STATE NEEDS LAW

One of the laws the rising legislature should
pass should define precisely the delicate art of
picketing. The law should be passed after consul
tation with union officials as we'll as mill operators
but it should be so framed as to guarantee every
North Caroiinian who wants to work the oppor-
tunity of going to and from his employment with
out mlestation or intimidation.
If union cannot exist without molesting or in
tlmldatlng those who do not agree with it, then it
has no more legal right to exist than mad dog.
Another labor law should protect members of
unions against intimidation or moestation in their
legal activities and should be as vigorously en-
forced as the law guaranteeing the right to work.
Such laws are already basic law but they need
specialized application and Interpretation.
A third law to protect mill workers. especially
union members, should make it a serious INSIDE
meanor Tor any person by false statements to per-
suade any other person to abandon employment.
case after case of this cropped out in the late
textile strike with workers being promised food
and financial air if they would quit their jobs.
They did so only to find they had listened to peo-
pie who did not know what they were talking
about or else had deliberately misled them.
The State of North Carolina owes it to its citi
zens to put an end to this type of fraud-Fayettc-

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
INcURABLY RELIGIOUS

Religion has been abolished in Russia-otflcally.
Year after year. under the Soviet regime, the peo-
piles west of Russia have heard how, IN all the
vast land where formerly there was widespread re-
tlgious observance Christmas has disappeared from
the church calendar of the Russian people-oHl-
cially disappeared.
Yet in actual fact as Harold Denny writes from
Moscow in his correspondence to The New YORK
Times, the 40 churches still permitted to open IN
the Soviet capital were crowded on this last Christ
mas Eve.
Russian young people are quick to embrace Lenins
dictum that religion is simply opiate to soothe
into apathy those suffering political oppression
But Mr.. Denny observed surprising number OF
young people at the services, both newly arrived
peasants and the prosperous looking adsescents Of
Moscow.
After II years of communistc experiment it is
often as bloody and ruthless as Ivan the Terrible
will be able to construct the sort of government
and economic system they have pictured as a mil
lennial state.
And as to the destruction of religious aspiration
among the people, as to success in teaching even
the avid young Communists to be realistic pagans
it is even more doubtful that Lenin and his sue
cessors have changed human nature.
Man is 'incurably religious" said Sabatier 1t

tablished Church, or to North Carolina BaptistS,

THIRTY-HOUR WEEK

one argument brought up in defense of thirty
hour law is that this country has achieved great
increase IN productive efficiency since 1929. The
Brookings report answers this by explaining that
IN manufacturing industry there has been an in
crease IN man-hour productivity of more than 90
per cent, but as manufacturing accounts for only
~ to 20 per cent of the value of the total ma
tlonal output of goods and services, the advance
IN efficiency as whole has been less than 10 per
cent.
thlrty-hour week law would mean reduction
OF 4O per cent in the working hours of wage earn
ers IN the last five years It would mean a de-
crease IN industrial output, and therefore IN vol
ume OF goods and services available to supply the
wants OF the people. The great illusion In the
minds OF those who see means of quick recovery
In further cut in hours is the idea that general
working week of thirty hours would make tor the
Jooless- While it might create 10OO0,0O0r JOBS at
once it would raise the costs of business operation
so that real wages would be lower by reason Oh
much higher prices. ga rigid universal thrty-hour
week, or any other set number OF hours says the
Bookings Institution report, 'fwould put industry
in straitjaeket and reduce efficiency. Inc
immediate effect would unquestionably be to retaro
recovery" It would be one of the terrible tot'leS

THE PACKING INDUSTRY

One of the largest and oldest meat packing es-
Establishments at the Chicago stock yards recently
observed its 50th anniversary. When founded a
half century ago it was little than slaughter
house to serve a rapidly growing city and nearby
communities. Then things began to take place
which inspired the management to embark in new
fields. Capital made Chicago the greatest railroad
center in the world and the packers began to make
wider distribution of their products. Later, re-
frigerator cars built by the railways and the
packers making it possible to ship perishable prod
ucts from Chicago to the remotest parts of the
United States and to foreign countries.
Meantime new uses were found for parts of the
animal carcass which had hitherto been compare
lively valueless. For instance it was discovered
that livers, for which there had been little de-
mand, contained elements which were valuable in
the treatment of anemia. 1t was found that nu-
merous glands possessed that which might be used
in surgery and in the prevention and cure of hu-
man diseases. Then laboratories were added to the
equipment of some packing houses while others
sold parts of carcasses to laboratories located else
where.
Science and invention revolutionzed the bust
ness of meat packing by providing new safe and
fast method of distribution and by the discovery
of important uses for discarded material They
made the great stock yards of this country and
of Chicago in particular, of the wonders of

BEHIND THE SCENES
I'M WASHINGTON
49, ~-s,-,s H.r--,.--->

Although the high hopes or many
of the aged will be dashed. the
Townsend agitation may do some
good. The administration and Con.
gress may consent to a more liberal
old age pension system than they
would have considered If there had
been no DR.. Townsend, even though
they refuse to stand the whole eco
nomic system on its head at the
behest of the doctor and his fol-
lowers.
MO one can he quite sure what
L would happen if the Townsend
plan were adopted, but any econ
omist you meet will assure you II
would be pretty awful.
When it comes TO the sales or
transactions tax designed to finance
the plan, Townsendites seem to
leap about from one figure to an
other and the figures often seem
unreliable.
When the plan seemed to compre'
bend 10: per cent retail sales tax
it was quickly pointed out that,
even on 1929 business, that would
! amount to but fourth Of an esti
mated 100000 year needed
to pay the pensions.
Somebody else carefully figured
out that the plan would mean a ~
per cent tax on everything you
bought and one simple way OF
criticizing the plan is to say il
would take half the present ma
tional income and give it to OF
Q per cent of the population.
:
IT ATELY, DR.. Townsend has been
IL talking in trillions-proposing
ia per cent sales tax on trillion
dollars and more of sales such as
he says we had in 1923 and 1929
When it is claimed that all money
transactions in 1882 totaled only
| $4,000, 100000 and that the tax on
that would bring about a seventh
of the required funds, one is as
sured the tax could be increased or
that there'd be so much business
with the plan in operation that 2
per cent would suffice.
