HELPLESS LEFT UNPROTECTED

HE'LL LESS LEE oASi M IN A1D
Hamilton Fish, Jr., republican con-
pressman from the 26th district of
New York, is out with scathing de-
denunciation of the decision of the
supreme court which invalidates the
New York minimum wage law.
81 say to my republican friends
SAYS Mr.. Fish, that this decision of
the supreme court means 100000
votes for the democratic party.
Until a constitutional amendment
is adopted, there is no way now to
protect women and children from the
rats and chiselers who squeeze their
! life blood In my own state, the
greatest industrial state in the union,
women and children get eight or nine
i dollars a week. That is far below
enough to feed and clothe them.
And he calls for the parties to unite
! and emancipate the 100000 white
slaves" of industry.
i Never before has the supreme court
managed to make itself quite 50 un-
popular Its decision has left, as
President Roosevelt correctly says, a
no mans land, in which no government
has authority to protect the helpless.
A week before, the court declared
that the Guffey act, by which con-
gress tried to better the lot Of coal
miners, was an invasion of state
rights. But when New York exer-
cises its supposed rights, and passes
a badly-needed law protecting women
and children from starvation wages,
the court finds that this law runs
against the fourteenth amendment
This is not government of the peo-
pie. At its best, it is a government Of
the people by and for financial auto
crats; at worst, it is no government
at all, but anarchy over wide field
where government action is needed.

Clothing Workers
Endorse Roosevelt

Cleveland QLNS) )-The members of
the convention of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America indors-
ed the reelection of President Roose-
welt by standing vote which was not
far from unanimous, and called for
a constitutional amendment granting
power to congress to protect the So
cial and economic life of workers.
The resolutions on this question
urged congress to pass laws prescrib-
ing minimum wages apd maximum
hours. If congress found itself unable
to pass legislation of this kind that
will stand up to supreme court, then
the constitution should be amended
giving congress that power.

OUR RUINED CREDIT

The New Deal has utterly ruined
the credit Of the nation. Every stand
patter in congress and most Of them
outside has been saying that. The
New Deal hasn't balanced the bud
get; and that is an unfailing sign of
ruin. Besides, the government is
spending too much money on relief.
And now we find by experiment
that the credit Of the nation is so
badly ruined that when the federal
government wants to borrow bill
lion dollars, it is offered more than
six billions. The $6oO.0oo,OoO in bonds
bearing ~ per cent and running from
IS to l8 years were oversubscribed
nearly 7 times; and the $4oo,ooo,Oo0
Of 1as per cent treasury notes were
oversubscribed about six times.
Ruined credit? Almost any private
business would be tickled pink to find
itself in the same sort Of ruin.
The real trouble with the New Deal
is that it has not yet found the way
to keep capital from hogging too large
a share Of recovery, which naturally
leaves labor with too little. That is
a very serious matter. Not until la
Dor can buy the goods it produces

Every unionized plant or industry
helps not only those Immediately en-
ployed; it helps labor everywhere. The
first union was established at tremen-
dous sacrifice. Compared to that, the
last union was established with ease.
The first union was established in de-
fiance of public sentiment. The last
union had public sentiment with it.
Every union helps every union.
Patronize the products and services
of every union. Look for the label and
demand it until you get it. On cigar
cites it is easy, for every leading
place carries the union brands. On
some other things it is harder to get,
but persistent demand viii help to
bring more unions into being. Use
your buying power to build unionism.

equality, except in his temporarily
expanded imagination.
The supreme court tells women to
jump on barrel, wave their arms
wildly and yell, NOW bring on your
damned corporations" but if they do
the mortality rate will be terrible.
The supreme court is burdened with
great desire to make the constitu-
tion as unyielding as possible. In the
IS to d monstrosities, the five never
look ahead and they don't seem even to
understand the past.
It's one of the worlds strangest
phenomena.
Here's something to think about:
Corporations are created by virtue
of law. Law brought them into ex-
istence. They are constitutional. Some
of them have big, strong constitutions
of their own-and fat profits.
These constitutional, lawful bodies
of wealth and power put the individ-
ual worker at a terrible disadvantage.
They put women at double disad-
vantage.
The law-the state-did this.
But when the state, by law, at
tempts to equalize the situation which
it has created, THAT is, we find,
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
If there is any logic in the position
taken by the supreme court, YOU
FIND 1T.

SWindlers Again

TT is A PECULIAR sidelght on human ma
ture that a person who is unduly suspi-
cious of neighbors and frequently doubts
the advice of his or her doctor and lawyer,
often falls an easy victim to slick profession
al swindlers, usually entire strangers.
The daily press this week carried the
story of the southwestern Minnesota woman
who invested $4,000 in bonds and 500 in
cash in fake oil leases, sold her by a man
with a long police record. Had she taken the
trouble to suggest his presence in her city
it's authorities, her money and that OF
others on whom he will continue his activi-
ties would be saved.
But no, his credentials looked genuine
and he no doubt talked like perfect gentle
man. Why he singled her out to receive
quick profits and why such a good thing
wasn't gobbled up in money markets without
the necessity of door-to-door selling never
occurred to her.
State and federal authorities keep hot
on the trail of such crooks. Newspapers warn
frequently of them and tell of their activi-
ties. Yet they continue to do rushing
business. Barnum had phrase for it.

A READER WRITES
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
One of the greatest issues confronting the Am
erican farmer today is the Reciprocal trade treaty
movement, for it vitality affects his pocketbook The
results of the new Reciprocal trade treaty with
Canada which went into effect January 1st should
open the eyes of stockmen in the Middle West
Recently Chester c. Davis, former administra-
tor of the defunct AAA, and member of the
Federal Reserve Board, came to Minnesota and de-
Tended this treaty beneftting agriculture and
quoted figures reported in the press entirely out
of line with the facts shown by marketing agen-
cies at South st. Paul. Recently too Edward
O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau, in
addressing meetings of farmers in Minnesota at
tempted to back up Secretary Wallace and Justify
this treaty. He gave the farmers the impression
that at least it is doing no harm.
In our opinion the situation is decidedly detri-
mental to agriculture. Besides it will become
if, and when similar treaty with Argentina is
put into effect. That country has 5000 head of
cattle per thousand population while this country
has $50 head of cattle per thousand population
ours sufficient number to supply our needs

Election Public Enemies

r. DITORIAL cartoons frequently tell a
r story far better than words. Best ex-
- ample this week was one in the Detroit
News entitled watch for these public enc
miles,"
1t pictures a big uniformed fellow,
shouting, with loud speaker horns in his
cap and beating huge drum on which are
the words bunk and ballyhoo." With one
hand he beats the drum while with the other
he leads a vicious looking little fellow in
black suit and hat with finger to his mouth
while he talks from one corner of it. He is
labeled whispering campaign"
1t is fact that a political speech which
does not contain half-truths and evasions, it
not bold face lies, is rare if not unheard OF
while hackneyed phrases, meaningless when
analysed, serve only to take in the voters.
But the worst form of political warfare,
the submarine attack without warning, is
the whispering campaign. A campaign
speaker rarely dares even infer from the
platform that his opponent is physically or
morally unfit for the office sought but the
gossips can spread the poison which usually
reaches the victim only after it has made
the rounds"
Corrupt practice acts have purged cleo
lions of some of their worst features. But
it is not the laws that are at fault. The diff
ficulty is the kind of candidates we have and
the fact that the public lets itself be kldded

a year. We have known good many of
them in the past, but we have never known
of one who did not respond willingly and
cheerfully on all occasions no matter how
frequently the demands came or how busy
the individual was at the time Whether it
is funeral over which the whole country
