Illegal Machine Guns

There is federal law forbidding un- authorized possession of machine guns and sub-machine guns. The penalty for pos session may be fine of $2,000 or five years in prison, or both. There is now an active effort to enforce this law. Manu- lecturers of guns are cooperating With the government in the matter.
 In spite of progress, however, criminals of the type of Dillinger and his gang have such weapons and use them recklessly It is said that some 15,000 Thompson sub- machine guns were manufactured after the war and, before the danger was real ized, 5000 or 5000 of them got into active circulation. Many of these are still owned by criminals. Government officials are after them now, but it will be difficult task to round them all up.
 Meanwhile, if the existing law is wig orously enforced, no further weapons of this sort should get into the hands of pub- lie enemies. The law imposes tax on the manufacture and sale of these guns and another tax on transfer. It also re- quires registration and fingerprinting of all purchasers, provisions which make it possible to check the output and to know where it goes. It is generally agreed that much of the increase in crime in general and particularly in gang robberies and murders has come through the wide dis tribution of guns. Attacking that prob lem directly is striking directly at gang sterism.

Superstitious Kids

Two educators in Teachers College, New York, have been checking up on su- perstitions in this country, with rather depressing results. They report three findings which are not surprising: that women are more superstitious than men, that country people are more supersti- tious than city people, and that hardly any one is entirely free from superstition. But the most interesting facts revealed in their latest report have to do with boys and girls of junior high school age.
 Nearly two-thirds of these pupils, they find, believe that an ostrich when threat ened with danger, hides its head in the sand. More than one-third believe it's bad luck to be followed by black cat, that sons of ministers are especially liable to 10 wrong, and that warts come from touching toad or frog. Many believe, tod. that the good die young and that get fing out of the wrong side of the bed makes person irritable for the day. In short, tbe investigators conclude, the kids sre ss supsrstitIous as their parents. We luppoasd they had better sense tn this scientific age.

Washington, Dec 7.-Behind the A. +. of l.. is being waged d brawiing cat-and-dog fight. Un- less settled without delay, it may gravely impair the presidents far-reac ching plans. for a revival of the heavy goods industry.
 The fierce fracas ,reyOlvcs about the issue of who shall rule the FederatiOn's powerful Build ing Trades Department.
 A number of years ago the carpenters, bricklayers and cleo tricians, staged a. bitter jurisdic- tional quarrel with other con- struction unions and :, seeded l from the federation. Last spring, on united front. plea of President Bill Green, they agreed to return to the A. F. of L. fold.
 They sent in their per capita dues and peace appeared assured. Then, suddenly, word spread that ,, the three unions, backed by the teamsters and hod carriers, were. secretly planning to capture con- trol of the Building Trades De- partment and throw out incum- bent, office holders.
 Mike McDonough,s veteran president Of the department, re- fused to accept the proffered dues and the fight started again with renewed fury. NO COMPROMISE "'
 Attempts at the recent San Francisco convention to settle the controversy proved unayail-, ing. Green, maneuvefing des- perately to bring about peace, stalled off an open break by an- nouncing that q special building trades convention would be- called later in Washington.
 This assembly was supposed to. meet last week, but it failed to materialize. -@
 MeDonoush and the dozen unions affiliated with his depart ment refused to participate. Fur therinorc, they have notified Green that if the bolters are taken back they will secede.
 Both sides are threatening re- prisals. The bolters have an- nounced their intention of raid ing A. F. of l.. unions by seek ing members from their ranks. A. r. of L.. organizations have re- piled that in such event they will tie up every construction job in the country with juris- dictional strikes.
 The administration, on the verge of initiating a vast gov ernimcnt- financed building pro- gram, is watching the feud with much uneasincss. is41 's @i
 If the feud is not settled, the Labor Board probably will step in-and. not for. the benefit of Labor.

Covernment-Business Questionnaire

One fault with many of the question: naires on public affairs is that they are so worded as to give the ansWerer little choice, and, therefore, decide nothing. Some questions of this kind are found in an otherwise admirable survey conducted by the national Industrial Conference Board among American newspapers and farm journals. When editors are asked, "Does public opinion in your community favor further increase in the national debt?" there is naturally an overwhelm- ing "No"
 It is the same with such questions as favoring "control of the management ot private business enterprises by govern ment bureaus or officials" and federal government going into business in compe- tition with transportation companies" and similar public competition with "other industry" in general. When anyone asks whether a community believes "that the hope of profits is essential to the pro- gress of business enterprise" the answer is self-evident. In such theoretical ques- tons the practical issues involved may be ignored, and, therefore, the answers may not mean much.
 Real illumination, however, comes from the replies to various questions more frankly and concretely presented. Thus we find majority of communities en- dorsing government control of workmen's hours and wages, and compulsory old age pensions, and the outlawing of sym pathetic strikes and lockouts. Some of the minority votes, too, on questions requlr- ing real thought applied to existing situa- tions, are significant. Thus "a compul- sorry government system of unemployment insurance gets 39.5 per cent of affirma' tive votes to 58.2 per cent negative. Gov ernment enforcement of definite standards of business management by law gets more than one vote out of four.
 Government competition for power conl- panies gets more than one vote in three. Federal monopoly of the banking business fares equally we'll So does federal regu- lation of profits in industries other than public utilities (where profits are already pretty we'll regulated). The country is obviously growing more liberal - or If you prefer, more radical.
