NOT SO TOUGH

Again chick policemen have scored in
the warfare against gangsters by bring
ing down Tommy Carol, master ma
chine-gunner for John Dillinger at Wat
erloo, Iowa yesterday.
Sought for by hundreds of federal,
state and county officials, it remained
for the police of a small town to get the
chief aide to the nations mo. l out
law"
Reports of the capture state that the
officers announcement that Carol was
under arrest, resulted in the outlaw
reaching for gun under his coat. The
officer promptly knocked down the out
law with his fist. When the desperate
scrambled to his feet and ran, the po-
liceman and his brother officers opened
fire inflicting wounds on Carol from
which he died a short time later
There is something to think about in
the fact that the officer used his fist
against an armed man. Also in the fact
that it caused the outlaw to turn tail
and run.
1t is another indication that these out
laws and gunmen are not as tough as
they like to make people think they are.
Perhaps if a few more policemen seek
ing Dillinger and others like him, show
ed little more sand instead of caution,
the mo. l outlaw would be joining his
chief aide "muy pronto.'

FIFTY-SEVEN VARIETIES

IF the theory Of NRA is correct that higher
wages Will increase purchasing power and
speed recovery, NRA should give more than
casual attention to the southern wage diff
ferentials approved in its codes.
These diferentials greatly reduce southern
labor's purchasing power
In a tabulation of the lower southern wage
scale in 400 codes. it is revealed that they
range from nothing to more than 30 per cent
below northern wages.
In the wholesale and retail trades the
practice has been to permit differential of
81 weekly in favor" Of the south, spread Of
to 3 per cent
In household moving and storing, for ex-
ample northern wage of As cents an hour
has been set while southern workmen get IS
cents an hour in the same business more than
20 per cent less. Southern dry cleaners get
20 cents an hour while northern cleaners draw
from 81 to IS cents an hour, a spread ranging
TO more than so per cent.
1t is difficult to find the economic justi-
ication for such wide sectional differentials.
It is even more difficult TO find justification
for ffty-seven varieties of differentials.

FAULTS AND BENEFITS

DEOPLE who enjoy living in a democracy
might as we'll make up their minds to the
fact that democracy's shortcomings have to be
accepted right along with its benefits
During the last few days we have been
getting a f1rst-hand and rather frightening
picture of one Of democracy's worst draw
backs-knock- down and drag-out industrial
warfare.
Naturally, this has caused a great many of
us to demand that some way be found to make
impossible repetition of the kind of thing
that has been happening in San Francisco.
That's a perfectly understandable view
point. But we need to recognize the fact that
this sort of thing. costly and destructive as it
is, is nevertheless one of the things we bar
gain for when we pin our faith to the demo-
cratic processes.
Look abroad for example, and you get an
understanding of this.
Russia has no strikes, for instance. 1t has
no strikes because there is not, strictly speak
ing, ANYONE for the workers to strike against
except themselves. Technically, at least, they
own the country. lock- stock and barrel. They
can't have dispute with the management be-
cause they are the management.
That's one way TO make strikes impossible
to hquidate the employing class.
Italy is another land in which strikes are
unknown. The Italian worker can't strike be-
cause. if he does. he strikes against a govern
ment which will have no hesitation in bring
ing its iron hand down on his neck. He is no
longer a free citizen: he is a cog in a machine,
and in that capacity he takes what is handed
him-and likes it.
Under a democracy, neither of these So
lutionS is possible. There must remain, then,
an amount of freedom within which either
the employer or the worker can, if he feels
justified precipitate industrial war; and there
is no way of making this impossible except by
sliding of in the direction of either Fascism
or COMMUNICATED. of course, means
abandoning democracy.
All of which doesn't make it any easier to
endure or to condone the kind OF thing San
Francisco has had to experience But it does
help US to see the kind of deep water We get
into when We talk about making strikes i'm
possible.
We have democracy and We mean to keep
it-and our strikeless millennium will just
have to wait until the whole industrial field
IS pervaded by the justice, the public spirit
and the sense Of responsibility. which are ulti-
mately. democracy's greatest safeguards.

Explains Postal Employees Status

handicapped substitute condi-
tons.
There has been no expansion OF
the postal service and there has
not been a single substitute APP
pointed as a regular in this or
any other postoff1ce, so far as 1
can ascertain. 1t is true that
the acknowledgement several
weeks ago announced through the
newspapers that a program Of
general improvement featuring a
greatly increased and more fire.
quent service to postal patrons
was forthcoming, and that this
action would advance thousands
of substitutes to regular appoint
ments and employ many addition
al substitutes.
This evidently was only a Far
ley myth, because the trend of
the postoffice department under
Mr.. Farley has been curtailment,
and never expansion Of service to
the users of the mails.
Why Mr.. Farley released such a
story to the press is a mystery 1t
could have been for the purpose
of promoting political ballyhoo
of prosperity for the 1884 Demo-
cratic election campaign.
Be not deceived, Mr.. ana Mrs.
Public, by such press releases and
reports. If and when regular ap-
pointments are made, we will give
proper credit. But do not believe
all that you read especially with
a New York politician as post
master general and an election
coming in the near future.

rests in different parts of the city
and with the use of paid stool
pigeons. It seems the thing not to
do; however, federal prohibition
agents during the last decade were
guilty Of more reprehensible acts
than this constable and received lit
tie criticism. The indianapolis po-
lice department. uses methods which
make this constables mode Of pro-
-cedure look entirely respectable.
All this is unimportent in view OF
the fact that our sons and
daughters are being sold intoxicants
without interference from the
authorities whose sworn duty would
compel them to follow the example
of this loWly constable.
How important it is for the
authorities to recover from their
lethargy, forcibly was brought to
me a short time ago by case tried
in juvenile court.
In response to questions pro-
pounded to her by the judge, r.
year-old girl testified that two 25-
year-old men took her and 16-
year-old girl friend to a beer joint
operated by well known Demo-
cratic politician on the east side,
where beer was purchased for the
girls, who became intoxicated, after
which they we're assaulted criminally
and left at the home Of one Of the
girls.
To this day, nothing has been
done to bring this saloon keeper
into juvenile court despite the fact
that the judge, the prosecutor and
other attaches Of the court heard
and are familiar with the evidence
given by the girls.
1t appears 10 me that the law en-
forcement officers of this country.
who receive regular salaries. would
do well 70 emulate the efforts of
this constable.

"OVERPRODUCTION"

II REPRESENTATIVES Of women's clubs Wis
IN tied families in three West Virginia cities
Charleston Wheeling and Clarksburg-to
get hrst-hand information on milk consump-
ton.
The survey covered 1888 persons including
2,3l7 children.
It revealed an average per capita consump-
ton of less than one-half pint of milk daily
diet to provide the minimum standard
of nutrition recently prepared by the United
States agricultural departments home eco
Monies bureau specifies at least one and one
half pints daily.
Why aren't the men and women and
children in these West Virginia cities drink
ing the amount OF milk essential to their
health? In some cases, it may be lack of
knowledge of how to balance a diet. But the
obvious answer in most cases is: They can't
afford it.
Proof is found in these other statistics
gathered by the womens clubs:
In Charleston. the average family inter-
viewed consisted of ssh persons with an av-
erage income of S26.27 a week. in Wheeling
542 persons with s1791; in Clarksburg. 6.O7
persons with S2559.
These facts are respectfully called TO the
attention OF those who think the milk in
dustry is suffering from "overproduction."
