Value of Tourist Traffic
Fargo FORUM

0ABO XOA AJp
The Greater North Dakota Asso-
citation is urging an awakened public
interest In tourist traffic in and
through the state. It Is sound busi-
ness sense to keep the possible bene-
fits that would accrue from increas-
ing this traffic before our people. A
chief magnet for such traffic, nat
urally, is to keep our roads in the
best possible shape. We must not
overlook the fact that neighboring
states are bending every effort to pull
traffic in their direction. North Da-
kota must keep pace.
Few people perhaps recognize what
tourist traffic means to state from
an economic standpoint. In an in
terview in The Fargo Forum, Mr..
Fred A. Irish. treasurer of the Great
err North Dakota Association, makes
answer. Says he: THE annual rev.
enue from nonresident motorists,
which even in 1884 exceeded 10 mil
lion dollars, is matter Of the gravest
import to the state"
That 10 million dollars for 1894 has
been a sizeable sum to come into
North Dakota. It makes for direct
and indirect benefits. Take 1t out
OF our yearly receipts and it would
make quite q hole. AS Mr.. Irish
points out, too, every time non
resident motorist buys gasoline in the
state. which all of them must, they
are contributing to the upkeep of our
highways.
Tourist traffic in the United States
has been constantly increasing year
by year. This state is fortunately
situated to attract much of this traf-
fic If it will. It not only has historic
sites and beauty spots Of its own to
offer the tourist, but our highways
are direct routes to many Of the
points which tourists like to visit far
Their west.
It Is difficult for the public to
always catch the vision Of what II
means to the state to have this traf-
fic. because the money dribbles in
But the figures which Mr.. Irish gives
should cause q little better apprecia-
ton Of the economic value to North
Dakota. The promotion of it shoulc
be given more prominent place OF
the program of all Of our civic bodies

ing of workers for union member

SPIRIT Is STRONGER

Obviously, though the federation
still shows q decline Of nearly $780,
600 from its 1881 membership, the
labor movement and the militancy Of
workers are much stronger than the
figures indicate.
The textile strike showed that.
Hundreds Of thousands have signed
up for union membership, but don't
show on the official count because
they aren't paying dues.
But critics of the A. +. Of L. cite
the record to bolster their contention
that the A. +. Of L. shows complete
lack Of capacity for organization
work, Is largely in charge of members
whose chief ambition Is to hang onto
their jobs, is operated on oratory
and prefers clutching to the admins
tration's coat-tails to standing on its
own feet.
Union labor organization is q tacit
factor in New Deal policy-at least as
long as employers are encouraged to
organize. But the administration
finds no easy answer to assertions
by industrialists that the A. F. Of l..
represents small minorities and that
workers don't want to organize under
It's banner.
Officials have tried to make this
plain to labor leaders. Can anyone,
they ask, expect to scare the power

time can hardly come In this area
until we get a crop which We can
sell at fair prices.
When that time comes contractors
will have little cause for complaint,
for the need for new structures, COM
mercial as we'll as residence, will have
means of expressing itself and no
competent man will be unemployed.

MEMBERSHIP DROPS

The United Textile Workers. who
had been claiming a paid-up men,
bership Of 100000, prior to the re-
cent strike. turned up with vot-
ing strength Of $500 members, as
against $4,000 last year.
And the Amalgamated Iron, Steel,
and Tin Workers, who were threaten
ing boldly to strike not so long ago,
reported only $500 members as COM
pared with 1900 last year.
Although President John l.. Lewis
Of the United Mine Workers had been
credited hereabouts with a prodigi-
Gus organization campaign. netting
hundreds of thousands Of new men,
bers, he showed up with but 100000,
which was no more than his claim q
year ago and 100000 less than he re-
ported in 1881.
It seems that John, like other labor
leaders, has been excusing lot Of the
boys from paying dues.
Most astonishing Of all, the A. r.

A. F. OF L. sNUBBED

The spirit Of sweet love and affec-
ton commonly supposed to exist be-
tween the administration and the
federation probably will seem even
less visible unless the A. f. Of L.
wakes up. The tendency u to exag-
gerate 1t even now.
You may recall that both Hoover
and Roosevelt cheerfully affronted
the A. F. of LIS dignity by disregard
ing its leadership when they chose
secretaries Of labor. The labor man
it chose for the new National Indus
trial Recovery Board was Hillman,
who built his strong union outside
the A. F. of L. and Is still remote
from Its hierarchy.
Donald Richberg, now top dog in
this administration next to Roose-
welt, won his fame as labor law
yer-with the independent railroad
unions.
When the administration turns to
labor leadership for man power and
counsel, in fact, the A. F. Of L. gets
the crumbs.

Alcoholic beverages have their
proper place In scientific therapeu-
tics. Throughout the years I have
practiced as an advocate Of temper
ance. q personal teetotaler and q vot-
er for prohibition at every oppor-
tunity, I have prescribed alcoholic
liquor and wine and I believe It has
done much good. You laymen wouldn't
understand about this II were to
try to tell you, and anyway I don't
want any lousy beer or wine interest
to quote me In support Of the alcoho-
lie propaganda.
A daily ration Of beer or wine or
liquor is sometimes q most benefic-
ent thing in the home where an
elderly, enfeebled and hence some
what cantankerous person must live
and be lived with.
When DR.. Osler prescribed such q
ration for his elderly mother the good
woman was at first reluctant to start
taking wine. "You know, WILLIE" she
said, Il don't want to get the habit"
But that's just what I recommend
that these elderly crochety folk
should get. the habit and have their
beer, wine or liquor with or follow
ing food two or three times day.
BY elderly I mean over 65 years Of
age. still insist there Is no good
excuse for younger folk INDUCING in
such beverages.

By RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 18.-The many
friends of organized labor In this
administration are groaning rather
dismally while foes don supercilious
grin.
Figures on A. F. of L. membership,
showing an increase in the first full
year under MIRA and its encourage
ment to organize, have arrived with
a dull thud.
They offer little or no help to an
administration which is trying to
educate employers as to the rights
of labor-and having tough time
of 1t.
The A. F. Of L. Executive Council
has reported gain Of 388, 900 dues
paying members over 1888 and q total
membership Of 2.643.000.
Disregarding President Bill Green's
rosy last-year vision Of q member
ship Of 25,000,000, it is the breakdown
Of the figures-which has had little
or no publicity-that Is causing labor
students to despair.
About $4,000 of the increase was
due to the entrance of Sidney HILL
mans Amalgamated Clothing Work
crs into the federation. Another
$4,000 new members were reported
by the international Ladies' Garment
Workers. Other unions showed gains,
few Of them significant, and there
were a number Of actual decreases.

Vicious Circle

That there is need for further ex-
Fermentation in government, par
ticularly for such moves as will instill
business confidence, is apparent to
anyone who surveys the national
scene.
They may be ghosting each other,
but even if this is true, the fact that
many business leaders are jittery is
a handicap to further recovery. If
our business leaders are to be, like
little children, afraid OF COLLINS, the
government should do what it can to
slay the worst of these in order not
to impede progress.
Business leaders, on the other hand,
would do we'll to take stock of them
selves, as they are attempting to do
with government. They might ex-
anime their own consc:ences with
profit to themselves as we'll as the
rest Of us.
This is emphasized by writer in
the current issue Of the Magazine of
Wall Street, which certainly cannot
be considered New Deal institution
Says this gentleman: I'VE will get
nowhere II capital refuses to play ball
unless granted such impossibilities as
an instant return to the gold stand
ard; an instantly balanced budget:
. withdrawal Of government inter-
vention in all forms"
This, by the way, Is exactly what
the more vocal Of capitalism's spokes-
men are saying should be done, even
though there is no proof that they
speak for the business body of Amer
lea as whole.
Turning to the other side Of the
government business controversy, the
writer observes: "At the same time
the New Deal has seemed to forget
or ignore the fact that as long as
capital Is the driving force Of private
initiative. as Mr.. Roosevelt says 1t Is,
then capital must be offered terms it
will accept"
This poses the question Of business
recovery nicely. In this emergency
it Is not so much a question Of who
Is completely right or wholly WRONG,
but Of getting things started SO our
people can return to work and the
government will have q real oppor-
tunity to retire from business. The
backwardness Of business leadership
Is only driving government further
and further into new fields. Failure
Of government to give business suffi-
cient encouragement of the kind it
wants. and its failure to lay business
ghosts. is making business still more
backward. It is vicious circle which
should Be ended as quickly as possible.

INDEPENDENT UNIONS RISE

1mpatience with the A. F. Of L. is
tempered in some quarters with salts
faction that its weakness, rather than
its strength, creates a problem. But
1t Is freely predicted that many new
unions independent of the A. F. of L.
will be heard from In the next year.
There's much sentiment in the ad-
ministration for the industrial rather
than the craft type Of union, which
has tied up too many PWA projects
by jurisdictional disputes.
While the headlines proclaimed an
internal A. F. Of L. row at the San
Francisco convention involving the
Building Trades department, 1t was

The Contractors Complaint

Meeting next week at Chicago,
members Of the Associated General
Contractors Of America will review
what one of their leaders terms 1.-The
appalling waste of the taxpayers
money by governmental agencies" in
building enterprises.
It probably will suggest that all
government work be turned over to
contractors In order that efficiency
may be improved, not to mention
improving the position Of the con-
tractors. which admittedly is bad.
That inefficiency Is the rule is true
almost without exception. But that
1t Is inevitable and not as wasteful
Is might be implied also IS true.
Il the object is merely to build new
structures in the most efficient pos
sible manner there would be no ques-
ton about it. The way to do it is to
employ contractors who are them
selves efficient and who, because they
must. viii employ efficient help to
do the work.
!. But the very object of these prof.
ects Is to furnish work for the un-
employed. His economic condition
rather than his efficiency determines
whether . man shall receive employ
ment. In the very nature of things
some o. these people are what might
be called marginal workmen. moi
fully employed even in good times
The result is rather obvious.
Add to this the conditions laic
down by the government because the
object Of Ill FERA works is primar-
tly to provide employment, and ef-
ficisncy Is still further reduced.
In constructing roads. here in Bur-
leigh county Is well as throughout
the state, hand labor IS preferred to
machine labor. Any contractor could
build twice q much highway for the
money almost any relief road has cost

than need determines employment
