who recently resigned as federal
Judge for the Louisville district. As
the basis of the petition for the in
junction Mr.. Dawson alleged the un-
constitutionality of the Ashurst-
Summers act, passed by the recent
session of congress, making it unlaw-
full to transport prison made goods
into states that have established the
state-use system. He asserted the
act deprives the shirt company of
property, including the right to do
business, without the "due process of
law" prescribed by the fifth amend
ment to the, constitution.
United States District Attorney
Horace Frierson defended the act as
a valid exercise of the powers dele
gated to congress

evil products and it is evil to permit
the sale of prison-made goods in COM

of prison who have to earn living.

FIRST HOUSES :

First house, first New Deal expert
ment in slum clearance in New York,
was dedicated December 3. 1t is a
project Of the New York housing au-
thority; and was built by government
loans and relief labor.
They told US we couldn't build
with relief labor" said Langdon
Post, head Of the housing authority,
but we did" There are plenty Of
headaches and heartaches in those
bricks (pointing to the building) but
we have done it."
There might be less headaches and
heartache in the rehousing of America
if we took leaf out of the experience
Of Britain. The essence of the British
law on slum clearance has been told
before; but is worth telling again and
again. The local authorities, after
hearings, have power to declare any
area a slum. When that declaration is
made, all Improvements" on the land
lose all value, except for salvage.
The government clears the area. If
the salvage is more than the cost, the
landlord gets a check for the differ
ence. If the salvage brings less than
the cost, the landlord writes check
for the difference in that direction
The land is appraised for It's value
for low-cost housing; and no specu-
lative prices for other purposes are
allowed.
England's climb, not complete but
remarkable, has been made very
largely by the home building route.
Getting rid of the speculative profits
in land, home building on a large
scale becomes possible.
Not more than one-third of the
families of this country are housed
properly, according to American
standards of living. A little of the
work of rehousing has been done dur
ing the past year and probably has
accomplished more than anything
else in improving business. But
though progress is being made, it is
too slow and too costly; for the land
lords and the corporations which con-
troll building materials and stand in
the way and collect their bill.
We shall never, as a people, be
properly housed until all obstacles
are stripped away. Wisdom has been
defined as the faculty Of learning
from the experience of others. That
should be as true of nations as of
individuals In the matter of hous-
ing, it is high time that we as a peo-
pie were getting wise.'

WISDOM

Strength of character consists of
two things-power of will and power
of self-restraint. 1t requires, there
fore, for its existence, strong feel
ings and strong command over them.

ONE REASON FOR Low WAGES

In 1884, nine officials of General
Motors collected $1,255, ,558 in salaries
and bonuses. William S. Knudsen,
who had the distinction some years
ago of being fired by Ford, was top
man in G. NJ, getting total of
s211,128, of which $4,000 was
straight salary.
In the same year, wages of General
Motors certainly averaged less than
$1,000 a year. That is to say, nine
officials cost the company as much
as ,255 workers.

That is a picture of the lives of
unskilled American workers shortly
after the Revolution, in 1884 Just
why men in such case should fight for
liberty is rather hard to imagine.
Some Of them did it, however; per-
haps it is another case of the triumph
of hope over experience, as the
French say of second marriage.
And this grim picture is drawn by
John Bach McMaster; headed,
tireless and usually accurate histor-
ian; who put down in his chronicles
phases of life which more dainty re-
corders passed by on the other side.
The modern unskilled American
workman-before the depression came
had considerably better standard
of living than his ancestors did in
1884. But it is easy to exaggerate
the gain-and to whom does the
worker owe that gain, such as it is
To the philanthropy of his masters !?
Say rather of his masters neighbors;
but the improvement which springs
from that source is not spacious.
To the opening of the west, which
gave the poor chance to get land !?
That was worth much, though many
Of the good results it would have
brought otherwise were offset by i'm
migration.
To the development of science in
industry? Again one must admit that
this had some effect. Silence enabled
the worker to make so many things
that the boss couldn't take all of them
away-except under certain circum-
stances.
But all these uplifting" forces left
