of the government to furnish the Smiths with all
the things which would lift them out of the under
privileged class Even if it did, they would be back
in the same plight in less than II months.
We do not mean to say that the farm Is the
only place where the underprivileged are found.
They are in industrial villages, in the sums of great
cities, and in every part of the world. But we 90
say chat the underprivlleged are more responsible

We are not condemning the Methodist leaders

exists, but we are asking them to speak more clear

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
UNDERPRivILEGED TO THE FRONT

During the past few years the word underprvi-
legged has been used millions of times. Generally
it refers to that large number of persons who have
had rather difficult time in weathering the de-
preston, many of whom have been forced to call
on the government for food and clothing in order
to sustain life. That there are millions of under
privileged folks in this country is al admitted fae:
but we ere not inclined to become disturbed over
the situation for there are too many of us in this
class. But we do want to discuss the matter in
order to clear up the fog that surrounds the class
of folks which this word is ordinarily used to desp

WHAT SENATOR GLASS DID

One thing that Senator Carter Glass says he in
stinctively knew and never had to spend moment
learning is this:
'That the public man who permits himself to
pause long enough to inquire whether given pol
icy is popular unpopular, instead of seeking to
know whether it is right or wrong is not only use
less but dangerous to his country. He is coward
to begin with and menace always"
In Washington last spring, United States SEN
ator said he could hardly make up his mind whether
to swim with the current, pitch in and ride along
with his party leadership, even though its policies
were contrary to his Judgment, or draw away and
follow his own convictions and be senator of the
United States instead of Democratic senator.
When his friend suggested that it would be far
the more satisfying course to follow to obey the
mandates of his principles and convictions and
let the other procedure go hang, he instantly re-
piled that such "woud mean my defeat

cryptic but penetrating inquiry:

BEHIND TIE SCENES

aY RODNEY BUTCHER,

'or L.. Inc IeQeraCIon'S COnsulu-
ton guarantees them full control
over their internal affairs and
jurisdiction over all workmen en-
gagged in the craft or occupation
covered by their organization.
When the wave Of labor organiza.
ton stimulated by NRA began, the
federation threw newly organized
groups in the mass production and
other industries into federal
unions" which are industrial
unions in character. Then the
craft unions proceeded to raid
them.
ITO the craft union policy Lewis
l. has charged the fact that after
SIS years of activity and effort, the
federation has enrolled no more
than 100000 among a possible
25,OO0,OOO to S5,OOO,OO0 workers.
And the fact that although the A.
F. of l.. claims 1904 new local and
federal unions organized in the
last two years, only 272 were or.
ganized last year by the fedora
TONS 1850 organizers, whereas 5S6
of the new unions have disap-
peared, leaving a net mortality for
last year of 314.

DoUR MEMORIES WHEN BLUE AND
GRAY MEET
nv BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATION)
s"There might be some fights, but wen
have a lot of fun
So says Gen. Harry Rene Lee, command
ar-in-chief of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, in regard to the proposed JOINT re-
union Of former Confederate and Union
soldiers lat Gettysburg in 1888.
That year, 1885, will be the 18th amt
varsarv of the great Civil War battle. 10
commemorate it, the governor OF Pennsyi-
vania has invited the United Confederate
Veterans and the Grand Army OF the he
public to hold encampments at Gettysburg
at the same time. Both organizations have
accepted. ..
For MANY wears, well-intentiOned people
north and south of the Mason and Dixon
line have made efforts to bring about
Joint meeting of the two groups. All such
. efforts heretofore have failed, and even
this 1888 affair won't actually be joint
meting-as General Lee says, We'll JUST
hold our meeting at the same place the
Union soldiers hold theirs
The difficulty in bringing about such
reunion is a reminder that that dreadful
war, fought so long ago, is still reality to
the men who did the fighting.
We have prettied that war up, in our
imagination, just as all people do with all
wars. We have romanticized it, and made
it an affair of bright uniforms and gallant
young men and pretty girls in hoopskirts
and honeysuckle twining up the white pill
lars of southern manor houses.
1t is stuff for movies and romantic nov
els, nowadays, and we who were born SO
long after the last shot was fired slip into
the habit of looking back at it much as a
CRAVING college alumnus looks back at
tabled football game of long ago.
But the men who did the fighting have
another viewpoint, and it doesn't hurt us
to be reminded of it. ,
The Civil War wasn't fought just for
fun. The bright uniforms got soiled and
torn the gallant young men had moments
in " ..Ich they were everlastingly sick o.
the whole thing, the pretty girls grew hag-
gard and thin with anxiety, and a good
many of those picturesque white pillars
were destroyed by fire, honeysuckle and
all.
These old men who will gather at Get
tysburg in 1888 were young and tough, rs
years ago, and they were out to kill one
another; and it's hardly surprising if they
haven't forgotten.
1t will be fine thing for the country as
a whole to have these two groups of veter-
ans fraternizing at last. At the same time
we might as we'll remember that their fra
termination is not a memento of football
game. They can meet now on a friendly
basis, but they have their memories.

WTASHINGTON.-The big split in
w the American Federation of
Labor between the industrial union
lists and the craft unionists Can
stand a bit of explanation. &
An industrial union-sometimes
called a vertical union is one
which takes into its membership
all workers in any given industry.
A craft union-sometimes called
q horizontal UNIONS one which
embraces workers doing a certain
Job, which means that there may
be five or a dozen unions repre-
sented in a given plant.
The belief of President John l..
Lewis of the mine workers and
other labor leaders supporting the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation which Lewis heads is that
only Industrial unionism is ca
paDle of organizing the mass pro-
duction industries and so assuring
progress for the American labor
movement.
Furthermore, it is charged that

 The offer is acceptable to Hoff- man if Rothenburg pays $30,O00 in advance in New York, deposits $50,000 in an American bank 10 days before the bout, and pays the remainder after the bout. Hoffman has wired Rothenburg to come to New York to close the deal.

Asbury Park, N. J., June 10.- (UP)-Max Baer will not put on the gloves again until he meets James J. Braddock in their heavy weight title bout Thursday night. The champion completed his box ing yesterday when he engaged in an eight-round workout, using his right hand frequently during two rounds against Eddie Haughton. Baer has used his right very little in training because of an injury suffered in an exhibition bout against Eddie Simms in Cleveland.
 There is a slight chance that Baer's right hand may be "doc- tored" before he goes into the ring against Braddock. Baer will weigh about 210.
 Baer will remain here until the day of the bout. engaging in regu- lar exercises.
