Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLs.
Clear Thinking.

N1edI &u1UhluSs
What is clear thinking and how
can it be attained? The vast
bulk of human thinking takes place
on the emotional level. That's why
we make so many mistakes in judg-
ment.
The first step in the direction Of
clear thinking is to look at your
problems in an objective way. The
habit can easily be formed. Once
formed, your thinking apparatus will
work automatically.
The next step is to suspend your
judgments for a while. If you are
dealing with an entirely new problem,
better take plenty Of time. Ask your
self what might possibly be wrong with
the conclusion you have reached. As
sumo the attitude that you are willing
to accept any conclusion for the time
being. In this way you get the habit
Of reasoning your way out instead OF
merely wishing.
The third step is to consider your
wishes carefully. Very few persons
realize how completely their wishes
dominate their thoughts. Wishes are
always optimiStically toned, while the
plain facts of reality are just as often
something else. Unless you are willing
to criticize your wishes your conclu-
sions will stack up about so per cent
correct.
Another good way to promote clear
thinking is to 60 back over the con-
clusions of each days thinking. Get
the habit of taking stock of your
decisions from time to time.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Shoddy.

SHODDY is today used metaphor
- ically in the sense Of something
which is sham and pretense. Thus
we speak of a shoddy character, a
shoddy aristocracy, even a shoddy
automobile.
The last application is particularly
interesting as indicating how far afield
words occasionally travel, once we
begin going figurative.
Etymologically. shoddy comes from
shed, meaning cast of. 1t arose in
this way:
Cloth, in the process of weaving,
sheds a flue and fluff. This would
be mixed with heterogeneous mass
of other flbrous material obtained
through the deviling or tearing into
threads of all sorts Of unwanted woolen
goods such as discarded hose, blankets
and the like. All this would be woven
into an inferior material which was
termed shoddy. Out of it, all manner
of things would be made in large
quantities.
In this manner the word achieved
wide currency. eventually being ap-
piled to almost anything which looked
like, and essayed to be. but was not
the genuine article.

Sarajevo, old Bosnia Serai, the an
cient capital of Turkish Bosnia, In
modern Yugoslavia, is a gay city of
minarets and embellished steeples.
Jews, Turks, Greeks, Slavs and GypsieS
inhabit the city and the manufactures

WHY WE HELP

The labor press Of America and
international Labor News Service
were asked by the Tobacco Workers
international Union to join the fight
to save the 1o-cent cigarette.
There could be but one question:
We join.
Until the cigarette tax is equalized
to be fair to the l0-cent cigarette, the
labor press will fight on for that pur-
pose.
The 1o-cent cigarette is always a
union-made product.
The Big Four, top heavy with fab
ulously swollen profits, makes no 10
cent cigarettes. The Big Four, fat
with profits that have rolled in dur
ing all the long years Of hunger and
depression, wants the present unjust
tax to remain. The Big Four want
the 10-cent cigarette killed; they want
ALL competition killed.
Labor wants justice for the dime
cigarette The labor press wants JUS
tice for the dime cigarette.

Mr.. DAWES PREDICTS
END OF DEPRESSION

Charles G. Dawes. known in Chicago
as the man who borrowed $90,oOO,0Oo
Of public money from the RFC, says
that the depression will be over in two
months.
That sounds like a large order.
There were on federal relief in Janu-
ary 4, 533,84o families. Counting four
persons to a family, this means 49,
135,360 people dependent on the ma
tional government for living.
Does Mr.. Dawes mean to say that
the millions Of these destitute who are
still employable can be put to work
and those who cannot be given tasks
at the industrial machine can be as
sured of decent security-all in two
months? ? The labors of Hercules, roll
ed together and multiplied fifty fold,
would not be start at such task.
Probably, however, Mr.. Dawes does

tai activities have already given pri
vate business new grip-and busi-
ness, like lady just picked out of
the gutter mud, is in the act of passing
on, nose thumbed haughtily at the
rescuer.
So be it. But no, so be it not. There
has been too much ferment for all
things to settle back as they were,
with power flowing through the same
old hands of the same old gang.
A certain process of change has
set in and that process is going on.
There may be-there will be-fum-
bling and hating, and it may be dec
ade before the world can see clearly
what the change has been.
But the tight little group that could
twist a nations economic forces
around its fingers and shovel a ma
tion's wealth into it's pockets will not
be in the same place when that change
has been accomplished.
AS a matter of fact, just what

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1885
A SILLY ARGUMENT FOR
TAX SECRECY

In the drive now being staged to
abolish publicity for income tax re-
turns, one argument is made which
in the light of revelations of the last
two years, is so silly that it ought
to be rejected at once. This is the
claim that publicity for income tax
returns has no value in helping to
check income tax evasions.
Test that statement by one group
Of facts which Ferdinand Pecora
dragged from reluctant Croesuses
during the senate investigation Of
Wall street The House Of Morgan
J. P. Morgan & Co-has 20 members.
Except for two or three juniors, prob
ably all are multimillionaires in their
own right. Yet-not one of them,
including J. p Morgan, himself,
avoided" any payment Of income
taxes in the United States, though
Morgan, during those same years, paid
income taxes to England.
Now, does anyone able to keep
cut of home for the feeble-minded
believe for moment that the House
Of Morgan would have dared to avoid
its income taxes for those three years
if the plutocratic partners had known
that the whole story would be told to
the world as soon as the treasury had
finished compiling the returns?
Even Wall street is not dense
enough to invite public wrath in that
way. Very likely there are many cases
of evasion which would not be stop
ped by publicity. But there are many
that would be stopped by that means,
and these include some Of the cases
which the American people are most
anxious to stop.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-03-22

lively through representatives of their
own choosing.
Experience has proved that in the
absence Of such equality the result
ant failure to maintain equilibrium be-
tween the rate of wages and the rate
Of industrial expansion impairs eco
nomic stability and aggravates recur-
rent depressions, with consequent det-
riment to the general welfare and to
the free flow of commerce.
"Denials of the right to bargain
collectively lead also to strikes and
other manifestations of economic
strife, which create further obstacles
to the free flow of commerce.
1t is hereby declared to be the
policy Of the United States to remove
distractions to the free flow of COM
merce and to provide for the general
welfare by encouraging the practice
Of collective bargaining, and by pro-
tecting the exercise by the worker Of
full freedom of association, self
organization, and designation of rep
resentatives of his own choosing, for
the purpose of negotiating the terms
and conditions of his employment or
other mutual aid or protection"
This declaration of policy of Sena-
tor Wagner's bill may accurately be
called a labor charter of liberty Or
ganized labor expects that the text of
the bill which is designed to give
validity to the declaration of policy
will pass both houses of congress
without amendments designed to
weaken any of its provisions.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-03-22

not mean any such thing. When he
says that the depression will be over
in two months, he means the depres-
sion as it affects his business and the
business of his friends and associates
in the financial game. They, evidently,
count on flying high within the next
sixty days.
For that matter, the depression as
it affected Charles G. Dawes ended
a good while ago. 1t came when,
after serving as first chairman Of the
.RFC, he resigned with flourish, and
came back to borrow $90,o0O,000 Of
public money for private use-the use
Of the Dawes bank. Something like
half that huge sum has not been paid
back.
Depression almost over? In the
sense that factory hands and farmers
and small merchants and professional
workers use the word, Mr.. Dawes and
his ilk never had depression; and so
far as lessened profits and more diff
fculty in paying debts is concerned,
Mr.. Dawes cast those burdens on the
RFC more than two years ago.

COMMENT ON WEEKLY EVENTS

Under the ruffled surface of the
business stream currents Of revival
are steadily gaining strength, is the
encouraging opinion expressed by the
American Federation of Labor in its
latest monthly survey Of business.
Workers total income" the survey
says, has been slowly increasing
through unemployment; their gains
in buying power, though small, to-
gether with those of farmers, raised
retail sales in 1884 above 1888 by 6
per cent; production in mines and fac
tories in 1884 was per cent above
1888; 1884 corporation records show
that industry is operating more profit
ably; national income paid out in 1884
exceeded 1888 by $7,000,0 100000, rising
from SAG 5000 in 1888 to $685.
100000 in 1884. Although progress
is slow, the forces of recovery are
steadily gaining"
The optimistic view of the A. F. of
L. comes as ray of light in the gen
eral gloom caused by business pessi-
mism, the growing relief rolls and the
ever-mounting costs of relief. It is Of
interest not only to the United States,
but to the world, as it is quite gen
orally believed that recovery here
will be big factor in bringing re-
covery elsewhere.
If indeed recovery forces are stead
lily gaining, as the A. F. of L. thinks,
they can be greatly speeded by SUBJ
stantial wages increases. Business,
however, apparently cannot see this,
and so recovery will very likely be a
slow process. This is a point that la
Dor has repeatedly emphasized during
the depression years. 1t is again en-

senate committee on education and
labor and the house labor committee,
stresses the right of workers Ito

United States.
Asserting that the majo~ purpose of
the bill is to promote equality Of bar
gaining power between employers and
employees, to diminish the causes Of
labor disputes and to create National
Labor Relations Board, the declaration
of policy says:

tween employers and employees is not
attained when the organization of
employers in the corporate and other
forms Of ownership association is not
balanced by the free exercise by en-
ployes of the right to bargain collect

Hours of Work of Domestic Serv-
