 discussion in a committee of the whole and finally turned it over to Social Security committee headed by Leo w. Rogge of the Fourth, The discussion centered around the amount which should be allowed for pensions. Effort was made to fix it at $45 per month maximum. If the Legislature adopts co-relating legislation with the Federal. act, the Federal government will pay half of the pension amount up to $50 per month, or a maximum amount of SIS per month. If $45 per month was set as a figure, the Territory would pay $30 and the Federal government SIS. The pres ent pension average runs between s25 and $27 per month.

Labor relations in the shipping in

terized by IAN unenlightened attitude
on the part of employer and employe.
Long Hours Fostered'
"The employer, for his part has
fostered long hours, low wages and
cramped quarters. The employe,
meanwhile, has abused his employ
ment in manner that would not be
tolerated in any other industry
The study asserts that the owners
themselves were in no small measure
responsible for the conditions, because
of the way they had treated their
crews.
The rebuilding of the merchant ma
rine, the study continued, depends on
great improvement in the labor sit
uation, restoration of discipline
aboard various vessels and better liv-
ing conditions for the seamen.

PRESIDENT STARTS
Drive For Big Housing
Program

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) Presi-
dent Roosevelt is out in the open for
a nationwide housing drive, which
he has been working on behind the
scenes for weeks and perhops months
The aim is to get private funds en-
listed in the work, though many of
the aims can be achieved only by
government action. A sort Of work
ing committee is surveying the possi-
bilities, consisting of:
Robert f. Wood, of Sears, Roebuck;
Gerard Swope, of General Electric,
Henry c. Turner, Of the construction
company of that name; S. S. Colt, Of
the Bankers Trust Co. of New York;
Mariner S. Eccles, of the Federal Re-
serve Board; j. NJ Dagger, special
assistant to the board; Isador Lubin
of the Bureau Of Labor Statistics; and
he just can't be left out Edward F..
McGrady.
Five Point Program
Five points are given in the plan,
as follows:
Allow the federal housing admins
tration to guaranty mortgages up to
80 per cent of the cost instead Of so.
Cut interest rates guaranteed by
FHA to fiat 5 per cent, with no com
mission.
Raise the limit of FILA guarantees
from $4,000 as now to 100000.
Cut costs of materials by all meas
ures from persuasion to vigorous
drive to enforce anti trust laws.
For Higher Annual Wage
Cut labor costs by guaranteeing
building trades workers an annual
wage considerably higher than their
actual earnings now. 1t must be clear
to everyone that labor would never
take such a guarantee unless under
written by the federal government,
and running for long term.
A real housing boom, a boom, that is,
in buildings, not in prices, probably
would do more to stabilize good times
than any other single thing.

HOW FASCISM COMES

(From Electrical Workers. JournaD
In this day of rapid changes, it is
well to remember how fascism comes.
1. A magnetic leader arises who
hypnotizes the mob. He wins its loyal
ty.
2. A magnetic leader makes glow
ing promises which he does not hope
to fulfill and which appear to promise
a better standard of living for the
underlying population.
3. A magnetic leader urges the
pressure. of mob tactics to destroy
every liberal agency in his nation.
4. A mob rejoices and feels that a
new day is being created because the
old democratic forms are being de-
stroyed They expect Utopia; they
adulate the magnetic leader.
5. The leader rides into greater
power. He becomes all powerful He
now betrays the mob. He refuses to
institute the reforms that he prom
ised to bring the better day.
6. He conceals the rapidly falling
standard Of living behind cannon.
He waves the flag. He pounds his
chest He gives the people words in
stead of bread Their emotions are
aroused They are beguiled
The labor movement is a democratic
movement. 1t must have leaders, but
it must not follow leaders blindly. It
mbust keep open the avenues of self
expression Above all else, it must
think raher than merely feel.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-A 600,-
900 word study of the American mer
chant marine situation has been made
public by Joseph P. Kennedy, chair
man of the maritime commission. It
recommends, among other things:
The establishment of marine labor
act, modelled on the present railway
labor act, and with board having
powers like those of the National
Mediation Board. q
A subsidy to shipping, which when
building and operating gifts are both
included, will not be less than from
$2O,o0O,ooO to $30,o00,000 a year.
Training System Advocated
On both these counts, the report
shows that the maritime commission
knows how thorny subject it is ham
ding Disorders on American ships
come in for sharp comment; and a
system of training crews in what
amounts to naval discipline is ap-
proved.
On the other hand, the report de-
clared plainly that "the history Of
the United States in subsidized ship
ping has been most unfortunate"
"The brutal truth is that the Amer
ican merchant marine has been living
off the fat for the past Is years. We
have been subsisting upon the war
built fleet That fleet is now nearing
the end of its useful life"
Labor Conditions "Disgracefur'
In addition to obsolete equipment,
the shipping industry is further handi-
capped by its labor troubles, the re-
port says. The experts who made the
study obtained interviews through a
neutral agency, with a thousand sea
men, visited many ships to Investigate
conditions aboard, held hearings in
various parts of the country and found
that conditions were "disgraceful +"
The report is critical Of the operators
and the seamen as well.
Order and discipline had in many
cases disappeared, passengers CONF
planned Of insolent treatment and the
vessels were frequently delayed by

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) The
National Labor Relations Board will
be ordered to respect the rights Of all
employees and the labor organizations
representing them if an injunction
sought from the y. s. Court Of Ap-
peals of the District of Columbia by
the Commercial Telegraphers Union
Of America, is granted.
In its petition for injunction filed
with the court, the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union claims that the Labor
Board passed upon certain claims Of
a CIO union without first having af-
forded the Commercial Telegraphers
Union an opportunity to be heard IN
the matter overstepping its authority
dnder the labor act.
The petition contains information
which, if true, would indicate that the
Labor Board was maneuvered into con
during a "star-chamber" session en-
tirely for the benefit of the CIO un
ion Specifically, the petition seeks to
enjoin the board from taking any
steps to hold an election on a nation
wide basis in the Postal Telegraph
system, at the request of the ClO.
The Commercial Telegraphers Union
is represented in the injunction action
by Patrick J Taft, Washington attor-
ney. and an authority on the labor act.
Election Not Opposed
Eve are in no sense opposing the
final holding of an election by the
Labor Board" said President Frank
B. Powers, of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union, here for the fling of
the petition. "On the contrary, we will
welcome an election on a nationwide
basis in the Postal Telegraph system
conducted under circumstances which
will give the employees, whether they
are members of our union or other
wise, the opportunity to express them
selves with all of the facts before
them, and not otherwise.
"The Labor Board has repeatedly
stated the opinion that no union can
hope to last which is interested only
in gaining members unless it also
gains the respect of such members.
Our union has never sought, and does
not now seek, members on any other
basis than that Of respect for the
things we stand for. In the court
action taken today there is no hostll-
ity to the Labor Board as such The
Labor act is the greatest instrument
which the law has yet devised for the
benefit Of employees and the protection
of their rights. No union, not even the
CIO, should misuse or distort the la
Dor act to blind employees as to their
rights.

Detective Scans Crime
5000 Miles AWay

NEW YORK, Aug. IL G.N.S0.
Detective Nicholas Sullivan, Of
the marine division Of New
York's Finest" today was ponder
ing on just how a good police
officer went about solving a rob-
berry when the scene Of the crime,
the victim, and possibly the cul-
prit, were 5000 miles distant.
Sullivan has been assigned to
fathom out the great ship rob
berry" the theft of jewels, valued
at between $1,000 and $4,000, from
the stateroom Of Harry SchloSs,
of Baltimore, Md.
According to word received here
from the Atlantic's blue ribbon
liner Normandie, the robbery was
committed as the vessel steamed
out of New York on her last cross
ing. SchlosS waved farewell to
Manhattan's skyline and pro-
ceeded to enjoy life aboard ship,
knowing that his jewels were
"Safe" in his cabin.
Eight hours later they were
missing.
The problem has really been
made a lot simpler for Detective
Sullivan, however. They're bring.
ing the scene Of the crime back to
him-the Normandie docks here
next week and the perplexed Off
Ger can go to work.
