The present Supreme Court might rule out the

WEDNESDAY. MARCH Is. 1885.
TO AVERT INDUSTRIAL WAR
IA soRIPPs-HowARn NEHspAprR,

MO more disheartening news ever has appeared
than that concerning the secret arming of GER
tain American industrial plants in anticipation of
war With their workers
"On account of their desire that their employees
be not familiar with what they are doing they re-
quire that we great secrecy in the way bills are
( handled" So read letter from an agency spe-
cializing in strike breaking equipment Federal
Laboratories, Inc) to Smith & Wesson, gun manu-
1acture1s, concerning shipment of military and
police revovers ordered by the Werton Steel Co.
Similar correspondence has come to light involving
secret purchases of tear gas guns and ammunition
by other industrial concerns
A CRITICAL phase has come in American indus
Airy. Machines are beginning to dspace men
in greater and greater numbers. Cruel as this
process is, it is not fair to blame owners and man
ayers. They caught in a competitive condition
that seems to leave them choice. They must keep
abreast of mechanical improvements or go out of
business. The movement toward mechanical manu-
featuring is relentless and as irresistible as the
movement of glacier; it is as cold and answering
Industry can not stand across it's path, but must
with it.
This is understandable. Thousands of EMPLOYERS
who find themselves forced to participate in this
process are hating it in their hearts They foresee
troube-human trouble. They sympathize with the
tentative and sometimes laundering attempts of
political statesmen to meet the developing situation
They know even as they reduce employment in their
own plants that Americas way out is through more
employment, not less
Further, they recognize the right of the workers
to seek their own means of thwarting the ruin that
threatens them. They respect the leaders of labor
knowing that if fate had placed them on the other
side of the table they would be fighting for labors
existence even as these leaders are-some of them
blndly some of them intelligently.
Such employers not secretly arming with the
idea of surprising their employees and crushing them
when the time comes. They know that their prob
bem is part of great national and world problem
solution of the problem if the government or indus
: try itself find solution
They know the answer will not come from the
mouths of machine guns in the atmosphere of tear
gas.
The hope of averting national labor conflict lies
with employers of this kind. Industry is organized
in more ways than one. If its leadership is wise it
will take in hand those employers who by their
stupid preparations for war with their workers are
definitely fastening the day when will come.

DRASTIC PROPOSALS

MYTH minority dissenting, the Presidents
w Council for Industrial Progress urges Con-
gress to create commissions to fix maximum hours
and minimum wages for labor and to limit child
labor in interstate commerce. The councils COM
mittee fair trade practices also urges legislation
to curb unfair practices and to expand powers of the
Federal Trade Commission to enforce such legisla-
ton.
These are drastic proposals. reaching beyond
powers of the late NRA's voluntary codes. In view
of recent Supreme Court decisions it is doubtful
if they could weather an appeal to that tribunal
Yet unless private industry voluntarily restores
employment and buying power to its workers gov
eminent may have to take some such radical STEP
The American Federation of Labor's usually &C
curate Monthly Survey of Business presents dis
quieting picture.
In 1884, when NRA raised wages and shortened
hours, the increases in industrial production and
workers buying power equal.
In 1885, production increased IA per cent, while
the workers buying power increased only 3 per
cent. The estimates based on government
figures covering 1O4 industries
In the last half of 1885, profits of 100 large cor
porations increased 141 per cent compared with
the last half of 1884 STANDARD Statistics index
But average wage rates were reduced by per cent
per hour between July and December 1885. And
hours of work were heightened so that the average
work week three hours longer in December
than in July. BY this stretching of work hours the
A. F. of L. estimates that more than 100000 jobs
denied the jobless.
Last year local. state and Federal governments
kept an average of 100000 persons on relief, not
counting those working on PWA. The relief rolls
outnumbered the men and women employed by our
five largest industres-textiles railroads, building
machinery and iron and steel products. Those in
industry earned an average of $23 week, creating
buying power of $5,6OOOOO OOO those on relief sub

public debt by billions.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

NTOULDNT it be smart of us to analyze a few
OF our popular phrases? For example, in the
teapot tempest stirred up by Princeton and vassar
students who suggest a bonus for future wars in
dlgnant Legionnaires repeat this sentiment: when
the name of Gold Star Mother is dragged into the
public press and the woman who gave her most
priceless possession her only son. in order that this
country might be safe place to live in the action
can not go unnoticed"
How grand that sounds yet how untrue it is!
Once there may have been time when American
mothers sent their out to fight for their homes
but none every voluntarily relinquished them to
protect foreign SOIL
In the last analysis women never give" their
sons. Those sons are taken, dragged from maternal
arms, and the pretty words we use to cover UP an
ugly action must not go unnoticed either
There is no foundation for the statement that
women of the United States willingly watched their
men leave for France in 1917 Men originated the
sentences by which we were beguiled into accepting
the fact Part of the business of the war machine
is the nventor of words to hide the ugliness of the
whole filthy And the real pathos of war is
not the suffering and death it brings but the man.
ner in which resign ourselves to such suffering
and death for the sake of heroic phrases Like shiny
ceophane disgusting prurient goods noble language
wraps up our greed.
Figures speak louder than words Regard these
which were recently compiled in Washington:
Grand total of regular appropriation for ma
tional defense-983 millions
To maintain State Department-19 millions
Nc number of words can bridge the gap between
our intelligence and stupidity at this point And if
our heads are on straight no sentimental gush will
make us believe that American mothers ever did or
ever VIII give their to fight in European wars

Il articles referring to Adolf Hitler, the former

This is a strange attitude to take in America
where proud that boy rise from bare

One should have contempt for Hitler because
he is willing to be dictator and deny his fellow

OTHER OPINION
On Electricity

IDavid E. LilienthaI. director of TyAI
No one should forget for a mo-
ment the nature of the business of
supplying electricity. for it is the
essentially public character of cleo
tricity that is at the heart of your
effort over these years to provide
this service for your citizens. Elec-
tricity is not like any ordinary
business. It has long been recog-
nized--in the courts, in the legis-
latures, and by public opinion
that electricity is public business,
whether that service is rendered by
a private corporation or by a pub
lie agency.
AS the United States Supreme
Court said many years ago, speak
ing of public utility: Though
the corporation was private, its
work was public, as much so as if
it were constructed by the state.

u brand of cheese, in America, is
Cheddar, which is the ordinary
brick cheese. Then there are also
cottage cheese, cream cheese,

The materials of importance that
cheese has to offer are well utilized
by the body. Cheese has had a
bad reputation because of the diff

be remembered that cheese usually
is eaten at hours other than meal
time, or at the end of meal which
in itself may be more than suffi-
cient.
If eaten as part of meal and
well chewed, cheese is just as di-

In addition, physicians have an
important role in advising industry
to offer more helpful share to the

roses bears an inverse ratio to the
interest in the work"
