AUTO HORNS DIN
!. GO0D-BY TO SHOW
Dealers Turn Attention to
Business With Prospect
of Big Year.

= Marked by spirit of optimism
toward business prospects for 1886,
Washington automobile dealers last
night drove their show cars out OF
the twin halls where the auto shows
have been going on for a week and
prepared to settle down to a year
they predict will be the most pros
porous of the last five.
The usual din of footing horns
marked the wind-up of the twin
shows last night at the Calvert Ex-
hibition Hall and at the Mayf1oWer,
with the footing more subdued at the
hotel.
Managers of both shows issued op-
timistic statements on coming busi-
ness prospects and announced that
attendance had been up to expec-
tations. Dick Murphy. manager of
the Washington Automotive Trade
Association show at the Calvert Ex-
hibition Hall, said attendance for
the week was in the neighborhood
of 10000, while Floyd AkerS, mana
ger OF the General Motors exhibit
at the MdyI1OWeT, SdlQ even IllolC Sd"
the new General Motors cars for
1886
I'VE have been very we'll pleased
with the attendance at the show, "
Murphy said Despite our limited
facilities, the attendance was good,
and had We had more space we
probably would have had more people
to see the show The dealers report
unusual buying activity with more
cars actually sold and more prospects
than in many years. Altogether we
feel we have had a successful show"
Similar statements came from Akers.
Many of the 1886 automobiles al
ready are on the streets of the Capital
and more will be on the streets within
a few weeks. as the result of the twin
shows according to statesmen at the

GOOD AS FAR AS 1T GOES

The new NRA-which is but a
skeleton Of the old, has called public
hearings on the labor provisions Of
voluntary agreements, intended to
apply to wholesale tobacco, speciality
paper products, and candle industries.
The minimum wage is fixed at $14 per
week in small cities and up to SIG a
week in the North. In the South,
minimum wages are a dollar lower.
Very good, as far as it goes; but
the distance travelled is not great.
The minimum wages are too low,
though doubtless higher than are be-
ing paid in those industries now. The
differential between North and South
has never been explained to the salts
faction of labor; and the hours-40

A. f. of L. Defeats
Plan For Labor Party

By A. F. of L. News Service.
The plan urged by number of reso-
lutions that the American Federation
of Labor should take the leadership
in organizing an independent labor
party was defeated by the delegates to
the 1885 convention of the federation.
The vote, taken the closing day of
the convention, re-affirmed the feder-
atoms support of the traditional nom
partisan political policy under which
the friends of labor regardless of
party affiliation are supported and
the enemies of labor opposed.

Norton, Va. (ILNS) Coal miners

ents in our day would do well to turn
their ambitious offspring toward the
ways of Hopson rather than urge
them to follow the footsteps of
Schultz. Schultz had a more varied
and exciting life; but it was also
much shorter. Looking to the long
pull, parents should tell their sons
that holding companies last longer
than bootlegging and bring larger
dividends.

little hope of unemployment.
1t is good that these hearings are
being held. But there will never be

to regulate commerce, without regard
to state lines, and without being re-
quired to overcome the objections of
reactionary courts.

UNION WAGE is PREVAILING
WAGE

After thorough hearings on the
question of wages for the work involed
in making certain changes in the air
conditioning equipment for the audi
torium and cafeteria of the interstate
commerce commission and labor de-
partment buildings in the District of
Columbia, the United States Depart
ment of Labor has decided that the
union wage rates in the District for
the types of work required are the
prevailing wage rates.
Representatives of the District of
Columbia Building Trades Council and
the Associated General Contractors
attended the hearings. The labor de-
partment's order established the
wage rates for sheet metal workers,
pipe coverers, plumbers, steam filters,
electricians, fathers, plasterers, car
penters, painters. laborers and help
ers.
The hearings revealed, according
to the labor department report, that
every craft specified in the order of
reference is represented by union
local and that nearly every such local
has a written collective agreement
with an association of contractors ir
this vicinity engaged in its respective
branch association of contractors ir
branch of the construction industry
Moreover, it was shown that the rates
fixed by such agreements had actually
been carried into effect on air condi.
tioning contracts in this locality with
in the past few months and that
these contracts represented the bulk
Of work of this nature.
From this evidence the conclusion
is ineseapable that the union rates
are in fact the rates which prevail loc-
ally on contracts Of this character.
The action of the labor department
was taken in compliance with the
amended Bacon Davis prevailing wage
rate law, passed by the last session
Of congress, which included the pro-
vision that advertisements for bids
for government construction work
must contain the rates of wages to be
paid by contractors and sub-contract-
tors. The act is applied for the first
time in connection with the interstate
commerce and labor department air
conditioning projects.
The decision is interpreted as a
definite step toward eliminating the
''kickback racket" on federal public
works, through which, according to
the findings of congressional investi-
cations, unscrupulous contractors, by
setting their own wage rates and then
forcing employees to kick back part of
them on various pretenses as the price
for holding the job, robbed labor Of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.

TWO PRESENT DAY
SUCCESS STORIES"

Two recent instances show that
America still offers great opportun-
tiles for advancement to ambitious
men who want money, and lots of it,
without being at all particular about
other things
One of these is the case of Arthur
Flegenheimer, better known as Dutch
Schultz, gang boss Of racketeers in
the New York district, who died Of lead
poisoning short time ago. The
other is H. c. Hopson, still living
gang boss Of the A. G. E., whose oper-
ations ranged over wider field than
Dutch Schultz ever even imagined.
Both were bright and keen-espe-
cially keen-young men. Both were
born bokkeepers, who knew how to
make records conceal facts; though
in this matter, Dutch Schultz was
self-taught while Hopson had mar
vellous course Of training. Both seem
to have been born with an Unsuitable
appetite for com, cash, kale, dough,
long green, mazuma, spondulics, de-
mario, Or other synonyms Of the under
world for money.
Both had angle-iron, sunk hinge,
time-Iock, blow-torch proof con-
sciences. If either of them had about
him any such thing as scruple, it
must have been concealed with watch
full care; for the newspaper men who
paid such vast attention to them never
came across anything Of the sort. 1t
would have been news, startling and
surprising news, and the press boys
would have plastered it on every front
page-if they had found it.
Both went after the money; but in
different ways. Schultz pusued his
researches with bungstarter and a
gat; bunch Of quick shooting tor
pedoes" at his back, and corps of
bondsmen to ransom his lieutenants
from jail. Hopson went after his coin
with high pressure statesmen, ped
ding to the public at $50 share stocks
which duly dropped to Is cents a
share; and siphoned the profits
through holding companies to his own
pockets. When Schultz disapproved a
law, he ignored it, except to speak
Of "razzberries. When Hopson dis
approved law, he called it "uncon-
stitutional,' and charged the consum-
ers of his electricity for the cost of
saying it by telegraph. Both collected
millions; though Hopson kept more Of
his than did Schultz.
1t is clear that here are two shin
ing examples of the Success stories
which boys used to be urged to read.
On the whole, though, aspiring par

NO EXCUSE FOR POVERTY

Poverty is an economic disease for
which there is no excuse in modern
society. It's causes, inadequate en-
ployment and low wages, can be over
come if our economic machine is kept
in balance. Gradually increasing pro-
duction, balanced by corresponding
rise in workers buying power, can put
the unemployed to work and create
the wealth to raise wages. But once
the balance between producing and
consuming power is upset, we cannot
expect sustained progress Monthly

we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes nippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

It less than 200 barons had owned
the bulk of the productive land Of
France in the year 1889, no one would
have the slightest difficulty in ex-
planning the French Revolution. Even
a corporation lawyer could understand
Though he wouldn't admit it after
getting on the federal bench But
anyone would take it for granted that
such disparity of wealth and in
come-for wealth and income were
tied tight to the land in those days
would be sure to cause unrest and
upheaval in as energetic a people as
the French
But Berle and Means, two of the
wisest and most cautious economists
Of the present day reported that less
than 200 corporations owned and con-
trolled the bulk of the productive
wealth of the United States of Amer
lea in 1927. The proportion unques-
tionably has become higher since. And
still we have no revolution!
One explanation often given of this
amazing state Of affairs is that the
corporations have behaved so well and
managed the affairs of the nation so
much better than we could manage

turally want the corporations to keep
right on running things.
That explanation went out of date
on October 26, 1923, when the stock
market crashed and tens of billions
of property values were swept away
IN day And it has been getting
'out of date as Artemus Ward
would have said, every day and hour
since. The corporations paid dividends
out Of surpluses while millions of
workers went to the breadlines. They
saw 15,000,000 workers out of jobs
without making even a decent gesture
Of finding employment
They have forced the American peo-
pie to realize that, if you credit these
great corporations with good inten-
tions, then, in all matters of public
welfare, an overwhelming majority Of
the magnates of these corporations
are doddering fools.

But there is nothing to show good
intentions among the bulk Of the cor
poration barons of America. The
New Haven railroad is one Of those
barons; and it is going into bankrupt
cy after nearly 80 years of almost un-
relieved rascality. The Milwaukee
road barons played poker game with
a great property that made the New
Haven like a hand Of penny ante. The
utility barons have boasted that they
fool the public and collect the ex-
penses of that fooling from consume
ers.
The tobacco barons and textile bar
ons compete with each other in goug-
ing wages to the lowest conceivable;
the packing barons have levied toll
on the agricultural northwest for
forty years; and the charge is not
