HEROES OF INDUSTRY

At it's just-held annual meeting, the
Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association,
named for the first director of the
United States Bureau of Mines, gave
IL medals and many certificates of
honor to persons whom it justly calls
heroes of industry. For example:
One medal went to Oliver Busby of
Wylam, Ala, for saving the life of
Coleman Burrell. Burrell was smashed
up by some runaway cars in a coal
mine of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company, and was pinned under the
cars and bleeding to death. Busby
crawled under the car, stopped the
bleeding, and lay there directing the
resetting of mine timbers knocked out
in the crash. Not until they were in
place would he let his fellow workers
come to him.
This is one of eight. Heroes of
industry" are not scarce.

Wage-H0ur Act To Tighten
Tax Load, Andrews Says

Boston (ILNS). = The floor under
wages and the ceiling over hours will
be "the biggest bargain the American
people ever have been able to buy at
the tax collectors window" Wage
Hour Administrator Andrews said
here.
"It is the best possible bargain for
business men who have goods to sell,
even though we chose to ignore i.
the by-product values that will come
in the form of better fed, better
clothed, better housed, a healthier
and happier nation" he told the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce.
From time to time, he said, eve
hear discussion of the desirability of
paying for relief as we CO. Here is
a device that enables us to eliminate
the necessity of relief for many mil
lions of the lower paid workers as we
CO. We wouldn't have much of a
relief problem now if we had been
sufficiently alert over the last &c
years to the necessity of putting more
money into the pockets of the workers. .

TOPS IN VACATIONS
(From the Union Leader, Chicago)

(FrOm the Union Leader, ChicagO)
Efforts of the local divisions of the
Amalgamated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor Coach
Employees to secure paid vacations for
their members were crowned with
further success in 1888, when 35 more
local divisions obtained for 8,413 men,
bers contractual agreements provid-
ing annual holidays with pay
For the last few years the Amalga-
mated Association has led all labor
organizations in the number of its
members who have been successful in
obtaining vacation concessions from
employers and it is likely that again
the association will head the list for
1888. According to practically COM
plete figures for last year, 155 local
divisions containing a total of 68,217
members enjoy contract provisions
for vacations of from one to three
weeks annually. In 1881 the total was
120 divisions, containing 59,804 mem
bers.
In 1888, 13 local divisions were sue
cessful in having their vacation pc
riods increased from one week to two
weeks with pay; four obtained an adj
dition of three days, bringing the va
cation periods to 10 days. One divi-
sion secured an increase to II days
vacation and IL days sick leave, where
previously the members had obtained
only one week, and one local division
increased the vacation period from IL
days to three weeks.

gress under the civil service act.
Tables are being compiled now show
ing how much, if the regular civil
service retirement rates were applied,
Congressman would be eligible to
draw at the end of one or more terms.
1t probably won't pass this session;
but sooner or later, it may This
country was shrewd enough to start
paying salaries to it's congressman,
small salaries. England at that time
did not pay her members of Parlia-
ment-that is, not directly. Not long
before our Revolution, British min
lister complained that he was not kept
advised as to what members were
"gratifed," and that there was much
resentment at the favoritism.
Ramspeck's bill is not a freak.
Some day, we probably will have it.

British Workers Are
Opposed To Conscription

London (ILNS) Vigorous opposi-
tion to conscription was voiced on
April 25 by the National Labor Coun-
Gil, speaking for labor throughout
Great Britain.
The council demanded that the gov
ernment "apply itself with energy
and confidence to the practical task
of developing and organizing national
resources through system of volun-
tary service"
"There is not the slightest evidence
of failure of the voluntary system"
the council said in reminding the gov
ernment of its pledge, renewed in
March, that it would not resort to
conscription in peace time.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The Rockefeller Foundation in its
annual review tells of the invasion of
the western continent by an African
mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, which
deserves the title of one of the most
dangerous enemies of man. At home,
in Africa, this insect carries a par
ticularly virulent form of malaria,
often called "blackwater fever" In
Brazil, it carries the jungle type of
yellow fever.
Yellow fever is virus disease; the
poison which causes it cannot be seen
through the microscope, and goes
without losing it's virulence through
the finest filter-just as does the poi
son which causes infantile paralysis.
We banished the ordinary form of yell
low fever from the West Indies and
Central America, from which it fire.
quently jumped to our own land, by
killing off the mosquitoes that car
ried it.
That was one of the finest health
victories ever gained; and the credit
of it goes to the American army med
ical service, and to the American
soldiers who volunteered to be bitten
by infected mosquitoes.
But jungle variety has been founo
in the tropics of Brazil, and this AT
rican mosquito is busy carrier of it
| The Rockefeller Foundation and the
Brazilian government are co-operat
| ing in fighting it. 1t can be prevented
by vaccine, and more than milliof
people of the danger regions have beer
vaccinated. The campaign will be in
tensifed this year.

Unions Ask Supreme Court
To Review Lower Court Rule

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Three
A. F. of l.. unions have asked the Su-
preme Court to review lower court
decisions enjoining them from picket
ing shops of the Union Premier Food
Stores Company, in Philadelphia.
An injunction was issued in the
Eastern Pennsylvania Federal District
Court on the grounds that no labor
dispute existed to bring the contro-
versy under the Norris-La Guardia
Act prohibiting anti-picketing injunc-
tions. The Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals affirmed the order.
The controversy arose from juris.
dictional dispute between the A. F
of L. unions and C. l. O. union, in
volving the question of which organ
ization represented majority Of the
food company's employees.

A totalitarian government, holding
all political, industrial, financial and
social life of the country in its hands
and abolishing even the courts, has
been proclaimed in Bolivia by the
president, Lieut.. Col. German Busch
He is reported to be in constant con-
sultation with Dionisio Foianini, hith-
erto minister of mines and petroleum
The army is said to have accepted the
new government.
Obviously, this is meant to be mod
elled on Nazi or Fascist lines; which
is quite different from the ordinary
Spanish American dictatorship though
not much more cold -blooded in dealing
with labor or the common people gen,
orally. But only one thing gives II
any particular Importance to US. Bo.
livia is the second biggest source OF
our tin; the East Indian islands anc
Malay Peninsula being by odds the
first. If our supply from the Orient
is cut off by war, it would be EN-
barrassing to have the Bolivian gov
ernment shut down on that export.
Only few papers are printing it a

145, 5,699 Are Discharged
From w. P. A. Projects

Washington, D. G. (AFLWNS) -
The distressing amount of suffering
imposed on the unemployed and their
families by the refusal of Congress to
appropriate more than $100,000,000
for work relief for the rest of the
fiscal year is revealed in the announce
ment by F. G. Harrington, w. P. A.
administrator, that relief rolls were
cut 145,699 during the week ended
April IL to stay within the deficiency
appropriation.
The cut reduced relief rolls to g.
756,254-well below the 100000 fig
ure which Mr.. Harrington had set as
the maximum under the new appro-
priation.

Holland-the right name for the
country is the Netherlands-bu more
people understand at once the first
name used-is doing some uncom-
monty fine work in housing, especially
considering where she started from.
In 1900, more than 80 per cent of her
low-income people lived in one and
two-room houses. Now, only 25 per
cent are so housed, and the proper
tion is dropping each year.
Yet Holland is a little country, 300
square miles larger than the state Of
Maryland. Her natural resources are
small, and have not grown. Her
population is 700 per square mile; she
was put to high expense in the World
War and the depression; no unusual
luck has come her way. How can she
make such progress in social work
like housing?
BY will and grit. BY learning,
rather suddenly, that she was allow
ing bad mistake to be made, revers-
ing her tactics-and sticking to the
new way with the stubbornness that
wore out Spain.

- Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
O~ tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Taxation is dull subject. Most
people can't make bright remarks
about it. Talk at parties or other af-
fairs where people gather for enjoy
ment is not about taxation.
In other words, people don't like to
talk about taxation. They growl
about paying taxes and show interest
when a specific matter of local tax
alton is up, as pavement of high
way, for example, but they don't say
much about the general subject of
taxation and what it means to the
nation
At least this has been the case up
to recently. Now taxation is forcing
itself on the people as subject of
discussion and some people are ac-
tually thinking about it, too.
Which is all to the good Taxation
has got to be talked about and the
people have got to determine where
they stand on it. If they don't, they
are due for big bump and not in
the far distant future, either.
With a national debt far higher
than ever before, which shows not the
slightest indication of decreasing, it's
time taxation became the livest kind
of subject.
Some theorists, who have been in
fiuential in New Deal councils, say a
big national debt is nothing to worry
about. Forget it, they say.
That is bunk of the bunkiest kind.
A big debt, for nations or individ-
uals, is nothing to cause rejoicing.
| The experience of mankind since the
beginning of history teaches that.
The theory has been that big gov
ernment spending, which makes big
national debt, produces abounding
prosperity and then can be paid off
almost painlessly.
Well, we've had some half dozen

Forty-Cent Wage Urged
For u. S. Soap Contracts

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS) -
The Public Contracts Board of the
Department of Labor recommended to
Secretary Of Labor Perkins that 40
cents an hour be established as the
prevailing minimum wage for en-
ployes in the soap manufacturing in
dustry.
Under the Walsh-Healey Public
Contracts Act the secretary deter
mines the minimum rate employers
must pay in performing contracts for
the government.
In addition to the minimum wage,
the act also prescribes the application
of the eight-hour day and forty hour
week, and bans the employment of
male persons under 16 years of age,
female persons under Is years of age,
and convict labor.

United States, 70 Works Progress Ad-

hours. They demanded an eight-hour

was explained, would permit the

A.F. OF |. URGES
NATL PLANNING
TO LIFT OUTPUT

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) The
American Federation of Labor Monthly
Survey of Business, which even Big
Business has learned to look to for
information and ideas, has made it's
present issue clear, strong call for a
national planning board. 1t sets the
case thus:
Business this spring is in stale
mate. Instead of the new upsurge
toward recovery which everyone ex-
pected activity has drifted gradually
downward in the first four months of
1889. :. Business is now some 30
per cent below normal; last year in
April it was 40 per cent below normal.
Even this small improvement over last
year, however, has made it possible
for industrial firms to operate with
considerably more profit.
"Our industrial paralysis is not due
to such industrial i'll health as present
|
prices. Observers agree that industry
today is in healthy condition, fully
ready for expansion, production in
creases and unemployment. Our fail
ure to go ahead is due to uncertainty
| of the future, and to fear of war in
Europe. And because of uncertainty
our industries are running at only &c
per cent of normal and we still have
100000 unemployed (March).
Business Long Subnormal
'Today with national income al
about ,O00,O0O,000 per year, it is
probable that about 100000 fam.
lilies, or roughly half of all families
are now in the substandard group.
"For nearly ten years now business
has been subnormal, and even wher
business was above normal we hat
millions living in poverty. With ca
pacity production it would be entirely
possible to lift every American fam
lily above the minimum health and de
cency standard. Yet neither business
nor government has yet been able tt
achieve this goal"
Saying further that the power agt
and mass production require new
methods to make them give prosperity
to all, the survey makes it's proposal
1--WE have made progress in organ
ization of labor, farmers, busines:
men and consumers since the depres
sion follow 1929; but we have not ye
taken the final step to coordinate oul
national economic activities by set
ting up national planning board.
General Plan Needed
Business men working without co
ordination cannot possibly lift produc
tion to its highest levels for no firm
can cope single handed with the ma
tion-wide factors which influence the
sale of its products. Nor can busi
ness man ever KNOW WiidI tie ueii1ll'
for his product will be a month from
now or year from now. A nationa
planning board could at least develol
a plan for general production in
creases which would give bushes:
firms more certainty of the future
than they have at present; and i
could, after study and research, sug
gest measures to eliminate some O.
the obstacles to progress"

Municipal Employees Of
Jacksonville In A. f. of l..

Jacksonville, Fla. (AFLWNS). -
Employees of the city commission OF
Jacksonville and other city depart
ments have been joining the American
Federation of Labor in scores. Labor
union officials are confident that be-
fore long all of the city employees will
become full-fledged union members.
This splendid result is to a very
large extent due to Fred M. BALI
chairman of the city commission, who
has co-operated 100 per cent in the
matter of organizing city employees.

WISDOM

may err in my measures, but
never shall defect from the intention

years of trying this theory and it
hasn't worked

years of trying this theory and it
hasn't worked.
Slowly the idea that huge ma
tional debt is not exactly thing to
make merry about, is gaining ground.
What to do. is being asked more
and more.
This interest in taxation is reflected
in labor's opposition to sales taxes
and punitive chain store taxation and
in labor's stand on changes in federal
tax laws.
Over year ago, in January, 1898,
the American Federation of Labor ex-
ecutive council declared for modifica-
tion or repeal of the capital gains and
undistributed profits taxes.
Congress later modified both taxes.
Now comes the Brookings lnstitu-
tion, recognized as one of the nations
leading research agencies and sug-
gests detailed plan of tax modifca-
tion to bring increased industrial ex-
pansion and increased employment.
Brookings Institution proposes,
among other things, complete elm
ination of the capital stock and un-
distributed profits taxes, reduction OF
social security taxes and "pay-as-
you-go" basis for financing old age
benefits.
The institution says the nation is
confronted with a situation where a
clear-cut choice must be made,
whether ''to continue the present tax
system, which arrests the flow of
funds into capital enterprises, or to
modify the system in the interest OF
industrial expansion, greater employ
ment and higher standards of living"
An expansion of capital enterprises,
it added, is the only means of solving
the unemployment problem, decreas-
ing the burden of relief and increasing
progressively the nations standard of
living.
Brookings Institution may be right
or wrong in it's tax recommendations
Point is that the program calls for
thorough study, as do other tax pro-
posals.
If the present economic system can't
be made to provide work for all, the
nation will have to make up it's mind
to try something else. No system can
long tolerate having a quarter of it's
working population unemployed. If
taxation changes will help to put the
idle to work, they are bound to come.
The nation as yet has given no real
indication of wanting an entirely diff
ferent economic system.
But if the present system can't be
made to work more efficiently, another
system will take its place, whether
for good or evil, no one can say.
