WILD ENGINE

THE new railmen'S pension bill, rushed
through Congress with little debate or
opposition, is wild engine.
1t Jacks a tender with fuel. The bill pen
sions some $4,000 railmen past 65 next year at
a cost of $50 O00, 000 Its companion bill to tax
plenish the United States Treasury for these
pensions is stalled in the House Ways and Means
Committee. The bills belong together. first,
because they set out to meet the Supreme
Courts objection to last years pension act by
the simple device of appropriating and taxing,
and thus avoid the question of interstate COM
merce, and next, because without revenue the
government must pay the bill out Of the gen.
eral tax funds
Congress also put the cowcatcher on the
wrong end of this engine. 1t added the reso-
luton to investigate the subject of rail pen
sions to the bill providing for pensions. Why
pass bill and then investigate the basis for it?
Here is example Of scram legislation,
that will react against the welfare Of the mil
lion rail workers. Their pensions under the
bill stop at sl20 month. while top annuities
under the Social Security Act for other
workers are sSl Is monthly. If Congress fails
TO pass the revenue half of this program the
government will be accused of paying out high
pensions in behalf of favored class.
The President should hold up the bill until
Congress passes its companion measure.

serves in a military capacity only
during war time has a different
slant on things.
He may not be interested in the
abstract thing called war, either for
or against it. But, if he is of
practical turn of mind, he will think
twice before shifting from civilian
TO military life. In case a foreign
nation should attack any Of our
shores directly most men would feel
it their duty to shift to military life
until the attacks we're repulsed.
But, it is doubtful if man who
served overseas would repeat actions
Of 13 years ago. The experience,
except for the travel thrills in for
eign lands, did not convince many
of the deSirability or necessity for
another jaunt of this type Many
would uphold our constitutional
form of government from under
mining here at home, but the idea
of long-range protection and in
tereSt in the other fellows quarrels
is taboo.

The LdbOrer's Right

BY D. z. Tate
1t is with keen interest that I
read each issue of The Indian
apolis Times. I judge paper by
its editorials and I find it to be
the fairest to organized labor of
any newspaper published in In
diana.
In regard to our unemployment
situation, can not see that there
has been any constructive legis-
lation so far.
We can not deny that our gov
eminent relief work has been a
great help. In the first place, it
was only intended as a temporary
measure with the hope of stimu-
lating business by creating more
consumption. This can not solve
the problem because they have
not taken the real cause of our
situation into consideration.
It is true it will cause some
few to be given work that have
been laid off temporarily but it
will not put any man or woman
back at work that has been dis
placed by modern machinery.
Until this is done, there can be
no relief.
Big business would have the
public believe that organized
labor is fighting modern machin-
cry. This is not a fact. We are
only fighting system under
which it is operated.
If the machine is not regulated
so that it will benefit the people
as a whole instead of just its
owner, it will continue to be a
detriment to all concerned. In
order to prevent this, it becomes
necessary to put the machine and

URGES VETERANS GO
AFTER THAT BONUS
BY a Veteran

BY Veteran
Hoosier Legionnaires, now that
you are assembled in legislative
body, show us veterans of the World
War what you are made of. Adopt
a resolution asking universal con-
scription in the next war. When pol
iticians, industrialists, capitalists,
and bankers are forced to do a goose
step at $50 a month, rumors of
war will suddenly decline in popu-
larity.
And say, Buddies, don't forget
to demand cash payment of the
bonus. Oh, know you will be sub
iect to such remarks as ''the veteran
is a greater menace to the country
than the Communist" commercial
patriots" treasury raiders" and
numerous other banker coined
phrases, but stick out your chin,
Buddy, and show them you can
take it.
1t has been many year since you
were acclaimed a hero. Editorial
writer's wrote themselves into emo
tional tantrums praising your deeds,
monuments were erected in your
honor with abandoned recklesSness,
and if recall correctly down east
village went so far as to erect
comfort station to your everlasting
glory.
Remember, too, that the Civil
War boys have been treated gen.
erously by Uncle Sam. The Spanish
War vets, who were called upon to
squelch an uprising of a small band
of G-string strummerS and rumba
dancers, have been restored to full
benefits by repeating the Economy
Act as pertains to them.
And while your chin protrudes
pay no attention to the rear adj
mirals and spur1ed desk officers
who, while accepting lifelong retire
ment doles from the government,
will cry loud and long and resign
from your organization.
Yes, sir, Buddy, that bonus is
rightfully yours on the premise that
a laborer is worthy of his hire.

EDITORIAL ON WAR
is PRAISED
By Hiram Lackey

By Hiram Lackey
Delightfully."- analytical is your
editorial of Aug. 81 which unmasks
the real motives of Britain and re-
veals the wrenches which she has
thrown between the cogs of inter
national peace machinery.
Above all, that editorial is fair
and just. 1t is a splendid example
of scholarship in journalism.
This editorial gives us that quail
ity of enlightenment which, in 1917,
could have saved the United States
billions of dollars and hundreds of
thousands Of lives. You are fighting
for the greatest Of all causes-peace.
1t is worthy of martyrdom.
True, we can but dinly ap-
preciate the value of your service.
We will not give you one millionth
of that which you deserve. How
ever, the intellectual joy of writing
such an editorial is its own reward.
And you must find happiness in
the knowledge that you are main
tanning the prestige of The Indian
apolis Times, which is renowned for
the excellence Of its editorials.

the hours Of labor on a competi-
tive basis. In laying the Black
bill to one side, I believe our Ad-
ministration muffed the chance of
doing some real good.
Being a United Mine Worker,
I have the welfare and the ad-
vancement Of organized labor at
heart. While I have not yet been
displaced by the machine, there
are thousands in the Indiana coal
fields that have and with no hope
of ever being employed in the
mines again. No one can truth
fully say that the U. M. w. A. has
not tried to go along with the
Administration and tried to ne
gotiate contract without a
strike.
Labors only strength lies in its
right to strike after all other eff
forts have failed to win. and am
a firm believer in that right.
I do not believe in arbitration
after a strike has been called. We
should be sure we are right and
stay with it. 1t is true that or
ganized labor has lost lot be-
cause of violence, not the fault Of
labor. 1t is the business of CAPT.
tai to see that there is violence in
case of a strike. 1t gives them a
chance to ask for martial law,
which gives them protection while
they exploit cheap labor. We still
have martial law in Sullivan
County and it is my opinion we
will have this as long as McNutt
is Governor.
Surely the man who labors
should have the right to work and
earn a wage scale that would al
low him to rear a family and pro-
vide them with anything that is
produced by labor.

GAMBLING rs GOING
ON ITS MERRY WAY
BY Harry Mcintyre

By Harry Mcintyre
What is the occasion for all the
highly publicized lid which is now
supposed to have been placed on
the local gambling establishments?
If the Chief of Police and the
Sheriff think that they have but
the lid on they surely have forgot
ten to clamp it down.
What is the difference if the
horse players sit in barber shop
and bet the horses where the book
makers headquarters occupy the
back room or sit in the bookie joint
proper? What is the difference if
a craps game moves from its known
headquarters to a hotel two doors
south? The determined horse play
ers stand in front of bookie shop
and give bets to the runners. "
Gambling has not been stopped and
I am not convinced that a consci-
entious effort is being made to
stop il.
