Dear Sir:
So much speculation appears to
be rife concerning the position of
our organization on the return of
unemployables to other response
bilities, that it occurs to me you
might like some facts from origin
al sources.
Under date of June 7 I held a
conference with the board of sup
erviSorS in Ell Centro at the Bar
bara Worth hotel, concerning un-
employables At that discussion, it
did not appear that our positions
were at great variance, or indeed,
that they were at variance at all.
Subsequent to that meeting, sent
a formal letter to the board of su-
pervisors and each of its members,
copy of which is attached here
with, dated June 10. Subsequent to
the writing of that letter, several
meetings of state supervisors
groups took place At the meeting
held in the Biltmore hotel on June
%, a statement of policy was read
by me, copy of which is also at
tached herewith.
Examination of the record here
in mentioned and included, dis
i closes in no sense an attitude on
! our part as to the dictation of
standards of relief o. Of eligibility,
as these matters affect your board
1t is our desire to acquaint your
E community and the board OF sup
+ erVisoTs with the mandatory ef-
fects of regulations received from
federal and state sources. 1t was
also our desire to be helpful in
/ possibly forecasting funds to take
care for additional burdens indi-
Gated by the facts.
/ I have had the good fortune to
contact a number of your promin-
ent citizens with particular refer
ence to this problem, who have ad-
Vised me that the editors OF I'M
perial Valley would like all of the
data attendant upon the problem
of return of unemployables. Act
ing, therefore, on this assumption,
and on the further assumption that
all the facts have possibly not
reached you, I take pleasure in
giving you such information as ap-
pears lacking. I should be very
happy to supply additional infor-
nation or data should you so de-
sire.
There is aiso attached herewith
copy of the several letters address,
ed to the board Of supervisors con-
+ cerning care of unemployables now
being taken care of by us at the
Federal Transient shelter. The un-
! precedented drought of last year
/ caused us to break all regulations
-, in an attempt to minimize its i'll
effects. Such breach of regulation
and generosity, should not be fol-
lowed by demand for continued
permanence.
We are, of course, always will
ing to cooperate with the com
munities >: attempt to solve the
problem which is entirely distinct,
but Whic his interdependent upon
all agencies ror solution. Would ap-
preciate, however, local commun-
tiles going a fraction Of the way
toward such solution.
Yours,
(Signed) M. II. LEWIS,
Field Representative

Wage Scale High

THE AUTOMOTIVE industry
l. today is paying the highest
wage scale in its history, but
high wages are a corollary of
prosperity; high wages do not
create prosperity, neither do
high wages of themselves accel-
crate recovery from depression.
An inflexible wage scale freezes
a vital factor. The best wage
scale is that which permits the
fullest productivity; the maxi
mum number of jobs; the larg-
est total of wage payments.
That fact we too frequently
forget.
A wage level lower than that
may mean the unjustifiable ex-
plOitation of the worker. A level
higher than that tends to throt-
tie down the industrial machine
fewer jobs-more unemploy-
ment, result.
A fundamental fact almost
universally overlooked is, that
the price at which a worker can
sell his labor, IS LIMITED TO
THE PRICE THAT SOME EN-
PLOYERS CAN AFFORD TO
PAY. Right there lies the rea-
son why some important indus
tries are today stagnant. WE
HAVE HAD TOO MUCH
FREEZING, HENCE WE HAVE
FROZEN The PROCESSES
OF RECOVERY.

Gains Admitted

7 BELIEVE we, in this coun-
l. try, are better off, all
things considered, than we were
two years ago. But we are con-
cerned, and we have occasion
to be gravely concerned, with
many of the policies that we
have periodically accepted. Our
apprehension is not only on
account of those policies them
selves, but their implications for
the future.
1t is perfectly evident that
certain of these measures have
retarded the processes of recov-
cry. Others have accelerated
same in an artificial way and
cannot be continued much
longer.
I am convinced that the
time has long since arrived
when industry and business
should examine what is being
done, with an open mind;
should determine, based upon
It's experience ana judgment,
what measures are right and
what are wrong, and should
speak out fearlessly and with
conviction. The good must be
separated from the bad. Here
is a. distinct responsibility.
There is too much at stake to
ignore that responsibility.
There has been too much Of
one side of the argument. It
is essential that we broaden
the basis of our discussion.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the fashion of today unfortu-
nately appears to discredit
every fundamentally of PRO-
DUCTIV1TY, be it the indi-
vidual or the machine, that
fact should not discourage us.
It should be an added urge

THE statement of our toast
1 master Senator TydingS)
in the Senate last Tuesday
struck such a sympathetic chord
in my thinking that I cannot
refrain from making a few re-
marks in relation thereto.
We, in General Motors, in
common with business and in
dustry in general, have whole
heartedly supported the national
programs of industrial recovery
because of our conviction that
we should uphold the President
in his courageous and sincere ef-
forts to promote better condi-
tionS. That manifestly was the
duty of every one of us.
We put aside our convictions
and our experience and pooled
our efforts with others for the
common objective of common
platform of action. 1t is an OBJ
vious fact that the world de-
preston is a highly involved
economic problem. 1t has never
been satisfactorily diagnosed.
Hence, the remedies are neceS-
sarily obscure and uncertain.
1t seemed reasonable, there
fore, to rely on the fact that,
first, the solution of such a
problem calls for action and,
second, that progress can be
effected by doing the wrong
things, as we'll as doing the
right things. provided we have
the open-mindedness to recog-
ize our experimental errors and
the courage to reverse our posi-
ton. We have had, as matter
of fact, the assurance that that
very thing would be done.

SOUTHERN BLOC
TRIES To HALT
LYNCH BILL
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

A strong group of Southern
Democrats were openly filibuSter-
ing against the Bankhead farm
bill in the Senate today in an eff
fort to block a vote on the Wag.
ner-Costigan anti-lynching bill.
While actually favoring enact
ment of the farm measure, the
Southerners hoped to keep it be-
fore the Senate until the Senate
Finance Committee reports the Ad-
ministration's new NRA bill. The
latter measure probably will be re-
ported Monday. Then, the South
erners will try to persuade the
Senate to take up President RooSe-
velt'S MIRA bill instead OF the anu
lynching measure.
COstigan Waits
This procedure will be followed
for weeks in an effort to postpone
a vote on the lynching bill until
the closing days of the session.
At that time, by threatening to
stage a vicious fulibuSter against
it, the Southerners hope the Sen
ate will abandon the measure en-
tirely.
Senator Costigan CD of Colo
RADIO, co-author of the anti-lynch-
ing bill, was perfectly aware OF the
Southern strategy. He sat IN tne
Senate patiently awaiting an op-
portunity to move consideration OF
his bill, He was Side-tracked
earlier in the week, when he gave
way to the Bankhead bill, belleV-
ing it would be passed in a day or
two.
Instead, Southern debaters i'm
mediately began talking and there
were indications the debate would
not end until another Adminlstra'
ton bill is ready for Senate con-
Sideration.
Used AS a Screen
Senator Robinson, the floor
leader, was not a party to the fill
clustering tactics of the Southern
bloc. He kept the Senate in SEES
sion on Good Friday, although
there we're many precedentS for
a weekend recess. He also an
nounced he would interpose no
objection to a test vote on tn ques-
ton of taking up the Wagner-Cos-
tigan bill.
The Bankaead bill, used as a
screen for the anti-lynching fill
buster. would create a $1,050,.
100000 corporation to extend
loans to farmers and farm
tenants for the purchase Of
farms and outbuildings. Its
author, Senator Bankhead CD
of Alabama, said it would re-
lieve distress among 100000
tenant farmers and share-crop-
pers.
The Wagner ostigan bill would
make local officers liable to
heavy punishment in Federal
courts if any prisoner were
lynched through official neglect
or careleSSneSS.
It also would make county
liable to a civil damage suit OF
$4,000 to $4,000 to be paid the
family of any victim OF g.
lynching.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-04-19

to present the facts as indus
try and business judge same,
relying upon the hope that
demonstrated errors will sooner
or later be recognized and
righted and that common
sense will ultimately prevail.
Business and industry can de-
pend, in the final analysis, upon
the common sense of the people.
If any of us tonight have any
lack of faith in our industrial
future, or believe in the neceS-
Sity of chronic unemployment;
if any have the conviction that
the industrial machine of the
United States is over-expanded,
they will be much interested and
will obtain much satisfaction by
a study of an economic survey
bearing on this subject, recently
issued by the BrookingS Insti-
tute of Washington.
* X x
TT is hard to understand how,
Il confronted with such scien-
tific testimony, and in the face
of what we can see and under
stand from our day-to-day con.
facts. there can be any support
for the theory of scarcity"
which seems to have so hypno-
tized our thinking as to cause it
to be accepted as the keystone
of many of our economic poll
cieS.
Many do not seem to under
stand that PROSPERITY AND
PRODUCTIVITY ARE SYN
ONYMOUS TERMS AND NOT
IN CONFLICT WITH ONE
ANOTHER.
Some imagine that wealth
can be created by destroying
wealth; that prosperity can be
restored by artificial manipu-
lation of price levels; that
wealth is created by paying for
the nonproduction of wealth.
How can there be any accept
ance of the idea that the
amount of work to be per-
formed in this great world of
ours, particularly in this coun-
try, is limited and that it can
not be expanded, and that the
solution of the unemployment
problem is to divide the current
amount of work by the number
of available workers?
should like to say to your
Senator, that industry is much
concerned, and has every right
to be concerned, with certain
proposals now before the Con-
greSs that serve to perpetuate
these and other experiments
some in more aggravated form.
It seems a pity that with the
economic structure of the world
now largely readjusted to such
a degree as to make a sound
economic revival possible, we
must continually inject into the
picture the decelerating in
fluenceS of uncertainty and ap-
prehension.
BY so DOING WE ARE RE-
TARDING, IF NOT ACTUALLY
PREVENTING, WHAT WOULD
OTHERWISE, I AM SURE, BE
A GREAT FORWARD MOVE
MENT OF PRIVATE INIT1A-
TIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE
ENTERPRISE, AND WE MUST
REMEMBER THAT UPON
THAT VERY THING IN THE
FINAL ANALYSIS WE MUST
DEPEND.
In the meantime, billions Of
dollars of additional debt are
being added to an already over
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-04-19

burdeneo debt structure, TAX
ing the nation as a whole, with
an implication with respect to
the future not at all pleasant
to contemplate. With a nation,
as with an individual, the fact
that credit makes borrowing pos
sible is no justification for bor-
rowing and for mortgaging the
generations to come.
THERE is bound to be a day
l. of reckoning sooner or later
1T frequently comes sooner
than later, and even if we are
able to avert a financial catas-
trophe, we are still, THROUGH
THE ADDED BURDEN OF
TAXATION, INCREASING
COSTS AND HENCE REDUC-
ING CONSUMPTION, ADDING
TO UNEMPLOYMENT, AND
RETARDING PROGRESS.
Specifically, I should like to
point out that, in the judgment
of industry, the Wagner bill is
most unfair and most one-sided.
In place of a formula for in
dustrial peace-its alleged pur-
pose-it establishes a founda-
ton for industrial warfare and
at the very time when all
forces should be concentrated on
recovery befort it is too late.
Every employer should well
come the establishment of the
rights of workers to bargain col
lectively but the rules should be
such that the inherent rights of
all parties involved are pro-
tected.
The result of the Wagner bill
would be to promote the ex-
ploitation of the American
worker for the benefit of a COM
paratively few professional labor
leaders responsible only to
themselves by making the
worker pay them a price for his
job through the fundamentally
of a closed shop.
Industry. if it has any appreci-
alton of it's obligations to future
generations, will fight this pro-
posal to the very last.

GOV. SHOLTZ ORDERS
PROBE OF LYNCHING
Demands Justice as Colored Man
Is Hanged for Slashing
Woman.

BY the Associated Press
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. July
20.--An investigation was set in mo-
ton today by Gov. Dave Sholtz to
bring "the guilty ones TO justice" for
the lynching of a colored man.
The victim, Rubin Stacey, 81. had
been accused of slashing a white
woman with a penknife. He was
hanged within sight of her home.
Stacey was taken from six officers
hurrying him to Miami for safe keep
ing within few hours yesterday
after Mrs. Marion Jones identified
him as her knife assailant. Deputy
Sheriff Virgil Wright said about 100
were in the mob.
j. P. Newell, secretary to the Gov
ernor, quoted him as saying he was
ordering an immediate and search
ing investigation of the lynching.
Gov. Sholtz Is in Columbus, Ohio, for
the Elks' convention.
Stacey was arrested yesterday after
a widespread hunt.
Mrs. Jones, 80, mother OF three
children, admitted Stacey to her
home when he asked for a drink Of
water. He seized her by the throat,
Mrs. Jones said, threw her to the
ground and knitted her. The as
sailant finally was frightened away
by her cries.

STUART HEIR DIES
PENNlLESS In WEST
Widow Claims $1,250,000 Held
in Trust Fund Was Destined
for Him.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz, July 20.-The
body Of Robert Stuart Sd, 20, who died
here penniless, lay today in a ceme-
tery plot contributed by a church,
while his widow said a New York
bank held a $1,250000 trust fund
which ultimately would have been his.
His widow, the former Miss Mar
garet Booth Of Atlanta, Ga, said
Stuart was the scion Of a formerly
wealthy New York family and was
the grandson of Robert Stuart, who
once was a partner Of John Jacob
Astor
Mrs. Stuart told of how her hus-
band, within few years, was so beset
with adversely that after a life Of
luxury he was compelled to sell all Of
his belongings and finally go on relief
in California.
They came here Saturday en- route
East. Stuart died of tuberculosis
shortly after their arrival.
Exhibiting kilograms from relatives
and newspaper clippings telling Of
their marriage in Rome, Ga, in Sep
tember, 1881, Mrs. Stuart said shH and
her husband lived in luxury after heir
marriage. With the turn in for, une
she resumed nursing to earn a liv lg.
