DR.. Thorp Gives Views
At Monopoly Quiz

At Monopoly Quiz
BY ROBERT HUMPHREYS
| I.N.SD A blueprint of one Of
the most complicated economic
machines civilization has ever
seen was presented to the joint
anti-monopoly committee today
by a top-ranking Government
economist with the assertion that
its breakdown since 1929 cannot
be attributed to any lack of man.
agerial ability-of capital, labor
or natural resources.
| There is no such simple
answer the witness, DR.. Will
lard Thorp, of the Department
of Commerce, counSeled the in
veStigatorS.
COMPLEX STRUCTURE
No analysis, such as is being
undertaken by the committee,
would be necessary IF this were
a simple machine with many like
parts he said. The fact is, Dr.
Thorp added, the structure is SO
complex that units vary from
the roadside stand run by the
farmers daughter to the giant
railway system"
So complicated has the machine
become that some situations
have sufficient public Importance
to warrant Government inter
vention of one kind or another"
he said.
Shortly before Thorp began his
Testimony the committees chair
man, Senator O'Mahoney Cd,
Wyoming, conceding that industry
in 1929 and the Government in
1887 had singularly failed to pro-
vide employment and security for
the American people, urged bust
ness and the New Deal to join in
the search for solution.
PLEADS FOR UNITY
OMahoney in his plea said:
RULE FOR LEAD MONOPOLY
MAEE9l3KAE2IyNSEl; ~
THE committee is attempting
to present a general survey OF
our economic deficiencies and
to demonstrate how important
it is that we provide more jobs
and more security.
I'm 1929, industry alone was
unable to provide security and
employment. In 1887, the period
of another recession, the Gov
eminent alone was unable to
do so.
The conclusion I draw is the
absolute necessity of coopera-
ton between Government and
business to solve our economic
problems"
DIR. LUBIN ON STAND
The inquiry, subject of closer
scrutiny by business than any
other Washington investigation in
years, got under way yesterday
after six months of intensive prep
aration, with the United States
commissioner of labor statistics,
DR.. Isador Lubin, on the stand.
To the 42-year-old Lubin fell
the task of presenting bulky and
tedious statistics tracing the
course of wages and income
through good times and bad, but
he wound up the day by offering
| these conclusions:
l. A rapidly increasing pop
ulation provided the market
for the boom production years
in the 20's, but today such a
market has almost disappeared
because the population is level
ling off toward static position.
URGES PRODUCTION
2. Thus, with the upper in
come group limited in numbers,
the stimulant needed to speed
up production of goods once
again is increased wages for
the lower income groups to aug.
ment their purchasing power.
Lubin, one of the New Deals
foremost economists, made it
plain that he did not belong to
the school of scarcity" Produc-
ton and still more production
produces wealth, he said.

SYNOPSIS
Q Dornford Votes

Richard Exon, poor young Englishman,
befriends elderly Matthew Gering, who at
his death, gives him a statement claiming
he. Gering, is Rudolph Ebert Virgil. Count
of Brief, of ancient Austrian nobility who
was betrayed 20 years before by his twin
brother, Ferdinand, whose sentence for
forgery he himself served. Ferdinand APP
propriated his title, property and daughter.
Before he dies, Gering tells Exon there is
family secret, known only to the head of
the house, to be found in the great tower at
Brief, by a doorway none can ever find.
Exon inherits his uncle's fortune and sets
out to right Gering's wrongs. En- route
he encounters Percy Ebert Virgil, SON
of the villainous Ferdinand and sees him
in conference with Inskip. a diamond
merchant. He engages a valet, Winter,
who hates Percy and meets by chance at
garage, John Herrick, who is linguist and
who as youth served as page at Gering' S
wedding, and had visited Brief. Herrick
agrees to aid Exon. They establish head
quarters at Brenda Revoke's farm at
Raven, few miles from Brief and make
their plans. They find the castle almost
inaccessible. They see a closed car &C.
cupied by Percy Virgil, a chauffeur and
woman. Hearing a dog scream, they see
the chauffeur flogging 1t, just as a horse with
a girl astride bounds along the path and Is
felled by a strung wire. The girl, uncon-
chauffeur and woman, who then run away,
after dropping her. Exon rescues the girl
and carries her to his waiting car. He identi-
fies the girl as Elizabeth. daughter of the
diSowned Gering, tells her of her cousins
plot to abduct her and takes her to Raven,
where he tells her the story of her father
and promises to go the limit to help her
right her fathers wrongs. Incredulous at
first. Elizabeth gradually wins faith in her
benefactor. Percy Virgil brings the police
to Raven, announcing that two strangers
are being sought for the kidnapping Of
Elizabeth

fenced to hang. A year later, Gov.
w. D. Stephens granted President
Wilson's plea for communication to
life sentence. Since then Tom Moo
ney has been well-publicized mar
tyr; Warren K. Billings has rested
comfortably at Folsom state pris-
on, vanishing into oblivion.
In Tom MONEYS favor it may be
stated that two of the four wit
nesses whose testimony convicted
him have since repudiated their
statements. One, an Oregon cattle
man named Frank G. Oman who
claimed to have seen Billings and
Mooney at the explosion site, ad-
mitted later that he was miles
away. John Macdonald, a circus
roustabout who testified he saw
Mooney and Billings plant the
bomb, has likewise backed down.
The judge who sentenced him, the
jury that convicted him and a series
of San Francisco district attorneys
have all declared Mooney was rail-
roaded to prison.
So why has he not been freed?
Partly because California had just
reason to dislike the radical labor
element Tom Mooney represented
back in 1916. Also because Califor-
mans believe the Tom Mooney of
1888 is a dangerous radical who
somehow enjoys his role of martyr.

to form the nucleus for c. I. o. In
1885, at the Atlantic City A. F. of
L. convention, he fought with Mr..
Green, poked vice president in the
jaw and walked out.
Ambitious to organize all indus
tries on the vertical" plan, he has
succeeded remarkably to date,
much to A. F. of LIS concern. At
the recent federation convention in
Houston the hope for peace was
raised once more, only to be ground
underfoot as the conservative Green
organization voted a war chest to
fight c. 1. o. Now, his last hope for
victorious peace shattered, Lewis
has called G. I. o. members to
Pittsburgh to perfect a permanent
opposition body. With this he hopes
to expand the organization plan that
has revolutionized labor thought in
the past decade. Already safely en-
trenched in such industries as auto
mobiles, steel, glass, coal and rub
Der, he believes that in time c. I. o.
will swallow completely the more
conservative A. F. of l..

Pittsburgh CLIO. Contention
To Climax Career of Lewis

John L. Lewis career as a labor
leader will probably reach its eli
max November IA, when the c. I. o.
chieftain steps to the rostrum at
Pittsburgh to open his organiza-
tons constitutional convention.
1t will probably mark the death
Enell of long-cherished hope that
labor's warning factions-C. I. 0.
and A. F. of Lean be brought
back into common fold. For John
Lewis will lead his mammoth octo-
pus into clearly defined, rival or
ganization against that of William
Green, A. F. of L. president.
Lewis rise to power has been SEN
sational, and has furnished another
instance of the wife whose perse-
verance pulled a politically and So
cially ungraceful husband to a posi-
ton of power and esteem. In 1908,
when Lewis married Myrta Edith
Bell, an Iowa school teacher, his
education had been confined to Is
years in the coal mines.
Became Union Leader.
The Lewis family settled down at
Panama, ILL.,, where the future c.
I. o. chieftain interspersed an ambi-
tious course of reading with leader
ship in the local coal union. In
1919, reporters covering a bitter
strike found him immersed in
Homer's Iliad. Overnight he be-
came powerful orator.
A few years later Mr.. Lewis was
sent to the Illinois state capitol at
Springfield as labor lobbyist, by that
time being the best informed man
in the industry on wages and work
ing conditions. Under Samuel Com
pers' wing he became vice presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
union, soon becoming independent
enough to run against Gompers for
president of the A. F. of l..
The vertical" type of union or
ganization Lewis began champion
ing called for organization of all
workers in the same industry into
one union, as opposed to the A. F.
of L. idea of organization by craft.
Lewis independence started with
the New Deal, and under MIRA
his union gained 100000 members

Mr.. Bryan recommends that old

Interference Resented

CallfornlanS have also thrived-
thank you-without the unasked in
reference of outsiders in behalf of
Tom Mooney. In 1881 they looked
down their sun-tanned noses at
New York's Mayor James j. Walk
er, who came west to plead with
Gov. James Rolph for clemency.
They suggested politely that Mr..
Walker might have remained at
home to look after two odoriferous
investigations then under way in his
own bailiwick.
They felt the same way last year
when Minnesota's Farmer-Labor
Gov. Elmer A. Benson came to San
Francisco and suggested that "a
united labor movement" could
achieve freedom for Mooney and
Billings.
ga united labor movement could
not only open for them the prison
gates" he pontifcated, "but it could
see to it that, in the future, those
who dedicate their lives to the serv-
ice of humanity do not meet the
same fate that was Tom Moneys"
CALIFORNIA; courts have washed
their hands of the mess via A. E.
Shaw, special referee for the state
supreme judiciary, who summed up
the states official attitude and it's
open resentment regarding the
Prisoner of San Quentin:
"It is established by the prepon-
derance of evidence that the petit
toner Mooney was not victim of
a frame-up nor was he convicted as
the result of any improper act of any
kind on the part of the district attor-
ney or any of his assistants, or on
the part of any person representing
the State of California"
Will Cuthbert Olson think other
wise? Tom Mooney hopes so.
