American Federation of Labor
faced such a crisis as it does TO-
day. Cause of the crisis is John
Llewellyn Lewis, militant head of
the United Mine Workers. whose
principal ambition is to un.onize
the aggressively open-shop steel
industry. Reason for the crisis is
the fact that Mr.. Lewis believes
! in industrial unions, while A. F.
of L. head William Green still
| clings to the tradition of craft
! unions.
Difference between a craft and
industrial union simple-but vast.
Under the craft union system,
from which the Federation has
never deviated, unions consist Of
men doing a certain kind of work,
though they may be employed in a
hundred different industries.
Thus, all truck drivers belong to
, the same union-though some may
work for steel corporations, some
for breweries, some for depart
ment stores, etc.
! Under the industrial union sys-
| tenn advocated by Mr.. Lewis, all
workers within an industry would
belong to one big union, whatever
their jobs. If, for example, the
, steel industry was unionized, the
union would consist of smelter
operators, nachinists, and every
other kind of workmen steel MAX
ing requires.
! The issue has split union SYM
pathizers VIDE open. It came 10
& head when A. F. of L. tried the
unions following Mr.. Lewis. sus-
pended them for a brief Period,
threatened to drop them thereafter
unless they came back within the
fold. Mr.. Lewis did not even APP
pear at the trial in defense--he
has many of the biggest and most
important unions in the country in
his ranks, and he feels that his or
ganization is on the way up, will
eveptually either supplant or take
over the A. F. Of L.
Extremely momentous phase of
the Lewis movement is its poten-
tial and actual influence on poll
tics. Some think that Mr.. Lewis
looks to the creation of an Ameri-
can labor party. similar to those
long active in England, France
and, before Hitler, in Germany.
Mr.. Lewis neither affirms nor de-
MES that-but in the mean time,
! he is taking a far more active
Part in partisan politics than any
man of his Importance in the labor
movement ever did before. He is
strong for the reelection of the
President, and it seems certain that
his influence will swing millions of
votes to the New Deal. Some think
that it may be the deciding fac
tor in politically crucial Pennsyl-
vania, where Lewis followers are
most numerous, and that, as a re-
suit, it may determine the cleo
ton.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
ti0nal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

A commonly heard complaint
against American industry is that
too little of the total payroll goes
to workers and employees in the
low and middle-pay brackets, that
too much goes to officers and 9TH
er highly-paid executives.
But, according to a recent sur
vey in the United States News,
the executive gets very small
part of the nations wave pay
ments-the workers a very large
part.
The News provides exact fig
ures for two years, 1884 and
1885. In the former year, indus
try and business paid out $685.
22O, 100000 in wages to persons
in low and moderate income brack-
cts. 1t paid $780,O00,000 in SAL
aries to executives. Thus, the
workers got 81 per cent of the
total and the executives 3 per
cent.
The relationship between wages
and salaries was practically iden-
teal in the following year. Work
ers got $27,654 900, 000-execu-
tives 1856, 100000.
The News bases it's figures
largely on comprehensive sur
vey made by the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, and on
another survey by the Depart
ment of Commerce. According
to the former survey, executive
salaries, including all bonuses,
amounted to 6-10 of one per cent
of industry and business sales, and
averaged Is cents on each share
of common stock outstanding. This
survey said further that execu-
tive salaries and bonuses dwindle
into insignificance when compared
with taxes paid by industry. Where
executives got per cent of the
total payroll, total tax levies on
industry equaled 81 percent of
all the money paid for labor and
management.
1t is an interesting fact, pro
duced by other surveys, that the
executives share of the payroll
lessons on a percentage basis in
depressed times, rises in good
times. When business goes down.
hill, Executive pay is almost in
variably heavily slashed, and many
minor executives are laid off.
To carry the breakdown of pay
roll farther, out of money paid to
workers, 81 per cent goes to

The balance goes to salaried work.
ers-elerks, statesmen, stenograph-
ers, etc.
Thus, it become apparent that
if industry were able to hire its
executives for nothing at all, the
resulting saving would allow only
an extremely small increase in the
pay of the workers.

TUBERCULOSIS
NO RESPECTOR
OF ANY PERSON

tuberculosis is no respecter OF peo-
pie, Doctor Samuel Wolman, President
of the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton, said today, while discussing the
annual sale of Christmas Seals and
the disease.
Tuberculosis has no preferences
and attacks rich and poor, strong and
weak alike" Doctor Wolman said.
"Of course the rich and the strong are
more ably equipped to fight the dl-
sease, but they are nevertheless sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis infections as
are the rest. The only way to safe
guard ourselves and communities a
gainst this disease is to wipe it out.
This can be done by the tuberculosis
associations who are now conducting
their annual sale of Christmas Seals
to raise funds for this purpose"
No disease has robbed the world of
genius any more than has tuberculo-
sis. 1t has attacked, if not killed,
men and women who have been noted
in walks of life. Such names as Shell
ly, Keats, Stevenson, Emerson, Eliza
beth Barrett Browning, and Irving in
the field of literature; Spinoza and
John Locke in philosophy; Andrew
Jackson and Thomas Benton in gov
eminent; and generals such as Grant,
and Napoleon Bonaparte. Others
were Christy Mathewson, Hugh Jen-
nings, Cecil Rhodes, Roger Babson,
and Jay Gould. The list could go on
indefinitely listing people whose
names have become household words.
Reports concerning the progress
of the Christmas Seal Sale in the var
ious counties of the state will be due
next week. No definite financial re-
ports have been received as yet but
it is hoped that the enthusiasm and
optimism of the county chairmen will
be reflected in the SALE" Doctor VOL
man concluded.
People making their returns to the
various chairmen of the Seal Sale are
requested not to rub out or erase
their names from the return envelopes
If this is done there is no way Of find
ing out who made the contribution and
they will not receive credit for their
helpfulness.

F, /. A. MORTGAGES.
HEREH|T$10,@,09D.
High Figure Is Reached After
21-Month Period of
Operation.

Mortgages accepted for insurance
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton in the District Of Columbia and
environs reached $10.954,090 during
the past week, District Director j.
Reilly Stanton announced today. This
figure was reached after a 2l-month
period Of operation.
1.-THE average insured mortgage ac-
cepted for insurance in this District"
Stanton said, "is $6,344. This Is con-
siderably higher than the average OF
a .0o3 for the entire country. 1t Is an
indication of the higher types OF prop
critics of greater value which are typi-
cal in Washington.
THE portfolios Of local lending in
stitutions have been increased by this
$40 900 900 worth Of real estate loans.
While it Is undoubtedly true that this
constitutes q volume OF very sound
safe investment for these banks,
building and loan and life insurance
companies, it Is also a fact that the
procedure necessary for the procuring
of these mortgages was entirely new
to the personnel OF these lending
agencies. The fact that they have
so quickly grasped the details of this
new method of mortgage lending is a
splendid commentary on the initia-
tive and desire of the local banking
fraternity to be Of service to the peo-
pie of the community.
1T must not be forgotten that the
first loan insured in this district was
not completely closed until Decem-
Der, 1884, so that the attainment Of
the present figure in insured mort
cages has been reached in a total
period Of 2l months.

I'VE started school at the Univer-

faculty of this school, men of wide
experience who had made a serious
study of appraising methods.) This
year the school was continued and we
added to it two weeks special course
in advanced appraising. Many Of
the important lending institutions
throughout the country are sending
some of their staff to get this training
at the school.
THE aim of our institute can be
expressed very simply. 1t is to make
better appraisal. Better appraisals
in the future will mean safer invest
ments; safer investments in property
and safer investments in mortgages
