plastered back together again and
placed in the show window from
which he had been snatched.
1t all happened this way. The In
dustrial Bank of Henderson set up
window display in connection with
the launching of it's 1889 Christmas
savings club. In the window was
miniature likeness of Santa Claus,
with his pack on his back, and with
some 500 in cash on his person. The

cashier of the bank, broke through
the huge plate glass window, stole
Santa and his pack, took the $40 in
cash, and tossed the dummy atop the
Kittrell and Harris store on South

The boys today aroused suspicion
when they began making purchases
of clothing and shoes in local stores.
An investigation was started, and of

the money back. The boys told all
to the officers and led them to the top
of the building, where old Santa's
form was also recovered.
The plate glass window and the
money were both insured, so that the
bank lost nothing.
1t was said both boys had been in
court earlier this week for like tlliev-

Just what is behind the silk boy
colt, anyway?
Is there more than an effort to re-
buke Japan for it's attack on China
and its violation of international law? :?
Are some of the boycott leaders
more interested in helping Soviet Rus
sia than in helping Chica?
There are indications this may be
the case.
Soviet Russia wants Japan hurt, for
its own purposes. American labor de-
nounces all that militarist Japan
stands for and denounces communism,
too.
Prominence of communist and
near-communist leaders and organi-
ations in the boycott movement is
suspicious.
They apparently don't care if Amer
leans are hurt, as long as Russia is
served.
Nor apparently do they care if
American labor unions are hurt, which
they certainly are by boycott that
hits American industry.
A big point in the defense of the
silk industry by organized labor is
that it is an American industry.
Silk stockings, silk clothing of all
kinds, are MADE IN AMERICA, not
in Japan or any other country.
Labor's opposition to the silk boy
cott is squarely in line with labor's
concern for union-made American
goods and services.
The American Federation of Labor
proposes to impress this concern upor
all America by agreat campaign fol

turers who employ members of A. F

worker can take part, confident thai
in so doing he is serving the best in
terests of his country.

Logic of the silk boycott leads in.
evitably to starvation for American
workers.
But logic is apparently not a
strong point with the silk boycotters.
Muddle-headedness is more char
acteristic of their activities.
If they thought things through,
they wouldn't be asking a boycott
until they had made provisions for
the American workers deprived
of job by the boycott.
Seemingly the silk boycotters want
American silk workers to starve or
go on relief in an effort to hit Japan.
The silk workers don't like the idea
and say so plainly. They can't see
why they, Of all the population, should
be the goats in boycott experiment.
And in this they are staunchly sup
ported by labor, both A. F. of L. and
CIO.
Ii the crowd shouting for a silk boy
cott wants the cooperation of silk
workers, they must agree to support
the silk workers.
Will they do it? Hardly.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

So far, echo supplies the only
answer.
All three governments of these ma
tions are telling their peoples that
they must have things which can be
secured only by war. All three are
actually engaged in undeclared wars.
Japan is using large part of her land
and aim military forces in China;
Italy is using much smaller proper
tion of these arms in Spain; and Ger
many is using in the same torn PENN
sula a still smaller proportion of her
ayiators and tanks. But all three
countries are actually engaged IN
foreign war at the present moment.
1t has been clear for some time that
the Nazi cabinet which orders the lives
of more than 6O,000,000 people SO
closely that it tells them how much
butter each of them may eat is hav-
ing very pretty quarrel in its own
ranks. Apparently, this is coming to
head. Word comes frob Berlin that
Won Blomberg, war minister, is about
to retire; and Colonel General Goer-
ing will take Won Blomberg's place
with additional powers.
Various other stories are coming
out. One is that the army officers
are about through with Hitler, and
mean soon to proclaim monarchy.
Another-for which there are few
bits of evidence, though nothing that
can be called complete proofs that
the basic quarrel in Berlin is between
those who would grant Mussolini's
plea to throw enough forces into Spain
to give Franco an immediate victory,
and those who object to this.
The one certain fact in all the
pother is that no spats among dicta-
tors will give the German people an
atom more of liberty until they can
claim it of their own strength.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1888
THE SIMPLE EXPLANATION

Senator Carter Glass, Of Virginia,
eighty years old, rock-ribbed conserv-
ative, savage critic Of most of the New
Deal, is Introducing a bill to abolish
holding companies in the banking
business. It has been found that 50
holding companies control $50 banks;
and the holding company is one Of
the slickest devices ever known for
lodging responsibility.
Labor approves legislation to lessen
the power Of massed capital and hold
it more closely to account, which Is
the purpose Of the Glass bill. But how
did Carter Glass come to father such
a measure?
Very simply. The holding company
is one Of the tricks Of big business
which every honest man instinctiveg
resents when he sees it applied il q
field which he knows. Carter Glass
knows banking, and no matter how
cantankerous OF prejudiced he may be,
he Is honest That's ALL

By the negotiators, was referred back
to the membership for ratification.
Present wage and hour schedules
are continued for the period; but the
new agreement is considered more
rigid than the old in the matter Of
enforcement.
To the observer, this looks like a
piece Of real craftsmanship And it is
oddly like some of the earlier efforts
of men more commonly called states
men. Many old treaties between war
ring states were concluded, not for
perpetuity, but for term Of years.
There Shall be peace between Athens
and Sparta for thirty years, ran the
agreement which was supposed to end
the great civil war of ancient Greece
and didn't.
Two years is a short time; but it is
just twice as long as most industrial
agreements Of the sort; and this, con-
sidering the present business slump,
is a distinct triumph for the workers.

WAGNER
Asks Banks to Finance
Home Building

Troy, N. Y. (ILNS)-The national
building program offers safe
and profitable outlet for capital and
banks should invest in it, Senator
Robert F. Wagner, of New York, told
a bankers convention here.
Addressing bankers from Eastern
New York, Wagner, author of the
federal housing act, said:
"What more socially or eco
nomically beneficial use can be
made of the peoples savings than
financing the building of the peo-
pies homes
The housing field, he added, offers
American bankers "signal oppor-
tunity to discharge their responsible
ity to their stockholders, to ther
community and to the nation"
"You know" he said, chat this
responsibility is not discharged by
using all your deposits in making
loans outside your community or by
purchasing securities.
"A bank that follows this policy
might, keep it's deposits safe and even
prosper, but it would not justify its
existence as a bank and would not
fulfill its obligation to the commu.
nifty which supports it."
Federal legislation, he said, has
made the financing Of housing safe
and profitable.

The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-02-11

There are several cheering aspects
of our present situation which should
not be lost to sight.
First of these is the fact that by
February /, II states were actually
paying unemployment insurance. Wis
consin, getting the jump on the other
AZ, started such payments in 1886.
The other states, in alphabetical order,
are Arizona, Connecticut, Maine, Mary
land, New York, North Carolina, Ore
gon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West
Virginia.
New York started February 1, and
the occasion was thought important
enough that Gov Lehman personally
handed out the first two checks at
Albany The District of Columbia is
also making payments. The recogni-
tion Of public responsibility is almost
as valuable as the cushion" afforded
by the payments.
Another good thing for which la
Dor organization is responsible is that
the steel industry paid S135, 100000
more to its workers in 1887 than in the
previous banner year of 1929 1876,
100000 instead of S841, 100000. BY
just 50 much has buying power from
that industry been increased; and
similar things have happened else
where.
1t IS good to know these things
and it is good also not to let the little
start we have made as nation on
the right road be taken as an excuse
for stopping.
When three great nations are under
the absolute control of military dicta-
torships; when these three nations,
already armed to the teeth, are spend
ing an appalling proportion of their
total income on further war prepar-
ations; what are the chances for con
tinued world peace?
