More backward looking ob- servatiOns at random. We still like Vernon Pickup's Poets COrners broadcasts on WATR. Vernon has a grand voice for that type of program. '. Edith Sacco of. cred some pleasant vocal se- 1ections. T. Van Clemens and Dorothy Jones continued their splendid dual programs. :. Paulette Wolozin did excep- tionally well as q commercial spielcr, though she made her debut i'm this type of work only a week ago. The week brought the discovery that WATR has more local and national news programs on the air than any other Connecticut station. \. Sta- ton officials believe, and we think rightly so, that listeners want local and national news over the air.

The National Debacle

In preparing for what is called a national pro-
gram of conservation, President Roosevelt has
ordered all remaining government land taken
out of production withdrawn from location,
settlement, sale or entry. This will make, in
all, 65,695,O00 acres one and one-fourth
acres for each person, man, woman and child,
in the United States, that will have been scrap
ped - permanently "plowed under" In addi-
ton, it is the intention of the government to
purchase 100000 acres more, to be taken out
of production.
No one could complain if the government was
acquiring this land for the purpose of permanent
ownership, to be used for the benefit of the hun
cry masses, but this is not the case; this is part
of the ~fanatical planned scarcity" plan of the
brain trusters that seems to have the President
in its fiendish power. There is an affinity be-
tween blowing under cotton and corn, drown
ing pigs and taking land, the source Of all real
wealth, permanently out Of production.

SENATE TAKE
IMPORTANT Step

Washington, D. c., February.-The
most important forward step taken
since the opening of the 74th Congress
looking toward the strengthening and
extension of the merit system, and the
loosening Of the spoilmen's grip on
Federal positions, was taken today IN
the comprehensive hearing held by a
subcommittee of the Senate Civil Ser
vice committee on the bill sponsored
by the National Federation Of Federal
Employees and National Legislative
Council Of Federal Employee Organi-
cations. The bill was introduced by
Senator M. M. Logan, of Kentucky.
Not only do we favor this bill as a
basically important step in the move
ment to give the Federal Government
a real civil service SYSTEM" DR.. Gulick
declared, "but we have no hesitancy in
saying that our experience proves that
a bill of this kind will meet with the
hearty approval of thinking men and
women everywhere. We have found
almost without exception that commun-
ity leaders throughout the land are an
xious to bring about Federal, State and
municipal civil service reform. This
bill will accomplish a vast mount of
good in strengthening the Federal civil
service, and / am convinced it will have
the backing of thoughtful citizens in
every State and community"

Child Labor Amendment

The Child Labor amendment to the federal
Constitution was initiated ten years ago. To
date p states have ratified it, lacking IA for the
required three-fourths majority. This is a path
etc and deplorable showing on the part Of the
American people, but by far the most pathetic
and deplorable thing about the child labor amend
ment is the arguments that are being used to
prevent its final ratification. Long editorials
are appearing daily in a dastardly attempt to
bring about its defeat. None dares to argue
against its merits, though some have ventured
to complain that the age limit of Is years is too
high, saying, in effect, that boys and girls are
men and women before that age, and therefore
should be fit subjects for exploitation in mine,
mill and factory.
All Of these hypocritical arguments are sub
terfuges. Here are a few samples: "Too much
time has elapsed since its initiation 1t is in
conflict with state rights. 1t would create anoth-
er federal bureau" But what is really in their
minds is to defeat the amendment so that the
inhuman exploitation of the future fathers and
matter is purely a commercial one; humanity,
honor, decency and justice do not enter into it.
The friends of the Child Labor Amendment
should keep up their good work, regardless of
the poison propaganda of the Association of
Commerce sob-sisters. The time was never more
favorable than the present to unchain the child
rem of the United States from the Shylocks of
industry, and at the same time really assist in
relieving adult unemployment.

OUR POLICY

Our name states specifically our policy. 1t
will be an Independent Voice in Dawson county.
1t will be the voice of the common people of the
Eastern section of Montana, the Voice of the
Farmers and Workers who settled this country
and have worked hard, some Of them for a
generation, to build up this country and wrest
a living from its acres and shops. It will be the
voice Of each farmer, worker, business man and
professional man who is interested in building
this great inland empire and making it a more
desirable section of the country in which to live
and earn a living. It will be the voice of those
whose interests are above partisan advancement
and selfish aims. 1t will be the voice of those
who can truthfully say "all for each and each
for ALL"
The pages of this paper will be open to those
who have any idea that will be of benefit to all
of the people, regardless of whether or not we
agree with that idea. Our slogan will be. 1--WE
may not agree with what you say, but we will
fight to the death to defend your right to say
it" In short this is your paper. This is your
voice.
This paper has no axe to grind, no propaganda
to advance, no pet peeve. It is starting, anew,
right from the bottom with no traditions to tie
" dHN III past iOydilACS lildL uCludlu SpCCldl
favor. Politically it stands on the slogan elect
your friends and defeat your enemies" The
friends are those who adhere to the Constitu-
tional right of a guarantee to all citizens of the
right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
freedom of speech and press, and who believe
that this should in reality be a government of,
by and for the people. It's enemies are those
who would seek to create a facist dictatorship
whether it be of business, capital or even of a
proletariat.
Believing in these principles of freedom and
demanding these rights for ourselves we also
demand that others, whether in the majority or
minority be accorded the same privileges. We
ask nothing for ourselves that we are not will
ing to concede to others.
If you believe in these fundamental principles
you will like our paper and get as much kick
out Of reading it as we do in editing it.

LABOR DECISIONS
NOT ENFORCED

CINCINNATI, Ohio.-Many of the
decisions of the National Labor Rela-
tons Board became mere scraps of pa
per without legal validity, according to
a statement by Francis Biddle, chair
man of the board, in an address before
the Ninth District Regional Labor
Board here. He said:
Il think the enforcement feature Of
my board has broken down. 1t ought
to be strengthened, let's admit it."
He declared the Blue Eagle is dead
as a practical proposition, but expressed
the view that it has great value as a
moral symptom.
He feared the advent Of compulsory
arbitration in labor disputes "if the
machinery and. theory of collective bar
gaining" set forth in the National In
dustrial Recovery Act breaks down.

Millions Spent For
Public Health

Federal, state and local government
raise by taxation around $S3,OO0,000 an
nually for public health work, accord
ing to a statement made by DR.. c. E,
Waller, assistant to the Surgeon-Gen
eral of the United States, in the hear
ings before the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House Of Representa-
tives at Washington on President Roos-
evelt's security bill. Federal taxes con-
tribute $~l0,000,0O0 of this amount DR.,
Waller pointed out, however, that ac-
tually only about one million dollars
of this sum is used for what might pro
perly be called the public health SER
vice, the most of it being allocated to
the Marine Hospital service operated
by the Federal Government.
Private foundations spend about $27,-
annually for public health work,
the total Of government and pri-
vate funds to around $110,O00,000.

Americans Must
Consume More To
Abolish Poverty

If the American people want to run
their productive plant full speed, every
person in this country must be enabled
to consume as much as he wants OF
mass product goods.
Limited only by physical conditions,
our productive machine car produce for
every family a living standard equiva-
lent to $%4,370-a scale which permits
decent living conditions, particularly
when we consider the security and sup
Elementary benefits accompanying such
a condition.
But to maintain this full capacity
production and this standard Of living,
it is necessary that every family con-
sumo $3.50 worth of goods and SER
vices. In other words, we must be able
to buy all that we can produce in order
to be able to maintain the high living
standard.
This is the startling concept intro
duced by the Natl. Survey of Potential
Product Capacity.
No one, no matter how much money
he has, can eat more thar a certain
amount Of food, use more than a COM
p%aratively limited number of homes,
clothes and so on. All this is adequate
" covered in the $3.50 estimated by
the survey. As far as scarce articles,
such as valuable paintings, are concern
ed, with the achievement Of a general
higher standard of living and its ac-
%companying leisure, such scarce things
will undoubtedly be produced in more
abundance than ever before and those
who want them will have the chance
TO get them
But just as soon as people do not
consume this $3.50 worth of goods and
services which must be consumed in
order to keep the productive machine
working efficiently, a breakdown will
occur. Either the farmer will be caught
with surplus wheat that he can't sell

Union Demands for 30
Hour Week Voiced at
Senate Hearing

WASHINGTON. - (FP) ~ Stating
that operation of the NRA has con
WINGED labor that "half measures and
timid stops will not put to work our
unemployed" or increase II pur-
chasing power" William Green, presi-
dent Of the American Federation Of
Labor, appeared before the Senate
Judiciary Committee February / to
urge passage of the Black 30-hour week
bill.
With an actual average work week Of
81 hours in 1884, he said, marked re-
employment could come only through
the enactment of this bill. Employers
will oppose this bill as they did the 10
and 8-hour day in the past. But his
torically, their arguments that industry
cannot bear the cost of a shorter work
week have been disproved. Profits,
Green showed, mounted in the past
with shorter hours, and labor costs in
the total value of commodities dropped
as a result Of greater efficiency.
The 30-hour week, he declared,
would at 1884 levels of production give
jobs to 100000, and the increasing
purchasing power that would result
would put other millions to work.
Green warned the committee that
with II million unemployed "a rising
discomfort is sweeping the industrial
centers" and that ct is not in the ma
ture of American workers to sit quietly
and starve."
Vice Pres. Francis G. Barrett of the
international Typographical Union tes-
titled hat a survey of the members in
3l5 cities showed that the presidents
unemployment agreement gave jobs to
only o. members. ''The 40-hour week"
he stated "does not, will not, and can
not afford any relief to our unem-
ployed. The codes in our industry
have failed us. We again look for
ward for relief through adoption of
this bill"

New System Of Relief
Urged by Miss Abbott

Chicago, Hl.-Miss Edith Abbott,
member. Of the Relief Advisory Com
mittee to President Roosevelt's Com
mittee on Economic Security, in a
statement here advocated a new nom
political system for taking care of the
needy, running down the line from
Washington to each county seat, with
experts in charge and financial sup
port from every government unit, in
GLIDING the Federal Government.
The program visions the establish
ment Of a division of public assis-
lance in the welfare department of
each State, in charge Of trained So
cial workers. Civil service would be
used to III employees on the basis
Of their competency. There would be
subsidiary bureaus in each county.
These offices would have charge of all
welfare work, including employment
or relief for the father, aid for the
entire family, care of the sick and
disabled, and the administration Of
widows pensions and old-age pensions.
Pointing out that nobody wants to
be called a pauper," Miss Abbott ex-
planned that, under her proposal, ar
chaic pauper laws would be abolished
and all overlapping departments con-
solidated. She added:
Those who could be cared for in
other ways would be taken off the list.
It would be managed with the eff
cheney of a big corporation. National
standards would be set. We would
get rid of incompetent workers. 1t
would be taken out of the hands Of
politicians. It would save money and
provide better service"
Montana labor news., 1935-03-07

because not enough bread is being
eaten, so that he in turn can't buy,
and thus a vicious circle is begun; OF
the automobile industry will be caught
with surplus autos, so that the indus
try stops using steel and coal, choking
the mines, throwing men out of work
and starting another vicious circle.
That is why our economic system -
the profit system has become a tragic
failure, the survey points out.
Proverty prevails in the United
States, it always has, and it will -
though it does not need to-as long
as the American people do not get
enough money to be able to buy all
that our productive machine can pro-
duce.
Under a system of production for
profits, employers, instead of raising
wages to enable workers to consume
enough to keep the productive machine
working full speed, cut down produc-
ton to fill the limited demands of UNI
derpaid workers.
Poverty will disappear from the
United States when we end this system
of production for profits and allow pro-
duction to be for the satisfaction Of
human needs and wants, restrained
only by physical factors and the state
Of our knowledge, the survey states.
Even the government, through its
NRA, AAA and other restrictive agen-
cies, assists employers in the "conspir-
acy to curtail production and impover-
ish the people"
Thus our present setup is a state Of
deliberate restriction of production and
Of chronological advance. This has been
an outstanding characteristic of Fascism
in Europe.
There is no way under the profit
system, it would seem, to utilize our
full productive capacity to raise our
living standards.
Then why the profit system, is the
question workers are beginning to ask.
