Robert E. Healy, member of the Sc
curities & Exchange Commission is
a walking illustration of the power of
environment over heredity. His name
is a lot more Irish than that of De-
Valera. His features were hewn out
of the granite rock of Vermont, where
he was born.
Healy is one member of the SEC
whom no Washington newspaper man
ever had any doubts about. They
knew him as chief counsel of the ETC
in the long investigation of the util-
ity industry. They saw and heard him
build up, bit by bit, what is not merely
an indictment of the utility magnates,
but their conviction in the court of
public opinion. They heard and saw
him trace the write up in case after
case; till in some of the Duke power
companies, there was two or three
times as much write up as actual in
vestment.
Understanding figures as we'll as an
accountant, always quiet of speech
and never yielding a point; Robert
Healy was a mighty help in making
that investigation the classic that it is.
He was born in Vermont 55 years
ago; and was admitted to the bar when
21 years old. He was an associate
justice of the Supreme Court of the
state. He is Catholic and a Repub-
liCan.

BUSINESS SHOWS SOME SIGNS
OF GAINING, PRESIDENT SAYS

Hyde Park, N. Y. QLNS).-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, on signing the relief
recovery bill, told the reporters that
business was not quite SO bad as it
might be, and that 1887 was consid-
erably better year for the "less we'll
to-do" than 1929.
Taking the last first, the President
pointed out that full time wages in
1887 were per cent higher and liv-
ing expenses Is per cent less than in
1929.
Business, he said, is not so bad as
it has been, and shows some signs of
getting better. "a few raindrops
have been coming from the heavens,
and probably will be followed by a
heavy shower" he said. The first es-
Inmates of the income of the American
nation this year was put by private
estimators at $50,000,0O0,0 Taking
the first quarter as guide, it will be
around O,0OO,O00,000; or about $9,-
500 100000 less than that of last year.
He also expressed his pleasure that
a large number of projects are ready
to start as soon as they can be re-
ceived and opened. The preliminary
work has been done.

CITIES WARNED TO SPEED
UP FOR PWA PROJECTS

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-In the
first interview since his return from
his wedding trip, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes told reporters that cities
had better get their proposals for
PWA projects in promptly if they
want to use any of Uncle Sans
money. Asked if there were not enough
of a backlog to fill the list of projects
again he replied that in depression,
there wasn't any backlog left. 1t was
a case for shooting the works.
This agrees with all the less official
news ON the subject. Evidently those
who will have to allot the relief funds
have done all possible studying even
before the bill was passed. They knew
it would get through somehow, and
got ready for it.
Secretary Ickes further said that his
unfavorable views toward selling
hel!ur, to Germany for diriglble had
not changed at all.

ducton they have a right to business contract
covering terms and conditions of work. This con-
tract should be jointly negotiated by the repre-
sentatives of both parties, and should set up ma
chinery for carrying out the agreement. When
Labor's rights are accepted and the agencies for
justice are set up, then Labors rights accept
led and the agencies for justice are set up, then
Labor is in position to help work out the prob
lens of more efficient production The experience
of those who handle the tools and materials of
production will disclose many sources of waste and
delays. Cooperation will harness together the
minds of the work-force with those of management
"a much more profitable policy than for manage
ment to write orders without knowing the expert
ences Of those who carry out orders.
Industry is impatient with government regu-
lations but business has not shown willingness to
undertake responsibility for self-regulation based
on the principle that there is an essential relation
between production and ownership for all work
ing in the industry. The work force who carry
out the production process without which busi-
ness could not exist, have put into their work
those creative powers which generate the feeling
and fact of ownership. Work relationships which
recognize this fact will provide for the work force
as an essential and permanent factor in it's organ
zation and development and will provide for it's
participation in planning and in division of returns
from joint work From such organization can come
genuine cooperation between Labor and Manage
ment in all those functions for which Labors ex-
perence make it competent.
The result will be higher level of living for
all and wider dissemination of material well-being.
Cooperation develops only out of the right re-
lationships.

NEEDY FORGOTTEN AS SOLONS
FIGHT
(By Ohio Labor News Service

Columbus, O.-Ohio's relief problem
became dangerously critical last week
when the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives adjourned late Friday night,
apparently with little hope of return,
without enacting any form of relief
legislation to provide funds for the
balance of 1888.
The dire need of thousands of un-
employed citizens was entirely for
gotten as Senate leaders, SNUG in their
|self-conceived superior legislative abil-
Iity, told the House of Representatives
to stake or leavey tie, relief program
approved by the Upper House.
The House of Representatives, in an
extraordinary Friday night session.
rejected the report of a conference
committee on relief program by a
vote of 81 to II, because it contained
matching" requirements without pro-
lviding means of acquiring the "match-
ing" funds.
A request was then made by the
House for a second conference COM
mittee, which was refused by the Sen
ate, whose members adopted a reso-
luton calling for sine die adjournment
June 30, and then quit work with the
threat that the House would have to
accept their terms on relief. The vote
on the adjournment resolution was 19
Ito 8.
Speaker Frank Uible of the House
of Representatives said he would con-
fer with Senate leaders in an endeavor
to get them to reconsider their action
but the latter were arbitrarily unap.
|proachabls after the fiasco.
The Inter-Organization Council
composed of manufacturer, oil, gas
and mercantile interests, which has
opposed all social legislation in the
|92nd General Assembly, exerted its
sinister influence throughout the en-
tire third special session, called to en-
act an adequate relief program fol-
the balance of the year.
Both branches of the Assembly ac-
Icepted the report of the conference
committee on measure creating a re.
lief administrator for the next nine
months, and then failed to provide
Ianything to administer.

RELIEF-A CONTINUING PROBLEM

Only in two years-1932 and 1933-was in
dustrial production lower than now. It is esti-
mated for April at al per cent below normal; in
March it was 40 below; in February 1877; in
January 1877; in December 356; in November 1926
per cent; in October ZIG per cent below; in Sep
tember 14.6 and in August 81 below normal. In
other words last summer started sharp business
decline that has taken us back to the 1884 level.
AS we thought recovery was at hand, the sharp
drop downward seemed incredible. The heavy in
dustries as usual are worse off than consumer in
dustries.
Reports on profits for leading industrial cor
porations for the first quarter of 1888 show de-
cline of 67.5 per cent over profits for the first
Iquarter of 1887. Steel ingots are now at 80 per
cent capacity while a year ago they were 81 per
cent. Our unemployment estimate shows II, 1,231 )
ZOO unemployed as against 8,312,828 year ago,
and 7,745,SS3 last August. Forty per cent of
our building trades are unemployed.
This sharp rise in unemployment has been a
severe test of unemployment compensation laws
going into effect. Unemployment benefits have
provided for portion of this increase-but dur
ation of benefits is limited Unless private indus
TRY provides jobs, those drawing benefits must ul-
Itimately depend relief.
The states are not able to carry this load. AL
ready the papers tell of exhausted relief funds
and foodless families. Men and women will not
Igo without food indefinitely or watch their child
ren starve. Congress must appropriate to provide
|public work and relief Much needed housing
|projects public buildings and services hospitals,
etc, can provide work and also become useful
agencies. In some form relief must be at hand
1t is unfortunate that permanent agency to
provide projects against such emergencies as
this has not been set up. 1t is waste of people,
money and opportunities to leave such an import
ant matter to chance instead of providing against
Idepressions that so far have been inevitable.
In our permanent planning we should have in
mind the necessary administrative relationships
between social security and relief. The issue has
Ion policy.
Our immediate duty and responsibility is to
provide for the millions already in dire want and
to find honest, efficient administrative procedures
so that may save mind and personality as well
Ias the physical.
Not since 1880 has our unemployment dropped
under seven millions. The present upturn makes
obvious that provision for those obless and with
out income is continuing problem Unless we
make permanent provisions relief inevitably be-
comes the football of partisan politics.
A permanent public works bureau is the only
constructive policy Instead of setting up tempor-
Iary agencies to administer relief projects, we
should provide for the expansion of permanent
agencies when additional services are needed.

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

back the Japanese invaders. The
flood has chased them from large
area conquered at high cost. 1t has
required them to shift their chief cam
paign from the territory and direction
which it has maintained for months
And it cannot be understood easily
without some slight sketch of the
stream which has done these things.
The Hoang-Ho is probably the
worlds most erratic great river. 1t
flows for literally hundreds of miles
at a higher level than that of the
country around it. There is consid-
cradle distance at which the water at
low level is more than Is feet above
the region through which it flows, and
80 feet above at high season. The
lower Mississippi is a safe, comfort
able stream compared to the Hoang-
Ho.
It has changed it's outlet II times in
the last 1000 years; and one change
is astounding. Imagine the St. Law
renee flowing down the Mohawk and
the Hundson into New York Bay fo1
few hundred years, and then turn
ing and flowing where it goes now
That is what the Hoang-Ho did in
| 1852; flowed on the north side of a
big territory Of hilly country instead
of on the south, shift of more than
$50 miles.
"China's Sorrow" the stream is
called. But if it will only be Japan's
sorrow, the Chinese will burn joss
sticks to it.
Trade unionism as world power is
described in the 9Th Year Book of the
international Federation of Trade
Unions, just published. The Year Book
gives a continuous survey of the in
ternational trade union movement ano
complete information concerning its
growth, finances, geographical distri.
button and comparative strength as be.
tween one country and another.
The current issue is particularly
valuable as it contains for the first
time complete statistical information
of trade union growth over a long
period. 1t shows that in 1904 an ag.
gregate membership Of less than 22
millions were concentrated in the
national centers of the countries affi-
lated to the l. F. T. U.
Membership grew fairly steadily
in pre-war years to total of about
IN millions in 1913. 1t reached q
maximum of over % millions in 1919
Postwar trade depression affected the
unions in practically all countries af.
filiated to the l. F. T. u, but member.
ship remained fairly steady between
1924 and 1882; and in 1887 reached q
total of practically 1919 millions.
This is all the more remarkable ir
view of the fact that since 1888 the
German unions, which affiliated pre-.
viously a membership of nearly
millions, ceased to belong to the l. F
II. U. Italy's unions disconnected ir
| 1926. Austria has also been absent
from the l. F. T. U. since 1884, rep.
resenting a loss of about half a million
members. Other smalled European
countries such as Latvia, Lithuania
Danzig, and the Saar are likewise now
without representation in the interna
tional organization, in which about
25 countries are represented.
