IT'S ALL THERE is

r ABOR the country over should look at it's
IL hole card as it contemplates the Works
Progress Administration strike" in New York
City and the possibility that the strike may
spread elsewhere.
There union leaders have called the skilled
trades workers off PWA jobs. They complain
that the se3 so a month pay scale on WPA
jobs is under the union scale and will break
down the rates that private contractors are
expected to pay for skilled labor. unfortu-
nately, the union scale" in recent years has
been more fictitious than real and the 500 so
a month offered by WPA is a better steady
wage than many of them have had in a long
while. But that's different story.
What labor as a whole in the country
should be thinking about is where the strike
tactics will lead.
President Roosevelt wrung the four billion
dollar works fund from a reluctant Congress.
While that sum seems pitifully small when the
attempt is made to translate it into $4,000
all-year jobs for heads of families on relief
rolls. it is not likely that the President can
again get sum as large.
And whether the four billions is a large
sum, as protesting taxpayers think 1t is or
small sum- as the needs of the unemployed
prove it to be, nevertheless it is all there is
There amt no more"
The $3.50 jobs for skilled workers in New
York and the $40 month jobs for unskilled
workers in the South all come out of the same
pot If the highest-paid get more, the lowest
paid will have to take less.
And when those who are proffered the
highest scale refuse to work, don't they there
by discredit the whole work-relief program in
the minds of millions of tax-touchy Ameri-
cans who are all too anxious for an excuse to
junk the whole idea of government work re-
lief?
If that occurs, leaving a still more glutted
labor market, what then will happen to union
scales" and prevailing wages?

WORLD HOODLUMISM

A BOUT 1900 sons of German parents from
so foreign countries, including the United
States, have been gathered in Nuremberg as
guests of the Hitler Youth Organization to
listen to inspirational talks on anti-Semitism
and other peculiar ideas of Naziism.
Herr Julius Streicher, the Nazi high priest
of anti-Semitism, instructed the visiting youth
in the official philosophy of race hate while
others were more precise as to the technique
One magazine, the Black Corps, official organ
of the Black Guards, was careful to instruct
them that under German law, if Jew who is
pursued defends himself he acts illegally. He
should be tied and fettered "only in extreme
cases"
There have been many protests against
RuSsia's alleged plans to propaganda the
world in behalf of Communism and against
purported attempts by italy to inculcate the
world with Fascism. In the memory of
civilization this seems to be the first attempt
by nation to spread hoodlumism through
out the world.

SENSE

TN ironical mood, Thomas jefferson once
u wrote:
ut appears to be the province of a judge
to constantly extend his jurisdiction"
Now comes Judge John D. Martin of the
United States District Court of Western Ten
neSsee urging that it is about time to reverse
this process. In his oral opinion delivered
from the bench in the AAA case where he
upheld processing tax collections. Judge Mar
tin offered this sage advice to fellow judges
on all FEDERAL District benches:
AT the outset it should be announced
that this court holds the firm conviction that
a District Court of the United States should
not suspend the operation of an Act of Con-
gress as unconstitutional except upon the
plainest grounds and surest conviction.
1T is the Judgment of this court that, be-
fore pronouncing an Act of Congress uncon-
Stitutional and uncomfortable, a District
Court should be even more carefully deliber-
ate and firmly convinced beyond a reason
able doubt of its unconstitutionality than
would be necessary on the part of a Circuit
Court of Appeals or of the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
"a District Court is a one-man court.
There are numerous District Courts. and
the result of conflicting views Of individual
district judges as to the unconstitutionality Of
Acts of Congress leads to a frequently confus-
ing status in the enforceability of national
laws.
Wherefore, District Courts should be mos
reluctant to pronounce Acts Of Congress void.
The soundest public policy is conserved when
District Courts do not interfere with the oper-
alton of Acts of Congress"

NNE after another in the last few years have

So and while a trife hard to read in spots is
one Of those books that deserves a spot in your

Mr.. Richards is a student of Roman history
and his work on Cicero, who head and

Who can forget that part in history where
the noble Cicero denounced the traitor Catlline
the Cicero who could sway the Roman Senate
almost at will? 1t is the Cicero of high ideals
whom Mr.. Richards has brought back to life. to
stalk through the pages of this book as the true
Father Of the Country
THE author sees Cicero as the man who

And it actually was his tongue that led to

Mr.. Richards diScloses how Cicero wavered
slightly in politics. but how constantly he chung
to the central plank of his philosophy, the re-
public. Cicero, last of the republicans was sent
to his death because he insisted on democracy
ruled by the people and not by a dictator
Cicero is painted in this book as the modest
Roman of them all" for Mr.. Richards writes
that without Cicero the Latin language could
not have permanently lived"
Cicero" is not just another book about the
Roman empire. 1t is masterpiece of study and
thought.

LONG PULL OF OPTIMISM

british unemployment, says the conserv-
- alive Federation of British Industries,
should be solved. in major part, within less
than 10 years
This statement regarded as Sensationally
optimistic followed publication of govern
ment figures showing that for the first time
since 1890 unemployment figures have fallen
to less than 100000.
Remember that Britain had an unemploy-
ment situation. and a bad one, for several
years before We did. The British fight against
it has been slow. but unremitting. Now they
are thinking in terms Of 10 years. but still de-
termined. still hopeful.
This shows the bitterness Of the struggle
against the Fifth Horseman, who rides so
relentlessly these days. 1t shows that the
fight may be long. but that determination and
sustained effort can and will win it.

YES, IT'S ODD How
SOME MONEY is SPENT

By r.. II. Stone
The newest form of excitement
is straw. Last winter two lazy fell
lows in a town north of the city
had bet on the election There
was proviso in the wager that the
bet was off if Congress did not meet.
So, they had to wait until January
before settling accounts.
In the meantime the Supreme
Court ruled out gold. The fellow
who lost had mostly straw so he
went on the straw basis and paid
his wager in straw. That seemed
to give folk the idea that straw was
the basis of trade For. here lately
in the same town somebody has
stored straw in a ramshackle old
building which is dry as finder and
sits right on the side of the rail-
road.
Some seem to think that it might

use of the National Guard in the
recent Terre Haute strike. There
appeared in this letter the mis-

the Columbian Enameling and
Stamping plant I was placed inside
the plant and I had a chance to
view the damage done by strikers.
Every window that could be reached
by rocks was broken. All telephone
communication and power lines were
cut. Much of the Office furniture

ASSERTS RELIEF WORKERS
NOT IN JAIL MOB

BY G. r. Lyle, Frankfort
am asking you in all fairness to
the people of my county to rectify
a mistake of the Indianapolis news
papers. The mistake was made in
regard to the case of Frank Mace,
who was held in the Marion County
Jail.
The papers stated that trouble
has been fomenting for the last
month among the people on relief.
This is not true. We have had no
more trouble here than they have
had in any relief office. Namely,
the ironing out of any difficulties
that might have arisen through the
cooperation of the relief labor
committee and the supervisor of
this county. Through this commit
tee and the supervisor an amicable
understanding is always possible.
AS to the persons responsible for
the mob demonStI alton at the police
court and at the Clinton County Jail,
I must say that there was no one
person, so far as could see or re-
member, on the relief rolls.
1t just happened that was work.
ing very late that night at the re-
lief office on w. Westinghouse in
Frankfort. The building being
rather warm, I decided on a little
fresh air, and was attracted to the
police station by crowd which was
starting to form. I circulated through
the crowd, picking up bits of con-
versation here and there, but heard
no outright remarks of intended
violence.
The persons that I talked with
or saw in this crowd were not per-
sons on relief, but the usual bunch
of young fellows who were spend
ing a last 10 or IS minutes down.
town before going home to a hot,
uncomfortable room. 1t was close
to midnight and persons on the re-
lief rolls probably were already in
bed, as there were positively none
in this mob that I know and my
job has acquainted me with most of
them.
These people don't enjoy being
called trouble-makers and being &C
cused of mob violence when there is
not and has not been cause for such
demonstration. So, in all fairness to
the relief clients of Clinton County
and as an eye witness to all that
transpired, I ask that this mistake
be iectified.

By a Reader
We hear a lot of discussion
about relief and the Roosevelt
plans, so now let's look into a
few causes for local complaints.
The trustee pays investigators
$25 to $35 weekly to tell people
how to live on 81 to So a week.
Some. of these have husbands with
good jobs Or are single and know
nothing about rearing a family.
Why don't they let some of these
women on relief have these jobs?
Why is it they have to bring wom-
en- from out of the city and give
them jobs as investigators?
I wonder why a man that has
$500 monthly income in his fam
lily should have a job in the
commissary department at $1,000 a
month.
Why is it that a shoe salesman
working on FERA should get $170
a month? Is it any wonder he
can't get any work as shoe sales
man?
Why is it that people with 10
in a family only get $50 a month
and others with only two in fam
lily get $40 a month?
If people on relief ask for mat
tresses, they say they don't have
any. I wonder why they store
them and let the rats and rain
destroy hundreds of them? How
about the thousands. of cans of
beef that have rusted and spoiled
while people go hungry?
Why do they give sheets and
towels to some and tell others they
have none? In fact, they give
some people so much that they
give them away to other relatives
that have good jobs.

PWA STRIKE BRINGS
READER COMMENT
By a New Deal Critic

By a New Deal Critic
Last year in San Francisco the
New Deal firmly refused to with
draw relief support from the men
who fomented the general strike
against all industry there. The off,
cial position was that man had
the right to existence whether he
was joblesS because of the lack Of
jobs or because his union ordered
him to quit work.
Now We have the unions ordering
their men off the Work Progress
Administration projects in New
York because of WPA pay rates
vastly under those paid on the San
Francisco waterfront. President
Roosevelt counters with what has
been called a work or-starve edict.
1t looks like it's just another case
of whose dog is killed.

Protests Relief System

Now, let's compare a few more
figures. A year ago the govern
ment bureau said family of five
should have SLABS a week for
groceries in order to have a bal
anced diet and avoid malnutri-
ton. They gave us $3.50 to live
on which means 50 cents a week
each or approximately 712 cents
a day for each person. Since then
Lying has advanced so per cent.
Eggs then were 8 and 10 cents a
dozen or three dozen for 25 cents.
Pork chops were 10 and 1919
cents a pound or pounds for %
cents. JoWl was and cents
pound.
Today a family of five gets 50
a week. just think of it, 40 cents
more on a week or cents more
a week each person or approx
mateiy IT cents more each day
for each person.
Compare prices paid today for
same listed above. Are we bet
ter or worse off? This is our
New Deal.
Are we ready for a third party
and who is willing to put their
shoulders to the wheel and build
a third American Party?
If we protest against such
abuses listed above we are not
good, patriotic Americans. Well,
I'm afraid 1 can't be considered
patriotic 1 Just wonder how much
longer we Americans are going to
tolerate such a damnable system
of government?
Surely I'm not the only father
that is tired hearing my babies
say. Daddy, can't we have milk?

want some apples. Daddy, get
us some shoes and clothes like
other children. Can't We have
