very flexible
in fact. So the new measure is needed.
Since no general international tariff reduc-
ton agreement is in sight. the only remedial
action that can be taken now is along the line
of In-help-you-if-you n-help-me. as between
the United States and individual nations

DESCRIBES STRIKE AS
AMERICAN CAUSE
BY a Knitter on Strike.

BY Knitter on Strike.
The only trouble with Hoagland
is that he or she thinks they have
the world with a fence around it,
and nobody can tell them anything
different. Some knitters might
make S35 week. but very few. In
the last six months some have been
lucky to make the minimum. The
fellow who said it was worth 500 a
week is right, and know we're out
on strike to get the wages we have
coming to us, and we're out to win.
Hoagland doesn't know why we
are out. or he or she would be with
us. We are fighting for an Ameri-
can cause, which the President has
given us the right, in Section IA.
We are out to get a living wage,
working conditions and a union
which will uphold us and help us
to keep our living wage after We
get it.
The only way of getting a fair
wage is by organization and not by
an EN- B. A. You employees on the
inside think hard and learn about our
union. I think you will be with us.

WORKER STILL ON JOB
REPLIES TO STRIKERS

By A. G. Hoagland.
1t seems to me that if the E. M.
B. A. was unfair I wouldn't wait
eight years to quit.
1 have been running a footer ma
chine for five years and I figure 81
an hour is darn good living wages.
You ask me to get little more
education. I figure I have more
common sense than you, by staying
with my job.
If a knitting job is worth 500
a week. why don't the union ask
for it?
Mr.. Striker, you ask me if I was
thinking only Of myself. I would
rather be a "scab" and keep my wife
and children from going hungry
than like your wife and children
will be doing when you have no
more pay checks coming in.
Don't forget that the city will
not keep you as long as you are
striker.

get So a week to start with. but why

ADVOCATES GIVING
JOHN A CHANCE
BY Mrs. Ida Fischer.


1, like ninety-nine out of one
hundred. an for DilInger and hope
sincerely cur Governor will give the
signed petitions a lot of thought. I
believe he would make a good citizen
if given a chance. I will guarantee
if a petition is started in Indian
apolis, ninety-nine out of every
hundreds will sign, to give John a
new start in life.
Everything committed was blamed
falsely on him. That is why other
crooks got busy, for John was
getting all the blame.
If a petition is needed here to
help him I will be glad to help get
it signed. I know John personally
and his heart is as big as any ones.
He is not a bad man, even though
he did slip out Of Crown Point.

SEES FAVORITISM IN
HOME LOAN WORK
By Seeger.

BY Seeger.
Since Uncle Sam is going to
guarantee the Home Owners Loan
Corporation bonds, the pie counter
favorites who get to sell" the ma
terial and the contractors who bid"
on the repairs of this property
ought to be forced to compete in
the open, by having the corporation
post the location, type of work and
specifications for public bidding.
This is really Uncle Sans baby"
and no group Of insiders or pan
handlers ought to kidnap the spoils.
Padding the costs is unjust for the
saved property owner" and for the
bond holders.
Sack holding" loans on property
where loans were too high. or where
no real down payment was made,
soon may burden the corporation
with dead horses"
Of course, the trick is easy with
the shreWd real estate operators,
but what a stink later. No buzzards,
please.

ACCUSES POLICEMAN
OF BEING DRUNK
By a Baseball Fan.

BY Baseball Fan.
I was standing in front of Perry
stadium after the opening game,
when a well-known doctors wife
approached and asked for a sober
policeman. There were two DRINKS
trying to find their car and they
picked this doctors wife's car.
She went to an officer to report
the two DRINKS and the officer said.
Don't bother me. Call up Mike
Morrissey and tell him.
This officer was so drunk he had
to support himself against a parked
car to hold himself up.
They say everybody is supposed
to obey the officers of the law. I
hope she did and gave his badge
number, too.

OFFICERS WIDOW
DEFENDS POLICE
By A Times Reader.

BY Times Reader.
I am the widow of a policeman;
therefore, I resent the attitude of
the public toward officers. Like any
ether organization, there are the
good and the bad, but I do not be-
lieve that the worst of them are so
bad that they should have an
escaped criminal for a leader as was
suggested in g letter in your paper.
Should John DilliEger be pardoned
as the bank clerk cf Mooresville de-
sires, it forever would be a black
spot on the United States in gen.
eral and on Indiana IN particular.
If the clerk from Johns home town
would get job in his own town,
some taxpayer in this city would be
put to work in his place.

WINDOW SMASHING AND

We read about Dillinger every
day, and want to express my opin-
ion regarding some of the citizens
in our midst who are not as hon
orable as he. Under cover of dark
ness they knock out the windows of

The taxpayer is neither a striker
nor a bootlegger, but a respected

evidence that points to the culprit.

By a Striker.
What kind of a position do you
look forward to getting for your let
ter, E. B. S.?
The majority Of knitters must use
our brains to make what the
E. NJ. B. A. calls good wages. We
are worth much more. The way you
talk you couldn't even top stockings
on a machine. I will wager you
have never received a loan by stat
ing the actual use Of the money.

Under English law, if you once
mistreat a dog you never are al

Indiana should be the same. So
many poor dogs are half fed and
lack water most of the time, and
no dog should be allowed to run the
streets to get crippled and suffer
and die If we call on the police
it does no good. We need England's
law for dogs.
