EDITORIAL
Public attention

Public attention is now focused
on the labor situation. The basic
wage for the field Iaborer has been
the subject of negotiations betw cen the
employers and the 81. Croix Labor Union
for months and ia no nearer a solution
than when negotiations were started.
In reaIitv the situation is becoming
more complex. Hitherto there was one
agricultural union and as discussions
progressed it was possible to form some
opinion as to the fihal outcome.
Today there is one labor organization.
the St. Croix Labor Unioh, which is
recognized by the employers. Another
institution is being formed with
Mr.. Morris Davis at the head From
notices published in the newspapers the
new labor union has affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. To what
extent this new union will influence the
labor situation we can not forecast as we
do not know the strength Of the organi-
cation. All we do know is that those
connected with it have been advised to
support the leaders in their demand for
a minimum wage ct Is cents day. The
Labor Unions demand is for a mini
mum of 60 cents day.
The situation is complex because if, and
when the Labor Union enters an agree
ment for so cents a day there is no
guarantee that the workers will accept
it, when another group assures them
that it can get more.
The present unrest and all that may
follow can be traced directly to the Gov.
ernment's attempt to run all business
and introduce system where handful
of men will live in ease and luxury while
all the rest of the people will be reduced
to mere vassals.
When men are to be forced to live
under a system which throttes their
inItativeand limits their aspiration in life
it is only the cruel hand of the dicta-
tor that forces them to accept the new

BACK TO COLD,
HOOVER URGES
Return to Standard Seen
Necessary by Former
President.
Copyright. 1885. by United Press

Copyright. 1885. by United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The United
States should Immediately return to
the gold standard, former President
Hoover said in a statement to the
United Press.
Commenting on the Supreme
Court decisions in the gold cases,
Mr.. Hoover saw an opportunity to
restore confidence" in the dollar
He advocated a bullion gold STAN
dard whereby the present dollar
would be equivalent to SO cents of
gold al the old value.
This, he said, would be a needed
contribution" to real recovery"
I have now had opportunity to
read the Supreme Court decision"
he said. Apparently all members
of the court agreed that the govern
ment acted unconstitutionally in re-
pudiation of the covenant of its own
bonds. A majority of the members
concluded that the citizen has no
remedy. That will have long moral
consequences. But whatever the
morals or right or wrong OF the de
valuation may be, the face of the
American people must be forward.
The need and the opportunity
now is to restore confidence in the
dollar. All threat. actual or poten-
tial, of further devaluation should
now be removed. To do this and to
give a needed contribution to real
recovery, the dollar should imme-
diately be made convertible at the
present 59-cent of geld, making it
payable in gold bullion-the modern
method of specie payment. There
is no need to wait on foreign ma
tionS before we re-eStabliSh the
gold standard and restore confidence
in our currency. They would be
bound to follow some time. They
are far more afraid of our doing just
this than they are of any American
managed currency at which game
they have us at a disadvantage.

Still under the impetus of the
breeze, the fire leaped across the
street and burned the roofs from
the homes of Lyman T. Clark, 1920
Ludlow-av, and John Goch, 152012
Ludlow-av.

to save their furniture.
The neighborhood was filled with
heightened, half clad residents, who
lined the streets fearful that their
own homes might fall in the path
of the raging fire.
Battalion Chief Carl Sims was
injured while fighting the flames in
the lumber yard by a piece Of fall
ing corrugated metal. He suffered
a cut foot and was treated at the
scene.
The entire yard, with the eXcep-
ton of the Office and another small
building, was swept by the blaze.
Lumber and equipment were badly
damaged.
Company authorities believed that
the first fire in the small pile of
lumber was caused by sparks from
a passing Big -Four engine.

Special Session Likely

Prospects for a 45-day recess in
the session of the Indiana General
Assembly today were developing in
to the possibility of an extra es-
sion in the late spring or early
summer.
Although the proposal for recess
has not been definitely abandoned,
many legislative leaders believe
such an action would be unconsti-
tutional.
Meanwhile, Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz
Jr., is studying legal aspects Of the
situation and will not finish his
opinion on the possibility Of re-
cess for several days.
Aside from the constitutionality
difficulty, it was learned many MEM
bers Of both houses are opposed to
a recess and might not vote for one,
even at the administrations request.
Gov. Paul V. McNutt has ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to
an EXPRESSION session and bent or
doing anything possible to avoid
one.
However, there is no prospect at
present that Congress will complete
the Federal social welfare program
by March II, when the Assembly
must adjourn, sine die, so a recess
or special session appears inevitable
