 Saved From Disaster
 Helena was the center of last nights quake and authorities said that only the fact the business dis trict is in gulch saved the city from major disaster. The tremor was felt as far east as Billings in central Montana and as far west as Spokane, Wash. In Butte, south of Helena, the shock caused miners to race out of the workings of the Ana conda Copper Mining company.
 Helena, Butte. and other cities were severely damaged. Hundreds of citizens driven from their homes by the first shock remained in the streets all night. afraid to return. A number of buildings collapsed here. including two story brick structure.
 The severe shock was the last in a series of GO that began last Satur- day, many being so minor that they registered only on the most delicate of instruments. The final shock was described as the most severe recorded at the St. Michael Observa- tory's sejsmograph was thrown of

 Hutcheson had attempted to stop kthe debate, claiming the issue al- ready had been settled. He criticized Lewis for reopening the fight and became personal in his remarks. Lewis arose:

MEAT PACKERS
SAFETY CONTEST

In the statewide meat packers
safety contest being sponsored by the
division Of safety and hygiene, indus
trial commission of Ohio, an analysis
of reports for the four months period
ending April 30, shows that Miami
Sausage Co., of Hamilton, is third in
standing in its group.
During the period, the firms enroll
ed in the campaign worked 3,626,297
man-hours, with 1872 accidents caus-
ing loss of time to workers, a fre-
quency rate of 36.4 per million man
hours worked.
Eight tate-wide campaigns are now
being conducted in Ohio under indus
trial commission auspices. They in
clude mining, construction, oil refin-
ers, wholesale petroleum distributors,
light and power producers, meat
packers, quarries and lime burners.
Comparative figures show that
many Of these groups, which have car
ried on accident prevention work over
a period of years, have made marked
reductions in the number and severity
Of injuries to their employees and elimi-
mated heavy economic losses to both
employers and employees.

IMPORTANCE OF THIRTY HOUR

in part the longer work week that
employers will undoubtedly seek to
impose under the decision of the su-

wrought by the decision.

HOW HIGH FINANCE WORKS

Two investment trust companies
went on the rocks in Boston a few
days ago. the seaboard Utilities and
Railroad Shares.
The theory Of the investment trust
company is that the men who man
age it know all about values of securi-
ties, and can make the right invest
ments. The common man with little
money to invest is helpless in the stock
market, so the trust comes along to
guide him. He buys shares in the
trust, and the trust buys securities
that its managers are supposed to
know as the gilt-edged sort. In this
way, it is explained to the little IN
vestor, he may not get the highest re-
turns; but he is very sure of his money
and Of a moderate income from the use
Of it.
The two trust companies were put
out to the public in September, 1929,
six weeks before the crash in the
stock market. They were sold to pru-
dent investors at $12 share. Their
market price is now around 25 cents
share; rather less than more.
And these companies were formed
and these inexpert investors gypped
by the same crowd that is fighting the
banking law now before congress, and
crying out in horror at the bill which
would put utility holding companies
out Of business. They are the same
bunch which is telling us every day
that if government would just quit
interfering with business, prosperity
would come back on the morning mail.
Is there no limit to the gall and
persistent greed Of the "high fnan-
cier"?

WHO WANTS BRAINS, ANYWAY?

WHO WANTS BRAINS, ANYWAY?
Babe Ruth and the Braves have
parted company. Babe, who used to
be known as King of Swat, says that
Emile Fuchs, president Of the ball
club. "double-crossed" him; and
Fuchs retorts that no one but an
imbecile' would act as Ruth has acted.
Perhaps both Of them are telling the
truth. But what a commentary on the
interests of the American mind that
their quarrel should be on the front
page of nearly every metropolitan
newspaper in the United States.
Ruth has had for a dozen years
an income which the veracious chron-
iclers of the sporting pages put at
from $4,000 a year up. A dozen first
class college professors could be hired
for that sum. But, without indorsing
Mr.. Fuchs peevish remark, the fact
remains that Babe won fame and for
tune, not by thinking, but by not
needing to think. There is no time to
think when big league pitcher turns
loose at you. Either your eyes and
muscle work together exactly right,
with none Of the delay that thinking
means, o. you find yourself struck
out.
Babe Ruth had a powerful frame,
and coordination that enabled him
an unusual percentage Of times to
meet the coming horsehide squarely
on the nose. That combination Of
qualities has no necessary connection
with brains.

The Cherry
SYv Where with our
fQ0 Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes Eippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

! Donald Richberg will have many
things to rise up and haunt him as he
contemplates the wreck of NRA.
First will be his drafting, or his part
in drafting, the bill which became
MIRA.
Second will be his decision in the
automobile case.
Third will be his decision in the
Jennings case.
Fourth will be his selection of the
Schechter case as the one on which to
risk alP' in the supreme court.
| There will be others, of course, in
cluding his general policy which fore
ed his break with Johnson and which
led in steady trend toward the col
| lapse of NRA.
It had lost its momentum before
I the supreme court, in language more
vigorous than any court is accustom-
ed to use, blasted the structure right
off its foundation-or blasted the
foundation from under the structure,
as you choose.
Here are couple of side observa-
tions having to do with the crash:
Homer S. Cummings, u. S. attorney
general, is in supreme command of the
governments legal forces in prose
cution and defense.
Yet Mr. Cummings has escaped
criticism without a scratch in connec-
tion with the wreck of NRA.
! Ordinarily Cummings would have
! had to shoulder at least half the
blame, but he has managed to keep
out of the picture. Some are saying
that is about the most adroit thing
that has been done in the whole show.
The other interesting thing is that
the morning after the smash, when
everyone else was still struck dumb,
Hugh Johnson began talking straight
from the shoulder, not scared, not
wailing at the wall.
He stood up and fought back and
made money out of it, too, for he is
now highly paid writer.
! Johnson calls the wage cutters of
today greasy buzzards" and that's a
good name.
| When union men call names they
are told they mustn't use harsh words.
| No labor men ever used more pictur-
esque language than Johnson uses
Greasy buzzards" among business
men are just about the equivalent of
scabs among workers.
! And there are plenty of them
/ They began their dirty work before
the corpses Of NRA was cold.
| And they kept it up.
There were firms that even ordered
workers to repay wage increases that
had been ordered by NRA

Slaughter of Innocent
Civilians in Next War
To the Editor of The Times,

To the Editor of The Times;
The thesis advanced by Mr..
H. r. Knickerbocker, in his not
able articles now appearing in
The Times: that a wholesale
slaughter Of innocent civilians
will usher in the next war, ap-
pears, at first thought, to be
utterly incredible.
And yet the record of our own
generation proves incontrovertibly
that there are at least three ma
tions capable Of such a slaugh-
ter.
FirSt-Germany. because she
made war on women and chill
dren in the World War.
Second-Japan, because that
nation today is engaged in whole.
sale masSacres in China. Her
callous disregard of the worlds
opinion is invited by the apathy
with which our supposedly civil
lied nations view this indefenS-
ible pillage and murder.
Third-Itsly, because she is
preparing to make war on an in
nocent nation; a nation which
has agreef to arbitrate any diff
ficulties, real or imagined; a ma
ton that has called on the civil.
lied powers for aid in preventing
