The Cherry
pYv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Congress is in session and congress
is gong to threaten to do all manner
of things. Some it will do, some it
will not do.
For example, it may do things to
the order issued by Judge Grubb in
Alabama, who issued an order stipu-
lating that Alabama cities must Sc
cure his permission before they get
PWA loans, on the grou that public
plants would compete with the Ala
bama Power Co.
That's nice howdy. Judge Grubb
is federal Judge and maybe some
thing can be done by congress to get
the judges mind off the Alabama
Power Co. Stranger things have hap
pened.
Congress may find time to get
around to Judge Grubb, and of course
there are those in IVA who will make
it their business to agitate that way.
Of different complexion will be
the fight over wages. Strangely
enough, the president, proposing his
enormous public works program, said
that wages on such projects should
be less than wages in surrounding
employment.
If the program goes into operation
the government will be about the big
gest employer in the country. If the
presidents idea is carried out the
government would become the payer
of the lowest wages.
Wouldn't that be nice New Deal !?
Maybe the president spoke without
thinking through to the end of the
trail on that issue.
But the building trades know what
it means, and they are ready to take
the warpath to protect standards that
have been half century and more in
the building.
VINO wants to see the government
setting backward pace which all
employers would do their level best to
follow?
That way lies despair and disillus-
ionment.
The Presidents Birthday is to be
celebrated throughout the nation. La
Dor is playing great part.
The date is January 30. OF the
proceeds, 10 per cent go to local insti-

tutions, under the direction of local
committees, for the treatment of in
fantile palarysis victims. Thirty per
cent will be used in research under
direction of a national commission
appointed by the president.
The president, victim of infantile
paralysis, gladly gives his name so
that other sufferers may be helped.
1t is a noble thing in which labor
gladly does its part.
Infantile paralysis knows no boun-
daries; it strikes without regard to
race, creed, color or previous condi-
tion of servitude.
Labor last year brought fine credit
to itself; it will do likewise this year
Various arguments are advanced
against the proposed 30-hour week.
Opponents say it won't work.
Possibly nobody can completely
prove that it will work.
But this we know: NOTHING
ELSE HAS WORKED.
Unemployment is not reduced ma
terially. The average of all factory
hours today is but slightly over 30.
But if hours are cut, WAGES MUST
STAY WHERE THEY ARE. There
has been enough sharing of poverty
1t is time to share plenty.
Why doesn't someone figure out 9
recovery program based upon the use
Of plenty plenty of machinery
plenty of materials, plenty of trans.
port and the employment of plenty
of idle workers.
Wouldn't that be interesting?

FRIDAY. JANUARY IS, 1885
MARS RAISING TAXES AGAIN

Mars grunted and snored in his
uneasy sleep a short time ago; and
the president Of the United States
asked congress for $792, 100000 for
the army and navy in the fiscal year
beginning July l, next. This is $780,
100000 more than has been set aside
for the two services in the present fs-
cal year, and s812,o0o,ooo more than
was put to the same use last year.
President Roosevelt is not an
alarmist; not a jingo. He is obliged
to seek staggering sums from con
gress for domestic relief, and would
not be human if he did not wish to
save on other matters. Yet he asks
the largest military appropriations
ever sought in peace time. Why?
Evidently, Mars IS stirring. One
aisquieting circumstance is known to
all. Japan has denounced the treaty
by which herself and Britain and the
United States limited naval arma-
menta. But there are still almost two
years before that treaty expires; and
one would think it might be possible
to negotiate a new agreement in that
time.
One thing Is sure: The increased
military and naval appropriations
make it more important than ever to
carry on the senate Investigations Of
the munitions industry. 50 well
launched by Senator Nye. If we are
going to spend such sums on arma
ments, we should see that we at least
get our moneys worth, and that no
war prodteers are boosting their ex-
pected gains by stimulating scares.

WORTHWHILE GOVERNMENT
PROGRAM

The recent proposal that railroad
Embarrassing elimination be made a
part Of federal relief work during the
current year is finding increasing sup
port.
1t is supported by safety authorities
who know that such a program would
do much to reduce and eventually
eliminate the great loss Of life due
to crossing accidents. 1t is supported
By railroad men, who know that it
would expedite and improve service.
It is supported by state governments,
which realize the need for crossing
elimination but have no funds to de-
vote to it. And it is supported by the
general public and the business man
who knows that no form of public
works could do more to take up the
slack in employment and stimulate
heavy industries while at the same
time not interfering with any private
endeavor.
This last phase Of the proposal is
not especially important, inasmuch
as federal funds are disbursed with
the principal stress laid on getting
maximum employment for each dollar
spent and encouraging private enter
prise. In grade-crossing elimination,
the greatest part Of the money would
go to workers, both on the job and in
factories supplying cement, steel and
other materials. And the revivifying
effect Of this would give impetus to
employment.
Safety, employment and public well
fare will all be advanced if the gov
ernment accept the proposal. There
are some 10000 grade crossings
which have no protection and each
year thousands of lives are unneces-
sarily wasted because of accidents
occurring at them. Hence the govern

THE ELECTRIC AGE COMING


The Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company reports 1884
the best year in its history for sales
Of electrical appliances. Sales ran
73 per cent above those of the pre-
vious year, and a very high percent
age of those sales are for domestic
equipment. Yet the company expects
to sell 40 per cent more electric re-
frigerators this year than it did last.
Which inspires two reflections.
First, the prophets from Senator
Harris on, who have been saying that
the American people are ready to use
almost any amount of electric current
if they can get at a proper price, are
being justified in their predictions. IN
deed, they have helped to bring those
predictions about. The IVA is not
only a unique and SO far amazingly
successful social experiment, but as a
salesman of electrical wares, it stands
alone.

business, it is a joke that the first

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Referring to the tragic Christmas
night train smash on the Canadian
National Railway near Hamilton
Ont, when IS persons were killed, the
Ottawa Daily Citizen says that, who
ever may be held technically blamable
"a measure Of responsibility may be
attached to the general policy of en-
forced economy on the railways il
recent years"
The newspaper adds that operating
expenses on the Canadian National
have been cut $104, ,407 900 since 1928
and equipment has obviously been
kept in service on narrow margin Of
safety ''This reduction of operating
expenditures must have placed very
severe strain on a devoted staff OF
workers" the paper remarks
The Citizen further says that the
railway executive had no recourse ex.
cept to yield to the demand Of the
highest authority in the land, financial
and political, for a policy of severe
fetrenchment on the railways.
A preliminary report on the Hamil-
ton, Ont, wreck attributed it to the
error Of a rear brakeman of a Christ
mas special who, not realizing his
own train was on a siding, threw the
wrong switch so that the Toronto
Detroit express plunged into the spe-
cial. Formal charges have since been
made against the brakeman.
The remarks of the Ottawa paper
also have application to recent rail
road disasters in the United States,
which have included number of de-
railments. Some, at least, may fairly
be attributed to the enforced econ
omy" cited by the Citizen. For ex-
ample, there would seem to be no
excuse for the explosion of the loco
motive on a miners train which killed
16 men in West Virginia day or two
after the Hamilton wreck. If the loco
motive had been kept in proper con
dition, it is probable there would have
been no explosion.
Failure to maintain railroad equip
ment in safe condition should not be
tolerated for moment. There is alb
solutely no excuse for it. No facts
have been produced to prove that the
railroads cannot operate safely But
if they cannot, the government will
have to take them over and do the job.
AT the present moment Fascism is
the chief inciter of war. 1t has already
taken complete possession Of some
