Suggested Royalty
Attend Expositions

1t has been suggested that the King
and Queen Of England be invited to
attend the San Francisco and New
York exposition, to be held during
1889. And certainly, visit of Their
Majesties to this country would be a
splendid gesture to troubled world,
illustrating as it would the firm friend
ship that exists between the two great
English-speaking democracies.
Furthermore, there is plenty of
past precedent for such an invitation,
and for its acceptance as we'll The
King and Queen recently paid state
visit to France, another of England's s
old friends and allies. And President
Roosevelt, though he has not gone
abroad since becoming Chief EXecu-
tive, has visited South America and
Canada in furthering his good neigh
Dor" policy. When the head of ma
jor nation goes to a foreign land, sees
and is seen by its people,, the inn
mensely important cause of better in
ternational understanding is substan-
TALLY furthercd.
The invitation to the King and
Queen should come not only from Of
ficials of this government, but from
the public as well-from editors in
every section Of the U. S.-who rep
resent the millions of Americans who
desire peace and friendship between
nations. To these citizens, such visit
would not be mere formal expression
of good will. 1t would typify the gen
uine regard that exists between the
United States and the British Empire.
And next year, when untold numbers
of people will go to New York and
San Francisco for the expositions, is
the logical time.

time the educational program was in
troduced. 1t was at the Decatur con-
vention of the Federation in 1882 that
the Importance of this movement was
brought to the attention of the dele
gates by resolution of Local Union No.
116.
In the adoption of said resolution by
the convention, the campaign was en-
dorsed by the Federation at that time.
While there has been gradual improve
ment in bringing this issue to the pub
lie, it has only been in recent months
that the issue has been getting pub
licity in the manner which it has de-
served.
The Buy American committee of
Local Union No. 11G has been doing
it's share in this program and aside
from placing pledge cards throughout
the city, the local has a picture reel,
including the picture on the store cards
and wording suitable for the campaign
This picture is owned by the local and
can be taken from one community to
the other, which is proving of great
value to the cause. There has been
considerable comment favorable to the
program, and we know of number
converted to the cause.

plicate the record of relative peace in
industry there, they need only follow
the inevitable conclusions drawn from
the report and deal honestly and di-
rectly with the organized workers in
the American Federation of Labor.
"If American employers were as
willing to recognize the rights Of work
ers as British employers have been,
and had shown a sincere willingness
to deal with the members Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, the ma
chinery of the National Labor Re-
lations Act would have been unneces-
sary because the rights embodied in
that act have long been recognized by
the British employers and voluntarily
accorded to the organized workers.
"The report demonstrates from the
British record what every student of
organized labor knows-that RESPONSE
BILE trade unionism is not matter of
restrictive law but of mutual conf
dence and respect, built up by long
experience of collective bargaining.
"The report ought to serve to make
many American industrialists review
their own labor policy. 1t is apparent
from the report that fair measure of
industrial peace rules in Britain be-
cause organized employers and organ
lied workers are actually working in
partnership on a businesslike basis of
mutual respect"

into an organization well able to care
for all of it's problems.
Stating that the Brotherhood had
met in convention yearly in Atlantic
City since 1909 and that successful
conferences have been held every two
years, he thanked the New Jersey men
for the use of such fertile soil.
Turing more serious, the leader of
the potters reminded the delegates
that there is no substitute for militant
trade unionism. Conceding that Gov
ernment supervision has been an aid
in many instances, he declared that too
much is not in the best interests of
the working people. New York state
was cited as an example. "What Gov
ernment can give you, Government can
take away" he warned to lusty round
of applause.
Declaring that real progress can
come only from alert and aggressive
trade unionism, such as the A. F. l..
program, President Duffy said, "Under
your leadership, you cannot but con-
tinue a great body"
President Louis Marcienti, when in

out of the slum shacks and tenements.
And these are costly not only to So
ciety in thefts and disturbances and
violences, but to the individuals in
terms of broken lives"
Mr.. Little represented the Federal
Government at the dedication of the
housing project, named in honor of
the late Brand Whitlock, American
ambassador to Belgium during the
German occupation The project has
264 low-rental dwellings ranging from
two to fve-room units and now 100
per cent rented.
The dwellings are restricted to
families of low income who have been
living under substandard conditions in
the Gity's slums. and sNAAse pocket
books would not pern1itskatte living
quarters. Limitations on tenants eli
gible to reside in Government prof.
ects also provide that their income
shall not exceed five times the monthly
rental, except for families with three
or more minor dependents, when the
income ratio to rent may be six to one.
Brand Whitlock Homes stands on a
15.7-acre site which once was slum
area exacting heavy toll in disease
and crime. Nineteen 3story apart
ments, 2-story row houses and 2-story
flats make up the development, cover
ing Is per cent of the site, thus leav-
ing more than l3 acres for play areas,
lawns, walks and drives.

larger employment gain. Our weight
ed figure shows only l4.6 per cent of
the membership unemployed in early
August, which compares with l5.7 per
cent in July (revised) and l6.3 per
cent in June. The gain in August is
the largest in any month this year.
"All these indications of improve
ment in business and employment are
straws to show how the wind is blow
ing. They brighten the outlook great
ly. Unless some unexpected reversal
occurs, workers have every reason to
expect better employment and further
business gains by fall. If this i'm
provcment continues business revival
should be under way again by next
spring.
"The chief union trades and indus
tries to benefit by an increase in jobs
were building, theatres, clothing, food
industries, building materials and mis-
cellaneous manufacturing industries.
Unemployment increased slightly in
printing, on railroads and in water
transportation"

FIRE TAKES $500 LIVES

This year, if past precedent holds,
some 500 people will be cremated in
burning buildings. Six thousand more
will die as the results of burns and
scads.
When an airplane crashes and a
dozen people burn to death, the news
makes international headlines and the
world is Mortified. Yet the public at
large is callous to the fact that our
annual total of deaths from fires is
greater than the toll would be from
eco airplanes carrying to flaming
doom II persons each.
Practically every one of those thous-
ands of fire deaths could be easily
prevented. Due to the carelessness of
adults, children are am ,ng the prin-
cipal sufferers. Unprotected stoves,
matches left about, steam and hot
water-these are major causes OF
death and suffering among the very
young. Death takes no holiday when
those things which may cause fires
and scalds are within reach of child's
untaught, exploring fingers.
Equally dangerous, particularly IN
the case of adults, is the practice OF
starting stoves and furnaces with
kerosene, gasoline or other inflam-
mable liquids. You may get away
with it thousand times. But the
thousandth and first time may mean
a job for the undertaker--with you
and possibly others as the objects OF
interest.
Next time you read of d spectacular
disaster, reflect that something equally
horrible can occur in your home. Think
of this before YOU stir up ibalky fire
with kerosene ,Ehink OF it again
when children arelabout. 1t is easy to
prevent fre-but it is impossible tc
ever make up Tor the consequences OF
fire that takes a life.

the extent to which we will need re-
course to the law.
Associated employers and organ
lied workers should find it possible,
aye, extremely desirable, today volun-
tarily to agree on basis of mutual
recognition and through this formula
set up a program for voluntary in
dustrial relations and mutual coopera-
ton, requiring a minimum of inter
ference on the part of government.
Would Avert Danger
"In that way and by that method
we shall free both industry and labor
from the dangers that beset both in
the rapidly growing power of the
state and in the usurping of rights
and privileges essential to individual
freedom, determination and judgment.
Then, too, by that formula we shall
avoid the trends and tendencies so
noticeable in the Old World where
freedom and democracy are merely a
fancied dream, where depression is the
lot Of the many and dictatorship the
fortune of a few"

COOPERATION INSTEAD OF
RETALIATION

John w. Hanes, member of the SEC,
recently said: 81 believe that the time
has come for business men to cease
harping on the theme that the gov
ernment is the enemy of business. And
it shall be my everlasting endeavor
to persuade government officials from
uttering publicly or privately the
thought that business is the enemy Of
government"
Business men certainly don't want
to feel that government is their
enemy, This breach between govern
ment and business has been largely
created by politicians who, in recent
years, have chastised the many for the
shortcomings of the few, in business.
1t is politicians who have passed
legislation hamstringing and punish
ing business. 1t is politicians who
have saddled business with tax bur-
den that makes operations next to
profitless in many instances. 1t is poll
ticians who have forced government
into direct competition with business
in certain, fields, using to the full its
advantages of tax-freedom, and un-
limited public credit. 1t is politicians
who have pilloried business men, and
held them up to scorn and ridicule.
1t is politicians who have been under
mining confidence in our American
system of government and fomenting
class hatred between labor and capital.
1t is not business duty to make
"peace" with government. Government
exists to serve business and the in
dividual. Government is means to
an end, not an end in itself. Govern
ment lives financially off the fruits of
business. Governments true purpose
is to, act as an umpire, not player,
in the commercial affairs of the peo-
pie. Government should punish the
guilty-and cooperate with the in
nocent. And that is exactly what the
politicians have prevented government
from doing.
Government will find practically all
business ready to work in amicable ac-
cord with it when the politicians pur-
sure policies. Of cooperation instead of
retaliation.

"PRUDENT INVESTMENT"
THEORY

Testimony produced by the commit
tee investigating the IVA tells of the
Authority purchasing $50 acres of
phosphate lands in Tennessee for the
sum of $680,00O. The seller, a private
corporation, had bought the lands a
short time before for>$125,000. A high
official of the IVA told the Congress
ional committee that he was not aware
that the seller was making such a
handsome profit-but that he would
have approved the purchase anyway,
because the deposits were needed in
the Twas fertilizer program.
The New York World Telegram
says: Assuming that the phosphate
lands are worth all IVA paid, still it
seems altogether probable that the
IVA might have made better bar
gain if it had shopped around a lit
tie. Phosphate deposits, we under
stand, are rather widespread in that
region, and even if this particular de-
posit was the most desirable, it seems
not unlikely that the price might have
been whitfield down if the IVA Board
had taken justlskesc c0stomefy< let-the-
buyer beware cailsoH 00fg fifding out
what the prudent Investment" value
had been before the iva entered the
market as well4heeled bidder.
"Anyhow, thereE was no reason for
making hurried lpurchase. President
Roosevelt, who has taken quite an in
terest in conservation of phosphates
and is himself something of an au-
thority on the subject, sent a message
to the last session of Congress say
ing that the country possesses known
deposits of that soil-enriching sub
stance sufficient to. last 1,1O0 years
most of these deposits being owned by
the government"
This isn't the first example of ap-
parently gross waste Of the taxpayers
money by the IVA. And there's moth
ing surprising in it to the student OF
the history of government-owned busi-
ness. There seems to be something
about government in business that
makes efficiency and economy next tc
impossible. When you've the public
treasury back Of you, why haggle over
a few hundred thousand dollars?
The Congressional committee would
do we'll to look further into IVA ex.
penditures and activities. After all
the people have been paying through
the nose for this experiment in so.
cialism-and they're entitled to know
where their money went.
