|. 7. U. MAY LEAD in
ORGANIZING DAILY
NEWS WRITER'S
BY JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS) There is likeli-
hood that the international Typo
graphical Union may be called upon
to unsnarl the tangle which has been
caused by the activities Of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild in the City of
Chicago during recent months.
1t is not known here yet what the
attitude of the executive council of
the international Typographical Union
would be on the matter, but there are
many who believe that the mixup
makes natural" for the /. T. u. to
handle.
l. T. U. First Organized Writers
It is recalled that the first news
writer's unions in the United States
were chartered by the international
Typographical Union. There were
number of these unions scattered over
the country, but for some reason or
other interest in them seems to have
died out. Milwaukee and Scranton,
Pa, have old-established news writ
ers' unions affiliated with the /. T. u.
There is a natural affinity between
the composing room and the editorial
room. The employees in these two de-
partments are closely associated in
their work. Their outlook on life and
public questions and the policies of
their employers have a great SIM
ilarity.
A printer must print what is given
him to print regardless of the view
point Of the customer or the employer,
provided the customer or employer
pays the scale of wages and observes
other union regulations. That has
been the policy of the international
Typographical Union during its entire
existence. 1t does not agree with the
totalitarian idea in reference to the
use of the printed word.
More Than Moonshine Needed
Newspaper reporters and editors are
a nomadic lot If they were to be
guided by the rule of working only for
such employers with whose policy they
agree, they would miss more meals
than they would obtain. After all, the
printing business is only a bread-and-
butter affair. 1t is marvellous to have
high ideals and to roam around mil
lion miles beyond the moon," but the
groceryman, landlord and others want
cut of something more substantial
than moonshine, it is pointed out.
Victor A. Olander, secretary treas
urer of the Illinois State Federation of
Labor, who has been entrusted by the
A. f. of L. with the handling of the
American Newspaper Guild imbroglio
in the city of Chicago, says that it will
be all right with him for the daily
newspaper editors and reporters to or
ganize in any manner they may see
fit, just so long as they do not join the
Committee for Industrial Organization

In THE NEWS
AUBREY w. WILLIAMS

Aubrey w. Williams, executive di-
rector of the National Youth Admin
istration, looks like Southern revival
preacher; and rightly. He is re-
vival preacher, deeply sincere one;
though the creed which he breaches
and helps to practice is one of fair
play in this life for underprivileged
folk, particularly the young.
You can see how this sincere re-
ligion, for it is no less, has shaped his
life. He was born in Springfield, Ala,
in 1890, of planter stock that had been
impoverished by the Civil War, and
had not gotten over it. They moved to
Birmingham; and Aubrey, at the age
of Z, went to work as bundle delivery
boy for laundry A year later, he
became cash boy in department
store He knows the ropes by ex-
perience.
He had about years formal school
ing by the time he was 10; but then
he went to Maryville College, in Ten
nessee, to study for the ministry.
Later, he went to the University of
Cincinnati; by this time committed to
social work In 1918, he went to
France with the Y. M. C. A.; but when
the Yanks began to arrive, he joined
the artillery of the First Division.
After the Armistice, he got a furlough
and attended the University of Bor-
deaux, getting a degree in philosophy
before he came back
He was secretary of the Wisconsin
Conference of Social Work, which Sc
cured the passage of the Children's
Code, the first one in the United
States. He went to the American Pub
lie Welfare Association and was bor-
rowed by two states for relief work.
In June, 1888, Harry Hopkins got him;
and he has been in that neighborhood
ever since.
He is tall, lean, rather dark for the
old colonial stock; and the intense look
on his face is almost habit. He is
married, with four boys.

Speeding Must Stop

Speeding must stop in Hamilton or
the current fines of 81 for every mile
exceeding the speed limit will be in
creased to SIS a mile, Municipal Judge
Elmer N. Davidson warned this week
when he fined three violators the regu-
lation rate.
Yes, sir, Judge, and if you really
mean it, start yanking in the speed
violators on our High Street speedway
from the Erie Boulevard to the High
and Main Street bridge and you will
collect enough money to pay $825,000,
Hamilton's share of the proposed sew
age treatment and disposal system in
less than six months.

METAL TRADES
HEAD BACKS NAVY
SECOND TO NONE

Houston, Tex. (ILNS).--A navy
fully adequate to protect the United
States was urged by President John P.
Frey of the A. F. of L. Metal Trades
Department, as the resolution COM
mittee of the departments thirtieth
annual convention reported recommen-
dations that the administration speed
up it's "second to none" navy building
program and isolate aliens now hold
ing jobs on the Panama Canal and
Panama Railroad.
The crisis in Europe, President Frey
said, fully justifes the position of the
Metal Trades Department that this
government must not only build a
navy second to none, in relation to
foreign powers, but must maintain it
at this level. Such a fleet, he said, is
invaluable as a trading point" in fu-
ture disarmament conferences.
Praising President Roosevelt's ap-
peal to foreign powers to preserve the
peace of the world as splendid act, !"
Frey emphasized that his unionists al
ways have been opposed to the settle
ment of international disputes through
force.
1T is equally true, however, that
we have given practical consideration
to the international gangsterism which
has marked the policy of dictator-con-
trolled countries abroad" he said.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE
THRU MEDIATION
AND CANCELLATION

New York City (ILNS) Edward
F. McGrady, nov vice president of the
Radio Corporation of America but
whose fame rests on the fact, proved
scores Of times, that he was one of the
greatest settlers and conciliators Of la
Dor disputes in the world, showed by
an address before the American Arbi-
tration Association that his views
haven't changed with his job.
Il like the word voluntary" said
Mr. McGrady. 1T has sound Of free
dom, which we value so highly in this
democratic country of ours. 1t has
been my experience that when men
are given the opportunity for volun-
tary action, their efforts are usually
met by success.
Just the opposite is true when COM
pulsion is employed The use of force
will never prevail over justice. Force
has never conclusively and finally
settled any issue between men"
Social Planning Lags
He went on to say:
"That our machine age has produced
an involved and highly complex eco
nomic structure is admitted by all.
Interlacing ties have created con-
dition under which no single group can
become entirely independent of all
others. Unfortunately, our social
planning has not kept pace with our
chronological improvements. There
have been increasing hardships and
iniustices in our social and economic
system.
"These maladjustments must be
corrected not only for the welfare of
industry and labor but for the peace
and well-being of the nation. firmly
believe that there is a solution for all
human problems. The problems of
industry and labor are essentially hu-
man and can, therefore, be solved. Pa
tience, reason and complete co-opera-
tion is the answer. Industrial peace
is not a God-given product. 1t must
be cultivated and worked for con-
stantly.
Peace is Mark of Civilization
Let me put it this way; concilia-
ton, mediation and voluntary arbitra-
ton are the marks of civilization. They
are the enemies of distrust and force
They do away with the fang and the
claw.
.In the American Arbitration Asso-
citation and it's Voluntary Industrial
Arbitration Tribunal this country has
one of the finest possible agencies tc
promote industrial peace and good
will"
Mr.. McGrady spoke at a dinner in
his honor. He was given gold medal
in recognition of his service in the
cause of industrial peace. Sponsors OF
the dinner included many leaders OF
finance and industry and prominent
labor executives.

Administrator Andrews said the
Bureau of Labor Statistics now is col
lecting facts concerning wage condi-
tions in the industry and will present
them to the committee soon.
Industry Already Surveyed
The textile committee will fix wage
of not less than 25 cents nor more than
40 cents for workers engaged in man
ufacture and finishing of yarns and
fabrics other than wool and hosiery.
Wool, hosiery and worsted woven
goods were omitted from the commit
tees jurisdiction because wage de-
termination for these branches did
not appear to be necessary immedi-
ately.
Andrews said bureau of labor sta
tistics survey of 383, 1000 employees in
the cotton textile branches last year
showed that 26.7 per cent of employees
received less than 40 cents an hour
and dc per cent received less than
25 cents an hour.
When the committee completes it's
work it will present recommendation
to Andrews. If he rejects it, he can
not change the recommendation but
must refer the matter back to the
same committee or appoint new one.

More than 1000 acres of the Miami
Conservancy District will be open for
supervised hunting during the squirrel
season, from September 26 to Oc-
tober 10.
Farmers in the Miami area in CO
operation with the Miami Conservancy
District and Division of Conservation
will grant permission to hunters to
use their land for the duration of the

A more definitely supervised hunt
ing program will be set up in the Mi
ami district for the pheasant and rab-
bit season which opens November 10.
Each hunter will be required to reg
lister and obtain a special tag to use
for Identification, and to check out at
the point of entry.
Safety zones with hunting prohib-
tied have been set aside to prevent
over-shooting. Propagation areas des-
ignated by signs will also be barred
to all shooting.
The number Of hunters permitted to
use the conservancy lands will be linz
tied to one man to every 20 acres.
Hunters unable to obtain permits due
to the days quota being filled, must
wait until the following day. This
measure is being used to prevent over
crowding and minimize the danger Of
hunting accidents.
Farmers in the district are giving
the new program their fullest coop
Grafton, because in other years their
lands have been crowded with hunters
who disregarded the farmers property
rights and in many instances violated
the game laws.
More than 182, 900 fish were trans
ferred by the fish rescue truck IN the
past month and placed in lakes and
streams where more favorable condi-
tions exist for them.
The largest number of fish We're

War Death To Democracy
(From Washington Daily News)

(From Washington Daily News)
Recently a great hue and cry has
been raised in this country and abroad
to "save democracy by going to war
as if democracy could be saved by war.
A new World War at this time would
doom democracy, win or lose. Out of
the shambles would rise either COM
munism or fascism, or both, but not
democracy. The only thing that can
"save democracy" is peace, at home
and abroad peace made durable by
the spirit of live-and-let-live; trade,
jobs, individual and national security
and some sort of international under
standing based on fair dealing.

Colby Hortnett Cheerful
In Foce of DismoI Future.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

NEW YORK, August 2.-n 1t pays
to laugh in the teeth Of misfortune,
Gabby Hartnett will inherit $6,O00.-
00035 from a rich uncle week from
Thursday-if he lives that long.
Down in Philadelphia last week, Mr..
Hartnett lost three games out Of four
to the Phillies. That is trick which
takes some doing. He also lost four
pounds of flesh a day, dropping from
the mastodon division to the ranks of
the stylish stouts. He also had another
look at Dizzy Deans right arm, very
short look. The Phils chased Diz away
All told. Mr.. Hartnett could give
cards and spades to Job, the great.
silent, triple-threa sufferer Of sew
eral years ago. Yet Gabby keeps on
grinning.
There was a character like that, by
the name of Mark Tapley. in Dickens
Martin Chuzzlewit" This Tapley
was highly whimsical character
you could butter your toast with him.
He took great credit for being jolly
under painful circumstances Give
him case of smallpox. lodge him in
nail-studded barrel, push him gently
over Niagara Falls, and Tapley would
come out of it with smile that
counted 500 points in his own private
book.

AIwoys Telling His Polls
Just How jolly He Wos.

Il certainly am one jolly guy" Mr..
Tapley would confide to his pals
There is no record of what his pals
said in reply. but I would guess that
they got pretty tired Of having such a
conscientiously cheerful bird in their
midst
Gabby Hartnett is somewhat diff
ferent He does not strain for his
smiles, nor does he score points for
them. They come naturally to the
Gabber, and it's just as well that they
do. for his run of evil luck has reduced
the Cubs to very precarious perch
on third place in the National League,
eight and a half games behind the
Pirates.
Frank Demaree is ailing. Bill Her
man, the infields key man, has
wrenched leg. Larry French's arm
weariness fingers on. Diz Dean-well,
your guess on Dean is as good as his
own. and maybe whole lot better.
Dizzy did not pitch bad game
against the Phils, in his third start
since returning from the dead. But
he didn't pitch we'll enough to win.
He failed to bear down in the clutch,
which seems to substantiate the recent
forecast of Pie Traynor that Jerome
would have trouble producing his old,
overarm speed when he needed it.
"Diz is smart enough and game
enough to sidearm his way through
some of these games" said Mr. Tray
nor. but what will he do when he gets
In a hole?"
Gabby Hartnett manages to laugh
that question off.
Who's gonna get him in a hole,
Pittsburgh" he demanded. Listen,
we're not giving up on Dean. We're
not even thinking about giving up on
nim. Neither is Diz He didn't finish
game the other day, so what? 1t
was a close game and was playing a
little strategy.
