ten automobiles and this picture shows at least

Capital-Labor Issue Strains Party Lines

putes Act" Is the Administra-
tons New Deal for labor.
Senator agner calls his
measure: "A bill to equalize the
bargaining power of employers
and employees, to encourage the
amicable settlement Of disputes
between employers and en-
ployeS and to create a national
labor board" my bill" says
Senator Wagner, "forbids any
employer to foster, or partici-
pate in, or influence any or
ganization which deals with
problems that should be covered
by a genuine labor union"
The language of the Senator
is perfectly clear. He means
that there will be no more COM
pany unions, and that trade
unions, such as we know them
with special officers and dele
gates, shall be recognized wher-
ever any group Of workers shall
organize them. The steel in
dustry and the automobile in
dustry are bitterly and defiantly
against this legislation. "Your
bill," they say to the Senator,
means a universal closed shop.
It destroys the rights and the
initiative of the individual. 1t
diSrupts the industrial welfare
Of the nation and destroys the
friendly relationships between
employer and employe."
South's Problem
Thus the lines are drawn.
Hearings on the bill are under
way in Washington. If it gets
before Congress in its present
form, the country may look for
a controversy such as we have
not had for many years and
before which, such political
issues as the gold standard,
tariffs, and the NRA will pale
into insignificance.
It is difficult to see how
party ranks can stand the
strain on the clean cut issue of
the open shop against COM
pulSory unionizationS.
For instance, what about thS

lima, and Tennessee on the roll

It is true, as Senator Wagner
points out, that many, if not
most company unions, are
mockerieS. But it Is true also,
as his opponents assert, that
labor unions have not been free
from graft and racketeer1ng.

thousands of dollars are being
expended on "flivver" landing

will contribute little, if anything,

air transport or the speeding up

Did any American air-trans.
port operator INSPIRE" the aero
nautics branch to promote the
so-called "flivver" planes and
the tooling at Federal expense
of a factory to manufacture
these "flivver" planes?
With what air-transport COM
panies have the ranking Off
cials of the aeronautics branch
been associated in the past,
what experience in aviation did
they possess that was compar-
able with the experience of the
expert officials whom they re-
placed?
Fantastic Schemes
Why has the expert personnel
of the aeronautics branch been
reduced, under the pretense of
economy, when this branch has
been scattering all over the
country thousands upon thou
sands of dollars from the funds
of the Public Works Administra-
ton and the Civil Works Ad-
miniStration on pork-b arrel
projects and fantastic schemes
not specifically authorized by
Congress?
What relation, if any, has the
aeronauticS branch maintained
with the Senate investigation of
foreign and domestic air-mail
contracts?
What experience in aero,
nautics did Postmaster General
Farley'S assistants have before
they were assigned to the i'm
portant task Of supervising the
operation of the Federal air
mail?
After Postmaster General Far
ley and Secretary Roper have
replied to these and similar
questions by a congressional
committee, it will then be in
order for that committee to
summon the members of the
Airline Pilots Association. These
pilots should be able to tell
what officials of the Federal
Government and other politi
clans have been travelling up
and down the Federal air ways
on free passes since Postmaster
General Farley and Secretary
Roper took up flying.

An Economic Life-Saver
The Mcleod Bill

Enactment of the Mcleod bank pay off bill is justified
purely as recovery aside from the fact that the
Government should carry out its implied obligation to the
millions citizens who induced to keep their money
in banks which the had to believe
unsound.
There better way of circulating money than to pay
off these depostors in lump.
More than thousand millions of dollars would be sent into
the channels of within few days after enactment
of the Mcleod measure
MORE THAN TEN MILLION MEN AND WOMEN WHO

In going the assistance of these people through the
provisions of the Mcleod bill the Government would not be

The signs accumulate that
this year of grace will go down
in history as the first Of the
post-depression era. From all
sections. and especially from the
South and West, come reports
of increases in trade which al
most stump the analysts.
Whereas, a year ago, shelves
were loaded and prices were
ridiculous, retail trade today is
so brisk that shortages exist in
certain lines, and prices have so
increased that our merchants
are a bit concerned about their
getting too far ahead of the
consumer.
This Easter parade was no bar
gain-counter affair. The bon
nets, the topcoatS and the
spring tweeds with their NRA
stamps, were worn with the ad-
ditional pride which must come
from the knowledge that they
represent the prices Of nor
malcy with encouraging profits
to the merchants and adequate
wages for the workers who made
them.
Labor Unrest
One cloud mars our blue skies
the black one of widespread
labor unrest. And yet. to my
mind, even the labor uncertainty
is not altogether a bad sign.
Old Deal or New Deal, human
nature remains the same and
history swings around in the
same old orbit. Just as the
robin has been the harbinger
Of spring down through the
ages, so has a major Capital
Labor issue been the sign that
better times have arrived. We
have that issue today and it
transcends by far such fleeting
questions as to who shall carry
the air mail, or who shall build
the st. Lawrence Waterway.
However, there is no use dis
counting the seriousness of the
situation arising from the at
tempts to unionize the automo-
bile and steel industries, a stu
alton accentuated by the bill
of Senator Wagner Of New
York, which would outlaw the
company union and most likely
to spell death to the principle
Of the open shop.
The Senator from New York
has long been a champion OF
the working classes. He Is very
close to the President and un-
less there is some direct state
ment to the contrary, the leg
islation which he proposes Is,
and will be, recognized as that
which President Roosevelt spon-
sors. Therefore, Washington

Congress can hardly fail to
ignore the allegations made by
the Airline Pilots Association
concerning the terms of the tenn
porary contracts for carrying
the Federal air mail, which have
just been announced by Post
master General Farley.
Congress should not overlook
the fact that these proposed con-
tracts have been drafted in the
Post Office Department after
consultation with the Depart
ment of Commerce.
This means that Postmaster
General Farley and Secretary
Roper share the responsibility
for the form of these contracts
and, under the law, can be held
to a strict accountability for the
fairness of their terms.
The Airline Pilots Association
includes in it's membership most
of the airline pilots who flew the
mails until all domestic air-mail
contracts were cancelled last
February and this service turned
over temporarily to the Army
Air Corps.
Pilots Charges
The charges that the Farley
Roper form of temporary con-
tracts are unfair and discrimi-
natory are a challenge to the
Congress to make a fearless,
honest, and nonpartisan investi-
cation of all branches of the
Post Office Department involved
in the administration of the
Federal air-mail act and of the
aeronautics branch of the De-
partment of Commerce, to which
the Secretary of Commerce dele
gates his authority and respon-
Sibility under the law to regulate
and develop commercial avia-
ton.
To sift the charges made by
the Airline Pilots Association,
Congress should first investigate
Secretary Roper's so-called "re-
organizations" of the aeronau-
tics branch. These "reorganiza-
tions" began last June. They
have transformed the aeronau-
tics branch from a highly eff
cient, expert and nonpolitical
Federal agency into a far less
efficient and highly political
agency.
BY calling as witnesses Post
master General Farley and Sec
retary Roper, a congressional
committee should be able to
find the answers to some of the
following questions:
Who were the Senators and
Representatives in Congress, the
air-transport operators, the con-
tributors to the campaign fund
of the party in power or other
persons who dictated the politi-
cal appointments of Secretary
Roper in the aeronautics branch
and the political appointments

LISTEN WORLD
By Elsie Robinson

Be rid of winter
Wake again with spring
Must first be willing,
And then-pay the price!
And so, ! pray,
My father,
Make me dare to live!
And help me pay
Whatever life may cost!
For you know, Father,
How I want to live!
How much I long
To be a part of spring,
To share it's beauty
And it's brave new growth.
You know how much
I long to hope again,
To dream and wonder,
Fight and love and weep,
And feel life
Rushing through me
With its wild, sweet sap,
But something in me
Yet lies still and cold!
I still lie buried
In old memories
Old losses, old regrets,
Old hate and fear
That bind me close
AS any rocky tomb;
And in this Self-made tomb
I now lie trapped
While Easter blossoms,
My own soul seems dead!
Then help me, Father!
Help me want to rise
From out the narrow tomb
OF Yesterday.
Hurt and harass me,
Till once more I wake
And hear,
Through dulling walls,
The hot, glad challenge
OF Today!
Then give me strength
To free myself and fight,
Break through my walls
And take my place with Spring!
Amen.

Even the EngliShman puts a
good deal of thought on self
adornment. A flower in his but
tonhole is almost as necessary to
his life as marmalade with his
tea.
An Englishman treats himself
to pink hunting coats and bright
blazers when you go
punting along the Thames, those
vivid spots of color everywhere
are more often the red and or
ange blazers of the men than
the flowers on the hats of the
women.
It's all in the way a man
THINKS of himself! The Boule-
vardier probably thinks of him
self as God's-gift-to-women. The
Englishman thinks of himself as
a part of the scenery. But the
American thinks of himself as a
money-making machine.
And when men begin to think
of themselves as money-making
machines-as useful, rather than
ornamental-they seem to lose
all their vanity about their per-
sonal appearance.
That is probably why the
American man has relegated all
his sartorial beautifying to his
wife-just as he has kept his re-
igion and his social interests in
her name.
