were paid. Suddenly along comes
this damned depression and people
have no money to buy shoes-expen-
sive shoes. Out in the middle west
they manufacture cheap grade OF
shoe for poor people. Here in Brock
ton we've been accustomed to manu-
featuring a good, high priced shoe.
"Why, when the code came along
it didn't affect us manufacturers here
at all. We've been paying above the
code minimum-if they worked q full
week. OF course if they don't work
full week, we can't pay it. CNote: the
shoe industry, even when it worked
on a 48-hour basis, because Of the
slack period due to the seasonal ma
ture of the employment, never even
in good times average a 40-hour week
so the workers never earned full
weeks pay over a steady period OF
tine-J. L. 81
"But the code did effect the manu-
facyuTer of cheap shoes. Why, a mid
western manufacturer told me it
would raise his payroll so per cent
if the minimum wage went into
effect.
There's no demand for the high
grade shoe that we've been &C
customed to making, and both manu-
facturer and worker have been forced
to try to adapt themselves to making
a cheaper grade shoe which means
adapting yourself to smaller material
and labor costs. I'm in favor of that
because then shoes don't last as long
It means greater turnover of shoes.
This effort to adapt the industry
here in Brockton to wages In proper
ton to the price shoe we're trying to
turn out has left us in a daSe. And
when the shoe industry Is in daze
here. the whole town is In a daze.
And I suppose that with variations
the same thing applies to other in
dustries in other towns.

da5e all right

kind. No, some way will have to be
found to feed them-either through
taxation or voluntary contributions.
I guess we'll have to arrange things
SO that the fellow who gets anything
will have to give 1t up. Maybe big
taxation"
"What would be your attitude If
the government, to meet its bills and
feed the citizens who can't get work,
put fifty per cent tax on all you
haye?"
'I wouldn't like It," he said simply.
His whole air was that of one who
would not be surprised if such move
was made.
what would you say to the gov
eminent taking over the whole shoe
industry"
THAT would be an awful calamity"
he said quickly. ri am opposed to
government ownership. That would
be Sovietizing things. OF course the
government is making rules for the
industry but there is big difference
between making rules and taking
things over.
Business now Is getting together
and laying their own rules. The day
of cut-throat competition is past.
Eventually, Of course, things seem to
be tending towards standardization in
the shoe industry-the minimum we
have to pay in wages, what we can
sell for, and so on. 1t seems to be a
trend toward an eventual dictator
ship over the whole industry.
'Little business men who cannot
stand the pace will drop out, like
little storekeepers drop out In compe-
tition with the chain stores. Yes,
we're heading towards centralized
control over the shoe industry-per-
haps over all industries. / think it's
a good thing. Maybe it's our only
solution. But I am opposed to gov
crnment ownership It will stifle
initiative"

it was Coue all over again.
But suppose things didn't get bet
ter even If you cheer the college pro-
fessors?"
Again the long pause, a thoughtful
wrinkling of the brow and a dazed:
Damned If know. Well sure be
in hell Of mess, won't be?"
You're leader in industry in this
town." persisted. Men like you are
running this city, state and nation.
Surely you must figure on what will
happen if all the cheering don't help"
He shook his head regretfully.
II hate to think of what will hap
pen If things don't pick up. The
MIRA. hasn't helped any here, either
the manufacturers or the workers.
The C.WA. is keeping some busy.
The director told me only yesterday
that they have payroll OF $4,000 a
week. That can't keep up. The gov
eminent can't keep pouring money in
indefinitely and when that gives
out"
He shrugged his shoulders again.
Il don't know" he resumed. Brock
ton had a $4,000 allowance for the
C.WA. That's pretty near gone.
We've asked for 100000. Wen prob
ably get that but after that's gone"
He made a gesture Of flnality.
1--WE Are All Hopeful"
I'VE can be hopeful. We are all
hopeful. You see, all we need Is to
get money in circulation again. But
one thing I do know, people will not
starve to death. I don't believe they
will. No, sir. don't see any sense in
people starving to death in this coun-
try"
What way is there to eat If there's
no money and no work? Get rifles
like those Kansas farmers, march into
town and announce they want food
and intend to get it?"
NO, no rifles. These Lithuanians
and Swedes and Italians and Polaks

cidental, property-damaging sort.
Almost always they're carefully
staged for scenes in which nat
ural drama is necessary.
The reason for the low fire loss
is revealed by Chief G. H. Laun-
ders of the Paramount fire de-
partment.
"The studios cannot afford to
have fires" he says. Every mod
ern fire prevention method has
been installed and we don't take
any chances. ~

placed at strategic points about
the lot and a similar number OF
fire hydrants at selected places
where there is any sort of fire
hazard. -.
an addition, the studio has Its
own fire truck equipped with
ladders, the most up to date
chemical apparatus, gas masks
and oxygen life saving equipment
There are four trained fire
men on duty at the engine house
at all times and an additional
seven work in shops nearby SO
that the engine can be manned
at a moments notice"
Telegraph and sprinkler sys'
tens are installed in all perma'
nent buildings and if a fire starts
the alarm is automatically regis
tered in Los Angeles and Holly
wood vre stations, the chief said
eve can reach any point CT
the lot in a minute and a hall
with the truck; and control tht
fire until the arrival of outside
aid from municipal fire crews,

The chief, himself a veteran

| Angeles fire department after q
wears of service, with the rank o.

Officials of the United States

airplane designers assembled to
watch Kenneth Ebel and L. C. Nc
Cardy send the giant skimming
across the water and into the

The big silver ship, powered by
four motors, was slid into Nor
man creek from a raft at the
Glenn L. Martin company's
plant. Two motor boats hooked
tow lines on to the flying boat
to take her out into Chesapeake
Bay.
A hard northwest wind was
chopping the water and for time
it seemed that all three of the
craft would be swamped. Other
boats put out and maneuvered the
big ship into a position where she
could taxi under her own power.
1t was three hours before the
weather Gained enough to allow a
start.
Ebel and McCardy started the
motors and the plane sped down
the water runway at so miles an
hour. She stayed close to the sur
face for more than a mile, and
then the pilots lifted her. +,
The flying clipper No. Z, stayed
