PARADE PROCLAMATION

In view of the fact that the regular

Dreaming is good medicine for any
body, but there's no use dreaming just
to pass the time away. You've gotta
make those dreams come true, and the
only way to do that is to have confidence
in yourself and not let anybody dis
courage you.
Discouragement doesn't originate with
the guy who has made good, because he,
himself doesn't know what discourage
ment means. It's the sap who thinks
the world owes him a living who is a
past master hanging the crepe.
The trouble with most of us is that
we're in too big hurry to reach the
top of the heap and if we don't get
there in dOuble-quick time, we throw off
the water wings.
And always remember this: Henry
didn't make fortune on the first Ford
car.

Dreams, sometimes, come true.
Many, many years ago, l attended a
party and there signed a little book
handed me by the hostess. If I remem-
Der correctly, it was called Dream
Book" The idea was, of course, to write
down in the book, just what your goal
was in life, and lot of other things
you wanted to do before the bell rang
and you were counted out
The idea was unique and / spent a
little while over what the rest of the
gang who preceded me, dreamed about.
I remember some of 'em.
One wanted to be q lawyer; another
wanted to see California before he was
carried to his corner; another was anx
ious to become doctor; another wanted
to be a merchant; others craved to be
dentists, statesmen and brokers' AS for
the female of the species they had high
ideas. Only one wanted to marry a guy
and have a lot of children. She was
frank, and she said she loved 'em. But
for the most part they wanted yachts,
a town and country home, imousines,
and the usual motion picture stuff.
I probably would have forgotten about
that Dream Book" if I hadn't met
the girl few days ago, who wanted
those flock of kids. And in reviewing,
mentally, the batting averages of all of
'em, figure she is one of three who
finished the season with an average of
1000 per cent. She has five, and you
must admit that that, is fair shake
for our Uncle Sam.
The guy who wanted to be a lawyer
got his diploma, so he is now in the
money. Of course, he has big head
and seldom gives me the nod, but I
don't hate him for that / pity a bird
who doesn't know any better than cast
snake eyes at his old friends. Anyway
his sheep-skin is on display, and it's on
record that he got it by hard study, so
score two for the Dream Book"
Number three to register was the girl
who craved home in the town, and a.
home in the country, with a limousine
and husband with a sack of sheckles
thrown in for luck. AS far as all these
items are concerned. she clicked. but
she's welcome to 'em. It's worth all
she snaged to go through life with the
sap she married.
AS for the others, they ended up in

45 Washington Theatres
Sign with M. p. M. @. u.

Washington, D. C. (AFLNS)-For-
ty-five theatres in and near the Dis
trict of Columbia have just signed
a new agreement with Moving Pic
ture Machine Operators Local Union
No. 224. These include all theatres
of all kinds catering to white patrons,
among them two fine new neighbor-
hood movie houses. Peaceful negotia-
tions between the various managers
of groups and individual theatres and
representatives of the union resulted
in victory of which any union might
well feel proud.
Moving Picture Machine Operators
Auxiliary No. 224 is continuing me-
gotiations with the arrangements of
II movie houses and one combination
vaudeville and movie catering to col
ored patrons for renewal of agree
ments. All theatres in this territory
except two that cater to colored
patrons, are now employing union
moving picture machine operators.

THE CONVERSION OF
THE NAM

The New York Times put the follow
ing paragraph at the head of its
article on industry and the New
Deal:
The National Association of Man
ufacturers meeting here dropped its
fight on the administration and agreed
to cooperate to end unemployment
throughout the nation"
Labor and the administration should
trust the protestations of the NAM
just about the time that they give
full confidence to copperhead snake.
The NAM has been bitterly anti
union all its life. 1t supported the
robber schedules of the Smoot-Hawl-
ley tariff. 1t fought against every
effort to get federal relief for the
unemployed. 1t fights every proposal
to increase wages. It's members,
with no rebuke from their organiza-
ton, staged and carried out the pecul-
iarly lousy pay roll swindle" in the
last days of the campaign to scare
workers into voting against the ad-
ministration. Now, utterly beaten and
discredited, it drops its fight
When the devil was sick, the devil
saint would be.
When the devil got well, the devil
saint was he.

ANOTHER COMPANY UNION
EXPOSED

The National Labor Relations
Board has performed a distinct public
service in exposing the real character
of the plan of employe representation
which the United States Steel Cor
poration imposes on its employees and
the employees of its subsidiaries. The
autocratic character of this com
pany union was revealed by the board
in a complaint charging the Steel
Corporation and it's wholly-owned
subsidiary, the Carnegie Illinois Steel
Corporation, with having interfered
with the self-organization of their
employees in the latter's II plants.
The board specifically charges that

ucts. Those resolutions just scratched
the surface.
There needs to be much more of
that Labor dollars need to go to
fair products-to products whose
makers do not stand across the road
like hogs, blocking traffic in stupidity.
You can scare the tripe out of an
editor by having a dozen kicking let
ters written to him. Nobody knows
why, but it is so.
You can scare the daylights out
of almost any outfit by steering
few dollars away from his door.
Nothing is more frightful to busi-
ness than dollar that passes by the
door thumbing its nose as it goes,
Supporting foes is like eating
dynamite 1t doesn't even taste good.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1886
WANTED--A LAW THAT WILL
START HOUSING

Banks in New York city are board
ing up tenement properties rather
than comply with the fire retarding
and sanitary provisions of the null
tiple dwelling law. Mrs. Anna L. Gold
stein, neighborhood worker of Madi-
son House, tells how this is affecting
the people who cannot afford better
quarters.
'Fifty-fve houses have been
boarded up recently by the Citizens
Savings Bank, the Drydock Savings
Institution, and the Bowery Savings
Bank. The number of houses that
take tenants in this rent scale, say $12
to $22, is very limited, and the
have few places to turn"
She says further that owners who
do comply with the law are raising
their rents.
If any country ever needed hous-
ing program, put through on ma
tional scale with the smallest possible
loss of time, that country is the
United States of America. Our
slums scandalize European visitors.
The passing of the depression has
stopped some of the disgraceful crowd
ing that marked the poorer quarters
of our cities a few years ago; but the
central evil Of lack of decent, low
cost housing remains.
We shall never get low-cost housing
for the multitude until we adopt either
modified Henry George plan of land
tax, or the essentials of the British
slum clearance law. When an area
is declared slum, all improvements
on it lose value, except for salvage.
Inc government wrecks the area. Ii
the salvage more than pays the cost
Of wrecking, the government sends the
landlord check for the difference. If
the salvage fails to pay the cost of
wrecking, the landlord sends the gov
ernment check for the difference.
Then the land is valued at its worth
for lowcost housing mo realtors with
grand schemes need appIy-and the
dwellings are built.
We have every requisite Of decent
housing in greater abundance than
England has them, except one; and
that is law to end the autocracy Of
the landlord 1t is high time to be-
gin thinking about that.

An outstanding event of world in
terest was the reception of President
Roosevelt in Buenos Aires.
1t is useless to try to improve the
work of hundred star reporters who
have given us word pictures of that
event. Boiled to the simplest possi-
BILE statement, Roosevelt got recep
ton which left completely in the shade
all previous demonstrations in honor
of visitor. He rose to the occasion,
and today, unless all signs fail, the
most influential man in the world is
Franklin d. Roosevelt.
He is using that power for peace in
the western hemisphere-and in the
world. In his address, he said that
while living together in peace on this
continent:
"We stand shoulder to shoulder in
our final determination that others
who, driven by war madness or land
hunger, might seek to commit acts of
aggression against US, will find a
hemisphere wholly prepared to con-
suit together for our mutual safety
and our mutual good"
| That passage will bear reading over
many times; especially in Rome and
Berlin.
Beyond the ocean, Roosevelt also
said, I'VE see continents rent asundel
by old hatreds and new fanaticisms.
We hear the cry that new markets
can be achieved only by conquest 4.
The people of four nations, unlike th'
people of many nations who live under
other forms of government, can ane
will insist on their intention to liv'
in peace.

Democracy is still the hope of the
world"
The president did not mention Fas-
cism or Naziism; but he made it clear
that he loathes both.
Someone has blundered abonlinably
when scenes like that of the eviction
of WPA workers from the art projects
center in New York city can take
place Men and women, objecting to
dismissal and so far as is known with
no jobs to go to, were dubbed and
kicked by the police, carried out bodily,
dragged out by the collars. Twelve
were injured, and one seems to have
suffered fractured skull; and eleven
patrol wagons, filled with WPA work
ers, carried their freight to Jail.
That is the way the steel barons
"quell an uprising The WPA work
ers committed the crime of staying
in the building when ordered to get
out A little patient, reasonable per.

The people of the United State

offered no violence to anyone. Some
