GOVERNOR NICE
HAS NO WISH TO
DIVERT FUNDS

Baltimore, Jan. 27-Enjoined by the
Automobile Club Club of Maryland
for his proposal to divert gasoline
tax and motor vehicle revenues from
the States roads system, Governor
Nice today replied that he has no wish
to intercept these monies for the Gen
eral Fund, but that he has found it
necessary to do so sin order for the
State to function properly"
The Governor made his statement
after reading a strong plea from the
Board of Governors of the Automobile
Club presented to him by C. M. Fail
coner, president, and Palmer R. Nick
erson, general counsel of the club, at
his office in Annapolis.
81 am entirely in sympathy whit he
Automobile Club of Maryland state
ment," the Governor said. 81 find it
necessary, however, to borrow these
funds in order for the State to func-
ton properly. / agree that the con-
dition of the roads in the State of
Maryland is terrible and it is neces-
sary that these funds be replaced.
"You have read my budget and will
recall that in it l made certain sug-
gestions as to additional sources of
revenue.
"The present situation will be re-
peated constantly unless the State
Constitution is amended to make di-
version of highway funds impossible.
I am strongly in favor of such con-
stitutional amendment"
The letter to which the Governor
made his reply was the following:
Honored SIR
The Board of Governors of the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland has heard
with alarm the proposal that the
funds obtained by taxation of the citi-
zens of Maryland levied upon the use
of motor vehicles for the specific pur-
pose of construction and maintenance
of safe and satisfactory roads be di-
verified and spent for purposes foreign
from those for which the taxpayers
have been assured they would be ex-
pended. We hasten to present our
case before you.
Please first be assured that our pur-
pose in so doing is not to embarrass
you or contribute any further diff
Guilty to those which already beset
you. We are fully cognizant and
sympathetic with the financial prob
lens that confronts you. Accept our
plea as one which seeks rather to re-
strain any precipitant action which
might result in serious consequences
and regret from every quarter.
Not great many years ago Mary
land could point with pride to our
State road system as being surpassed
by that of no other state in the I'm
ion, and having actually a greater
mileage of improved roads than even
the State of California. Since that
day motor vehicular traffic has in
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-02-05

creased many fold. Other states have
proportionately increased the effic-
iency of their roads. Not so Mary
land. Today we lag far behind our
sister states in roadway efficiency.
Today our roads do not even approach
safety, they are actually hazardous
in the extreme. Nor can they for
years to come be made adequately
safe even if every cent of the pres
ent available taxes collected for the
purpose be spent upon them. Our
for the most part poorly banked at
curves, if indeed banked at all, many
are in need of repair. To our know
ledge there does not exist single
four lane traffic road in the entire
State of Maryland with the exception
of the Washington Boulevard, that
runs for more than five miles.
Your Excellency, these observations
do not come to you from group,
Interior minded, selfishly intent upon
gaining concessions for themselves.
The cries of the 498 victims on Mary
land highways last year are and
should be far more eloquent than any
petition that we might humbly place
before you. And tbs year, if the rate
of fatalities since January LIST is main
tanned, there will be more than 700
killed on the highways of Maryland
in 1887. Therefore we ask if you in
your judgment feel that now is the
time to take from the already hope
lessly inadequate funds set aside for
the safety. construction and mainte-
nance of our roads, and use any por-
ton of them for other purposes. 1t
is not only the pleasure motorist who
ought to be considered, it is the sales
man in his work, the commercial con-
veyor of merchandise, the doctor on
his case, the housewife on her errand,
the clergyman, the plumber, the
banker, the clerk-and equally impor-
tant the pedestrian who travels the
country roads, who neither owns nor
drives a car but who because of the
narrowness of the road is hurtled into
eternity. There has been some dis
cussion relative to passing such legis-
lation as may be necessary to raise
an equal amount of money to replace
such funds as are intended to be with
drawn from highway use. Assuming
that such legislation can be passed,
then let it be passed for the specific
purpose for which it is needed. I'm
der no conditions. we beg if you, let
the State Roads Funds be imperiled
while such legislation is pending.
The question has also been asked as
to the legality of diverting funds, col
lected by taxation for specific pur-
pose, to any purpose other than that
for which the tax was levied. But
this is aside from the consideration of
safety to life and limb, which is the
basis upon which we present our case.
Consider for a moment the position
of the Automobile Club of Maryland.
For thirty-five years we have collect
ed membership dues from residents of
every county and city in the state,
for which we have agreed to render
service to the member. We look af-
ter the routing of his trips within and

of Maryland, to escape becoming dere-

be compelled without choice to oppose
such action as vigorously and aggres-
sively as possible, using every fair

our citizens. This cannot be- done by
diverting funds set aside for such pur
pose. We appeal to you, Sir. in the
interest of all the citizens of Mary
land. We appeal to you, also, in be-
half of our guests, the citizens of 9TH
Ell states, whose right to safe travel
within our boundaries is no less than
the right of our own citizens, and
whose good opinion of us is important
and valuable.
There is no question in our minds
as to your genuine personal interest
in the welfare of these human be-
ings, your neighbors and Maryland's
guests. We pray, therefore, to aban-
don any and every thought of divert
ing from Maryland's highways, the
funds, or any part of them, collected
through the means of special taxes
on the use Of motor vehicles,

WISCONSIN
Sets Up Workers School On
State Wide Basis

Madison, Wis. (ILNS)- The Uni
versity is in the process of forming
he first permanent statewide school
for workers, in industry, in the United
States. To date, classes have been
planned for twenty cities in all parts
of Wisconsin and workers education
cooncils are being set up in different
communities where the desire for
such classes has been manifested.
This new educational institution was
established in June of this year by the
state university board of regents and
is an outgrowth of the university's
summer school for workers, which
was formed twelve years ago. The
new schools classes will be held
not only in Madison, where the state
university is located, but in other cit
les in the state as well, and workers
viii be provided with an opportunity
for organized study during the entire
year.
Subjects offered by the school in
clude parliamentary law, public speak
ing, American trade unionism, prob
lens of labor today, consumer prob
lens, and economics of industry, as
well as many other courses ordinar-
lily found in a college class room.
Teachers for the classes, which may
be organized by unions, central labor
bodies, or union auxiliaries, other
workers organizations, or by indi-
vidual workers, will be provided by
the university's school for workers
Each will be assigned to group OF
communities to teach day or night
classes.

New Deal Legislation Is
Upheld In Two Important
Supreme Court Decisions

Warrington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
supreme court in its session of Mon
day, October Is, rang the go ahead
bell on two New Deal measures.
First, the court refused to review
the finding Of the fourth circuit court
of appeals, which upheld an impor
tant ruling of the National Labor Re-
lations Board The Jefferey-De Witt
Insulator CO., of Kenova, w. Va, re
fused to obey an order of the NLRB
to bargain collectively with It's en-
ployes. The ground for refusal was
that these employees had been dis
charged or had gone on strike before
the labor relations act was passed.
The boards ruling, in effect, was
that workers do not lose their stand
ing as employees of given employer
by going on strike, or by discharge
resulting from strike. The circuit
court of appeals upheld the board,
and the supreme court, by refusing a
review, has upheld the circuit court.
The Importance of this case is plainly
very great and may well grow greater.
Subpoena Right Backed
Second the court, by refusing to
review the decision of the fifth circuit
court of appeals, upheld the right of
the security and exchange commission
to subpoena the kilograms and cores
pondence of companies seeking to sell
stocks.

Corporation, and the Florida Texas

A strong denunciation of both war
and violation of treaties and the firm
conviction that concerted action among
nations is the only effective method
for maintaining peace featured dec
laration unanimously adopted by the
recent annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in Denver,
Colorado.
The declaration emphasized the fact
that justice is the genuine basis for
peace between nations and that eco
nomic and social security is the ground
work on which peace must stand.
The matter came before the conven-
tion in the form of report by the
committee on international labor re-
lations and was adopted without
dissenting vote.
The text of the conventions declar-
alton follows:
International Lawlessness Deplored
The American Federation of Labor
is gravely concerned and shocked that
the Chinese nation and civilizations
are threatened by ruthless warfare
that attacks civilian population as
we'll as armed forces.
We are disturbed by the increasing
lawlessness in the international field
as evidenced by treaty violations.
Democratic institutions in many coun-
tries have been replaced by the rule
of force and the subordination of in
dividual we'll being to state regimen
tation.
With armed conflict already in prog
ress in Europe and the Far East, the
menace of another world war oversha-
dows the civilized world.
Attacks on Defenseless Citizens
Condemned
Labor abhors war and knows only
too we'll that war does not solve our
problems. American labor does not
wish to be involved in European or
Asiatic wars. We, as nation, early
established the policy of avoiding en-
tangling alliances which would involve
us in the tolls Of foreign diplomacy.
We have written in the law of the
land neutrality procedure to prevent
our becoming involved through trade
in munitions.
But as to the great moral issues
that developed out of violation of the
integrity of nation, barbaric attacks
upon defenseless citizens, disregard of
the rights of others-upon these
things no free people with sense of
moral obligation to those unable to
protect themselves can be neutral.
But we want peace-not war. This
desire lays upon US the obligation to
seek peace.
Justice rs Basis For Peace Between
Nations
Labor believes that peace is essen
| tial to the best interests of peoples of
all lands, and that we have a respon-
sibility for helping to maintain peace
between nations. We realize that this
| cannot be done by mere words OF

DUKE OF WINDSOR
Coming to Plug Efficiency
System Hated By Labor

Washington. D. c. (ILNs)- The
duke of Windsor, who used to be in
the king business before he quit to
marry an American woman, will
boom an efficiency system not loved
by labor when he comes to the United
States on November Is, it is reported
in Washington. The Dukes visit had
been announced as being to study
American labor and housing condi-
tions. He will be accompanied by the
duchess.
The duke, it is said, will tour the
country as the representative Of the
notorious Bedaux speed up" system,
long fought by organized textile
workers. He will also, it is indicated,
seek to boom the sale Of business
machines made by the international
Business Machines Corporation Of
New York.
Wealthy Men His Bosses
Charles E. Bedaux, multi-million-
aire inventor Of the Bedaux system,
and Thomas ]. Watson, president of
the international Chamber of Com
merce and president Of the Interna-
tional Business Machines Corpora
ton, are the employers of the duke,
it is said. Bedaux has been the host
Of the duke and duchess in France
Bedaux is making all personal ap-
pointments in America for the duke
and is also making all other ones,
through a New York advertising agen-
cy. Watson, in 1884, received the high
est corporate salary reported to the
exchange and security commission that
year. 1t was $365,358.
Faces Tough job
One report said that the dukes
task, will be to reconcile labor te
increased use of the efficiency system
and Of the machine. He will, OF
course, be expected to sell the methoe
and the machine to employers The
report added:
''The dukes Well-known friendliness
to labor, evidenced as prince of Vale:
and King Edward VIII, is expected
to win favorable response to labor.

State Charter Denied
Independent Union"

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-Denying
the application of 500 employees of the
Empire Worsted Mills of Johnstown
for a state union charter, the State
Board Of Standards and Appeals de-
clared that 'it viewed with suspicion
the motives of instigators and organ
izers of any independent union with
members confined solely to employees
ST a single employer"
The case will be appealed to the
courts.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1937-10-29

In labor circles, it is felt the duke
will have to show some SURPRISING
powers of craftsmanship to sell" the
Bedaux system to American labor,
which has studied the system in ac-
tion, and knows all about it. AS a
matter Of fact, the dukes popularity
among the masses here is undoubtedly
due for a slump if he really intends
to plug" the Bedaux system, labor
