things are facts. They exist. They
are the realities of the ScOttsborO
case"
This writer believes that the LID
has done much for the Scottsboro
boys. He believes its efforts have
been sincere even though it has
not neglected to turn them to the
prestige of the organization. If
the LID can be convinced of the
truth of Mr.. Groves contentious
as ably set forth in his quoted
comment, he believes the LID has
done enough to prove It's good
faith and could in fairness to itself
and to the Scottsboro boys step
aside and permit a reluctant south
to free these victims in it's own
face saving way. But can the LID
be so convinced? We doubt it.

Records Carved on Cliff.

More names, dates and records
of achievements are carved in the
rocky cliffs of the Dog river near
Beirut, Syria, than in any other
spot on earth, writes Corwin c.
Roach, Gambler, Ohio, in Golfers
Weekly. For the past 5000 years
this gorge has been a fertile pass
for armies marching between At
RIGA and the East and few conquer
ors, from the pharaOhs Of Egypt
to the marshals of France, have
failed to leave inscriptions on it's
rocks.

COMMENT
By w. M. SMITH

Seldom has a group of people
enjoyed themselves more than did
the elder ones who were the guests
at the annual dinner given them
by Miss w. Gertrude Brown and
the Phyllis Wheatley auxiliary at
this settlement house on last Sat-
urday. They enjoyed the fine
Christmas dinner, the carol sing
ing, an entertaining stage show,
and best of all the very attentive
care given by the younger women
who waited upon them and the
comforting experience of social
contacts many had not had since
the dinner of last year. Phyllis
does nothing more satisfactory
during the year.
Miss Naomi Upton, 4405 Lyndale
Avenue South, presented for the
delighted guest a puppet show, the
best / have ever seen. Young
women of our group who feel that
they are not given a fair OppOr-
tunity should note the example of
this 26 year old girl who for ten
years has earned a good living and
had a good time, too, with this
puppet show which she designed
and presents all alone. Miss Up
ton, assisted on this occasion by
her sister, Virginia, receives $1,000
for q 45 minute engagement, but
on Saturday donated her show for
the pleasure of the Phyllis guests.
Churches and others may contact
Miss Upton by calling Regent

we know how much the Sunday
School lessons mean to our readers.
Father COughlin's radio address
of last Sunday, will, we predict,
make friends for his cause among
many millions of hearers. He pro-
tested in behalf of labor. He de-
clared that cutting wages and re-
ducing employment would never
succeed in increasing buying power,
the only remedy for present con-
ditions. And we agree with him.
While the Rev. COughlin did not
intend it, it strikes us that he made
a most effective plea for the Town
send plan for this method would
at once put into circulation many
millions of dollars each month, the
spending of which would search
out and bolster every kind and con-
ditiOn of business. 1t would weak

bankers against whom Father
COughlin and his national security
organization are directing their
bitterest attacks.
John Temple Graves, "the most
liberal columnist in all the south,
is quoted by the Pittsburgh
Courier as saying: 1.-TWO things
are obvious to anyone near enough
the scene to know the situation
and objective enough to admit
what he sees. One is that no Ala
bama jury is likely to let the In
ternatiOnal Labor Defense or any
other COmmunistic organization
win a famous victory. Another is
that, rightly or wrongly, so much
resentment of outside interference
has been created that no Alabama
jury is likely to let any outside
lawyer win a victory, particularly
if he comes from New York. This
point applies against Samuel s
LeibOwitz and there are other and
more personal ones against him as
well. 1t isn't necessary, either, to
approve or to disapprOve. These

SEC Opens Investigation of
New Workers. Alleged
Market Rigging.

by CHItGU fTGSS
WASHINGTON, May Discharges
that the Securities Exchange Act of
1894 is unconstitutional have been
made by attorneys for Charles c.
Wright, New York broker charged
with market rigging.
The SEC inquiry opened before
Edward G. johnson, an officer of
the commission. Isidore Kresel, at
torney for the accused broker, asked
for dismissal on the grounds that
the SEC act is unconstitutional.
Wright is threatened with sus-
pension or expulsion from five of
the nations major exchanges of
which he is a member.
In it's order to show cause why
Wright should not have his trading
privileges, the commission said it
had treason to believe that during
the period beginning on or about
June /, 1885, and continuing
through February, Wright, for the
purpose of creating a false and mis-
leading appearance of active trad
ing" in Kinner' Airplane and Motor
Corp. common stock, fused the
mails, divers means and instrument
talities of interstate commerce, to
enter divers quarters for the pur-
chase of said securities, with knowl-
edge that orders of substantially the
same size, at substantially the same
time, and at substantially the same
price would be entered.
The stock is registered on the Los
Angeles Stock Exchange under the
1884 act.

SOUTHERN CITY
FINDS J0BLESS
ARE INCREASING
Private Industry Accused
of Reducing Number
of Employees.

By Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
KNOXVILLE, TENN, May &c.
Private industry is making no dent
in Knoxvilles unemployed.
Relief workers say the number on
relief is growing.
Knoxville has approximately 49,
600 families. OF them, 5000 are
listed as unemployed and 500 as un-
employable. OF the unemployed,
4400 are at work on WPA and other
government projects.
Clarence Holland, executive vice
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, said the increase in employ
ment has been most among clerical
workers. IVA, with some 1900 en-
ployed here, accounts for that.
Unemployables Increasing
( Miss Louise Dignall, head Of the
city's Family Welfare Bureau, which
cares for the unemployables, said
the situation is very serious and is
getting worse.
THE number of unemployables is

in families served by this bureau.
Even if industry threw it's doors
wide open, relief rolls for years
would be crowded with the physi-
cally unfit"
The National unemployment
Service reported there had been no
decrease in its relief rolls since it
opened Offices here more than a year
ago.
Since the scrapping of MIRA by the
Supreme Court many of the mer-
camille establishments have discon-
tinued the short work hours which
during NRA furnished additional
jobs. The general policy now is to
work as few people as possible.

flation. And, If imitation, how will
1t come about? And why?
For one thing, the initiation
thus far has been generated
wholly by government loans.
There has been literally no ex-
pansion of private credit. Bank
loans, are lower, certainly no
higher, than year ago and less
than in 1888. Long term issues
involving new funds are negli-
IF government borrowing were to
Il cease, the infationary push
would cease-at least for the time
icing. Now then, will government
borrowing cease?
Here we are of course in the
domain Of political prophecy which
is a slippery terrain. But there are
some factors which we can see.
For one thing there is a rising tide
Of resistance in Congress to gov
eminent borrowing. Many members
of Congress are frankly frightened
at the phenomenon. They can not
see where it may lead. While they
submit under pressure to schemes
like the bonus and the Frazier
Lemke farm redemption bill, they
are definitely afraid of these
things.
There is, therefore, going to be
some resistance to increasing
spending and a good deal of pres
sure to reduce it. In this, Congress
is going to be in line with the
President who, I am told, is def
nitely afraid of further spending.
What spending he does will be
done under pressure.
However, government spending
will not and can not be completely
abandoned as an emergency meas
IRE. But it is entirely possible that
the President. when the election
is over, is going to set about trim
ming down expenditures and look
ing toward taxation to raise the
funds.
IF the government adopts the
Il British plan-if it resorts to
taxation of any sort to raise the
funds which it will spend for re-
covery-then the effect will be
definitely deflationary. Of this
there can be no doubt And there
can be little doubt that this is
what Washington is thinking
about.
But it would be very foolish to
suppose that this is what is go
ing to happen. The voice of pro-
test and demand may rise up from
farmers and workers and all sorts
of people clamoring for money.
And while Congress is afraid to
borrow much more, it is far more
afraid of the embattled farmers
and workers and subsidy hunters
of all sorts.
The result is on the lap of the
gods. But no one should put de-
flation or at least attempted de-
f1ation out of his mind as one of
the possible alternatives.

SILVER POLICY
REPEAL URGED

Group Sees No Benefits
From U. S. Purchases
of Metal.

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 26.-Abandon-
ment of the Administration silver
purchase program as both waste
full and harmful" has been recon-
mended by 81 members of the Econ
omists' National Committee on
Monetary Policy.
The committee, in a recon-
mendation to Congress, held that
the program was damaging inter-
national trade and urged the prompt
repeal of the broad silver remoneti-
zation powers delegated to President
Roosevelt.
THE consequences of the Admin
iStration's silver program, in both
its phases-that is, under the Lon
don agreement and the silver pur-
chasing act-fulflll the predictions
made by their committee two years
ago." the statement said. -
Calls Program Wasteful S'r
"The American silver policy. by
adding to the uncertainty as to the
value of the dollar and thereby
limiting prospects for currency staL
biliZation and the benefits which
would accrue therefrom, has been
damaging to international trade and
finance. Neither the economic nor
the monetary situation in the
United States has been benefited by
this silver purchase policy.
After acquiring approximately
853 100000 ounces of silver las Of
Jan. Is, 1880 at artificially high
prices, thus diluting our currency
base with a cheap metal, our gov
eminent is hardly any nearer than
before to its goal of a 1-to-3 ratio be-
tween the monetary silver and gold.
1T should be amply clear by this
time that the program not only
serves no useful purpose, but, on the
contrary, is both wasteful and
harmful"
