GOVERNOR LANDON ORDERED TROOPS
TO BREAK MINERS KANSAS STRIKE
Defeated Purpose of Union to
Better Conditions and More
Pay.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-@Our analy-
sis OF Candidate L.andon's labor record
stands without qualifications, regard
less Of candidates attempt to convince
Mr.. Norman Thomas OF his purity OF
intentions regarding the efforts OF the
wage-earners to bring about self or
ganization and improvement in their
conditions said Major George L.
Berry, president of Labor's Non-Par-
tisan League this morning at league
headquarters in the Willard hotel.
1T is another noteworthy fact that
nowhere does Candidate Landon use
the term collective bargaining That
is what all organization Of labor leads
tot is the goal of organization. We
know that Candidate Landon meant ex-
actly what he said when, in his ac-
ceptance speech, he declared that men
be free from coercion, even by
their fellow employees. He meant there
must be an absolutely clear road for
formation of company unions, which
are owned, financed and controlled by
the employers.

and most outstanding distress is (Idle.
ness due to the fact that we are be-
ing neglected by Union Brothers who
are not patronizing our products which
are Union Made. Therefore our
two plants the Radiator and Enameling

Union Members are not demanding pro-
ducts that bear this label. Our two
plants are recognized 100 Per Cent in
this industry. But nevertheless we are
handicapped as we must compete
against starvation wages and policies
of the Open Shop.
We also want to inform You that
our Company's Products bear the name

Editors Note:
1t would seem to a layman hat if
there is such importance between pro-
prietary and governmental functions Of
a city, the difference between the two
should be more clearly defined and
should not be left to depend upon the
notions of individual members of the
court. The legislature evidently be-
lieved that the maintenance Of an ad-
equate fire department by a city is a
governmental function, else it would
not have passed the law in question,
The view of the legislature in that
regard should be binding and the courts
should not substitute their judgment
for that Of the legislature.
1t seems preposterous to a layman
to assume that a fireman while on
duty, but awaiting a call to attend a
fire is clothed in a different garb leg
ally that when he is actually fighting
a fire. To us it would seem that these
are but technical differences which
have too long been used by the courts
to defeat labor's rights.

Now let us try to hold Candidate
Landon to a factual basis regarding the
use Of troops in the Southeastern Kan
sas lead mine strike. He did order out
troops. That is not disputed. Kansas
labor declares the action was at the in
stigation of the mine owners, not the
sheriff. Under cover of the state troops
a company union was formed. Under
cover Of the troops strike breakers
were sent into the mines. So effec-
tive was the governors strike break

ably supported by Candidate Landon's

TN THE battle-ground" Oppincott; 50 Hilaire
Il BeIoc has look at the fundamentals of Euro
pean history from the vantage ground of Syria
Syria, he declares, since the dawn of history has
been the focal point of the great struggle between
the Asiatic and European conceptions of human
society 1t has been the greatest of all gateways to
Asia; on its windswept hills the east and the west
have fought for mastery over and over.
This being so, Syria must be worth examining.
Mr.. Belloc proceeds to examine it, and writes
highly interesting book while doing so.
The great civilizations OF the Euphrates and the
Tigrs communicated with Egypt and the Mediter-
ranean world across Syria, thousands of years ago.
Alexander struck at the east through Syria. Later
on, Rome went to Syria to make secure her eastern
frontier.
This eternal blowing of the SOIL says Mr.. Belloc,
prepared the land that it could give the world its
great gift, the Christian religion. 1t made this
gift and thereby changed the face of the world and
then few centuries later Asia swept back in an ir-
resstibe tide. 1t thrust the west back, and Syria
became Asiatic again until Alenby took British
army into Jerusalem in 1917.
All this great span Of history from the days OF
Abraham to the present moment, is covered in this
book. With it comes again Mr.. Belloc's plea for q
united Christian civilization in the Occiden: plea
that takes added force from his exposition OF that
civiliza~on's background. (By Bruce Catton)

range Of technical administrative and sales require
ments
FOREIGNERS sometimes see our characteristics
l. more sharply than we do ourselves. The former
Spanish ambassador at Washington Salvador De
Madariaga aims his spyglass at us in the Forum
magazine:
1.-The average American knows by instinct when
machine must be strapped, man fired, business
method given up But he is utterly incapable OF see
ing that the Constitution of his country must be
radically changed. His locomotives live about 10
years; his warships 20. But his century and-a-haf
old Constitution goes grinding and whining on up
the stiff gradients of politics and economics with
just barely enough energy to spit out an unpleasant
amendment but not to adjust its tottering steps to
the jazz of modern economics"
Perhaps the ambassador exaggerates the alert
ness of American business and the weaknesses
of the Constitution. But he does succeed in dra-
matizng the contrast between hard-boiled common
sense with which American goes at his business
affairs and his mythical worship of the past in gov
ernmental affairs.
Or, as Prof. Thurman Arnold puts it in his Sym
bols of Government: The principles Of Washing
tons farewell address are still sources OF wisdom
when cures for social ills sought. The methods
of Washingtons physician, however, are no longer
studied"
. OOSEVELT, recognizing that the art of govern
IN ment is civilizations most backward child,
sought with his brain trust to introduce into
ment some of the objective intelligence which has
been applied to the sciences and other phases of life
1t has not been particularly successful experiment
although as in any pioneering effort a large margin
OF error must be allowed.
In turning now to private industry with an appeal
to cooperate in tackling the stubborn unemploy-
ment problem. which has not yielded automatically
to recovery Mr.. Roosevelt is in effect asking bus-
to apply to it the same cooperative inteIi-
gence which has been applied successfully to its
more immediate affairs particularly in the field of
productive capacity.
What we have in unemployment is a tonsil case
focal point OF infection which posons our whole
system. The tonss have to come out If the oper-
alton beyond the capacity of private business ex

washington Merry-Go-Round

VXIASTIINGTON, March 90
w Although it will not be
admitted officially, the present
high unemployment figure, with
the continuing necessity for Fed
eral relief, is one of the keenest
personal disappointments expert
enced by the President.
He had set his heart on going
before the country in June and
announcing that unemployment
had disappeared and the relief
problem virtually had ended. He
was convinced that unemployment
rolls could be brought down to
100000, which is low compared
to the number normally out of
work in this country.
AT no time, however, did his
close advisers agree with him.
Harry Hopkins, who faced the job
of employing 100000 men, never
thought the total of unemployed
could be reduced below 100000,
or 100000. ct now stands be-
tween 100000 and 12,000000)
But the President would not
accept such pessimistic figures.

Prevailing winds of Indianap-
oils, says j. H. Armingtcn, U. S.
Weather Bureau head, blow from
the south and southwest. Smoke
and smogs travel, many times
from the southwest toward the
north and northeast, as well as
the northwest.
The station at Massachusetts,
av and Rural-st shows, it is said,
high Sootfall due not only to the
wind direction, but to industries
and railroads nearby.
The low sootfall at 29th and
Harding-sts can be attributed to
the few industries in the River
side Park area. AT times, the city's
smogs drift toward that sector but
lose their density, and much of
their smoke-laden particles fall in
high sootfall areas such as w.
Michigan-st and Sheffield-av.
CMOG, combination of smoke
~ and fog, is induced, Mr.. Arm
ington says, by high barometer
accompanied by high pressure
field with the wind dropping in
velocity to two miles an hour or
less. The surface air has little
lateral movement and the wind is
too slow to carry away the smoke
as fast as it is spewed into the
air.
indianapolis smogs occur in
the latter part of the night as
smoke combined with fog becomes
so dense that a full complement
of electric lights are needed in the
downtown area. Those VINO live in
the affected areas arise to dark,
gloomy, damp-feeling mornings
with sometimes the disagreeable
smelly odor of exploded gunpow-
der; while those living in the SUBJ
urbS are invigorated by a clear,
snappy atmosphere. Passage from
one area to another is marked like
passing into or emerging from a
long tunnel" says Mr.. Arlington.

Expensive textiles, costumes and
fabrics of oriental and other

boxed up instead of on display to
prevent damage. Silk and brocades
suffer from SCOT and dust. The
