Italy Fights War
With u. S. Money

To the Editor Of The Times:
I read in today'S Times that
both England and Ethiopia had
appealed to the United States to
use its good offices in an effort
to prevent the pending Italian
war upon Ethiopia.
I quite agree with the policy of
America minding its own business
where European affairs are con.
cerned, and keeping out OF foreign
entanglements, but at this time,
in this particular case, I think
America would be quite justified
in taking q step for peace. We,
as lovers of peace and freedom,
must, whenever the opportunity
presents itself, demonstrate to the
world that we not only speak and
write those words but mean them.
We must bear in mind that,
according to press reports, Italy
has been producing war materials
for the past nine months at top
speed. We should also be mind
full of the fact that this same
Italy failed to pay the debt in
stalment due the U. S. while
funds were apparently plentiful
for the fabrication Of weapons
of destruction. All the European
nations defaulting on their debt
payments still can find plenty Of
money for war materials.
It surely must gall overtaxed
Americans to realize these facts.
believe we ought to bring every
pressure possible to bear upon
Italy and thus prevent a war
upon Ethiopia, a war that is
bound to have far-reaching eff
fects, and which might eventually
affect us. Let us wage war
against all wars, especially when
our money IS being used to help
finance them.

Death Toll Mounts;

To the Editor of the Times:

the longest kind of time and not

this country. I am referring to
Washington. D. c. in particular.
read in the newspaper that
the District health officer, DR..
George c. Rutland, has asked for
an increase in his department to
help combat tuberculosis. The
death rate in Washington from
this disease is tremendous. Last
year Washington stood third in
the death rate caused by this
disease. This year it has jumped
up to second place and that surely
isn't a compliment to the Nations
Capital.
And Congress sits and does
nothing about it.

Feeding Baby
Not Undignified

To the Editor Of The Times:
Congress should be ashamed of
itself to allow any mother with a
hungry baby to be ordered out of
the Capitol because she fed it. I
don't see that she did anything
very undignified. The baby was
hungry and had to be fed.
If Mrs. Parker had been the
daughter or wife of a Senator, the
members of Congress would not
have crushed her heart, as they
did by ordering her out Of the
Capitol.
All the Senators had mothers.
I wonder how they would feel to
have their mothers or wives put
out of a public place.
Mrs. Parker's child is as dear
to her as a kings child is to him.

Sunday Shows Favored

The ruling stipulated that all actors

session of the state legislature. The
double pay requirement was favored
by 1928 per cent of the members of
the two groups. Refusal to play on
Sundays under any circumstances was

THE UNION LABEL
By N. B. MAXWELL, Secretary

By N. B. MAXWELL, Secretary
Birmingham Trades Council
You're union man, take it,
For you pay your union dues;
But, my friend, is there label
OF a union in your shoes?
Do you see the union label
On tobacco that you buy?
Or upon your daily paper?
You can get one if you try.
Is label in the pocket
OF the suit upon your back?
A label on your collar
Or Chinese spider track?
Do you find the union label
In the sweatband of your hat?
Look and see if you can find it?
Did you ever think Of that?
How about the union label
On the broom that you wife swings
How about it on your table,
And on thousand other things?
There's a moral in this poem,
You can find it if you try;
If at first you fail to see it
Ask yourself the reason why.
