random through a big stack of let

lows. Invitations probaly will go
out to a representative group to.
day for a conference next week.
GENERAL FARLEY PLANNED
Following this session with men
whose businesses or corporations
ate under $25, 1000, President RooSe-
velt plans a climactic conference
at which business, big and small,
labor. finance, transportation,
agriculture and credit agencies
will be represented.
From this all-embracing confer
ence, the President hopes to elicit
a generic agreement on policy that
will enable the Administration to
continue its attack on the eco
nomic slump without asking for
much additional legislative re-
form.
Specifically, the White House
wants to see If finance, transpor-
tation, agriculture and credit will
agree with the message industry
and labor already have left with
the President. Big employers and
labor leaders, in earlier confer
ences, urged that wages and prices
must be kept up if better times
are to return, unless purchasing
power all around is thus main
tained, Mr.. Roosevelt has been
warned, the slump may continue.
EXPERT SESSION SOON
The big industrialiSts and labor
SpokeSmen look for this confer
ence of all factions to be called in
advance of February 7, the date
upon which U. s. Steel and John
L. Lewis CIO start negotiations
looking to a renewal of the work
ing agreement which expires Feb
ruary %.
Advisers are pointing out to
the President that any wage cut
in the steel industry at this time,
or any large-scale labor disturb.

lamitous in that it would spread

DRUNK DRIVER
TEST is URGED

Adoption of standard test for
intoxicated drivers is needed in the
opinion of Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer.
Speaking last night at the an
nual banquet of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, Van
Duzer pointed out that a recent
survey showed that alcohol was a
major contributing factor in more
than half of fatal traffic accidents.
He declared that the public must
realize that a few drinks make
dangerous driver.
Following action of the House
yesterday in passing a bill requir-
ing compulsory automobile inSpec-
ton, Van Duzer said this will not
be placed in effect until next year,
explaining that three inspection
stations must first be constructed.

HEARING ON TAX.
PROGRAM HELD
UP BY BUSINESS.
Group Is Split on Move

Q.NS) Persistent demands OF
business men for changes in the
proposed new tax program today
delayed completion of hearings by
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Chairman Doughton CD of
North Carolina, anxious to get
the new tax program before the
House, hoped to complete hearings
last night, but was forced to con-
tinue them today.
COMMITTEE SPLIT
The committee was split wide
open in a battle over the pro-
posal of the subcommittee to place
penalty taxes on family owned or
closely held corporations earning
over $4,000 a year and failing to
distribute 10 per cent of profits.
A canvass disclosed that IL
members of the committee are op-
posed to the penalty provision,
with three more members likely
to join in a demand for either
abandonment of the provision or
substantial modification. There
are "a members on the committee.
The committee had before it
strong protests from heads OF
Ifamily-owned department stores
in Brooklyn, Baltimore, Rich
mond, Cleveland, and other cities,
all contending that family-owned
stores would be compelled to pay
so per cent more tax than WAL
Street" firms.
Chairman Vinson d. of the
subcommittee which recon-
mendcd the penalty tax provision,
served notice of a strong fight
to retain it.

The New Day
Bv DR. CHARLES sTELzLE

By DR.. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director, Good Neighbor League
When I was a young machinist studying
higher mathematics, l was cautioned about
the fallacy of basing my calculations upon a
false hypothesis" because, if l got a wrong
start. the entire calculation would go
edooey." And that's exactly what some
sociologists and economists have done, when
they have assumed that the fundamental
facts and forces which control humanity and
its resources will always remain the same.
For example, at one time it was assumed
that as it then required one man on the farm
to feed each man in the city, the movement
from the country to the town would result
in the starvation of those who lived in cities,
because the population in these cities would
soon outnumber those who lived and worked
on the farms. Of course, they could not fore
see the development of railroads, nor the in
vention of farming implements which, II
properly used, would permit one man on the
farm to raise enough to feed forty men IN
the city.
The same mistaken idea was prevalent re-
garding the place and power Of mankind it.
self-particularly that part of mankind which
was considered as serfs or were clods OF the
earth, to be exploited for profit, or used to
protect or to increase the dominions Of lords
and masters who lived in stately castles,
while their subjects fought their battles or
performed the most mental tasks in order to
make life more comfortable for those who
lived sheltered lives on the hill" 1t was
assumed that these conditions would always
prevail.
There are still some economists who hin
only in the terms of a bygone day, but we are
living in a new era, in which anything may
happen that will enrich the whole life OF all
the people. Fortunately, there is an increas-
inc number of the privileged classes who see
and welcome the coming of the time when
light shall break forth like the sun at noon
day, and when it will be discovered that men
are very much alike in their hopes and aspi-
notwithstanding even the lowliest among
them. And with the coming of that day the
old preiudices and hatreds and class divisions
will disappear, for men will know each other
better, and knowing, they will understand
And understanding is just as necessary on
the part of the workers as it is on the part
of the employers.

Aid for the Needy

Some good people are worrying greatly
about the debt that is being piled up because
of the necessity of caring for the unemployed,
lending money to banks, railroads, insurance
companies, paying for the big recovery con
struction program.
1t does cost a lot Of money but what is the
alternative? Either we must care for the
millions who have no work and thus no funds
or we must not care for them.
1t is no solution to permit the unemployed
to starve. Neither can they be bundled off
to the cemetery and shot. Wholesale destruc-
ton of people just because our economic
machine is so inefficient that it cannot give
them jobs will accomplish no good. If the
unemployed were all to die tomorrow it
would merely aggravate the situation as it
would remove a great market which could
not be filled and thus further disturb the
present m~aladjustment of supply and de-
mand.
Incidently the unemployed have a right
to feel that this country is just as much theirs
as it is the owners Of industry, the employed,
and others who are not receiving relief.
Every bit Of relief afforded the unemployed
helps the employed, the merchants and in
dustry. We will never have a healthy con-
dition of affairs in this country until every
man and woman who wants and needs a job
has it. 1t is only a negligible number Of the
unemployed who are content to continue on
relief. The government is furnishing aid to
the needy because they can get it from no
place else.-WeSteTn NeIDS.

on the meagre assets Of the company. To the
average citizen, the article means nothing
and was merely passed on with a shrug; but
there was one group Of people in Butte who
realized Just what was taking place behind
the scenes. Investigation brought to light
the following facts. That few, if any, of the
company Of 80 people had a decent place to
sleep or the price of a meal. That most OF
the company, including the chorus, many OF
whom were still in their teens" were sleep
inc on the mezzanine floor of local theatre.
In short, the members of the company were
broke and stranded" far from home.
Perhaps it was visions of being in similar
impoverished circumstances that prompted
the action. Perhaps the members of the or
ganization realized that actors and actresses
we're essential to the industry in which they
earned their livelihood; but, whatever the
reason, the members of the Theatrical Stage
Employees and Moving Picture Machine
Operators took prompt and efficient action.
A sum of money was appropriated from
the treasury Of the organization and given
to the business agent with instructions to
"see that these people are properly fed and
taken care Of"
How well this mission was performed, can
be attested by the fact that the members Of
the company received the first real breakfast
that they had eaten for several days; that
they were the guests of a prominent local
business man for dinner; that the inn keeper
and restaurateur had cut their claim down
considerably and released the baggage; that
with the assistance of city authorities and the
We1fora BOARD tranSDortatiOn had been ar
ranged to take the company to Salt Lake
City, where the company was booked to give
several performances.
The Butte Stage Employees and its bust
ness agent are to be commended for their
action, as are the Mayor and the other gentle
men whose assistance made it possible for
the company to continue its journey as an
intact unit.
It is source of satisfaction to know that
the old Butte spirit of hospitality still exists
