Stomp Not Enough
Proof for F. T. Com.
Jobber Charged With Rep.
resenting Toys Made In
Jdpdn As U. S. A.

Washington, D. c., 0LNS).-That
the words "Made in U. S. A." on man
ufactured goods is not necessarily
proof that the goods are American
made is indicated by a complaint is
sued by the Federal Trade Commits
sion against New York toy manu-
facturer.
Violation of the Federal Trade Com
mission act through use of unfair
methods Of competition in the sale of
toys is alleged by the commission in a
complaint issued against Adolph Vein,
trading as American Toy Works, 1924
Oath street, Long Island City, N. Y.
Through the use of such a phrase
as "made in U. S. A., American Toy
Works, New York, n. Y.," and others
of similar import, the respondent al
legedly represents that he manufac-
lures the products he sells, when, ac-
cording to the complaint, a substan-
tial number of the units making up
the toys are not made in this country
but are purchased by him from agents
of the producers located in Japan.
The respondent is merely an assem-
bier Of the products he sells and is in
no sense manufacturer, the COM
plant charges.

N. Y. State Factories
Report Job Coins

Albany, n. Y, GLNS).-Contrary
to the usual seasonal lull in July, en-
ployment in New York State factories
increased about 10 per cent since June,
and payrolls rose about 20 per cent,
Industrial Commissioner Frieda S. Mil
Ter reports Seasonal activity in the
canning and preserving industry was
responsible for a large part of the net
rise in forces. When tabulations for
the canning and preserving industry
are omitted, employment shows a slight
net drop, but payrolls continue to show
a net increase.
Increased payrolls in the fur and
fur goods, shoe and mems clothing in
dustries were sufficient to keep the net
increase in payrolls. Only four out of
the eleven representative industries re-
ported net losses in employment, name
ly, clothing and millinery, printing and
paper, metal and machinery and wood
manufacturers. The chemical and stone,
clay and glass groups showed practi-
cally no net change at all.

ICC FIXES RATES
TO STOP TRUCK WARS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)).-The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
moved to stop truck wars by establish
ing minimum rates in practically the
entire region north of the Ohio and
Potomac Rivers, and east of the Mis-
sissippi. New England, with part of
New York, were separated from the
rest of the territory in the two rate
decisions.
"We are convinced" says the ICC
that an emergency does exist which
requires action on our part, and this
is substantially admitted to be the fact
by all concerned. This emergency is
the product of the great and all per-
vasive element of competition from
within and without the motor carrier
industry, coupled with the very large
number of motor carriers. 1t has been
rendered more acute by the depression
in business which has materially re-
duced the amount of available traffic
This is the first time the ICC has
used the large powers given it by the
Motor Carrier Act; though such action
has been urged by railroad workers
and managers alike.
The commission, recognizing the eX-
perimental nature of it's work, limited
the New England rates to one year
and required the carriers to present
at the end of six months new rate
schedules framed in the light of ex-
perience with this minimum rate.

Sportsmen Very Busy

Erwin, Tenn.-How'dy, here's Err
win again to tell you some Southern
news.
Local Union No. 1895 soft ball team
won first half championship of the
league, but for some reason can't get
going this second half. They will be
lucky to finish second or third. AL
though they are not winning they have
been drawing the crowds and the
games have been quite interesting.
Fishing has been called off due to
so much rain, so the boys have been
hunting. Ray and Fult Williams and
a couple of friends went hunting last
week and came back with forty squir-
rels, not bad at all. Either good
shooting or there are lots of squirrels
this year.
The Whitlatches have sold their
barbecue stand and have moved back
into the horse shoe. Glad to have them
back in the circle.
The horse shoe pitchers of Erwin
are organizing a league and we expect
to see some fancy pitching from the
boys.
We are>glad to welcome Harry Dob
bins back to work again after being
on the sick list for awhile.
Work at the Erwin pottery has pick
ed up some and we hope it continues
to do so. See you all later.

On Cdpitol Hill
BY GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, d. c., GLNS).-The
South-meaning thereby the 13 states
from Virginia to Texas has one
third of the children Of the United
States-and three-fourths of the child
laborers of from II to Is years.
In 20 important industries, wages
averaged Is cents an hour lower in the
South than in the rest of the country
in 1887.
In the same year, the average in
come per capita in the South was 1914;
in the rest Of the country it was 1904.
These are bits taken from the re-
port made by the National Emergen-
cy Council to the President. They are
enough, of themselves, to make one
understand why the President calls the
South the nations No. | problem,
X X X
| Here are some more figures from the
same source:
Teachers in the South compare ia
vorably with teachers elsewhere; South
ern states spend a larger proportion
/ of their tax income on education than
in the rest Of the country. But the
, South is so poor that in 1933-34, the
average annual salary Of teachers in
Arkansas was $465, compared to ST.
/ 361 in New York. The assessed value
Of taxable property in the South was
/ $463 per person in 1885; in the nine
northeastern states it was 1870.
/ On health, the words Of the report
must be quoted directly:
''In the South, where family incomes
are exceptionally low, the sickness and
death rates are unusually high. Wage
differentials become in fact differen-
tials in health and life; poor health, in
turn, affects wages The low income
belt of the South is belt of sickness,
misery and unnecessary death"
! In his social security speech, Presi-
dent Roosevelt paid deserved tribute
to Congressman David J. Lewis of
Maryland as zone Of the American
/ pioneers in the cause Of social secur-
ity." He also put Lewis as first of the
four men whom he publicly thanked
for their untiring work for all social
reforms. But workers who know their
"onions" in Maryland or out, hope that
the President will come out with a di-
rect Endorsement Of Lewis for the SEN
ate that will sweep all doubt out Of
the primary. He is running against
Senator Millard Tydings.
No man in either House - except
possibly Senator Wagner, with whom,
by the way, Lewis collaborated on the
Social Security Act-has such long
and active record as Lewis in sup

said that Lewis was preaching the

LET'S EDUCATE OUR
NATION FOR PEACE

Today the headlines cry for another
threatening world war. Can we not
realize what such a war would do to
civilization? Do we need to be told
again that the gas, the guns, the
planes of modern science could destroy
entire cities in night, could make the
world a blazing hell?
What can we do about it," YOU
wonder. We can protest an armament
program of billion dollars a year
We can ask, "Is it not possible to edu-
cate nation to live in peace? Would
not this money have been much better
expended for peace education than for
war preparation ?"
Let's begin with our children, teach
them that toy guns are things to be
abhorred. Teach them the deadly sig
nificance of parades and military ma
neuvers. Teach them that motion pic
lures showing military drill are simp-
ly war propaganda to catch them un-
aWares. Teach them that worship of
past warriors is absurd-we could not
worship one in our neighborhood who
had robbed, plundered and killed our
dear ones-and war between nations is
just that on much larger scale.
Let's resolve that we will not fight
another war for private profit. Let's
dedicate ourselves to work for peace
between nations and for the specific
issues that means peace. Only that
way can we keep the faith with the
millions who died that we and our
families might never know war
