CHILD LABOR MUST GO

William Green, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, IN his
address TO the National Women's
Trade Union League, scored the ex-
ploitation of women and children since
NRA was destroyed with bitterness
which he seldom displays. But Moth
ing could be too bitter a denuncla-
ton for some of the things which Mr..
Green told. For example:
I'm an underwear factory in Bal
timore, a 15-year-old girl was en-
ployed for 521a hours a week. Her
weekly pay check has been So for the
full week. Her mother, employed IN
the same plant, formerly received
higher compensation; but she, also, IS
now paid SIS for 5212 working hours.
"The total family income for lo5
working hours during the week is
$40"
In other words, as Mr.. Green shows,
two workers now in some trades are
getting less than the minimum wage
for single worker while NRA codes
were in force. NRA was miles from
being perfect; but the sweated work
ers to whom it gave, for the first
time in their lives, enough to live on
decently look back to it as a summer
too bright to last.
Labor must not relent in it's fight
for the abolition Of child labor" de-
clared Mr.. Green. @The only method
BY which we can oppose employers
who profteer on children is ratifca
ton of the child labor amendment,
placing upon congress responsibility
and authority to cope with the prob
lem. All other ways are blocked by
judicial decisions"

my answer then. That is my philos-
ophy to day"
1t is the philosophy of every intel
ligent person who sees facts with open
eyes, and has enough intellectual
honesty to admit the truth. Gov
Miller never would have said that ad-
versity was a good thing for himself
In the reactionary's philosophy OF
life, it is always the other fellow who
is benefited by poverty, by bank
ruptcy, by youth without opportunity
and age without safety from want
And the business Of finding blessings
in other peoples hardships is mean,
stupid and above all cowardly sub
terfuge.

Back of Shaw's wise cracks-there
is Shaw.
The writing cult pats its own
backs, mutually, each giving the other
a boost-those among the elect, that
is.
Shaw has been literally patted.
But Shaw is not among those whose
kind words adorn the blurbs about
new writing jobs.
The literary world, for Shaw, has
been one-way street-and the yaps
haven't tumbled to it yet.
We behold today, in Shaw, circus
on the down grade-and not a very
good circus at that.
Buffalo Bill probably will stick
closer to the heart of the American
masses in memory and Barnum &
Bailey and Ringling's is better show

THEY HAVE KILLED

Facts About Cuba's Most

On April % the charred remains

What had happened:
The two men were taken from Sei--

They were tortured in medieval
manner, probably in an effort to force
them to divulge secrets which they
many not have had.
First there was what is known in
print as mutilation.
Then the fingers were torn from
the hands Of each man.
Then the legs were pulled from the
bodies.
The men were dead.
The bodies were thrown back into
the automobile, which was soaked
with gasoline and fired.
1t was announced that the men had
been burned in a wreck.
But, the bodies were not in the
front seat. They had been
thrown into the back seat.
The fingers were missing.
The gasoline tank of the car
was not damaged and the con-
tents did not burn.
The assassins fumbled in those
vital respects.
The supreme court and the Cuban
senate declared there had been a mil

Administrator Hopkins has pledged

reported on August 4. 1920, that Great
Britain had refused to furnish troops
to assist the Poles In their fight
against the Bolshevists.

State Department, that an adequate
number Of British volunteers are avail
able. especially for aviation, but Po-
land lacks money to pay them.
"The Polish legation has requested
me, in view Of these conditions. to find
out whether it Is at all possible that
the United States would be willing to
enter in joint arrangement whereby
Poland would pay Great Britain for
troops by taking over a corresponding
amount of the debt which Great
Britain owes to America"

had explained that no new credits
could be given without congressional
consent and that he had indicated the
proposal could not be accepted.

1T must have been apparent that
If a sudden demand arose for the
new telephone sets, and that If this
demand could not be effectively
checked, there would be quick obso-
lescence of the receivers and trans
mitters which were adaptable only to
the old SETS"
He said the associated companies
imposed additional charges on tele-
phone subscribers with hand set tele-
phones sin order to restrain the too
rapid obsolescence and displacement
OF the old type telephones"
"No Convincing Explanation"
At another point, Buckley said:
In spite of frequent testimony on
the subject, no company witness has
offered a convincing explanation Of
the basis used in establishing the sale
price.
''It has been defended only upon
the grounds that, in the opinion of
the management, the price was fair
and reasonable" he continued.
This is the justification given for
a profit of almost $145O0,00 made by
the. parent corporation on a trans
action with companies-most of which
were subsidiary to it-and which
caused these companies to carry the
instruments at substantially $l4,500,-
600 more in their accounts than the
amount at which they were recorded
In the accounts of the American COM
pany. *+*
There is no documentary evidence
that the price was set as the result
Of bargaining between purchaser and
seller"
Buckley said public criticism" of
o 4 per cent license fee charged
operating companies on their gross
earnings before 1927 was one reason
for the A. T. & T. decision to sell the
instruments, making possible a reduc-
ton of this fee.
The public criticism, Buckley indi-
Gated, was shown by the fact that i'm
portant rate cases" involving this
point were under way in 1927 in
