ARTISAN AND ART

IT HE series of photographs which constitute the
the frontispiece of this issue illustrate the
daring, the precision, tbe coordnated skill of
mind and hand of the structural steel workers
without whom our sky-scrapers and all large
structures would be impossible. The blue prints
and work orders for this Baltimore hangar carry
the specification "No tolerance" precision and
nothing but precision 1t houses huge and delicate
mechanism that must move with precision. Mis-
takes mean costly error if not loss of life. The
whole is the creation of hand and mind of workers
who put ideas into material form for the use of
Society. Men in work clothes whose physical skill
and energy have created our material civilization
are essentially creative so that the skilled ar
tisian is an artist in his field In appreciation of
this relationship and the beauty of the products
of skilled labor, the Central Labor Union of Bal
timore has joined with the Baltimore Museum of
Art in a celebration of Labor Day. Baltimore
wants to bring together the skilled workers of in
Idustry and the skilled workers in the fine arts
land the works of both so that each may under
stand and appreciate the other. The idea is es,
sentally democratic and in keeping with oul
national ideals. The Baltimore Federation OF
/ Labor is to be commended for its foresight in
finding a new field for cooperation.

CHRONIC DISEASE

DISEASE is an afhiction wherever it falls, but
- in the low income groups disease is double
afliction because it handcaps the victim and it di-
verts dsproportonately family income from the
need Of the healthy to the sick. Acute disease,
as the technical person calls it, comes rather sud
denly but it goes also, while chronic disease de-
veops slowly almost imperceptibly, but it comes
to handicap its victim.
Chronic diseases increase with age the
body is less able to overcome them, but are by no
means restricted to the upper-age groups The
u. S. Public Health Service recently made a Nat
iona Health Survey covering 100000 families in
63 cities and % rural districts in 19 states. This
survey found that half the persons impaired by
chronic disease under As years of age and
70 percent under 55 years. One reason
for chronic disease among younger groups is prob
ably low income resulting in inability to have ade-
quate medical care or proper living standards. The
survey referred to found that disability expressed

COOPERATION INSTEAD OF RETALIATION

|TOFN w. HANES, member of the SEC, recently
} said: 81 believe that the time has come for bus
mess men to cease harping on the theme that the
government is the enemy of business. And it shall
be my everlasting endeavor to persuade govern
ment officials from uttering publicly or privately
the thought that business is the enemy of govern
ment"
Business men certainly don't want to feel that
government is their enemy. This breach between
government and business has been largely created
by politicians Who in recent years, have chastlSed
the many for the shortcomings of the few, in bus
inesS.
1t is politicians who have passed legislation
hamstringing and furnishing business. 1t is poll
ticians who have saddled business with a tax bur
den that makes operations next to prohtless IN
many instances. 1t is politicians who have forced
government into direct competition with business
lin certain fields, using to the full it's advantages
of tax-freedom and unlimited public credit. 1t is
politicians who have pilloried business men, and
hed them up to and ridicue. 1t is politicians
who have been undermining confidence in our
American system of government and fomentmg
class hatred between labor and capital.
1t is not business duty to make peace" with
government. Government exists to serve business
land the individual. Government is a means to an
|end not an end in itself. Government lives fnan-
|caly off the fruits Of business. Governments true
purpose is to act as an umpire not player, in the
commercial affairs of the people. Government
jshould punish the guilty-and cooperate with the
innocent. And that is exactly what the politicians
have prevented government from doing.
Government will find practically all business
ready to work in amcable accord with it when the
IpOlltcianS pursue policies of cOOperatiOn nSteaC

HighwaY Requirements
Is the Hope For Relief

Hope for relief from excessive auto
motive levies is seen in the findings
of highway surveys now being made in
many States through cooperation of
State Highway Commissions and the
IU. S. Bureau of Public Roads. Pre-
liminary studies of the surveys indi-
Gated that tax economies will be pos
sible because the greater proportion of
highway needs will be for generally
inexpensive roads.
Even if, by 1860, the increasing an
Inual use of motor vehicles and the
growing number of vehicles on the
road to create a 100 per cent increase
in traffic prepoEtionately, throughout
the entire road system, not more than
10 to 13 per cent of State highways
would require more than two traffic
lanes, it is reported by Mr.. R. E. Toms,
Chief of the Bureaus Division of De-
! sign. Writing in the "Buick Maga-
zine," Mr.. Toms indicates that not
more than two per cent of the nations
highways need be wider than two lanes
to accommodate the 100000 motor We
hicles which, at the indicated rate of
increase, would be travelling the roads
in 1860
Currently there are some 3,06S,921
miles of highways in the United States
and slightly more than $4,000 miles
in State Highway systems. On this
basis, only about two per cent of the
roads need be wider than two traffic
lanes which Mr.. Toms feels, easily will
care for an annual average travel up
to 1900 vehicles per day. Even il
maximum traffic were 5000, he says
the two-lane highway would not be
seriously congested.
i In Mr.. Toms opinion, proposed
super-highways and luxurious boule-
wards are largely unnecessary. High
way travel of sufficient volume to re.
quire the heavy expenditures involved
insuch projects is confined to the
: vicinity of populous urban areas. With
the threat of enormous expenditures
thus removed, it is believed that reas
onable tax rates, especially in view Of
the expected large increase in the
number of automotive taxpayers, will
provide adequate funds for the financ
ing of highways safe and satisfactor!
: for general use. The only other threa
{ to the automotive taxpayers pocket
books is seen in the practice of divert
ing highways funds to general pur
poses, thus preventing State Highwa!
Commissions from developing tn
, roads for which highway users have
paid.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Premier Chamberlain may have
thought that peace and war flew with
him to Adolph Hitler's mountain
castle. But there are few students
of history, of the World War, or of
the news that has been coming from
europe in the last four years, who
would say that Chamberlain's visit
will make more than few weeks diff
ference in the time when the conflict
breaks.
1t is one of the results of Hitler's
speech; and that speech, in its way,
was a masterpiece. Everyone has
known since the raid on Austria that
there are sharp differences between
Hitler and the staff Of the German
army. The staff believes that Ger
many must wait some years before
risking general war Hitler appar-
emily wants to start it now. But in
stead of overruling his generals to
their faces, he made a speech which
practically called the Sudetens in
Czechoslovakia to revolt, and promised
them help.
|
There are just two questions: How
much of the rights of Czechoslovakia
will Chamberlain agree to yield fo1
what he calls peace; and how much
vill the English people stand? Ger
tainly the Trades Union Congress of
InGlish workers did not advance visits
to Hitler, or any concessions. 1t call
ed for the government to stop Hitler
now; and to summon Parliament at
once.
"No British governing minister has
ever done such a thing before,
chorused the headlines. There is a
much more apt comparison. 1t is not
of record that any governor of Mis-
souri, ever rode into the mountains to
consult with Jesse James.

An American plane already has
made some test flights, and is expected
to go into the Translantic service this
fall, unless war prevents. It is a
sizeable article to take to the air. II
weighs AZ tons. 1t is 152 feet from
tip to tip of it's tremendous wings. It
has four engines, one of which it is
claimed would keep the plane aloft
and it's possible speed is over 200 miles
an hour. And it carries a crew of 8
and can take 72 passengers over the
ocean.
1t is claimed by the builders that
this is the largest practical plane yet
built; and inquiry at the Department
of Commerce confirms the claim. The
German plane Of similar size was nc
good at all, and the Russian one has
cracked up.
But the burning question which nc
one has answered is this: Why is a
social order that can build such mir
acle and fly it so silly as to let millions
of men stay idle when millions Of
things needto be done?

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, D. C.. GLNS).-George
Washington Hill of the American To-
bacco Co. is one of the great go-getters
of big business. He has, in his time,
raked in more thousand dollar bills
than the first George Washington
raked in of British soldiers at York
town. Here in his score for 1887, as
filed with the SEC, at the head of the
American Tobacco list:
G. w. Hill, president, .$3S0,976.17
Paul M. Hahn, V. p..-.-.-...... 206,6S5.69
Charles Neilley, v. p.,..-...... 206,585.69
II officers not named. l ,4O9, ,863.84
Vincent Riggio, bonus 156,585.69
A total of $2,36O,697.0s paid to p
men,. The latest report l have puts
the average wage in the tobacco in
dustry at little less than SIG week.
Assuming steady work all the year
which they don't have, the sum paid
to these % men would pay the wages
Of 1886 tobacco workers.
X x \
Also, please not that
G.. w. Hill gets five times the sal
ary of the President of the United
States;
Hahn and Neilley get a trife less
than three times the Presidents sal
airy, each;
Riggio gets a little over twice the
Presidents salary, and,
The II unnamed ones get an aver
age of $4,000 year, or $4,000 more
than the Presidents salary.
Do we need an investigation of
monopolies and near-monopolies ? One
guess.
In the difference between President
Roosevelt and Senator Glass on the
poll tax, labor will side with the Presi-
dent. To make citizen pay in order
to vote is a restriction on suffrage that
is absolutely certain to weaken labor
and strengthen those who would ex-
plot labor. Labor, as mere matter
of self defense, could be expected to
turn thumbs down on that scheme
and this is one place where expecta-
tions will be fulfilled.
Senator Glass says that many who
pay poll tax do not vote. That is not
the test. States with restrictions on
voting, poll tax or otherwise, cast a
much smaller share of their vote than
states with no such restrictions. just
as samples, the poll tax walls from
the ballot box the share croppers OF
the South and persons on relief. Yet
certainly, no people have greater neec
of having their voices heard by gov
ernment than these.

SILK INDUSTRY

Washington, D. C.-Because silk is
an animal fiber requiring different
processing than cotton and rayon and
because wages in the silk industry
have been generally higher than in
cotton and rayon, there is still pos
sibility that the silk industry will not
be included as part of the Committee
on Textiles now being organized by
Administrator Andrews, of the FAN
Labor Standards Act. There is also
a strong indication that hosiery will
be handled under a separate commit
tee.
