skeptic. For unnumbered centuries the
physical aspect of the planet has been
altering, erosion has removed and then
replaced mountains, rivers have burst
their banks and by that very process
constructed other boundaries, the sun
periodically has burned over large areas,
rain never has been subject to the
farmers beck and call. But scientists
who tirelessly chart such phenomena are
not frightened. They understand the
processes involved and know that they
are not so devastating as they seem.
For example, the sober truth about
rainfall is that it is fairly constant
throughout the United States Taking
the country as whole, precipitation
generally is sufficient. And regional
wet or dry spells have a tendency to-
ward a compensatory balance. The
losses of one era are made up in the
next. No permanent nor unbelievable
ruin of "our own especial star" is fore
cast. 1t follows that tinidity in the face
Of any drought or flood emergency is
but psychological handicap in dealing
with its social connotations.

Relief and Protection for
Possible Steel Strikers
To the Editor O. The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
AS a voting resident of Pennsylvania
I am rather curious to know just how
Lieut. Gov Thomas Kennedy erred in
promising the steel workers relief and
protection against violence.
You probably realize that the steel
workers, along with the remainder Of the
working-clasS population, contribute
very heavily to funds for relief. These
funds are raised through taxes on gaso-
line, cigarettes, moving pictures and
other So-called luXurieS. Pennsylvania
does not have State income tax law,
chiefly through the efforts of the same
industrialists who are fighting the steel
unionization program. Who are better
entitled to relief than those who pay
the bill?
AS to protecting the workers from the
violence of the steel overlords, surely you
will concede that the first duty of the
State is the protection of the lives of
its citizens. Naturally the steel COM
panies are going to attempt to break
the unionization campaign by provoking
violence, assaults on union organizers,
the breaking up of union meetings, and
all the other tricks of the trade. Dis
eating committee indicated that the steel
companies have prepared to protect"
their workers from unioniZation and
higher wages by installing veritable
arsenals and maintaining their own we'll
equipped private armies. Not so long
ago, sc entrenched is their power, they
were able to prevent the United States
Secretary of Labor from speaking in a
public hall in a certain Pennsylvania
town by simply denying her a permit.
There is no doubt that the steel barons
are in favor Of an open shop, if for no
other reason than that of economy in
the payment of wages. The very fact
that they are unwilling to let the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board conduct a
free and open election on the question
of open versus closed. shop indicates that
the workers are Overwhelmingly for
unionization. Therefore protecting the
workers from a closed shop is like pro-
tecting baby from his breakfast

Catastrophes Not New.

Sensitive individuals, reading of
droughts and floods, may wonder on
occasion if such catastrophes are not in
creasing in number, in intensity and in
tragic effect. The answer to that ques-
ton would appear to be an affirmative
But there is another explanation
namely, the development of better IA
cilities for reporting the facts. News
agencies in the present period of his
tory have perfected their technique of
service to the point where they are able
to give unprecedented beverage" to
events which as recently as a decade
ago necessarily were almost totally
ignored. The radio networks also should
be taken into account in any effort to
appraise the change. BroadcaSting ia
cilities, it is clear, have added to the
drama as well as the efficiency of Jour-
nalism. The impact of current history
upon the public mind is more compelling
now than at any previous date.
Hence, the danger of panic appre-
hension of disaster. People jump to the
conclusion that a novel threat hangs
over the world-the threat Of nature
turned hostile. And the fear in their
hearts is not altogether unreasonable.
They have been educated" into con-
sciousness Of their dependence upon
their environment. Yet even casual
perusal of the annals of the human race
should be enough to convince any

Subsection of Women a
Cause of Social Problems
To the Editor OF The Star:

: To the Editor OF The Star:
Now that the conventions of both
political parties have passed into history,
may comment briefly on phase or two
of the present day attitude of men to-
ward the ceaseless struggle-now nearly
century old-which women have waged
to secure an improved status.
1t is gratifying to note that some
progress was made, especially at the
Philadelphia convention, where the ladies
were in evidence in unprecedented num-
bers. Inquisitive Ewes were actually per-
mitted to "sit in" on the sessions of the
Resolutions Committee, which must be
chalked up to the credit of the Demo-
Gratis. Never mind about the reasons
why it was done. Traditionally mascu-
line Adams no doubt thought it quite
concession. 1t was privilege extended,
however; not the right to fully partici-
pate in the consideration of problems
common to both men and women as well
as children.
Referring again to the Stacking in
f1uence of custom and tradition which
your good paper has heretofore given me
space to point out, ask rather YEARLY,
when will men cease to speak and write
dbOub Liz TOtSOCCCu 41dli, llC NC
membered Man." The Average Man
man-man-man? The answer, of
course, is, when they begin to think
seriously about man and woman" "peo-
pie" persons" citizens" and interpret
these terms as applying to the feminine
half of the Nation in the same sense
that they apply to the other half-on the
basis of common Status-"Equal Justice
Under Law" in fact as we'll as fiction
To the awakened woman men are self
deceived-under the Stacking involun-
tary spell of an inherited thought process
centuries old in its operation-Which
depreciates and degrades women regard
less of the number of difficult hurdles
they have successfully taken. Patiently
she seeks to dissolve the adamant of the
ages stubbornly intrenched in the sub
conscious minds of men, and endeavor
to bring to light the real man that God
made-a just man-who recognizes the
woman and man, jointly and Severally,
the responsibility of nurturtng and de-
veloping the human race.
Men of the twentieth century, why
continue to countenance the subsection
and submergence of women-that hoary
incubus which is the often unsupported
cause of SO many of the perplexing prob
lens which burden society? Why longer
clog the wheels of human progress? Let

Typesetter Recalls Brown
Machine i'm Boston i'm 1873
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The letter of Frank c. Jamison in The
Star Of July was especially interesting
to me- since operated occasionally one
of the Brown typesetting machines
the only one in Boston, I think-in the
year 1873, when was II years old.
The choice of column of advertise
ments as a test of the machine in the
Tribune Office was manifestly unfair.
If solid matter adapted to the machine
had been chosen the result might have
been different III typesetting the ma
chine was fairly successful. The distribu-
ton failed occasionally. Every letter
had characteristic combination of
hicks, and as column of dead" matter
was fed into the center of the distributor,
each letter was guided into the proper
slot. 1t was this part of the machinery
that sometimes failed, and Mr.. Brown
used to come to the office of my father,
the late H. L. Hastings, and adjust the
machine. When Brown died, a year
or two later, there was no one to take
an interest in the matter and we went
back to hand composition, using the
same specially nicked type.

a law would cause limitation of the num-
Der Of licenses issued, which would have
resulted In q freeze Of their busi-
ness.
A large proportion of the murders COM
mitted are in prosecution and protection
of the operations of organized gangs en-
gagged in illegal rackets. So long as these
veritable outlaws prey only upon one an
other society in general is not greatly
concerned. But the reign of terrorism
extends far beyond the ranks of the
gangs. The victims are numbered by
the tens of thousands, those who con-
tribute in small and large sums to the
gangs in their patronage of swindling
schemes and in the payment of extor-
tionate prices for goods and services in
the lines of trade which the gangs have
dominated by their terrorism.
So fragrant are these offenses that it
would seem no difficult matter to iden-
tify, catch and punish these operators
in organized crime. But the very func-
tons of the law-enforcing system have
been perverted in many cases. The law
indeed seems to be crippled. Outside of
the Federal jurisdiction little is done to
arrest this process of murderous greed.
Long delays occur when cases are made
and the accused then are brought to
trial, witnesses are intimidated, prose-
cutting officers are threatened and in
some cases have been killed. And the
net result is the imposition of made
quate punishment in those compare
lively few cases of successful prosecu-
ton. Then comes the parole, still fur
ther to lessen the efficiency of the law.
1t is not pretty picture. 1t is indeed
most disgraceful spectacle. The cost
of crime in all its forms, which cannot
be fully computed, is staggeringly large.
What will be the end of this tendency
toward national moral bankruptcy?
