New York To Make A
Study of Silicosis

ALBANY.-State Industrial Com
missioner Elmer F. Andrews today an
nounced the appointment Of an adj
visory committee on control of silica
dust in rock drilling, the first meeting
OF which will take place in the State
Labor offices at 80 Centre Street, New
York City, on Thursday, July 30th.
This committee is to make a com
prehensive study of and recommends
tons on dust collecting and eradicatine
devices, and rules and regulations for
the prevention Of dust disease hazards
in industry in New York state. The
findings and recommendations of the
advisory committee will be made to the
Industrial Board of the State Depart
ment of Labor which will take action
upon them relative to their incorpora-
ton in the Industrial Code, whereupon,
with the approval of the Industrial
Commissioner they would become in
effect a state law. Appointment Of the
advisory committee on control of Silica
dust in rock drilling is but one step
taken by the Industrial Commissioner
in administering the so-called silicosis
legislation enacted by the 1886 Legis-
lature. Similar advisory committees on

the 65-year provision effective October l the
number of pensioners will be doubled and the
total outlay for pensions will reach at least
$780, 1000, 1000. OF this amount, the Federal Gov
eminent will contribute one-half, New York
State rs per cent, and the various commune
ties Is per cent.
Organized labor firmly holds that as a mat
ter Of social justice the eligibility age for re-
ceiving old-age pension should be reduced much
below the 70-year point. The 65-year limit in
the Federal Social Security Act was a reflec-
ton of this principle. 1t is to be hoped that
all the other States with the 70-year limit will
not wait the expiration of the five-year period
set up by the Federal Act for adjustment to
IS years, but will follow the action of the New
York State Legislature and promptly make all
INDECENT aged who are IS years of age eligible
for Federal State pensions to protect them
from want.

Report ON Bank Failures

Immediately following his Inauguration on
March 4, 1888, President Roosevelt issued an
executive order closing banks throughout the
United States pending the determination Of
their s~olvency and the safety of depositors'
savings which the bank owners had borrowed
with the promise to repay on demand or af-
ter suitable notice.
From time to time the solvent banks were
permitted to reopen. Over four hundred were
found to be i~nsolvent and unsafe and were
thrown into bankruptcy and receiverships,
with losses running into millions of dollars
for the depositors.
J. F. T.. O'Connor, Comptroller of the Cur
rency, under whose direction the receiverships
have been handled, reports that, up to July 81,
a total Of 378 of these receiverships had been
closed out and ~ Of the closed banks restor-
ed to s~olvency.
1t will be news to most people that banks
have two classes of depositors secured de-
positors and unsecured depositors. When a
bank fails, the secured depositors have pre-
~ferential status with regard to the bank as
sets, while unsecured depositors, made up lar
gely of the masses, are entitled to a much
smaller proportionate share of the bank funds.
Comptroller O'Connor reports that in the 420
banks in receivership unsecured depositors
have received only 1894 per cent Of their
claims, They would have received a much
larger percentage if the bankers had not given
the secured depositors the right to dip into the
failed banks assets first before the unsecured
depositors were given the least consideration.
Now that 378 of the banks which were
thrown into receiverships in 1888 have been
liquidated and gone out of business, it would
be a good time for Comptroller O'Connor to
make a detailed report as to the specific caus-
es for the failure of each bank. Thrifty people
throughout the United States were advised
over and over again prior to the time when
these 378 banks crashed to entrust their funds
to the bank owners for safekeeping. Comp
troller O'Conner has the detailed information
as to the manner in which these bankers liv-
ed up to their responsibility whether the
millions of depositors were defrauded of their
savings by financial stupidity or by criminal
recklessness which the bankers exhibited in
their handling Of other peoples money. He
should make the information public.

Improvement in Old-Age
Pension Systems

Under many State old-age pension laws en-
acted in recent years destitute persons must
be 70 years of age before they are entitled to
pension benefits. The old-age pension sec
ton of the Federal Social Security Act fixes
S. years as the age at which persons shall re-
ceive pensions in States accepting the Cover
nment assistance provided by the Act, with
the modification that States with laws fixing
the eligibility age at more than IS years will
be given five years to adjust the age require
ment to the standard set by the Federal stat
ute.
The salutary effects of the 65-year provi-
sion are shown in a recent statement by David
c.. Adie, Commissioner Of the New York De-
partment of Social Welfare, in explaining the
results of the law passed by the last session
of the New York Legislature reducing the
eligibility age from 70 to IS years.
Pointing out that under the present 70-year
requirement 10000 persons are paid an aver
age of $21 monthly, Mr.. Adie said that under

Those Dirty Conservatives

When we read OF the Conservatives of today
who counsel against rocking the boat" and
who d%enounce all "untried experiments" as i'm
moral, unsound, unethical, and un-American, we
are reminded Of the bathtub.
The first bathtub was used in America in 1912.
Two years later a law prohibiting the taking Of a
bath between November and March was de-
feated in Philadelphia by only two votes. Vir-
ginia put a tax of $50 on each bathtub owned.
In Boston a law was passed to forbid bathing in
a tub without a medical order; but it was never
enforced, and was repealed in 1852. Today
there are nearly two bathtubs to every automo-
bile.
And now, look at 'eml Even Tories are using
them.-American Guardian.

Undermining Justice

A Judge at Pontiac the other day permitted
eleven confessed kidnappers and floggers to
walk out of court free men, without sentence
or suspended sentence, without being register
ed at the jail before arraignment, without be-
ing fingerprinted, without even being booked
for any offense.
The courts excuse was that they were
leading citizens" and that their mere appear
ance in the courtroom was adequate punish
ment.
The attorney for the felons excused their
crime: "These men took the law into their
own hands," he said, "but they did not des-
troy any property. They did do a little flog-
ging."
The crime had not been investigated when
it occurred and a to light FIVE YEARS
LATER only because of a grand jury investiga-
ton into Black Legion activities.
MP. The press reports from Pontiac declared
tina the crime had no connection with the
Black Legion and that the three unemployed
workingmen that were flogged were com
munist sympathizers'' or "alleged commun-
lists"
The facts are that these three men were
neither communists, alleged communists nor
communist sympathizers, they were members
of an unemployed citizens league such as
existed here in Lansing with a membership of
more than 1880 at about the same time. The
sole purpose Of their organization and the sole
"crime" for which they we're flogged was seek
ing to force the misery Of the unemployed up
on the attention of public officials and to OBJ
tain relief.
If last weeks court incident in Pontiac is
to end the record of this case then Michigan's
record stands thus: 1T IS NO CRIME IN THIS
STATE TO KIDNAP AND FLOG SO LONG
AS THE VICTIMS ARE WORKINGMEN
SEEKING TO ORGANIZE THEIR FELLOWS
AND THE THUGS ARE COMMUNITY LEA
DERS."
But if there were a man in the Governors
chair that record would not stand long. In
stead, Judge Milton F.. Cooney, of Pontiac,
would be promptly removed from office.

The present advisory committee must
first arrive at a definition of what CON

rive at a definition of what constitutes
a harmful dust as we'll as what consti-
tutes a harmful air content of such dust
as are determined as harmful. Formu-
lation OF these definitions will doubt

drafted from the medical representa-
tives on the general advisory commit

functions of the advisory committee
will be the detailed study Of dust col
