MAYORS ASK MORE
Relief Funds and End OF
War in Labor Ranks

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-MoreI
than 400 mayors of American cities,
meeting in conference in the nations
capital, passed by unanimous vote
resolution calling for strong in
crease in federal relief, another reso-
luton calling on the CIO and the A. f.
of L. to settle their differences, and
listened to lecture on law enforce
ment by j. Warren Madden, chair
man of the NLRB, that must have
left good many honorable ears ting
ling.
In q proclamation to the country
supporting the call for more federal
relief, the mayors said, in part:
"The u. S. Conference of Mayors,
consisting of executive officers of all
political parties, desires to call atten-
tion to the fact that the problem of
unemployment challenges the very ex-
istence of our industrial institutions.
Following Fatal Course
1--WE cannot continue forever to
multiply production of our commodi-
ties by archaeological advance, and
build an increasing demand for these
goods, if at the same time we continue
to destroy jobs and thereby slaughter
the purchasing power of these mil
lions of unemployed. .
This is too serious problem to be
used as a political bludgeon by any
person or party"
The resolution on labor peace de-
clared that it was to 'the best in
terest of labor, industry and the gen
eral public" that the CIO and A. F
Of L. settle their differences at 1.-THE
earliest possible time

Capital gains" so far as the tax
on them is concerned, are the in
creases in value of securities. John T..
Flynn, a nationally known expert on
financial matters, has put this matter
so clearly that his words must be
quoted:
MIR. X is president Of large cor
poration. He knows its innermost
secrets Mr.. X is therefore in an
excellent position to make a great
deal Of money trading in the shares
Of his own corporation and in those
of his friends. His greatest wealth
comes out of his capital gains, cap
tured largely through his market
trades.
1T will not be easy to explain to
poor old George w. Public why his
income derived from work is taxed
while the income of his corporation
friends derived from their stock
gambling is not taxed"
TO which need only be added that
many persons who want to repeal the
capital gains and undistributed profits
taxes suggest a sales tax in their place.
And a sales tax soaks the workers,
every time.

When the peace of the world is
threatened by three nations, which
are actually waging war in two coun-
tries, it is wise for all Americans and
especially for American wage earn
ers to get few facts firmly in mind.
This is plain recital of some of those
facts.
On group of these facts American
labor knows already, but it will do no
harm. to set them down. The three
threatening powers are Japan, Italy
and Germany.
These three countries claim that
they must have colonies to get raw
materials, and to furnish an outlet
for their surplus population. Facts
prove both claims false.
Only two important raw materials,
tin and rubber, are produced in large
quantities in colonial regions. Only
81 per cent of the oil, 3.4 per cent of
the iron ore, 2.5 per cent of the cotton,
2.3 per cent of the wool, 1.5 per cent
of the zinc, and 0.3 per cent of the
coal of the world come from colonies
The outlet for surplus population
plea is equally false. Before the Worlc
War, there were about $4,000 Ger
mans in all German colonies-less
than the number living in Paris. Italy
has held Eritrea, which borders OF
ETHIOPIA, for 40 years; and only 2,oo(
Italians live there. Japan seized Man
churia as a colony" At the las
| figures, 100000 japanese, including
soldiers and officials, were in Man
churia- and more than 23,000,00C
Chinese.

The Cherry
Tv Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Great noise over building, all of a
sudden.
President, senators, representatives,
city officials talk big building pro-
gram.
There has been talk of building on
a big scale for years-ever since the
seven lean years in building began.
Yes, there have been seven lean
years.
Ask any building trades worker
or contractor They'll tell you.
Government agencies have given
boosts to building since 1888 but it
still lags far below normal.
Now rising chorus proclaims build
ing the need of the hour
The chorus says building is imper-
ative to bring permanence to recovery.
Labor has been saying that for
years, insisting recovery was pretty
shaky as long as building remained
in the dumps.
=
With all the kind words for build
ing, plus the evident determination of
government to do something about it,
there is good chance something WILL
BE DONE.
Labor will rejoice if big construc-
ton boom actually gets under way.
1t has worked and prayed for such
an outcome.
1t knows that vast numbers of new
houses are needed to make up for fail
ure to build in recent years.
1t knows, in the words of Represen-
tatiye James NJ. Mead, that "a decent
respect for every American family
would pay rich dividends in improved
health, diminished crime, better citi-
zenship"
1t knows patriotism Of the truest
sort works for the welfare of the
masses.
Above all, labor knows that huge
building program would put great
numbers of unemployed wage searners
to work.
Countless benefits would flow from
that alone.
So labor fervently hopes present
agitation to promote building will gel
results
And labor stands ready to cooper
ate in every sound way.
But why today's tidal wave of de
mand for building revival?
The recession" did the trick.
The recession" is changing govern
ment tactics.
| And labor tactics, too.
| Once the American Federation 0.
Labor favored the wage and hour bill
No wit opposes the bill in its pres
ent form largely as a result Of tht
recession, slump, decline or whateve
you want to call it.
| Because of the slump and the re
sulting increase in unemployment, tn
federation says the measure should b,
amended to shorten the work day an,
/ work week, to make more jobs.
John L. Lewis, too, knows there i
a recession.
He advises the anthracite miners t
approve extension Of their presen
contract for another year.

up his mind that the farmer was
his friend and that was sufficient.
After catching that last rat to
leave the house, Billy went over
to the woodpile where he was max
ing his home. It didn't take him
long to discover that some of those
rats were hiding in the Woodpile,
and he promptly hunted them out OF
there just as he had hunted them
out Of the house. Then, being tired
he curled up for nap.
For two or three days after that
Billy Mink hunted rats. He hunted
them until there was not one of that
robber gang left in the big barn, the
henhouse, or under the woodpile. In
fact, there wasn't one Of those rob-
ber rats left on the farm. Where
those who had escaped had gone,
the farmer didn't. know, and Billy
Mink didn't know, and neither Of
them cared. The farmer was so
happy at being rid Of those robbers
that it seemed as il he couldn't do
enough for Billy Mink. He kept Billy
supplied with good things to eat so
that Billy didn't know what it was to
be really hungry. He grew as fat
as a mink can be, and he grew lazy
as well.
Now Billy Mink is not naturally
lazy. He is one of the most active
of all the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. Not
having to hunt for his food, Billy
found little to do but eat and sleep,
and after a week Of this he began to
get uneasy. He began to long for
excitement and new scenes. And so
one night Billy left his comfortable
quarters and started back for the
Laughing Brook, in the Green Forest
near Farmer Browns, the place he
really called home: He was anxious
to find out if any of,his friends there
had been caught in the traps which
had been the cause Of his leaving
the Laughing Brook. The next morn
ing the food put out by the farmer
for him was untouched, and the
farmer knew that Billy had left. He
was sorry.

About 1000 B. C. Mr.. Homo

adornment? Of course, it's
not such a colorful subject
when thus limited. For Mr..
Average American, in his
conventional black" or his
standardized blue serge, or
even in his gray or brown or
mixed ''business suit" is not
a particularly eye-filling
spectacle.
True, he sometimes '1ets
himself go" in the buying of
neckties which shout for at
tention and occasionally in
putting on socks with varie-
gated pattern or shirts that
are a bit startling, to say the
least. But generally he keeps
the two latter items fairly
well hidden. In fact, about all
he expects to be in the Easter
parade is a sort of sober
background for gorgeous
femininity on this day and to
enhance her loveliness and
bri1liance by the contrast be-
tween her habiliments and
his.
But just to prove that he
could make a color splash,
too, if he wanted to do so,
let's glance back through
the centuries to see what the
well-dressed man of yester-
years wore. In other words,
let's stage an Easter fashion
parade, masculine model,
and forget for a moment
Milady and her finery.
When man first began to justify

was a logical .forebear to the
costume shown in No. 18. Here
Americans definitely assumed
long trousers and this Chester
field outfit was popular with the
good dressers Of 1910 to 1850.
The next period in American
mems clothing is shown in No.
10, typical example of mems
styles at the time of the Civil
war. Showing the influence of the
Victorian era when beauty was
apparently taboo and all that was
ugly in houses and furniture and
so-called art was allowed full |
development, this costume brings
us down to the present age of
Standardization.
It is a protest against this
Standardization which causes the
uprising of such freak styles as
that shown in No. 20-the ''pat-
ent-haired" young sheik with his
slashed, bell-bottomed trousers,
his tight-ftting coat, extravagant
cuffs, gaudy shirt, sash belt and
sport shoes, of only a few years
ago. Remember him?

significant alterations in cut,
fashions in color combinations

fundamentally correct dress does
not change, On the whole it's
pretty drab, when compared to
the gayety of Women's attire. So
they will probably continue to be
the center of attraction in the
annual Easter parade.

The German patrician's cos
tune (No. 81, common about
1900, is an example of the er-
nine-trimmed tunic which was
slipped over the head. It was
also a gay array of colors-the
tunic emerald, green, the leather

and the shoes and hat dark

THESE are the enemies Of war,

All mothers, fathers, even more
The little children at their knees
Who pay in poverty and gore
For this, the worst Of sophistries.
These are the enemies of war,
And war the enemy of these:
ALI men who labor, building for
Their country and the centuries,
Destruction in the cannon's roar,
And wars petitions blasphemies.
These are the enemies of war,
And war the enemy of these,
But most of all the warrior,
Who knows of wars utilities
That settle nothing, justice or
