Dinner Host

The Ambassador of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics
and 1me. Troyanovsky enter
tanned at dinner at the En-
bassy last night in honor of Sir
Hubert and Lady wilkins. There
were 40 guests.
Sir Hubert recently returned
from the Arctic after spending
more than seven months in a
courageous though fruitless
search of the Arctic wastes IL
airplane in an attempt to find
traces of the Soviet flier, Sigis-
mund Levanevsky, and his five
companions, whose radio sig
nails faded out last August
shortly after they had passed
over the North Pole in their eff
fort to fly from Moscow to
Alaska in a four-motor plane.
In their search Sir Hubert
and his crew flew upwards of
10000 miles over the Arctic ice
pack, ranging as far north as
81 degrees As minutes. or about
$50 miles from the North Pole.
From the Soviet side of the
Pole the airplane search for Le-
vanevsky still continues, vari-
GUS Soviet fliers having crossed
the Pole three times in the
course of their long observation
flights.
At the dinner Ambassador
Troyanovsky expressed the graf
itude of his government to Sir
Hubert Wilkins, to Air Commo-
dore Herbert Hollick-Kenyon,
pilot of Sir Hubert's expedi-
tons, and to DR.. Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, who cooperated in
arranging the flights.
Ranking guests were the Sec
rotary of Agriculture and Mrs.
Henry A. Wallace and Admiral
and Mrs. William D. Leahy.
Others included the Assistant
Secretary of State and Mrs.
George MesSersmith, the AS
sistant Secretary of Commerce

MRS. STANLEY CARR, who
W1 was Natalie Hanna, one of
the Dan Hanna (CleVeland
children, before her marriage
and subsequent divorce, was
married again, in Palm Beach,
to a very nice chap, named
Marvin, who halls from New
York. All of you remember when
Natalie and Stanley Carr lived
at 5000 Woodland Drive in
rather elaborate gray stone
house, and entertained often
and well.
A ND WHILE on the subject of
IA Palm Beach, we are ex-
tremely interested in the &C
count Of friend, who recently
returned : from a three-month
stay there. It seems that among
other amazing things that hap
pen in Palm Beach, the pro-
tective attitude of the police to-
ward those who have imbibed,
too freely and too well, is a
source of favorable comment. If,
for instance, one is driving and
after a gay afternoon or eve
ming, still has the intelligence to
realize that he cannot drive
anywhere-a phone call to the
nearest officer of the law fixes
everything. The officer arrives
and not only drives the be-
wildered one home, but sees
that he gets inside his prem
ises safely.
MRS. McLEAN'S dinner for
AVA the newspaper gals was, as
every writer has already printed,
a lovely and delightful affair
and to anyone interested in at.
tractive dining tables and their
service, the various service
plates, each more intriguing
with each course than the one
which preceded, would have
been fascinated.
For the first course the serv-
ice plates were gay and colorful,
with kings, queens, aces and
knaves of the card deck, pic
tured in their habitual costumes,
and alongside Of them a lifting
verse in bold black print. For
instance, the queen of hearts
read: 1.-THE Queen of Hearts, was
a Shepherdess Fayre, and she
herded About Her Lovers Rare"
For another course, the serv.
ice plates were pale green, with
a single dog Zone of the many
dogs Of Friendship pictured in
the center Of the plate. And so
it went, with all the guests SUI
premely interested in what plate
might make its appearance next.

Railroad industry is in bad shape
and will get worse, in all probability.
This is not news. Everybody knows
it.
Then why did congress adjourn
without passing railroad legislation ?
There are many answers but the
real reason, if any existed, has not
not been divulged.
Railroad unions opposed legislation
to give federal loans to railroads on
easier terms, unless carriers agreed
to drop demand for wage cuts.
Labor's stand was one excuse given
for failure of congress to act.
The attitude of labor does not seem
like an unsurmountable obstacle.
Surely, there is enough statemanship
in the ranks Of labor and management
to have reached some agreement
which would have at least permitted
'stop-gap' legislation.
Now only a special session Of con-
gress can bring action before jan
uary, when the next regular session
meets.
Some congress leaders apparently
want the railroads to go through the
wringer, with no effort to help them.
Others apparently share the view
Of the congress leaders.
This view would permit many Of the
railroads to 90 into bankruptcy, with
all that would mean IN deepening the
present depression.
Hardly intelligent, to put It mild
". smacls a good deal Of q society
run by uncivilized people.
Certainly not in keeping with the
idea Of 4 planned society, which has
been 50 closely associated with the
present national administration.
Permitting a large part Of the M
tons railroads to sink into bankrupt
ey is not the cooperation between gov
ernment and industry we have beer
hearing so much about.
In some other fields, there are more
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-07-01

encouraging signs of cooperation.
New York Stock Exchange and Sc
curities and Exchange commission
(SEC) are doing more than merely
talk cooperation.
They are working to put into effect
"clean up rules and policies to elimi-
nate various stock exchange evils and
obviate the necessity of drastic leg
islation.
Instead of the "crack down."
with it's bitterness and time-kill-
ing controversy, there have been
friendly conferences looking to
agreement with a minimum of
lost time and motion.
Similar tendencies are being shown
in the relations of the SEC and the
utilities.
Apparently some persons in gov
ernment and industry are beginning
to realize the truth of the words of
Charles Steinmetz, great electrical
engineer and champion of the work
ers.
Cooperation is not a sentiment
it is an economic necessity" Stein
metz said.
There is one thing which no Amer
lean will remember with pleasure from
these times. That is the frequency
with which local and state govern
ments allow economic pressure, petty
politics, prejudice or sheer stupidity
to make them neglect the helpless
who should be cared for.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

and complete information concerning
its growth, finances, geographical dis
tribution and comparative strength
as between one country and another.
The current issue is particularly
valuable as it contains for the first
time complete statistical information
Of trade union growth over a long,
period. 1t shows that in 1904 an ag-
gregate membership of less than 212
millions were concentrated in the ma
tiona1 centers of the countries affliat-
ed to the /. F.. T. U.
Membership grew fairly steadily IN
pre-war years to total of about Z u
millions in 1913. 1t reached q maxi
mum of over % millions in 1919. Post
war trade depression affected the un-
ions in practically all countries affil-
lated to the |. f. T. u, but member
ship remained fairly steady between
1924 and 1892; and in 1887 reached
total of practically 1919 millions.
This is all the more remarkable in
vnew of the fact that since 1888 the
German unions, which affiliated pre-
viously a membership Of nearly 5 mil
lions, ceased to belong to the |. F.
T. U. Italy's unions disconnected in
1926. Austria has also been absent
from the l. f. T. Y. since 1884, repre-
senting loss Of about half million
members. Other smaller European
countries such as Latvia, Lithuania,
Danzig, and the Saar are likewise
now without representation in the in
ternational organization, in which
about 25 countries are represented.
The right to quit work, being IN
herent in the individual, must also be
recognized as inherent IN any num-
ber Of individuals. Individual rights
are effective only as they are exer-
cised collectively and by concert.

ABOUT THOSE FREIGHT CARS

Senator Shipstead Of Minnesota,
has proposed that PWA build 100000
new freight cars; and Secretary
Ickes says that sounds good to him.
1t will be good if the roads are not
allowed TO issue stock OF boost freight
on the strength Of those cars. Cen
orally speaking, when the American
people make a contribution to the
railroads, the railroad magnates cap
italize that contribution They CAPT
talized free rights Of way, and pub
lie lands almost the size Of Texas,
and subsidies that run into hundreds
Of millions Of dollars.
Build the cars and keep the title
till they're paid for.

PROBING THE PROFITS on MILK


Judge Wilkerson, Of the federal dis
trict court Of Chicago, has isued a
subpoena to the international Asso-
citation Of Zee Cream Manufacturers,
with headquarters in Washington, d.
G. The association is to come before
an investigation by the department
Of justice, and bring all their records
and correspondence with Al affiliates.
The investigation has been Oh for a
year, and is expected to last a good
while yet.
The chief object Of inquiry in milk
is the enormous increase from farm
to city consumer IN the Chicago dis
trict farmers are said to get 3.74
cents a quart for milk, delivered at the
railroad or truck station and that is
more than they get in some places.
The working family in the city pays
u cents; a profit of go per cent. And
it might be added further that sew
eral Of the insiders Of the milk
handling companies draw salaries Of
from 100000 a year, up.
Probe Of such a thing cannot be
too deep on drastic

operations the other day. An advance
loan of 100000 was delayed; all city
and state funds had run out; and at
the state capital, the legislature was
quarrelling over methods.
The city director of finance was
trying to borrow $1,000 to help the
sick and the babies; but the mayor
said that would be "just shot IN the
arm" for the city needed $l'ooo an
hour, anyway And it has been very
short of money for months.
