S249, 100000 Housing Plans
Are Turned Over to Hopkins

Washington, D. @. (AFLNS)-F Final
determination Of the housing projects
to be financed out of S249, 100000 set
aside by President Roosevelt for Pub
lie Works Administrator Ickes's slum
clearance program has been turned
over to Harry /. Hopkins, works prog
ress administrator, according to a dis
closure by Mr.. Ickes himself when
Hopkins name was sent to the senate
for confirmation.
Mr.. Ickes said the allotment board
had already approved Y low-cost prof
ects in so cities and that he had sub
mitted "a more projects in 21 cities.
Slum clearance enthusiasts expected
that $560,000,000 of the S4,800,0 ,000,0 900
work relief fund would be expended
for low-cost housing, but according to
Mr. Ickes the $249,000,000 worth of

Wagner Considers Licensing
Shippers to Protect Labor

Washington, D. c. (AFLNS) In an

provisions of the old NRA codes which
were destroyed by the decision of the
United States Supreme Court holding
the national industrial recovery act
unconstitutional Senator Robert F.
Wagner, of New York, author of the
original recovery act, was disclosed as
one Of a group working on a plan to
require all shippers in interstate com
merce to be licensed by the federal
government.
Under this proposed legislation the
observance Of wages and hours stand
ards fixed by the government and the
banning of child labor would be re

POLICE WILL Use
1,5O0-VOlt Shock From Elec.
trio Glove to Subdue
Strike Rioters"

By A. F. of L. News Service.
New York, N .Y.-The police de-
partment Of New York city has placed
an order for quantity quotations on
an electric glove to be used by police
men in subduing so-called "rioters"
in strikes and other disorderly per-
sons. The glove will give 1,500-volt
shock to persons who resist arrest or
refuse to fade away when ordered to
disperse.
According to the New York Times,
the apparatus consists Of a battery,
carried on the hip and not larger
than a revolver holster, wire drawn
through the sleeve of the carrier and
an insulated glove designed to give
the current to the obstreperous person.
"The induction coil, which lowers
the amperage and raises the voltage is
contained in the apparatus and
through the glove passes an electric
shock through an adversary by mere
contact. The variable voltage of
low and unburning amperage is reg
ulated by the pressure exerted on the
thumb-switch of the glove"
According to police department re-
ports the shock submitted by the
glove is strong enough to knock the
recipient helpless.
The apparatus was invented by
Senior Cirilo Hernandez Diaz, 81
year-old construction superintendent
of the Frederick Shane Company, now
operating in Latin America, the Times
said.

An,.ients' Calendar Plan
Complicated Proposition

Telling the seasons In olden days
was complicated business. We tick
off the days and months with a pencil,
but the aneients calculated by the
moon, notes a writer In the Montreal
Herald. 1t Is said that Noah used the
early Egyptian calendar of the five
month year. thirty days to the month,
and each month three weeks of ten
days. Sticks, tied In bundles, was the
invariable way Of telling the day and
season with the greater part of the
ancient world, and today some Amer
ican Indians keep FIVE bundles of thirty
sticks, pulling out one stick for each
day. The last bundle Is repeated in
each half-year to level things up. and
the middle bundle Is split In two to
Judge the approach Of midsummer or
mid-winter.
In the South Sea islands the moon
stick" Is used to determine the sea-
sons A notch Is cut In the stick after
each passing moon. Borneo uses a cal
endar consisting of various lengths Of
tattooed poles.
The Dyaks have a custom whereby
they tell the season By the length Of
the suns shadow. Calendar-makers
tour the country IN the season of SOW
Ing and plant these colored poles on
the farms. By system of queer cal
culation they adjust these poles to a
certain length marked on the ground.
Invariably this shadow marking proves
accurate, and IN due time the calendar
maker again tours the farms to receive
his payment Of part of the crop.
Naming the Y. $. A.
The name United States Of America
is really an evolutionary product, a
name which began to develop as soon
as the colonies banded themselves to-
gether, notes writer In the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Some Of the old local
coins refer to the Unity States OF
America" The Declaration of Inde-
pendence asserts that these united
colonies are and of right ought to be
free and independent states 1t alse
speaks Of them as the United States
OF America. So do the Articles of Con.
federation and Constitution. The "au
thority" by which the name Is used
Is that Of the people, as delegated tc
the Continental congress and the other
bodies which shaped the form Of ouI
| government.

One feature of the program, how
ever, should be carefully guarded. 1t
is the plan to train youths for pri-
vate employment and secure work for
them in private industry. Employers,
uncontrolled by trade union organiza-
tions, usually employ young people
because they consent to work for lower
wages than adult men and women.
They should not be permitted to use
the presidents plan to break down
scales in private industry.

HOW THE IVA WORKS

Speaking to an audience of mechan-
ical engineers at Norris, Tenn, re-
Gently. David E. Lilienthal, of the
IVA, declared Of the IVA experiment
of lowered electric rates that "they
work"
"They have produced great savings
to consumers, he said; they have
resulted in much wider use of cleo
tricity; they have increased the sale
and use Of electric equipment, and
they have paid handsome profit
As one illustration of the way IVA
works, DR.. Lilienthal cites the case
Of Athens, Ala, which owns its dis
tributing plant, and buys current
wholesale from IVA. The domestic
rate in Athens averaged about 512
cents per kilowatt hour till the IVA
came. Then it was cut about 45 per
cent. Domestic use Of electricity in
Athens has gone up three-fold in the
past year. Sales of electrical apph-
anees have averaged SIP per resi-
dence. About 40 per cent more people
IN the town are taking electricity; the
amount taken by each resident has
more than doubled; the average rate
for domestic current used in May was
about 2 cents per XVIII; and the city
of Athens is saving for extensions
and Improvements 1913 cents out Of
every dollar that it gets for current.
And still a federal Judge says it Is
confiseation' for IVA to make such
low rates!
Lilienthal also told the story Of the
Tennessee Electrical Power Co, which
he IVA kicked upstairs, to renewed
prosperity and to something like
fame The IVA required the Ten
nessee Power to cut its rates about
20 per cent. The walls Of profteers
rent the sky. But in single year,
use of current at the low rates has
increased - much that the Tennessee
IS gctting practically the same rev
nue that it got before; and the Edi-
son Electric Institute publicly gave
this company medal for the finest
record of the country for the year.
Ii works. One would say It did, One
could wish that the same system work
ed on a far wider scale. DR. Lilien-
thai shows that if all electric consum-
ers Of the United States got the same
stimulus Of low rates and answered
in the same way that folks do where
the IVA manages things, they would
buy about $4,000, 900, 900 more a year
of refrigerators, washing machines
electric ranges and other household
conveniences. And two billions a yeal
Of new business in one line would give
quite push to industry.

Amoskeag Mfg. Co.
Fights Cotton Process Tax

Manchester, N. H. (AFLNS) The
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company
here, the largest single cotton textile
plant in the world, instituted suit
to recover $2,500o00 which company
officials allege the government had
unlawfully and illegally collected by
means of the cotton processing tax.
Counsel for the company said the
suit was brought to test the constitu-
tionality of the tax and that if neces-
sary the case would be taken to the
supreme court Of the United States.

THE DELICATE SENsIBILITIES
OF BANKERS

Four big banks in New York city

about 10 cents on the dollar. All these
banks had taken some part in floating

any careful investigation Of what lay
back Of the Kreuger securities before
offering the worthless paper junk to
people who trusted those banks. They
just sold the stuff, took their commits

JOBS FOR YOUTH


President Roosevelt has established
national youth administration
within the works progress adninistra
tion to supply work and vocational
education to unemployed young men
and women between the ages of l6 and
25. Supported with q $50,oo0o0o fund
alloeated from the S4,8oo,0oo,ooc
work relief appropriation, it is beliey-
ed that at least 100000 young people.
most Of whom have been locked out
Of employemnt BY those who own and
control industry will Be given employ
ment and opportunities for develop
ment
IN announcing the venture the presi-
dent said
7 have determined that We shall do
something for the nations uncmploy-
Cd youth because We can i'll afford t.
lose the skill and energy Of these
young men and women. They must
have their chance in school, their turn
as apprentices and their opportunity
for jobs chance ID work and earn
for themselves.
According to the presidents orde,
the national youth administration i.
designed to achieve four broad OBJ
jeetives It viii give young persons
work on youth projects, allow them to
finish high school and college, trair
and retain them for private employ
ment, and undertake to secure worE
for them in private industry
The pay schedule provides SIS {
month for youths on work relief, $19
a month for those in college, and $f
a month for those in high school.
One Of the greatest tragedies d
the prolonged business depression i
its destruction Of the morale Of hun
dreds Of thousands Of young peopl,
who on leaving our educational insti
tutions have found themselves barred
from practically all employment
Thousands Of boys and girls have alsc
been compelled to leave school be
cause their jobless parents were un
able to pay schooling costs.
The $50,oo0,oo0 national youth ad
nninistration will remedy much Of thi
distress and impart new morale L
the young.

"the yield on this investment shoule
be high"

They say the world is changing.
Well. some of it is and some of it
just isn't.
One day we read that England is
making an agreement with Germany,
and the next day we read that Eng

can have some Ethiopia for what ails
him.
And the next day we read that Eng
land and France are talking it over
and may decide to understand each
other.
AS usual, the big boys are making
the rules and the decisions.
When the big boys are slicing
things up that way it just isn't safe
to go out alone after dark, unless
you want to get sliced up.
Chicago had its powerful gangs
who ruled that way Peaceable citi-
zens often got mussed up by getting
in the way and lesser gangs got laid
out by going out after dark.
Soft words didn't put Chicago gangs
out of business, insofar as they have
been put out. Mr. Capone, out on
Alcatraz Island, knows that. And a
lot of them, now under the sod or dis
solved in lime, serve as exclamation
points to the story Mr.. Cpaone might
tell If he would.
Democracy works only when it lays
down rules and finds way to EN-
FORCE those rules.
What applies to the democracy of
a nation applies to the world.
Only its worse when in large part
Of the world there is no democracy.
Democracy means rules. Any kind
Of organization means rules. Organi-
zation means curbing the individuals,
holding them to a more ar less COM
mon course
The majority decides that murder
is a crime, on that stealing milk off
the front steps is a misdemeanor. It
fixes punishments for infraction Of the
rules, or laws.
Unions are just like all other or
ganized bodies, political, social, or
what have you.
They have to have rules. Wherever
there are rules there viii be those
that don't like them and that are
bound to break them, or at least to
try it
Then the punishments start to roll
down upon their heads and they
yell about injustice and oppression.
Majorities may and do make mis-
takes, but in democratic organizations
the way to unmake mistakes is by the
same methods using in making them
Too many think unions are just
organizations in which to play around
Too many think they are a big stick
that they are for hitting, but not for
helping, for striking but not for co
operating.
Some think they are for Mussolinis
to be used in slicing up economic
Ethiopias
Well, the biggest job of all for
unions is the job of BUILDING.
Anybody can strike, but it takes
hard work, a long pull, a lot Of patience
and all of labor's brains, to do the
job of cooperating for the building
of better industry.
Striking is just business Of clearing
the road, a sometimes necessary pre-
liminary job
The making of new freedom and
new democracy is its bigger anc
final job.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, July 1.-THE gov
ernment Of President Lazaro Cardenas
inaugurated today an ambitious pro-
gram to improve the social and eco
nomic conditions Of the Mexican
peasant classes.
Instructing the national revolu-
tionary party to form q confederation
Of 100000 farmers who have re-
ceived land from the government, the
President pledged passage of laws to
provide farmers against crop losses
and said that peasants would be pro-
vided with accident and life insurance
Small Holders Protected.
OF the peasant confederation, Car
denas said:
"Formation Of this organization will
In the political order, provide small
landh0lders protection from the grave
injuries caused by sterile personalistic
struggles: In the economic order 1t
Will oef1n1tely free them from the dis
organization and misery in which
they are living; in the social order II
will raise them to an active factor
capable Of obtaining the conquests for
which we have been struggling"
The national revolutionary party
will supervise formation Of the organi-
zation and also will draw up the new
insurance bills. After groups have
been formed in the various states, a
national convention will be held to
formulate definite program.
New Policy Indicated.
The Presidents order was inter-
preted to indicate new policy, con-
centrating on improving the lot of the
farming class, which makes up more
than tw0-thirdS of the country's pop
ulation of $4,000 900, would be pur-
sued by the government, in contrast to
the program Of former President
Plutarco Elias Gales.
Gen. Gales, who retired from poll
tics four weeks ago after a dispute
with Cardenas. supported a program
beneficial to workers and encouraging
to small industry. Although the agra
rian program was not forgotten, there
was no particular effort in behalf OF
the peasants.
