Chain Gang To
Be Revived

Austin, Tex, July II, (CNA)-The
chain gang, in all its brutality, is to
be revived in the capital of Texas.
Hundreds of Negro and white workers
accused of ~"vagrancy' will be dragged
from their shacks to build roads in
the hot sun. According to county
officials the chain gang is being re-
established to prevent people going
to Jail to be fed" One wonders if
the chain gang prisoners are to be
worked without food.
During the recent flood. county
prisoners were used to clear away
accumulated debris. This gave County
Judge George S. Mathews an idea.
Why not use Migrants" to build the
roads, especially since Travis County
is due to receive a large share of the
Federal highway grant to Texas Nat
urally, free labor means more cash
in official pockets. Judge Mathews
served IS years as county sheriff;
during that time he had charge of the
county chain gang.
The chain gang measure is spon-
sored by Commissioner John E. Shell
ton, a large landowner who will
benefit from chain gang labor. His
brother, Emmett Shelton, was a
member of the former county relief
board, forced to resign through mass
dissatisfaction of the workers. An
other brother, Harold Shelton, at
tempted several years ago to organize
the unemployed of Austin into a
Fascist group.
If the landowners and politicians
of Travis County succeed in establish
ing a chain gang it will set a prece-
dent for the whole state. More
over, this will depress wages and en-
ployment to even greater depths.
Workers organizations are urged to
send protests to County Judge
George S. Mathews, Court House,
Austin, Texas, demanding that this
measure be dropped.

suggests the probability Of some
further 1et-down thereafter.
Consumer buying Is too largely
dependent upon Government
spending to furnish a normal
basis for business, AS things are
now, another squirt seems unlikely
until the New Deal administration
starts dealing out its four billion
work relief" fund. This Is not
likely to get well started until
fall.
The steel industry Is drag
ging along at around AZ per
cent Of capacity. The chief de-
velOpments have been a further.
decline in the steel scrap mar.
ket, and q cut in the price Of
steel barS-the latter being the
first important price reduction
in finished steel in almost .
year. Considerable doubt as to
the maintenance of the steel
code is factor.
The automobile industry con-
tinues at high level, though not
making the usual seasonal gain.
Lumber and cotton textile produc-
tion has Jagged a little further.
The total volume Of goods dis.
tributed in trade channels, though
quite "spotty," is well maintained.
Railway car 1oadingS rose, partly
on account of coal shipments to
insure against a strike; and retail
trade has benefited by O pre-.
Easter squirt.
Commodity prices recovered fur
ther last week, and neared the
high average of early February.
The chief factor was shortage of
corn, butter, and cattle. Hides
rose. But weakness in cotton cloth
was notable, and rubber and COT
fee were lower.
Last week will long be re-
membered for the final passage
Of the Work Relief Bill" empow.
ering the President to support
millions of people by spending
four billion dollars, and to make
jobs for that purpose.
Coming at a time when waste
and graft in work relief have been
disclosed in New York (and after
a quickly hushed explosion in
Ohio, this is ominous. It marks
a decline in individual initiative.
and a reliance upon the central
government, which are appalling.
AS a result Of wild and unsound
"experiments," the depression has
been needlessly' prolonged. More
and more people find their re.
serves exhausted, while employ.
ment in productive labor is
blocked. About. Is per cent Of
the total population is on relief
rolls, nearly 80 per cent of which
are financed by the Federal Gov.
eminent.
Thus the incentive to earn o
living by production is sapped.
The notion that people can con.
sumo without producing, by
spending an inexhauStible sup
ply of dollars based on a bound
less government credit, is en-
cOuraged.
This week the security" bill Is
slated TO come up. Again the
idea is to enable people to con.
sumo without producing.
One would suppose that our
problem is, not to restore the Sc
curity of production and earned
incomes, but to perfect scheme
for continuing the depression
while the results of past prosperity
are shared"
