VARVELLI UPHELD
 IN VERDICT HERE
Judgment For Bartender to Recover Costs in
 Recent Fight

a Z
 Issues in favor of the defend ant are found in a descision of Judge Edward J. Finn in the as- sault and battery suit of Emil Dionne against CleIio varvelli. which was tried this week in the common pleas court. Dionne claimed he was assaulted by the bartender and owner in the de- fendant's restaurant, September 22, 1884.
 Judge Finn says the case re- volved about who was telling the truth, with the burden of proof resting on the plaintiff. This type of case" says Judge Finn, makes 1t extremely difficult, if not irn- possible, to choose between the stories told. The parties, place and the matter involved, afford little choice in the placing of re- liance upon either version of the battle. Certainly cannot say ] believe a fair preponderance of evidence is in Dionne's favor. The evidence is in equipose. Whether the plaintiff started the row and was cut by the broken glass in the showcase which he helped to break, or whether he was beaten because he dared ask for his proper change, cannot decide Nothing was proved except the fact of battle and the extent of the plaintiffs injuries. The plaintifl has failed to meet his burden ol proof and judgment, therefore, must be entered for the defendant tc recover his costs"
 Attorney William K. Lawlor ap' peared for the plaintiff. Mascolo. Mcknight and Dauch represented the defendant.

PEOPLE MUST PRODUCE
GOODS FOR CONSUMPTION

BY H. L. Seegar.
There is a very definite connec-
ton between the Federal relief dole
program for our unemployed mil
lions and the hoped-for industrial
recovery.
The relief program can be the
means OF reviving employment in
private industry to its full capacity,
or it can be the means Of destroy
ing all possibility of recovery. We
are always talking about the time
when industry will be more normal.
This will come when we make it
come. 1t will not come by waiting
on it to come through some magic.
We are responsible for the present
conditions. They are the direct re-
suit Of the policy we are pursuing.
We are just playing the boob as far
as making intelligent effort is con-
cerned, to change from this wlshful
waiting to practical methods. Our
ideas will have to put on overalls.
This problem is not one, as many
would have us think, of catching the
lucky ring. The problem Of relief
is the result of very decided I'M
der-consumption on the part OF the
unemployed and those on part-time
work or low wages. Expecting these
people to provide the needed orders

Bonus Term Is Erroneous

BY G. NJ. Cowgirl.
I protest the use of the word
"bonus" by the press, when speak
ing of the adjusted service Ger
tif1cates.
This is misleading and unjust,
for this back pay for the veteran
is in no sense a bonus, but adj
justed pay for services rendered.
The public is led to believe that
the so-called bonus is a gift. In
1924, the Congress of the United
States passed the Adjusted Com
pensation Act, officially admitting
that a debt was due to the World
War veteran in recognition of his
sacrifices.
1t was agreed that Uncle Sam
would compensate the veteran on
an equal basis for his time and
laborS while in the service, with
the lowest wage Garner who re-
manned at home.
At home, the lowest paid Ia
borers received 50 a day during
the same period. Men in training
camps and at the front received
approximately 81 a day each day
during the World War. And the
government spent that for them.
Each man was compelled TO make

$3.50 A WEEK

IN the NRA Research and Planning Divi-
sion report are numerous statements, charts
and tables tending to prove that hour and
wage provisions Of NRA codes have especially
benefited iow-wage workers, particularly
women workers and more particularly those
in the South.
These conclusions seem strange beside
charges Of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People that 10000
Negro women workers in Southern laundres
are doomed to slave wages of IA cents an
hour, and usually less" The association wants
the NRA to conduct study of the adequacy
of the accent hourly wage in the Southern
laundry CODE
At Il cents an hour for 40 hours, the weekly
wage is $3.50. which can not be considered
adequate in any part of America.
These underpaid Negro women" the asso-
citation says, ARE in many instances the sole
support of their families"
Wage diferentials which impose much low
er living standards upon the workers of one
sex or Of one section Of the country are all the
more indefensible when they bear down upon
one race.

HONEST MERCHANT MARINE

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT properly de-
Il clares that the United States should have
an adequate merchant marine TO serve the
needs Of our ocean commerce and supplement
the means OF our defense.
He is right also. We believe. in saying that
government subsidies are necessary to make
W the difference between American and for
eign shipping costs.
And he Is both right and courageous in
saying that whatever subsidies are granted
should be open and frank subsidies.
The President did not exaggerate in his
DESCRIPTION Of the abuses which have crept
into Our shipping system under the disguised
subsidies IN exorbitant ocean mail contracts
and low-Interest government loans.
some Of these abuses have 10 do with
the improper operating Of subsidiary companies,
the payment Of excessive salaries, the engag-
ing in business not directly part Of ship
ping and other abuses which have made for
poor management. improper use OF profits and
scattered efforts" the President said.
He might easily have added a long bill Of
particulars. outlining the legalized racket that
became too common in the management of
more interest in pocketing subsidies than in
building up an efficient shipping service. He
might have mentioned the violations of our
scamcns laws and the defiance Of safety regu-
lati0ns
But il is one thing to expose these abuses
and quite another to correct them. The real
test VIII come IN writing law and setting up
the government machinery to prevent a re-
currence Of these practices.
The President wisely suggests that the
quasi-judicial functions Of the shipping board
be transferred 10 the interstate commerce COM
mission But he failed TO designate the agency
to control subsidies. Either ICC or some
other agency with its tradition of probity
should have the power to see that the tax
payers money actually gets into the build
ing and operation of ships.

81 years for salary for services
rendered, I, for one, would like to
see the color of his hair.
Some of them have the intesti-
nal fortitude to say that a veteran
who has fought for his country
must declare himself pauper be-
fore he can get his wages.

And the epitaph drear: "A fool lies here
who tried to hustle the East"
No fool is Praiadhipok Of Siam. who has
abdicated quietly in a lodge in Surrey, Eng
land. but apparently he paid the price of
Westernizing his kingdom at too fast pace.
He his brother and his father, the last
three Siamese kings. modernized Siam in two
generations almost. They abolished slavery,
polygamy. much superstition. They built good
roads. pure water works. postal and telegraph
systems. They established compulsory educa-
ton. rural credits a metric system, conserva-
ton and health measures They made Siam
the most modern nation Of the Orient Japan
excepted.
But when Prajadhipok tried to introduce
democracy into his government he found
privilege too strong for him.
Three years ago Col. Phyia BahoI seized
power through a military coup. The army
clique invited the little king to rule as a con-
stitutOnaI misunderstanding their puppet
He agreed provided they would let the people
have real power. He laid down nine condi-

prisoners. and other liberal measures. Col.
