Of social security legislation as a
result OF conferences held yesterday
with Merrill G. Murray, associate di-
rector, unemployment compensation
bureau, Federal Social Security
Board
In conferences arranged by the
Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
Mr., Murray explained what type
legislation Indiana must have to
benefit by the unemployment COM
pensation tax.
He led a panel discussion on the
legislation following a dinner last
night, at the Lincoln. Today, Mr..
Murray was to leave indianapolis
to attend special session Of the
Minnesota legislature.
In general the points which must
be incorporated in an Indiana law
are:
Benefits are to be paid through
the public employment offices, and
can not begin until two years after
the law is in force.
Funds collected by the state must
be held in trust by the United
States Treasury and can be drawn
out only for benefits.
Unemployed persons must accept
employment offered except when
the plant Offering employment is
having strike difficulties, wages,
hours and conditions are lower than
prevailing scales, or if the employe
would be forced to resign from
union membership or join a COM
pany union.
Administration of the act would
remain in the hands of state au-
thorities, Mr.. Murray said,

BELIEVES LABOR WILL SOON
AWAKEN TO POWER
BY H. C. A.

By H. c. A.
Thanks to Powers Hapgood We
now know that the Governor is vio-
lating the Constitution of Indiana
by keeping Vigo County under mar
tial law.
1t seems as if Constitutions r
sacred as long as their provisions
suit the ruling class, but should be
ignored as a matter of course pro-
vided they a be interpreted in
favor Of the workers.
Still worse is the case of Sullivan
County, which has been kept under
military rule since the days Of the
now forgotten Gov. Leslie.
The wealthy class laid down the
rules of the game when the National
and state Constitutions were framed.
AS long as labor is kept weak, the
ideals of Democracy are shouted
from all street corners, but as soon
as labor grows stronger, the money
class changes the rules.
We know that the working class
will gain strength during the next
few years, and we also know that in
the same measure the two old par
ties will pass restrictive laws and
regulations, until We have the Fascist
state, with freedom of speech a
pleasant memory. There is nothing
that the Republicans will not do to

against the worker.
But if these grand and exalted
rulers think it worth while to keep
up something which resembles
democracy, they ought to change
the rules first and act afterwards.
instead of trying to demonstrate
more or less successful law violations
to their innocent subjects. If it had
not been for a handful Of vigilant
Socialists, the masses would have
put up with this outrageous action
Of the Governor as something that
had to be suffered, something which
they did not like, but could not
change.
Oh, workers of America, NAV YOU
soon realize your own overwhelming
strength. Like a blinded Samson
you have fallen for the lure Of De-
lilah of the Republicans. Don't let
her trim your hair any more. She
does not love you, she hates YOU
while she let's her manicured fingers
glide caressingly through your
t~resses, with the scissors in the 9TH
er hand.
Wake up, giant You can rule
this country whenever you choose,
and you will rule it the day you
stop throwing your ballots at the
feet OF Delilah, your arch enemy.

100000 FOR A BOOK!

TT is hard to imagine even the most devoted
l. book lover paying as much as 100000 for
one book-not an old book, valuable to COL
Iectors, but a brand-new publication just of
the press, valuable solely for. its narrative.
Yet that is the price which has been set
for The Mint" the last book written by the
late Lawrence of Arabia. Ten copies will be
published and offered at that figure.
There's a catch in it, Of course. Lawrence
wrote The Mint" to express his bitterness
of heart against some of the leading Brit
ish statesmen who. he felt, had ruined his
own work in Arabia. The book can't well be
circulated until all these statesmen are dead.
1t is being published now to protect the copy
right-and that $500, 900 price tag is just to
make certain that no one will buy it.
1t is also, incidentally, a fine bit OF advance
press-agentry. against the time when the BOOK
is actually released to the public.

scRIPPs-HowARD NEWSPAPER

POLITICALLY. A. D.. 1885 viii go down in
history as a banner year for labor.
The recent Congress enacted four momen-
tous labor laws. They we're the Wagner Labor
Relations Act. which William Green calls ia
boris Magma Charta"; Social Security, a sweep
ing measure writing the new principle that
government and industry must help keep the
workers out Of the poor house and bread
line; the Railroad Retirement Act, a security
measure to care for the aged veterans Of the
railways; the Gufey Coal Act, a Federal law
that may form a pattern for government regu-
lation Of industry.
These four laws are not perfect instruments.
But they are tremendously significant in their
purpose. They mark an abrupt turning point
in the Republics attitude toward its work.
ing people.
Economically. however. labor still is in the
valley. With all our made-work billions and
effort we have not laid the spectre, unemploy-
ment. Private business improves month by
month. but private employment stands still.
Indeed, the index or private employment, as
reported by the Labor Department. has gone
down from 824 per cent Of the l923-25 level
in April TO 79.5 in July. The National In
dustrial Conference Board reported 9.826,OO
unemployed in July. 1894, and 1O,015, 900 I'M
employed in July. 1895.
h apparent paradox appears to be due,
first. to the loss Of NRA and the longer labor
hours that have followed. and. next. to that
friend and foe of the workers, the mahine.
There is food for thought in the facts that
productivity Of each industrial worker has in
creased % per cent since 1929 and that the
machine tool industry leads all other heavy
industries in the upturn. Factories that turn
out labor-saving machines have jumped pro-
duction from a low of 81 per cent of the
1923-25 normal in March. 1893, to SO per cent
in July of this year.
Must America. with its amazing mechani-
cal genius. confess itself bankrupt of the
economic craftsmanship needed to solve this
problem of the machine? 1t can be solved
only through social controls and economic
planning on a national scale. Unless it is
solved we must settle Town to permanent
doles and periodic crises.
On paper labor has won equality in bargain
ing power with employers. a system for cush-
ioning the blows of old-age and temporary
jobIessness. the beginning of industrial plan
ming. It's mex. tasks are to make these and
other laws work in behalf of permanent Sc
curity and to make the machine its slave in
stead of its master.
The hosts of labor on the march today will
feel grateful for their legislative gains. But
they have only begun their long struggle
against poverty and insecurity.

A VIVID LESSON IN CRIME

FINDING of the body of John Hamilton in
l. a gravel pit grave near a small town in
Illinois seems to write fins to the story
of the Dillinger gang, and if there ever was
a story which ought to dispel the glamor
which is supposed to invest the lives of out
laws, this surely is the one.
1t is hard to recall any outlaw gang which
was as completely and ruthlessly crushed as
the Dillinger mob. Dillinger was shot down
in an alley, Pierpont was electrocuted, Mel
son and Makley and Van Meter and heaven
knows who else were killed by officers . .
and now, at the end, we get this picture Of
Hamilton, dying from gunshot wounds as the
gang fed frantically from the ~, buried
hastily in a gravel pit by tie wayside as
Nemesis closed in on the survivors.
It's a dark picture. Any impressionable
youth who can study it and still feel that
there is something gay and dashing about
an outlaws life ought to have his head ex-
amined.

PRAISE
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
OF an Indiana summer,
You may say Just what you
please;
There's a lot of solid comfort
And a lot Of gracious ease
In looking round about you at
The beauty God let grow
BY Hoosier lakes and highways and
Where winding rivers flow.
There are beaches; there are wood
lands;
There are canyons etched with
flowers.
The cities faunt skyscrapers and
Stores with ~air-cooled bowers.
Some place you'll find for every
mood
That summer stimulates
From pools. golf grounds. and flying
fields,
To welcome garden gates.
And if you don't believe that folks
Flock here from other states,
Just park beside some road and
count
The alien license plates.
From North and South and East
and West,
They food u paved highways.
Their constant hum Of motors chant
A Hoosier hymn Of praise.

BY Fl. L. Seeger
The victory of the Radical So
cial Credit Party in Alberta,
Canada, gives Maj. c. H. Douglas,
who evolved the plan of social
credit, an opportunity to apply it
on a small scale.
The theory behind the plan is
that sufficient purchasing power
credit is to be distributed to in
sure consumption Of the products
Of industry.
The object is to prevent de-
%pressions. Since industry has
failed to provide this purchasing
power in the form of wages to
permit adequate consumption, the
state or provincial government
will step in and supply the de-
ficiency.
1t is not a relief plan, as we
are accustomed to regard relief,
that is as a dole to retard or
destroy production to prevent
adequate consumption, but it is a
bounty to aid in heavier con-
sumption. Of course, such pro-
cedure to the conservative mind
is dangerous radicalism.
If that term expresses the idea
that increased consumption is
dangerous, then we must apply
a term to the opposite view.
Sabotage on a grand scale is
necessary to maintain scarcity in
u modern efficient producing
plants.
The term anarchy aptly x
presses the idea Of sabotage. So
we have already created I'M
Willingly two great new parties:
the Radical party and the Anar-
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-02
Forcing Consumption

chiSt party. 1t looks as if there
are two branches of the latter in
the United States. Having geared
production to a high cQnsump-
ton possibility, now every effort
is made to prevent high consump-
ton to become effective.
Relief in our case is a matter of
supplying such a minimum of
purchasing on the part of those
who ought to consume the high
production volume that we insure
the cessation of high production.
The nitWits in our anarchist
economy still believe that is the
way to insure recovery.
We created more than II billion
dollars of added Federal debt so
far in attempting to throttle con-
sumption. We robbed the farm
ers of 40 billion dollars of farm
values, destroyed more than 100
million dollars daily in creative
power of our workers, denied to
other nations the privilege Of pro-
duction exchange in international
trade and made the world safe
for war. We call that constitu-
tional liberty.
Such is the record Of conserva-
tism with a program of anarchic
sabotage. The financial Com
munists have painted the land
red. The whole program is con-
trolled by a small group that con-
trolls the medium of exchange, to
permit the advantages of produc-
zion to be sabotaged for the bene-
tit Of the group that controls pro-
duction.
The Radical Social Credit Party
program proposes to force con-
sumption by distributing adequate
purchasing power.

property.
I will say further that the guards
placed at the mine were there only
a short time and that the mine did
not operate under the protection Of
the militia.

will find that Gov. McNutt put Sui

and I will have to say that in all
of my dealings with the former

him fair at all times. That is all
we ask for-an even break.

LESLIE is
IN MINE CASE
By W. E. Tate. Sullivan.

By w. E. Tate. Sullivan.
In fairness to all concerned, I
would like to correct the statement
Of H. L. Seeger, regarding the
placing Of martial law in Sullivan
County.
First, I will say that former Gov.
Leslie never did put Sullivan County
under martial law. I, as one Of a
committee of three, was present
when he gave his consent to Adjt.
Gen. Paul E. Tombaugh to put an
area within a radius Of one mile of
the Hoosier mine under martial
law.
A few troops were sent to Shaka-
max Park but were not sent TO the
mine until after our conference with
the Governor and the picket lines
we're removed by agreement. He
made it clear to all concerned that

him than a problem in social welfare-it was
a thing that he felt must be corrected.
WITH the passage Of Indiana's old-age
w pension law in 1893, a less sincere man
than Otto P. Deluse might have considered
his work done. But not he. Frankly declaring
that the law fell short Of what he believed
was due the states aged poor, he worked
incessantly for its liberalization.
His devotion to the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles claimed much Of his time and effort.
He had addressed Eagles aeries throughout the
country and despite his failing health attended
this years national convention in Dayton, O.,
and the Indiana Eagles convention in Michi-
gan City.
Logically, his kindly nature did not harbor
a trace Of intolerance and he proudly referred
to the organization to which so many years
of his life had been devoted as one in which
a man could take part regardless Of the
manner in which he worshipped his God.
To his sorrowing widow is left the memory
of a devoted, considerable husband; to his son
and daughter, the memory Of a father they
can always recall with pride.
To his mother, t~ottering under the burden
of 70 years Of life, there is the memory Of
having given mankind a friend-a faithful,
helpful friend.
Otto P. Deluse fought a good fight; he kept
the faith. The world is a better place in which
to live because of him.
