Hot Foot Both Can
Be Improved Upon
Workers With Tired Feet are
Told To Alternate Hot
and Cold Plunge

Albany.-A hot foot bath at night
to relieve the tired, aching feet of
workers "is all right as far as it goes" "
says an article on "Care of the Work
ers' Feet in the industrial hygiene
section of the current issue Of The In
dustrial Bulletin issued monthly by
Industrial Commissioner Frieda S.
Miller, "but it is more logical to pre-
vent foot ache than to try to remedy
it." And moreover, the article con-
tinues, there is chance to improve on
the popular conception Of the nightly
foot bath.
after the ordinary warm foot
BATH" the workers are advised, "an
excellent procedure is to immerse the
feet alternately first in very hot water
and then in very cold water about Is
or 20 times. This provides exercises
for the muscle coats Of the walls of
the blood vessels and gives them bet
ter tone, thereby greatly improving
the circulation of the lower eXtremi-
ties"
Another nightly procedure that is
recommended as highly beneficial is
described as follows:
"Simple exercises which are par
ticularly helpful are the so-called Cor
rective' exercises. The most import
ant of these are: 0) Rising on the
toes about 20 times; (2) walking on
the toes; (3) standing and walking
on the outer margins of the feet, and
| (4) using the feet to grasp with in the
same way that one grasps with the
hands. The best way to perform the
last of these is to stand on book
with the toes extending over it's front
edge. The toes are then bent up and
down as far as they will go, about IS
to 20 times"
Proper shoes and socks, and correct
walking and standing are described
and their Importance stressed.

PYoduction-Cost Price
For Farm Output Urged

Washington, ID. C.-Solving the de-
pressed economic condition Of many
American farmers by guaranteeing
them at least the cost Of production
for their products is the fundamental
principle underlying the cost-of-pro-
duction bill sponsored by Senator Lynn
]. Frazier, of North Dakota, and Rep
resentative Sam c. Massingale, of
Oklahoma.
AT the hearings on new farm pro-
gram built by the House Agricultural
Committee the substance and method
of the Frazier -Massingale bill was ex-
planned by Edward f. X enn e d Y
spokesman for Farmers Service, Wash
ington, ID. c.
''This bill is primarily designed to
regulate interstate and foreign COM
merce in agriculture products having
an annual value of $1O,0OO,000 or
more,' Kennedy said.
"lt makes it unlawful for dealers to
purchase such farm products from
farmers at less than the average cost
of production price on the percentage
and quantity needed for domestic con-
sumption.
at provides for the handling of sur
plus, if any, without expense to the
Government. For the surplus the
farmer is to receive world prices less
cost of handling, marketing and ad-
ministration. The cost of handling
and administration is charged to the
proceeds from the sale of the surplus
in the world market.
at protects the home market by
prohibiting the Importation of COM
peting farm products at prices less
than our domestic price level. 1t puts
farm products now owned by the Gov
ernment in the classification of surplus
to be sold abroad"
Mr. Kennedy claimed the formula
for the cost of production program
already applied to a considerable por-
tion of American business, was "simp-
ly borrowed from the formula used by
the manufacturing industry since
Adam Smith wrote his Wealth of
Nations.

Aliens Vomiting
To Change Our
Government Hit
By Congressnen
House Passes Dempsey Bill
Without Single Vote
Against Measure

Washington, d. C.-The House of
Representatives passed, without a dis
senting vote, bill introduced by Rep
resentative Dempsey Of California in
cluding among aliens who shall be ex-
cluded from the United States those
"who believe in, advise, advocate, or
teach, or who are members Of or af-
filiated with any organization, associa-
ton, society, or group, that believes
in, advises, advocates, or teaches the
making Of any changes in the Ameri-
can form Of government"
In the original text of the Dempsey
bill the exclusion phrase read "the
making of fundamental changes in
the American form of government u
The committee struck out the word
fundamental and inserted in it's
place the word "any."
Aliens already in the United States
who come under the inhibition of the
Dempsey amendment are subject to
deportation.
In recommending the enactment of
the bill the House Committee on I'M
migration and Naturalization said:
"There appeared before the COM
mittee at it's public hearing the au-
thor of the bill, Congressman Demp-
sey, who urged favorable report on
the bill and called attention to the
open activities of aliens against the
laws and form of this Government.
Representatives of different labor
organizations appeared in support of
the bill, also representatives of veter-
ans associations who pointed out the
necessity for legislation that will pre-
vent the malicious attacks on our
laws and form of government.
"These representatives of the sew
eral organizations supplied great
deal of information relative to the ac-
tivities of aliens and alien organiza-
tions. They also produced documents
which tended to sustain the allega-
tions made as to the existing menace
and growth of alien propaganda.
at appears that foreign groups and
governments, in some instances are
financing emissaries, who establish
headquarters to assist in the distri-
button of propaganda; that such agen-
cies stir up strife both in political and
industrial circles; that their aim is to
create dissatisfaction and discord with
our form of government and all dem
ocratic governments. 1t appears that
these groups have become arrogant
and have hacome a menace to good
government v4hd The peace and pros
perity of our country.
"Opposition to the bill was also
made by an organization whose prin-
cipal objection was that if it was en-
acted into law it would suppress ex-
pressions of opinion on essential po-
litical issues by aliens; also that the
bill if it became law would be diff
cult Of enforcement.
"Hhe committee after hearing the
different persons who appeared and
after thoroughly discussing the bill
were of the opinion that such legisla-
ton was necessary and unanimously
report the same and urge early and
favorable consideration"

Strike At Pepper
Plant Justified
Plant Manager Is Fined For
Hour Law Violations
(By Ohio Labor News Servic

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-Proof that unsatis-
factory working conditions exist at the
Baltimore CO., plant of the Fairfield
Paper Co., iustifying the strike called
there February 22 by Local No. 270
International Brotherhood Of Paper
makers, AFL affiliate, was written in
the records March 22 when the plant
manager eNtered pleas of guilty to II
charges of violating the state law linn
ting the work week of women in in
dustry.
The charges were filed against
Henry l.. Custer by Gertrude Weaver
special investigator in the division of
workshops and factory inspection, De-
partment of Industrial Relations, who
checked plant records for hour law
violations following receipt of a com
plant.
Brought before Justice of the Peace
John A. Mayer, Lancaster, Custer en-
tered pleas of guilty, and was fined a
total of $127.4O on March %. He was
charged with working girls in the
plant nine to 1G hours a day.
A statement by Custer that the vio-
|ations were made necessary by the
strike, which forced him to have the
girls work longer hours due to lack of
sufficient employees, was refuted by
the fact that five of the violations oc-
cured before the strike was called.
The company encountered further
trouble in the persons of Federal
wage-hour law investigators, who
forced the company to pay time and
one-half to employees who had worked
six and three quarter to l3 hours per
week to over the 44-hour limitation
at the regular rate of pay.

Appeals Court Enjoins
62l/2 Cents Steel Wage
Ruling Prevents Immediate Applica
ton of Secretary of LabOr's
Order Under Act

Washington, ID. C.-The Unit
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia, in a decision handed
down on March 27, granted seven steel
companies temporary injunction to
prevent Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins from enforcing an order
issued under the Walsh Healey Public
Contracts Act Fixing minimum wage
of 62la cents an hour for employees on
work performed on government steel
contracts.
The case came before the Appeals
Court on an appeal of the steel com
panies against the decision of the
District Court of the United States
for the District of Columbia dismiss
ing the suit against the Secretary of
Labor brought by the companies in
the lower court.
The Walsh-Healey Act permits the
Secretary of Labor to determine the
local prevailing minimum wage in an
industry and to require plants in that
locality which are working on gov
ernment orders to pay at least that
wage.
A ruling was issued some weeks age
that the minimum wage in the steel
industry ranged from AS cents an
hour in the South to 62l2 cents in the
East and Middle West.
The seven steel companies want the
Appeals Court to invalidate the 62l
cent wage order.
The petitioning companies contend
ed they were not in the same locality
with Pittsburgh and Chicago and that
natural wage differential" had eX-
listed between the two localities for a
half-century.
In their arguments to the Federal
District Court the companies contend
ed that the Labor Secretary misinter-
preted the word locality" in the
Walsh Healey act when she ruled that
they must pay the 621a cents n-houl
minimum wage prevailing in the Pitts
burgh Ohio-Chicago area.
The district court held that the
companies had not made their case
and dismissed their suit for an in
junction. The companies thereupon
appealed the District Court decision
to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
The action marked the first chal-
lenge Of the validity Of the determi-
nations of the Secretary Of Labor un-
der the Walsh Healey Act, which
since it's enactment in 1886, has gov
erned purchase of nearly $l,0O0,000,.
600 worth of materials and supplies
for the Government.

on Federal salaries and the govern

A DEMOCRACY HAS
SOME ADVANTAGES

Editor, The Times:
Two fools can out-vote one
wise man.
Two thieves can out-vote one
honest man.
Two lazy loafers can out-vots
one industrious worker.
Two spendthrifts can out-vote
one thrifty man.
All this means that the wise,
honest, industrious and thrifty
must do more than vote. Their
own safety demands that they
take an active part in the public
affairs of our country, to keep
1t from falling into the hands of
the incompetent, the dishonest,
and the money wasters.
