WHERE THE BLAME LIES

In view Of the wild outcries made
of late about strikes and other dis
turbances, it seems wise to quote a
little from the report Of the maritime
commission on the sea labor prob
lems
"The shipping industry" says the
commission, is now paying for its
short sightedness in repressing labor
for 50 many years. Some Of the oper-
ators who paid low wages during the
depression were at the same time
drawing substantial subsidies from
the government for the preservation
Of an American standard Of living.

tor Hugo L. Black has in its posses

OHIO JOB INSURANCE
FUND GROWS LARGER

Columbus (OLNS)-Contributions
to the Ohio unemployment compen-
sation fund by approximately $4,000
employers of three or more workers,
on November / totaled SAL, ,141 1881,
according to information from w. t.
Roberts, labor member of the unem-
ployment compensation commission.
Employers are now subject to a
1.8 per cent tax on payrolls, which
is collected by the state each month.
Out of the total sum collected, $780,
663, Isl have been forwarded to Wash
ington by State Treasurer Clarence
j. KKnisley, where it has been invest
ed in government bonds and approved
securities.
Interest earnings to November l
on the Ohio funos deposited in the
federal treasury amount to 1868, $50,
the commission has been informed.
The interest earnings accrue only on
funds in custody of the federal gov
ernment and are applied to the prln-
cipal.
Commissioner Roberts estimated
that about 100000 may be paid
into the Ohio fund before payment of
benefits begin January /, 1889, and
that some two million workers will
be covered by the Ohio law at that
time.
The fund now being accumulated
for the protection of the workers in
event of adverse economic conditions
may be used for one purpose only, the
payment of benefits.
All administrative costs are paid by

FASCISM IN BIZ All.

Fascism is a political disease which
has shown its ability to cross the
Atlantic. The president Of Brazil, Ge-
tulio Vargas, has proclaimed himself
dictator for an indefinite period. He
has also proclaimed a new constitution,
said to Be closely modelled on the
Fascistic codes Of Portugal; and vic
ious enough to be hailed with joy in
Berlin BY the Hitler press.
It is most regrettable circum-
stance. Brazil has quarter Of a mil
lion more square miles than the United
States. It has a population usually
estimated at above 4O,o0o,ooo, more
than twice that Of Mexico and more
than three times that Of any other
nation except the United States in the
western hemisphere. With such a
source, the Fascist infection Is likely

Two events of great Importance to

have just happened in Washington.
|. The federal power and commune
cations commissions have filed briefs
in the supreme court, holding that the

ality of Ohios boiler inspection and

Yet there is no cause for wild sur

Labor Board Ruling of Elec

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) Ruling

The Cherry
STv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

It's too bad that the Duke of Wind
sor cancelled his trip, at least for
now.
It's too bad he cancelled it on the
ground he used.
But it's good that he finally has
been shocked into the idea that you
can't go hunting for friendship in la
Dor ranks while flying on the coat
tails of a stretch-out king.
1t was the Bedaux sponsorship that
raised a fog in American labor ranks.
The Baltimore Federation of Labor
blasted Bedaux out of the picture.
Incidentally the Baltimore Fed
Grafton got nation-wide,( not to
say worldwide publicity for
itself, which shows what you can
do with bright idea.
Well, the trip was called off and
one of the big guns in the publicity
business showed that it knew all about
mishandling a star event.
What a boner it pulled!
Having rid himself of the stretch
out influence, the dukes road here
would be wide open.
He ought to rise above a bad start
and come over, as any free person
would do, to see what there is to see.
Somehow, there is a lack Of dig
nifty about the whole business.
Maybe the institution of royalty
gets that way when it's on the loose
but there's no essential reason for it.
What happened in this case is as
plain as anything could be.
A sharp business man saw chance
and took it. He put arrangements in
the hands of his own publicity ma
chine and that machine, geared to
exploitation for profit, bungled the
thing from the start and in every
direction
It's one of the prize bungles of
modern times.
Much of the harmonious aspect of
tour would depend upon the Bal
timore girl who became duchess. If,
under the circumstances, she could be
a normal person, all would be we'll.
High hating might be ruinous.
The duke is in a tough spot.
In the role of royal duke he is
neither an official nor the plain pri-
vate person he says he now intends
to be. To be plain private person
he must shed the trappings he seems
loath to give up.
But if he isn't wash-out he'll act
like man, quit letting selfish inter-
ests kid him all around the place and
carve out something useful to 60.
Because Of the limelight that's on
him wherever he goes, he can pass
that limelight along in the interests
q soclal progress, or SOclal SnoDDery
and nonsense.
Which he does is up to him.
1t would be very interesting to see
this scion of British royalty come over
now and, free from the Bedaux in
fuence, go have look at some cot
ton textile mills where the Bedaux
stretch-out is in operation.
One thing not brought out by
any of the commentators is the
fact that the United States gov
ernment was forced to appoint
special commission to check the
stretch-out, to see that it didn't
