be accomplished by building a low
"divider" island, 3 feet wide, which
would run through both the east and
the west sectors Of the roadway about
the circle. This would leave an inside
roadway 27la feet wide and an out
side roadway Of equal width, each CIV
ing ample room for two lanes OF
trafflc.
Six small "directional" islands
would be built at the intersections of
some Of the streets with the circular
roadway. They would serve the pur-
pose OF directing vehicular trafnc to
the right and make it difficult for
drivers to 60 "the wrong way" around
the circle. as sometimes now hap
pens.
These islands would be placed at
the intersections Of the circle with
Nineteenth street. Massachusetts, ave-
nue. and New Hampshire avenue, at
opposite sides Of the circle.
The last step would be to cut back
the curbs at numerous points around
the outside Of the roadway Of the cir

- OBSTRUCTION Of a street car
subway for Dupont Circle is
y the major portion Of a plan
proposed by Highway Director
H. c. Whitehurst as means Of reduce
ing traf1ic hazards there.
The cost Of the entire program for
this circle is estimated at 100000.
This estimate, along with those for
other traffic engipser plans, are to be
reported to the House District Commit
tee in compliance with requests made
at the past session.
Dupont Circle presents specialized
problem, Capt. WhithuHt explains. In
the first place, street car tracks now
are laid only in the western half Of
the roadway around the circle and
northbound cars travel the wrong way
through the multiple intersections. In
the second place there are no less than
10 streets which pour vehicular traffic
into the circle.
Officials agree that Dupont Circle is
too extensively developed too large, to
permit the cutting Of trafic arteries

Those who believe the Memorial
Day massacre of 10 strikers in Chi
cago was an accident" or the muir
der of two in Massillon, or the kill
ing and wounding of others in the
current labor organizing drive, have
much to learn, according to F. Ray
mond Daniel, New York Times re-
porter.
James H. Rand, Jr, manufacturer
of typewriters, etc, has told all in
the Labor Relations Bulletin of the
National Manufacturers Association,
from which Mr.. Daniel quoted.
Lesson No. In order to maintain
the open shop, you must first label
all union organizers 'agitators' rep
resenting "a small minority in your
plant for the purpose of projecting
arbitrary demands.
Lesson No. 2-Chambers of Com
merce and business men generally
must be impressed with the fact that
strikes are costly, and these groups
should be instructed to notify the
public that strikes are costly to the
community as well. (See Youngs-
town experience-which came after
publication of this plan-for details.
Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Re-
public Steel Company followed this
method.)
Lesson No. 3-"Raise high the ban
ner of law and order" and influence
the community to mass legal and
police weapons against violence real
threatened or imaginary. Call mass
meetings of citizens committees"
See experience of Youngstown, War
rem and Johnstown.
Lesson No. 4-Bring about the
formation of a large armed police
force for its psychological effect. See
testimony Of Police Chief Stanley w.
Switter of Massillon, who showed
before NLRB how National Guard,
company, business groups and citi-
zens committees put pressure on him
to add men to police force for emer-
gency.
Lesson No. 5-Undertake publicity
campaign and send missionaries" to
convince strikers of a strong back
to work" movement and the defeat
of the strike. This can be done
through a "puppet" organization, like
the Johnstown Citizens Committee.
The climax of the NLRB summary
of Mr.. Rand's plan follows: when
a sufficient number of applications
(for work. are on hand, fix a date
for the opening OF the plant through
the device of having such opening
requested by the back to work as
ISOLATION"
The LaFollette Committees vigor-
u condemnation of the part played
by the Chicago police in the Mem
orial Day massacre, and the evidence
presented to the National Labor Re-
lations Board prove conclusively that
practically all the incidents that have
occurred in Little Steel can be traced
back to the Mohawk Valley Formula.
Rand has placed in the hands of
industry a ready-made Fascist labor
program.

SOCIAL SECURITY
FOR SOME

By June l, 1887, the Social Secur-
ity Board reports, as states, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii
had adopted unemployment compen-
sation schemes, under taxation pro-
visions of the Social Security Act.
Estimated number of employees COW
cred by as state laws was Is, 633, 900.
Only about half the working popula-
ton in these states have been grant
ed even the limited protection of
these laws.
Under old-age pension provisions
of Social Security Act, over q, 704,-
600 persons had applied for partici-
patton by end of May, 1887. Less
than half the employed population,
and fewer than one-third of the total
number of adults, are covered by
the plan. Among those excluded are
the following groups:
Domestic servants, agricultural and
casual workers, employees of charit-
able, educational and religious or
CARNATIONS, employees of the federal
or state governments, professional
people, and all self-employed per-
sons, such as farmers, proprietors,
businessmen, and of course the IN
employed. Housewives, not being
painfully employed" are also not
included. But unlike unemployment
insurance, workers in establishments
of less than eight employees are COW
cred.
These facts on extent of social in
surance under federal act are clearly
and vigorously stated by Maxwell S.
Stewart in Social Security" W. w.
Norton & Co., New York, 800 pp.,
$3). On provision for old-age pen
sions he concludes that "the vast
MISUNDERSTANDING millions in the
lowest income groups-have no pro-
lection whatsoever"
The latest volume on social insur-
ance is a valuable compendium of in
formation, including chapters on the
need for social security, the failure
of relief, and on various systems al
ready in operation in other countries.
1t is the first book on the subject to
give a fair picture of social insurance
in the Soviet Union, as Mr.. Stewart
put it, the most comprehensive of
all systems" 1t also includes appen-
dix tables giving main provisions of
state unemployment compensation
and old-age pension laws in the
United States.
Mr.. Stewart discusses various pro-
posals for more inclusive plans in
this country, and concludes that at
least minor reforms in the Social
Security Act could be achieved with
out difficulty. State pensions should
be materially increased. Federal
subsidies for needy blind and for
dependent children should be sub
stantially increased. Old-age annui-
ty system should be broadened to in
clude all types of invalidity. Old
age annuities and unemployment in
urance should be extended to a.
much larger share of the population.
ut would be comparatively sim
pie" he concludes, "to provide old
age protection for agricultural work
ers, domestic servants, and en-
ployees of charitable, religious and
educational institutions" For the
unemployed there should be a gen.
eral unemployment assistance pro-
gram, paying all of the jobless at
least enough to maintain life, health
and "~decency."

Mol Gold But Waqes
Determine Recovery
By ELIOT JANEWAY
Federated Press Financial Writer

TOT over q mOnLn the world has
been on the verge of a great gold
crisis. The mere threat of this crisis
has been sufficient to precipitate vio-
lent stock market panics in every
financial center from Vienna to Cal
cutta and, not least, in New York.
The difficulty is that the talk about
a gold crisis is not very clear. One
gathers that if the price of gold falls,
it will carry down with it the value
of securities and commodities. One
gathers also that if the accumulation
of gold at the present price con-
tinues, securities and commodities
will rise further.
The essential fact about this DO
tential gold crisis is that it has taken
its toll of business confidence in the
midst of recovery. The combined
evidence of higher payrolls, of in
creased farm income, and of rising
mass consumption power has not
been able to minimize the import
ance of possible fluctuations in the
price of gold. The stock market
index of the confidence of business
in future values-has not been will
ing to accept the testimony of mass
consumption as sufficient reason for
maintaining confidence.
The reason why the future of gold
prices has outweighed the more basic
consideration of mass buying power
in the opinion of business, is not far
to seek. The present recovery move
ment, as this column has reiterated
constantly during the last nine
months, is based half upon specula-
ton in rising prices and half upon
an increasing volume of real wage
payments.
During the winter, business at
tempted frantically to raise prices
ahead of wages. BY March prices
had doomed out of all proportion to
the incomes of the people who must
buy goods and who, by then, could
no longer afford to buy them. In
April came the crash. With the
crash business turned to gold in a
second attempt to raise prices ahead
of wages. If purchasing power does
not justify price initiation, it was
argued, then ar increasing gold re-
serve does.
Now this reasoning has been prov
en- specious. Gold cannot be made
to substitute for the real dollars of
the millions who buy food and cloth
ing. Capitalists the world over have
drained their countries dry of money
in a mad scramble to convert francs,
schillings and yen into gold to be
sold in New York for dollars. Yet
the influx of new dollars into the
New York Stock Exchange in this
way has not been able to overcome
the stagnation there. The stock
market remains depressed, and all
the gold in the world cannot make
it resume its upward course.
For it is not gold, but the ability
of the working population to buy
goods, which makes or breaks re-
covery movements. The very fact
of the gold scare reflects the acute
ness of the race between prices and
wages which has characterized the
present recovery. Assurance has
now come from Washington that the
price of gold will be kept at its pres
ent high level. Still the markets
hesitate. Not until wages have de-
cisively moved ahead Of prices can
the deadlock be broken, and the
progress of recovery continue. The
gold scare is not a scare but a symp-
tom revealing what ails our recovery.
