MAJESTIC EQUALITY OF THE LAW

(The Minneapolis Labor Review
Workers have the right to sleep in
factories. This is the profound ruling
of Judge Montgomery of the Henne-
pin County District court.
1t is improbable that the decision of
the Court would permit steering on
the job without the penalty of being
fired.
Whether workers without homes
may make use of factories for sleep
ing purposes the workers themselves
may make a decision when worsening
conditions make necessity the parent
of new ideas.
For all practical purposes the strike
at the Ornamental Metal Factories is
ended with the Strikers gaining their
detectives after weeks of struggle and
the sacrificing of two precious lives
because of governmental stupidity.
1t remained for Judge Montgomery
to resurrect legal aspect of the
struggle in the effort to give the Citi-
zens Alliance a trifle of color to the
contention of having won a point.
Perhaps the Judge was perturbed
because it was found during the strike
that injunctions were as ineffective as
the sprinkling Of perfume against
mass picket lines.
Evidently it was a difficult question
for His Honor to decide. At least he
tOiled over it. or at least kept it I'M
der consideration for several long
weeks.
All the Strikers had long ago
returned to their work and the plants
are operating more satisfactorily I'M
der union conditions than ever they
did under nonunion conditions. Then
from the tomb of the court comes the
learned decision that it is perfectly
all right for workers to sleep in the
plants where they are employed.
For the protection of life and
health the workers had succeeded in
having an ordinance enacted forbid
ding workers sleeping in plants where
employed.
1t was because this ordinance was
violated in the Ornamental Metal
workers strike that riots occurred
and two lives were snuffed out 1t
happens that those sleeping in the
plant in question were not workers.
they were Pinkerton finks imported
to cow the strikers. They shun work.
yet the Judge seeks to base his de-
cision on the tricky reason of pro-
tecting the rights of the workers

BOTH HANDS BUSY
(HOpkins Review

We see by the papers where Carl
Eastwood. youngest spirit in Mime
sofas COP, is going to conduct the
preliminary ballyhoo in this state for
the nomination of Colonel Frank
Knox of Chicago. We have never
thought much of this business of max
ing presidents out Of newspaper pub
fishers, since the late lamented Hard
ing administration. But Carl has been
able to hold his nose with one hand
and the Tom Schall standard with the
other all these years, so undoubtedly
he will suffer no pangs Of conscience
in advocating the candidacy of the
reactionary Knox.

CHIPS OF SPEECH
(Christian Science Monitor)

Small words are best. Leave the
long ones to those who need to show
they have been to school. Short
words have force. Most of the strong
thoughts and acts and hopes of men
take short words to tell them. Might
and right. strength, faith, are words
of just one sound each.
And such words speak we'll in small
groups. From start to the full stop
need be but few sounds-each sound
word, each word a punch, and the
whole a cause won. Things for which
men feel awe may be held each in a
small word. Things they love, too,
like trees and grass and lakes and
the sea, the blooms in the yard by the

nesses, millions for farm and home
loans which will never be repaid in
full.
But the biggest outlay has been to
meet the emergency situation created
by the throwing of millions out of
work. And this problem has not been
attacked in any sensible or scientific
manner but met hastily by various
illprovised and costly makeshifts.
Nor is there an end to the spend
ing for such purposes in sight. The
jobless haven't been put back to work
even on useless WPA projects. Thou
sands will still be out of jobs when
this program is officially concluded
Dec. 1.
The situation serves to direct at
tention today to what is our gravest
economic and social problem. Even
if 1928 prosperity should return, we
would still have million or more
jobless. We can not go on indefinite
ly appropriating money for leaf-rak-
ing government jobs or handouts. We
must find some better way.
Old-age pensions, unemployment in
surance, shorter work week and
day are steps toward what must be a
complicated system of making jobs
go round within our present economic
setup. The other alternative is die
tatorship with lowered standards of
living, longer hours. less pay, and
more accentuation of the present in
equalities of wealth-and no final
solution of the problem.
Accumulation of nonproductive
wealth through lowered wages with
their lessened purchasing power
means anything but national prosper
ity. 1t really spells ruin.

The food sale conducted Saturday
in the town hall under auspices of
the English Ladies' Aid met with
success. The ladies did good bus

BIG WAR CURB
POWER FOR
president
Congress to Be Asked
To Enable Executive
to Use Discretion
international News Service

An intensive drive will be made
by the State Department to have
Congress clothe the President with
unprecedented powers designed
not only to keep this country out
of future wars but to enhance the
strength Of it's diplomatic influ-
ence to prevent wars.
The President would be given
authority to sever virtually all
trade relations with any nation
which resorts to war, and to use
his own discretion in determining
when such embargoes shall be
proclaimed and whether they shall
be enforced against both or only
one of the belligerents.
This was learned today follow
ing Secretary of State Cordell
Hull's assertion that imposition Of
an arms embargo against warning
nations was not sufficient to safe
guard American neutrality, and
his further declaration that it was
the duty Of the United States not
only to try and keep out Of foreign
wars, but to try and prevent them.
The State Department was pre-
pairing to go to bat with Congress
for discretionary neutrality power,
despite the setback it suffered at
the last session. Congress made it
mandatory upon the President to
impose an arms embargo immedi-
ately upon the outbreak Of war,
and against both belligerents. .
In advancing the State Depart
ment's theory that It is more i'm
portant to try and avert war than
to devise methods Of trying to
keep out of it when it has com.
menced. Mr.. Hull went further
than any Administration official
las gone yet.
He said flatly he conceived it
to be the duty of the Government,
"in the interest of our country
and of humanity" not only to try
and keep out of foreign wars but
ito use our influence in any ap-
propriate way to bring about the
peaceful settlement OF interna.
tional differences"
It was not enough. he said,
merely to impose an arms embargo
against warning nations and then
let them fight to their hearts
content.
