THEY TOOK LITTLE HE'LL
FOR A RIDE
CBy BRUCE CATION

\ few years ago, when the big city gangs
Wen. making more noise and doing more
business than they are now, it was common
IT, -dy that they were inevitable" That
is. il was argued that city slums, plus eco
comic pressure, plus the natural spirit Of
admiration which the big shots aroused in
the breasts of impreSSionable youths, were
contain to produce criminal gangs.
The argument was true enough, as far
as it Went The only trouble was that it
didn't so far enough. For while it was i'm
possible to keep those causes from produc-
ing gangs, it was perfectly possible to re-
move some of the causes.
Not so many years ago, a certain section
Of Chicago was known as Little He'll" 1t
uas a slovenly district of crowded and in
adequate homes. and the young fellows
@ho were growing up had no outlets for
recreation except the streets, the pool
rooms. and the speakeaSies. 1t was wild
and lawless region; within Is months 1t
saw AZ murders, most Of them centering
around a street intersection which picked
ND the significant name of Death Corner
Here was a perfect breeding ground for
rhine The development of gangs in that
ueighborhood was truly inevitable" The
only possible remedy was to change the
neighborhoOd.
That idea at length got hold of certain
public-spirited citizens. They bestirred
themselves, interested the city government,
did some work and spent some time and
money on their own hook.
Fairgrounds began to appear Recrea-
ton clubs were organized. And presently
things were fixed so that growing lad
could get into a baseball game, or do
little boxing in gymnasium, or do some
bowling. when he wanted to have little
fun.
The results were magical. Little Help
changed, over the years. The boys; who
had naturally drifted into the petty gangs
which. in turn, fed them into the big
gangs. had other things to do with their
time. Baseball and bowling were just nat
'uraly more fun than petty thievery and
ALLEY fights.
ing the change says, the young fellows
once were recruited to fill the gaps in the
ranks of the gunner ARE now more inter
.ested in Joe DiMaggio than in Al Capone.
A growing yOungster is going to have
some sort of outlet for his energies, and he
is going to have some sort of idol to model
himself after. If society doesn't provide
the right outlet and the right idol, he will
ind his own. Society pays for its neglect
n,this matter with gangs, crime, and gen.
erai bad citizenship.
:, But the remedy is fairly simple. Any
time society chooses to spend on proven
ton of crime fifth of the sum it ordinarily
5pends on It's control and punishment, ii

railroads are so poor that they cam
not buy the new equipment which
they need, agree that high wages
bring about prosperity which ex-
tends to all the people,
BOndhOlders Not Public Enemies"
The point in Mr.. Whitney's letter,
however, which bothers me most is
this: 1--WE know that the carriers are
seeking wage cut in order to divert
more wealth into the channels of the
bankers and bondholders" Why does
he think the bondholders are not en-
titled to fair play? These bondhold-
ers are not public enemies. They are
insurance companies, savings banks,
colleges, hospitals, churches and in
dividuals. They loaned money to build
tracks and depots, to buy locomotives
and freight cars-the equipment which
gives railroad workers their jobs.
Today, railroads representing one
third of the nations mileage are pay
ing no interest on these bond issues.
Moreover, only small portion of the
original dollar loaned may ever be
paid back unless wages are reduced
to compare with wages paid in other
industries. Furthermore, the other
two-thirds of the carrier system has
been skating along the brink of bank
ruptcy. If railroad workers are en-
titled to the ehighest wage rates in
history, then bondholders are at least
entitled to the agreed interest and re-
payment of the money they loaned to
provide these employees with their
jobs.
Hurting Their Own Cause.
However, l doubt if Mr.. Whitney's
attitude is approved by intelligent
wage workers. They know it does not
help labor's cause. Employers cannot
go on paying high wages and losing
money, nor can they increase the SELL
ing price of their goods and risk the
loss of their customers. AS result of
labor leaders demands, employers
must do one of two things: Cd Throw
up their hands and go out of business
or co seek every method possible
to get along with fewer employees.
Will either development aid "a pros
perity that extends to all the people,?
Business this Fall will be better.

ANNOUNCEMENT

For several months production has
been running below consumption.
That condition cannot continue. Ac-
tivity is already increasing. Hence, |
am convinced that business is going
to be good for the next several
months, at least.
Over the longer-term, however, I
am not so certain. 1 know that so long
as labor leaders maintain their pre-
sent attitude we can have no per-
manent prosperity. Even the prospect
that the government may have to
take over the carriers does not seem
to worry railroad labor Like other
workers, they think government job
is pretty soft and secure. This may
be true as long as only a few people
work for Uncle Sam. AS, however,
the number of public employees in
creases, the security of all public en-
ployes decreases. AS more and more
employers go out of business, less
money can be collected from taxes I'd
pay government salaries
No Prosperity Without Teamwork
Yet, the government is helping la
Dor leaders antagonize employers.
Through relief, the government is
supporting labor leaders in their or
ganizing and striking efforts; while,
through the NLRB's radical decisions
the government is helping to widen
the rift between employer and worker.
| Today, management and labor are
pulling in opposite directions. This
| situation cannot last forever. We can
never have real prosperity until thew

going to take a great deal of time,
the members say.
Of time they have had little. Gov
ernor Hoey appointed the commission
only a few weeks ago and it held its
first sitting just a week or so ago. It's
second was in Greensboro Wednesday
of this week, and it's third will be in
Asheville Friday night of next week.
The findings of this commission will
be transmitted to the legislature after
Hoey has had the report. And
the 1889 body will have to order the
States going.
The commission illustrates it's own
purposes by the division of the stu
dents school life. North Carolina is
quite rural and agricultural. The
school year is therefore kept at eight
months as concession to the season
al character of agricultural and in
dustrial life in North Carolina. And
at that North Carolina schools will
have to compete with states which
have 1O8 and even 120 months of
school life.
