ORGANIZED CRIME

Although a number of the country's
most desperate and spectacular criminals
have been either killed or sent to prison
during the last two or three years, or
ganized crime still floufishes, and will
continue to flourish until the average per-
son takes more lively interest in its sup
preston
One of the worst features of criminal
activity is racketeering, in which organ
lied criminals prey upon honest business,
often with the connivance and actual
partnership of corrupt officials
A racketeer is defined as zone who
singly or in connection with others EFFORTS
money or advantages by threats of violence
or of unlawful interference with business .
Racketeering takes many forms, but by
this time most of these are recognizable
by the average citizen.
The difficulty in combating the
racketeer lies first in getting victims to
give evidence; second, in getting the con-
victed criminal actually behind the bars,
and third, keeping him there. Criminal
law and procedure seem to be devised for
the protection of the criminal, rather than
the public
Only an aroused and militant public
opinion can serve to remedy the disgrace
full situation which already has existed too
long. Law-abiding citizens must organize
in the fight against organized crime.

GREELEY'S HANDWRITING

Many stories have been told about
Horace Greeley's VIGOROUSLY poor hand
writing, which was constant nightmare
to his associates, and especially to the
printers on the old New York Tribune,
which he founded:
One printer, being given a Greeley
manuscript to set up for the first time, ex-
claimed: my God, if Belshazzar had
seen this writing on the wall he would
have been more terrified than he was"
Later it is said, Greeley wrote to the fore
man, directing that the printer be dis
charged because he made so many typo
graphical errors. The printer got hold of
the note before leaving, and carried it to
the foreman of another newspaper as a
recommendation-and got a job i'm
mediately.
Once Greeley was invited to lecture
in Sandwich, I'll, He wrote that he was
overworked and would be sixty years old
on February third, and felt unable to take
the engagement. After much labor in de
ciphering the letter, the committee re-
piled that they would be glad to have him
lecture on February third, and that the
fee of sixty dollars would be satisfac-
tory.

ANOTHER PENSION GRAB

A bill is likely to be presented to
Congress to treat widows and orphans of
those who fought in the World War,
Spanish-American, Indian and Civil wars
the same.
The phraseology is pleasant way of
telling the public that the drive for PEN
sions was not ended when the bonus bonds
were distributed and that the nation is apt
to see repeated, on a larger scale than
ever, the disgraces that accompanied pen
sions in the past.
Congressman will be quick to support
any measure that promises to deliver the
veterans vote in bloc. They will not
recall the fact that since 1918 millions of
young men and women have started out in
life and that these youngsters will have
the burden of paying taxes for pensions
for many years. Maybe, if the youngsters
organize, their voice might penetrate a
Congressman Uranium.

sition is strong. The idea has spread
that tn election returns in Novem-
Der showed that the President was
strongly supported by labor because
of the belief that he would use his
great power to improve their posi-
ton.
Another influence not to be ignored
Is the reports of better business con-
titions. When business is active a
strike win result in lowered earnings
for employers instead of the greatly
enlarged ones they hope to make at
such times. Demands for higher
wages, shorter hours. etc.. are more
likely to be granted than when there
are no profits in sight. Also it can be
urged at such a time that business
can afford to meet higher labor costs
These are the more immediate rea-
sons for the current unrest and are
le usual ones. Labor unions always
take advantage of favorable oppor-
tun. ties TO press their claims. Their
strength in the past has fluctuated
rather closely with business pros
perit,. They get as much as possible
while the occasion is favorable and
then make strenuous efforts to hold
their gains during depressions.
While this is true it would be mis-
take today to overlook another and in
the long run a more powerful inf1u-
ence. There is a strong and wide
spread conviction that there must be
a wider distribution of purchasing

power among the mass OF the popu-
lation. That this view should be held
by the labor unions is not surprising.
Workers, like other groups. may be
expected to struggle for larger in
comes. In fact. we call such efforts
competition" and consider compete
ton basic element in our economic
life.
But It should be remembered that
many business men of prominence
and many economists have also urged
this view. Back in the days Of the
New Era there was a great deal said
of the economy Of high wages" 1t
was argued that well paid or even
quite highly paid workers are more
efficient. Also it was insisted that only
as workers received generous incomes
would it be possible for them to buy
enough of the output Of our factories
to keep industry going.
If this view was correct ten or more
years ago there is no reason to believe
| it is any less true today. Moreover.
we now have available additional evil
dence in the form of more adequate
analyses Of the way in which the ma
tional income is divided among the
various income groups. The only point
to be argued is how to bring about this
wider distribution Of purchasing
power.
Different way have been tried and
some of them have failed. Today the
strongest arguments are in favor Of
doing it through lowered prices, while
money wages email the same. Unfor-
tunately it is not easy to lower prices
or even to keep them from rising dur
ing the upswing Of the business cycle.
today many prices are rising and
there are grave reasons for fearing
| that they will go much higher.
Under the circumstances the labor
unions may be expected tolpress their
demands. Some of them VIII be rea-
sonable, others will be extravagant.
and still others will be preposterous.
1t viii be hard everywhere to decide
what it is wise and feasible to grant.
But none of us should allow the fact
that many demands are unwise or im-
possible to blind us to the basic con-
sideration. Purchasing power should
| be more widely distributed for the
sake of business as well as workers
If price advances cannot be controlled
this will have to be done through
! higher money wages.

EDUCATION IN MUSIC

Other states may be doing the same
thing but it is worth noting that Luther A.
Richmond, State Supervisor of Music, has
set up five-year plan in Virginia, de-
signed to give pupils in every graded
school personal experience with music in
the hope that this will develop a feeling
for music and make the pupils ready for
more extensive training
The reason we call attention to the
Virginia plan is that there are communi-
ties in the United States which are of the
opinion that any music in the public
schools involves needless and foolish ex-
pense.
