the administration, the United Press
says in a copyrighted article.
Congress may be asked to enact
legislation similar to the British law
allowing the govrnment to seize
land forthwith for a drive to put
millions of unemployed to work build
ing model apartments and row
houses in tenement districts of the
larger cities with PWA money.
Administrator Ickes, of the public
works administration, has assigned
attorneys to study means whereby
current statutes could be changed so
the government could start its build
ing program without lengthy, legal
delays or be forced by real estate
spectators to pay excessive prices
for land.

FORCE CHISELERS
TO PAY CLAIMS
NRA Obtains Millions For
Workers to Balance Code
Wage Schedules

California workers received $63, 900
in back wages during November
through efforts of the NRA's two field
Offices in that state, it was reported
to Washington last week.
According to NRA officials, this is
the largest amount of wage restitu
tion reported from any single state
during any one month. 1t represents,
they explained, the difference between
what the workers had received in their
pay envelopes and what they should
have been paid if their bosses had not
"chiseled" on code rates.
Wage restitutions arranged by
NRA field offices in other states have
totaled $1,250,000 since June 16, and
are now averaging about $4,000 a
week.
Total restitutions since the NRA
started have been more than $780,
900, it was said

Cleveland Trade Union
Leader Dies Suddenly

Cleveland, Ohio (ILNS)-Thomas
S. Farrell, secretary of the Cleveland
Federation of Labor and long promi-
nent in the Ohio labor movement, died
suddenly on December 10 at the age
of SIS.
Farrell came here from Springfield,
Mass, in 1899. He attended 25 con-
secutive conventions of the American
Federation of Labor, and was per-
sonal friend of Samuel Gompers and
William Green.
Farrell took leading part in the
strike against the A. & P. stores here,
which resulted in the temporary clos
ing of the stores. The company an
nounced it was withdrawing from the
Cleveland area, but settlement was
finally arranged in negotiations at
Washington, in which Farrell was
prominent.

WHAT NEXT?

A new and improved solar heat
collector, recently exhibited at Pitts
burgh, concentrates sun rays to such
an extent that within 20 minutes it
can develop temperatures in excess of
400 degrees Fahrenheit, or twice the
boiling point of water. The device can
be used for cooking purposes or for
generating steam for power, though
not as yet to supplant fuel for driving
large steam engines.

man beings are War destroys wealth
and yet it has ever enriched the few,
impoverished the many and wrecked
the economic machinery War debts
are largely made up of swollen prof
its, profits derived from the restruc-
ton of wealth. Thus these profits not
only impede the efficient waging of
war but become barrier to recovery
from war. No man takes profit from
saving life; no man should profit
from saving his country"
There are five essential changes
necessary in the old system of "in-
ternational anarchy" if we are to es-
tablish enduring peace, says Walter
r. Smith, ex-chairman of the British
labor party, in an article in Labour,
official organ of the British Trades
Union Congress.
The changes he outlines are:
1--WE must give up the old idea that
the interests of different nations are
in inevitable conflict.
"We must get rid of armament com
petition.
eve must eliminate the profit from
war.
There must be agreed measures
for dealing with aggression.

WAGE
Resolutions Under NRA
Estimated at Over
S2,500,000

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Wage
restitutions arranged by NRA field
offices have totaled more than 81 ,250,-
900 since June 16, 1884, when central
assembling of statistics was inaug-
urated, and are now averaging about
STE, 900 a week, NRA headquarters in
Washington reports. These amounts
represent the difference between what
the workers had received in their pay
envelopes and what they should have
received under NRA codes.
Each of the Sd offices has reported
some success in restoring wages due
workers. The largest amounts have
been reported from Pennsylvania,
SLIT 900, and from Texas and Ohio,
both of which report restitutions of
more than 100000 in the last six
months.
The total in the first year of NRA
is estimated at $1,000,000, and au-
thenticated reports from code authori-
ties bring the total of all reported
wage restitutions under NRA to more
than $2,500,oO0.
California workers received $4,000
in wage restitutions arranged by two
NRA field offices in the state during
November. This is the largest amount
of wage restitution reported from any
one state in any one month. The
amount does not include restitutions
arranged by other government ol
code authorities.

PLANS FOR PLANT BETTER
MENTS

Responding to inquiries made by
Federal Housing Administrator James
A. Moffett, a group of large industrial
concerns have reported that they are
planning, or have in operation plans
for plant betterments and replace
ment that will mean cash expendi-
lures approaching total of half a
billion dollars during the year 1885.
Administrator Moffett revealed these
figures in formal statement.
These planned expenditures are
either new or large increases over
similar expenditures made during
1884, and in some instances for the
past several years. The figures do
not include the usual expenditures for
necessary repairs to plants and
equipment; they are solely for better
ment and replacement.
Two weeks ago Administrator Mof-
fett announced, in an address before
the New York Advertising Club, that
these concerns have told him of plans
for spending $313, 100000 on such
| work during the coming year. He list
ed them as: American Telephone &
Telegraph Company, $200,000,000
United States Steel Corporation
$40,000,o00, and the Standard Oil Co
of New Jersey, $73 100000.
| Since that time other firms have
sent word to Mr.. Moffett that THEN
betterment and replacement pro.
grams will mean an immediate start
on work that will involve expendi
lures of nearly $100,O00,000 addi
tional.
These latter concerns and the pro
grams planned are:
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, $25,
600, 900;
Three corporations of the oil in
dustry, an indicated total of S137,
100000, Of which total approximate.
| $40, 100000 was included in the fig
ures lately given OUT;
American Radiator Co. and Stand
ard Supply Co., S5,00o,0o0, thi
amount representing new expendi
lures.
Industry is showing more and NOR
tendency to cooperate with and tax
advantage Of the stimulation of tn
durable goods industry, and prelimi
nary replies from other great concern
indicate that industry generally
laying plans now for emulating firm
that have already set their program
and furnished Administrator Moffei
with their figures on betterment an
requirements to their plants. Thes
figures will be announced from tim
to time as they are reported.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
War profits are again news" Re-
cent revelations of the senate COM
mittee investigating the munitions in
dustry, President Roosevelt's plan for
taking the profits out of war and dis
cussion of war profits in the press,
over the radio and on the platform,
have brought the subject to the fore
Will anything be done about ending
or even restricting war profits? Such
a source of huge gain as the traffic
in munitions of war will not be given
up without struggle by those who
benefit, it is sure. The subject newt
ably brings consideration by the
thoughtful person of what might be
done with the money spent on war and
its preparation-how the tremendous
sums made on furnishing weapons of
death might benefit mankind if other
wise employed. What incalculable
good the money might accomplish in
furthering education, health and gen
eral happiness and well being! 1t
brings to mind THE Appeal at Spring
field" by Henry Wadsworth Longfel-
low, poet not read as much nova
days as once. In particular one verse
is pertinent to the costs and profits
of war. 1t is:
We're half the power that fills the
world with terror,
We're half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind
from error,
There were no need of arsenals
and forts.
Though there may be doubt as to
whether the president will succeed in
taking the profits out of war, there is
no doubt that his proposal has struck
a popular chord. The public finds no
satisfaction in these times in reading
of the big profits that went to the few
in war time. Even business has been
forced to at least outwardly approve
the presidents proposal. Thus the
Magazine of Wall Street strongly en-
dorses the proposal in an editorial
which states number Of truths that
need emphasis.
There will be no disagreement
with the presidents plan for taking
the profits out of war;" says the pub
lication. "The time to do it is now
and not after war comes, if ever il
does. The idea has been talked about
ever since the World War started

A GOOD DECISION

Solicitor Karl Crowley, of the post
office department, recently made
most commendable decision and one
both fair and humane, when he de-
clared that operators with contracts
for carrying air mail must pay pilots
the wage scale set under decisions of
the National Labor Board.
The solicitor quoted President
Roosevelt's letter to the chairman of
the committee on post roads when the
air mail was considered. The presi-
dent wrote:
Public safety calls for pilots of
high character and great skill. The
occupation is hazardous one. There
fore the law should provide for a
method to fix minimum flying hours,
minimum pay and a system of retire
ment and annuity benefits
With this sound pronouncement
before him the solicitor declared that
the industry should avoid the posi-
bility of leaving labor costs matter
of speculation in fixing bids by ail
mail operators. The solicitor left the
contractors the alternative of paying
the wage scale or having their con-
tracts cancelled.

 ing in O'DOnnell's Hall
WASHINGTON HILL

The largest gathering of workers to ever assemble for the f4th dis
 trict met last night at O'Donnell's hall on Washington street and
 heard Mayor Frank Hayes and other candidates on the democrat ticket assail their opponents for
 the mud slinging campaign they are using in an attempt to oust
 the present office holders in the city hall. +
 Terrence 5Coughlin, chairman of
 the district opened the meeting
 and then turned it over to Pat rick McFadden, who acted as chairman for the evening and ;in- troduced the speakers. s. 1T Mayor Hayes opening remarks to the gathering was that he was proud to stand in the same hall that two of the finest democrats that ever lived on Washington Hill stood and address the gather ing, and referred to the late Mar tin Scully and Patrick McFadden.
 He then told that on entering the hall he had looked around thoroughly to see the filthy con- ditions of the building that the re- publicans of Hopeville have been yelping about. He expressed the opinion that the hall was entirely suitable for Q polling place.
 Continuing the mayor told that in the campaign to date by his opponents he has been accused of
 everything but the Kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. The opposi- | lAv hna v1A h. sut
 out to put the present office hold
 CTS in the city hall out and are not
 figuring on saving money for the
 taxpayers. Their cry is clean out the city hall. The party four years ago went looking for young
 man to run for city clerk on their ticket and they made no mistake
 when they picked John Fitzmaur-
 ice for the office. The mayor asked for the support of the entire ticket and especially for Fitzmaur- ice who is being opposed by two candidates who also hall from Washington Hill. Dan Leary was not present last
 night due to illness but the mayor
 said he would be on the Hill
