FARLEY SEE
30 VICTORY

SALEM, ILL.,, July % u.N.S.).
For the second time in a five-day
span, James A. Farley, Democratic
National Committee chairman, to.
day credited the Roosevelt Admin.
istration with economic resuseita-
ton Of the country, and went on
to touch two absorbing political
questions and again don his
prophets toga.
Speaking at Democratic
Day" celebration, Farley declared
the recent, bitter Supreme Court
fight will leave no schiSrn within
the Democratic party, inferred
that President Roosevelt has no
third-term ambition, and predicted
1898 Democratic election successes
paralleling those won last year.
He said:
"YOu may have noted the Bit
ter character Of some Of the
speeches made in q recent con-
trOversy. D0snOt take these too
seriously. The talk Of q party
split comes from the RepubIi.

for q Democratic division as the
only possible means Of returning

HEAT OR DEBATE
Earnest men in the heat Of
controversy are prone to exag-
gerate. If you believed half Of
what Is said in the fury Of de-
bate, you would conclude that .
majority Of our public men ought
to be in Alcatraz prison instead
of in office.
eve know from experience
that no man or group in the
Democratic party is stronger
than that party. And I look to
see even the fiercest among those
who are in opposition today
fighting the Democratic battles
of the future as vigorously rs
ever"
Farley's inference regarding Mr..
Roosevelt's plans for 1910 was
slight. He merely called attention
to the Presidents much publicized
Jefferson Day dinner statement.
In passing, Farley directed a
barb at the Liberty League and
the Interests that have always
opposed the progressive policies
of the Democratic party" He
warned Democrats that these or.
carnations still are active.

Anxiety over the safety of 1900

AS the intermittent warfare
threatened to engulf Chin a S

The state Departm ent,
through its Ambassadors at
Tokyo and Peiping, appealed to
the japanese and Chinese gov
ernments to refrain from hOstili.
ties in and about Peiping and
to respect the neutrality OF
Americans.
The detachment of Marines
guarding the American Embassy
at Peiping was placed on a war
footing, and hastily began erect
ing sandbag barricadeS about
the Embassy and other Ameri-
can properties. They warned
Americans to be ready to take
refuge in the Embassy compound
at a moments notice.
It was admitted privately in Of
.ficial circles that the hope that an
outbreak of general hostilitieS
might be prevented was lessening
daily.
The conviction grew here that
Japan had gone into North China
to stay, just as she did in Man
chukuo in 1931-unleSs China
thrusts her out by armed force.
Meanwhile, the United States
is pursuing a strictly neutral
= course.

The Townsend Plan Is Dead

Remember the Townsend plan which to
have brought prosperity to this nation and which
paralyzed politicians with fear?
The plans swan song has been sung and DR..
Townsend's round-table inner-crce organizers
admit that it has passed out of existence.
The plan, which sent many politicians cambor-
ing to get on the band wagon for fear it would gain
momentum and strike political death-knell to any
politician who dared voice against it, has been
disowned by its original legislative sponsor, Repre-
sentative McGroarty elderly Democrat and poet aur
cate of California.
He officially disowned the Townsend plan in the
House and asked that House members who had af-
fixed signatures to the s2OO-a-month spending BILL
withdraw them.
McGroarty says he is through with anything
with which Dr. Townsend is connected.

mens which built about single figure. move

He even went so far as to make a martyr of him in

But Clements publicity gags went to the Doc

Clements started to get his picture in the pa

him out. That started the internal friction which
caused the movement to collapse

is to be left to a Federal Commits
sion, which will set up rules for
each industry and locality. While
the law and the rulings under it will
apply only to industries engaged in
interstate commerce, the definitions
of interstate commerce have been
so immensely broadened by recent
Supreme Court decisions that prac-
tically all important manufacturing
businesses would come within the
regulatory scope of the law.
With the trend so definitely to-
ward progressive lowering Of work
ing hours and increasing wages, it
is hardly to be doubted that the
commission provided for under the
new law, if enacted, will follow the
trend, and TIE 30-hour week in in
dustry may become a reality sooner
than many persons now seriously
dream of it.
The prevailing sentiment on
Capitol Hill is favorable to Federal
regulation of hours and wages, but
there Is rapidly developing an Oppo-
sition to enacting any more laws
favoring wage-workers as a class
unless the new legislation is coupled
with provisions to make labor
unions and their members equally
responsible with their employers.
Provisions must be made for av-
erting strikes and their consequent
disturbances of the public peace and
economic losses to workers and bus
mess alike. as the nation has been
going through for several months.
A. f. of Il. Influence
Neither Congress nor the Admin
istration has as yet shown an in
clination to tell organized labor that
it must behave itself or it won't get
the candy which the pending law
would give 1t. But the strongest
of all the Congressional lobbies for
years has been that of the American
Federation of Labor.
The whole Labor question. how
ever, In all OF Its tangled phases, is
the biggest and most vital question
calling for solution by the Federal
government.

| Vulit lut ultimate idtt VI tic
bill for Federal regulation of hours
and wages of labor is still unsettled,
the concentration of attention in all
Government circles upon the labor
situation, has set Senators and Con-
gressmen to serious study of the
facts about the American wage
worker and his steady Improvement
in economic condition.
To be sure, the wage-earners of
the whole world are better off than
they were 100 years ago. There are
many times more of them than there
were when agriculture was the
chief, almost the only productive in
dustry. But survey which has been
receiving considerable attention on
Capitol Hill shows that the organi-
zation of industrial workers into
| trade unions, and the demands of
those unions for shorter hours and
higher pay began lis years ago, in
1922.
The prevailing work day in that
year was twelve hours, and the
week was 6 full days, but in 1922
iourneymen mllwrights and ma
chinists of Philadelphia met at
tavern and adopted a resolution to
the effect that ten hours was long
enough for days labor.
That was the start of the move
ment for the 60-hour week; and it
took about 70 years of union organ
| ization and effort to bring it about
in the major industries of America
Indeed, it was not until nearly 100
years after 1922 before some indus
tries abandoned the twelve-hour
day
FOrty-HOur Work Week
By 1890, however enough busi-
nesses were operating on the 60
hour week schedule, to encourage
the American Federation Of Labor
to launch demand for still shorter
hours, the 8-hour day and the 49,
hour week. 1t was about thirty years
after that agitation began that the
average industrial workers week
came down to so hours; and another
ten years before any large proper
ton of the wage-earners had got
their hours down to below 54 a
week. Meantime, the Federation of
Labor had announced the 40-hour
week as its objective. 1t looked, be-
fore 1888, like another 30-year wait.
But in 1898 the first attempt in
America to regulate hours and wag-
es was made, in the National Recov-
cry Act. The codes set up under
NRA were aimed at the 40-hour
week, s hours day for five days a
week, as the average normal for all
industries. While NRA was being
enacted, the Federation OF Labor
took a step forward to more ad-
vanced ground, the 30-hour week.
The Senate did actually approve a
bill making the 30-hour week man
datory in interstate industry.
Although NRA and its codes are
dead, the net result Of all of the
agitation and the experience gained
under NRA is that the average
working week in the major indus
tries is now about 40 years. Labor
won that in about IA years after it
was first set up as the goal by the
Federation in 1919.
