"OVER THERE"

After surveying the plight of labor
lover there" as recently summarized
by Col. Frank Knox of The Chicago
Daily News, one is bewildered by
scme of the actions of organized la
Dor in this country. A typical skill
ed worker in Germany, linotype
operator, earns $40 annually. From
this is deducted such items as taxes
and insurance, contributions to the
labor 'front.'" contributions to relief
funds, etc. etc. The $40 ultimately
shrinks to net annual income of
S444.60.
On the assumption that the work.
er In question has wife and three
children, living expenses were divid-
ed as follows: Rent, $57.71: light
and heat. 5000; food. s244.06;
clothing, $56.83; miscellaneous. in
cluding transportation, washing, fur
niture, education and amusement,
S61.26. This makes a total of $440.56.
leaving s4.04 for rainy day.!
OF course. simply because the wor-
kers of another nation happen to be
less fortunate than the workers In
the United States, is no valid reason
per Sc for criticizing American la
Dor. But the straitened circumstan-
ces of labor in the illustration just
cited. should indicate the advantages
enjoyed by labor in our own coun-
try.
Freedom. as we know It,. demands
as its price of continued existence.

rights OF the Individual are not de-
stroyed by regimentation and bu-
roaucratic dietation from any source.

Are You Indifferent to
Slaughter?

Automobile accidents can be re-
duced. Death on the highways can
be stopped. ~
Last year traffic fatalities reached
an aIl-time high of $500. Yet IS
states and the District of Columbia
showed an average reduction Of Z
per cent in deaths-even though
gasoline consumption, best barorne-
ter of traffic conditions. increased 10
per cent.
These states weren't "just lucky"
Chance didn't save the lives Of their
citizens. According to the National
Safety Council. all but two of the
states carry on aggressive programs
of safety engineering. law enforce
ment, education, legislation, etc. The
same authority reports that in half
of the remaining 80 states next to
nothing is done to prevent the Grim
Reaper's grisly harvest.
There are two prime causes Of au-
tomobile accidents. One is the reck-
less, incompetent and dangerous
driver. He can be curbed to some
extent by up-to-date traffic laws that
are honestly and rigidly enforced.
The other cause Is dangerous. "ac-
cident prone" locations-bad inter-
sections. narrow highways without
dividing areas, etc. Here the high
way engineer must be called In to
such needless hazards and
thus make 1t virtually impossible to
have an accident.

community motto. It's high time. as

When you seemed to smell the brim-

To that place of lost despair
And you found yourself a-thinking

There wasn't any such placer
Or, did you find yourself a-praylng

more than anything else to keep
