APPOINT PROGRAM
SUGGESTED FOR
R. D CARRIERS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-George
M. Harrison, chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association, has put
before the Presidents emergency
board his ideas on the essentials of
railroad reform. In sum, these are:
/. Put all forms of transportation
under the same regulating body, which
he calls for convenience the Transpor-
tation Board Only in this way, he
holds, can traffic be regulated so as to
produce fair competition. Mr.. Harri-
son plainly does not intend to get rid
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, for he assigns it an important
work, as will be seen.
For More Flexible Service
2. Apportion traffic according to the
service best fitted to handle it. Mr.
Harrison frankly says that railroad
labor believes the rails best qualified
to handle heavy and long distance traf-
fic, and suggests 200 to 800 miles as
the distance beyond which the railroad
is probably the most efficient agency.
But he declares that this should be
fixed only after careful study and ex-
pertinent by the Transportation Board
3. He would use the transportation
Board to make rail service more mod
ern and flexible. His statement on
this point is as follows:
"The railroads, in our judgment,
must adopt new method Of giving
service to the public by the operation
Of light and high-speed equipment, so
that they can run more frequent units
of transportation and move when the
public wants to move That will re-
quire a change in the present heavy
power and heavy equipment"
Limit on Bonds Asked
Would you apply that both to pas
senger and to freight service 2" asked
Mr.. Lands, chairman of the board;
and Mr.. Harrison answered Yes"
A. Rates should be fixed which will
enable the railroads to develop re-
serve fund equal to three years fixed
charges before being allowed to boost
dividends; and the l. c. G. is to be
given the job of enforcing this.
5. A sharp limit on railroad bonds.
Harrison would limit them to 90 per
cent Of the value of the property as
found by the I. c.. c. He points out
that national bank is limited in its
loans on building to so per cent Of
its appraised value-but can buy rail
road bonds that run to IS or 80 per
cent of the value of the railroad.

The fact that Karl Kautsky was per-
mitted to live in Vienna until the age
of "a, and was driven out only when
Hitler took over that ancient strong
hold of the ocial-Democrats, is evi-
dence of the strong hold he had on
the minds not only of the Austrian
working people but also of the Aus
trian nation. His death in Amster-
dam, Holland (the same land in which
Kaiser Wilhelm found refugee, oc-
Cured on October II.
Karl Kautsky was one of the old
guard of the tremendously vital Ger
man Social Democracy; which means
that he possessed mental capacity
far beyond the ordinary, standing be-
side Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
as among the very first and foremost
of the men who hewed out of the solid
rock of European feudal-capitalistic
regimes place for the constructive
activities of the organized workers,
both in their trade unions and their
political movement.
AS editor of Die Neue Zeit for 80
years, he impressed upon the entire
Socialist world movement his concep-
tions and interpretations of Socialist
thought and activity. AS an inter
prefer and editor of the works of Karl
Marx his word was authoritative.
Kautsky was an irreconcilable foe
of Bolshevism. Doubtless he ex.
pressed most completely the German
Social Democratic resentment that
the backward nation" - Russia =
should be the one to undertake first
the establishment of Socialist ma.
tional structure In the two decades
since the close of the World War anc
the founding of the Soviet Republic
we have lost much of the meaning, as
we'll as the accustomed use, of the
word "Bolshevism," in it's replacement

Using Farm Surplus
To Feed Lower
Third" Is Planned

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Plans
for dumping" the agricultural sur
plus of this country at home, rather
than abroad, are being carefully con-
sidered by the Department OF Agfi-
culture. according to public state
ment by Secretary Wallace.
Roughly, the idea is to sell the Wheat
crop at home. The mills will take by
far the greater part of it for ultimate
sale to the upper two-thirds OF our
population. The government VIII take
the rest, to be turned over at lower
price for the one-third now ill-ted as
well as ill-clad and ill-housed; Uncle
Sam standing the loss.
Every plan for stabilizing farm
prices comes against this irregular
but periodic surplus. The Supreme
Court knocked out the A. A. A. plan,
which included a certain control OF
production. The McNary Haugen bills
vetoed by President Coolidge provided
for the sale of surpluses abroad, and
for the American farmer, collectively
speaking, carrying the cost himself
through the equalization fee. 1t may
come up again. The Wallace state
ment is frankly temporary.
It is also true that surplus of
wheat is more likely to be used in the
lnear future than surplus of cotton,
which is another snag.

MAP CAMPAIGN
AGAINST JUDICIAL
APPOINTMENTS
State Wide Conference Reveals Strong
Opposition To Amendment-Lab
Opposed To Amendment
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O-A statewide cam
paign by radio and the daily press to
publicize the danger TO the democratic
principles of representative govern
ment contained in the proposed judi
cial amendment was mapped at con-
ference held at the Neil House Sunday,
October 16
More than 800 delegates from fra
ternal farm, trade and railroad unions
and civic bodies heard a number of
prominent speakers describe the
abridgement of freedom which the
amendment proposes and offer their
time and financial aid in informing the
electorate of the threat to their consti-
tutional privileges.
The conference was sponsored by
the Ohio League to Preserve Democ-
racy and Elected Judiciary, repre-
sentative group composed of or en-
dorsed by leaders in every field of en-
deavor Headquarters of the league
are in the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland.
Sylvester v. Mcmahon, Cleveland
attorney who is chairman of the
league, served as chairman of the
meeting and made the principal ad-
dress in which he outlined the argu-
ments in opposition to the proposed
amendment.
He then introduced Darlington T.
Marshall, former Chief Justice of the
Ohio Supreme Court, who expressed
strong opposition to the amendment
and proposed that an intensive radio
campaign be launched before the No
vember 8 election, when the proposal
will appear on a special ballot.
Thomas j. Donnelly, secretary
treasurer of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, assured the delegates that
the federation was unalterably OPP
posed to the amendment and would
cooperate wholeheartedly with the
league in assuring it's defeat. He de.
clared that if the amendment was
adopted, all Ohio judges and officials
would eventually be appointed.
| Judge Stanley Struble Of the Ham.
ilton County Common Pleas Court de-
clared that the amendment, which he
termed ubiquitous" was the pet pro-
posal of "class of lawyers who be-
lieve that the people are too damn
dumb to elect their judges, and, out
of the goodness of their hearts, they
feel called upon to offer to select the
judiciary for them.
Other speakers included Nicholas
Klein, vice-mayor of Cincinnati; John
Owens, president of the Ohio Indus
trial Union Council; Reed M. Winde-
gardner, member of the committee
which drafted the official arguments
against the proposal; John ri. Rohrich,
legislative agent of the Cleveland Fed
Grafton Of Labor; w. S. Lyman, negro

A number of kilograms from various
state organizations expressing oppo-
sition to the amendment were read.
Included were messages from the Ohio
State Grange and the Democratic War
Veterans of Ohio.

THE UPS AND DOWNS
OF PAYROLLS

Any friend of labor is glad that
$4,000 workers are being called back
to General Motors plants. But no one
who looks beyond the moment can
imagine that this solves a great and
pressing problem, or that the employ
ment situation in the auto industry is
anything but outrageous.
Here are the figures of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics on the average en-
ployment in the auto industry for each
month of last year, and the average
weekly payroll of that month:

WHAT NEXT?

A Syracuse, N. Y, manufacturer is
building plant designed for 24-hour
operation 365 days a year. Air-con-
ditioning and panels of glass blocks
eliminate the need for windows.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-10-28

Employment varied 24.8 per cent;
but payrolls varied more than SO per
cent in the year. The difference shows
the great number that were on part
time during a part of the year; but
the payrolls tell the real story. Can
anybody say that any industry is "sta-
bilized" to any important degree when
the workers get SO per cent more in
May than in December?
Automobiles, since they became a
major industry, have been the worst
major industry in the country for fuc-
tuating employment. The relief ex-
penditures of Detroit for years go
down and up per month with the rise
and decline of the number of cars
turned out. From its very start in
1888, this administration made efforts
to regularize work in this industry.
1t was an eminently common sensible
effort, and it accomplished something
but how much?
