THE REAL PROBLEM

Ignorance about money widens
the chasm of hate between those who
are wealthy without working and
those who are poor but do all the
work which produced the wealth.
"The wedge which sprung this
chasm of hate, is usury, any increase
or interest whatsoever for the use
of money.
''The maui which drives this wedge
deeper, is the ever increasing public
debt by the interest-on-bonds meth
cd, which will eventually widen the
breach between those who have and
those who have not until the rich
will have destroyed the productive
ness Of the poor. Then history will
repeat itself in bloody revolution. -
Leslie Taylor.

TO KNOW ALL is TO
FORGIVE ALL

If l knew you and you knew me
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree
If I knew you, and you knew me.
If knew you and you knew me,
AS each one knows his own self; we
Could look each other in the face
And see therein a truer grace.
Life has so many hidden woes,
So many thorns for every rose;
The why" of things our hearts
would see,
If I knew you and you knew me.

Peace
Meetings Fail

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Two days
of peace meetings between AFL
officials and members of the NLRB
have ended in failure. No basis for
compromise on the question OF
amending the Wagner act was found,
said joint statement issued by
NLRB Counsel Charles Fahy and
AFL Counsel Joseph A. Padway
The statement, issued May II, fol-
lows:
Since noon of last Tuesday the
Natl Labor Relations Board has had
several conferences with representa-
tives of the American Federation OF
Labor for the purpose of discussing
the proposed amendments to the
national labor relations act.
while there was a frank and
friendly exchange of views, the
board and the federation were not
able to come to an agreement with
reference to the proposed amend
ments.
"The board and the federation are
advising Chairman Thomas of the
senate committee on education and
labor of the termination of the con-
ferences."
The chief stumbling block, it ap-
peared, was the AFL's insistence that
the present 3-man board be replaced
by 5-man board. AFL Pres. Viii
liam Green called this proposal one
of the most vital to his branch of
organized labor.
Hearings on proposed amendments
continued in both houses of Con-
gress. The house hearing was en-
livened by a sharp exchange be-
tween Rep. Clare Hoffman (R.,
Mich.) and Rep. Reuben T. Wood
d., Mo-.
Hoffman, longstanding foe of the
act, asked the house labor commit
tee to insert a clause saying that
employees had the right to join "or
not to join" a union. Wood re-
minded him that the law does not
now compel anyone to sign up and
asked: "Then you want to make the
closed shop unlawful?"
Hoffman did not give a direct an
swer. 81 only want to write into
the law the right that everyone
recognizes a man should have-the
right to join or not to join" he re-
peated,
The senate committee on educa-
ton and labor heard DR.. William NJ
Leiserson, recently nominated to the
NLRB, suggest that Congress care
fully investigate attacks on the Wag-
ner act.
He pointed out that the Wagner
act and the railway labor act pre-
scribed identical policies for collec-
tive bargaining, but employers have
accepted the railway act while con-
centrating their fire on the national
labor relations act.

All Labor, Editor Says
APEX Decision Menates

ST. PAUL, MINI. - (FP) - The
$711,932 judgment won by the Apex
Hosiery Co. of Philadelphia against
the American Federation of Hosiery
Workers (CIO) is a threat to all
labor, The Minnesota Union Advo-
cate warns in its May issue. The
paper, edited by A. F. Lockhart, is
the official organ of the st. Paul
Trades and Labor Assembly (AFL)
Pointing out that the Apex suit
differs from the Danbury hatters
case because the latter was not
marked by violence or vandalism,
the editorial notes that the company
could have used the state courts to
collect for damages during the sit
down strike but deliberately in
voked the Sherman act to set a
precedent"
"The Apex case has set the calen-
dar back SO years" the editorial
states, "and once more-by judicial
Interpretation - an enactment of
Congress has been perverted to crush
the trade union movement. Since
the Apex decision numerous unions
have been sued-all under the Sher-
man antitrust law
"If any American Federation of
Labor unionists think the Apex de-
cision is not a threat to labor simply
because the hosiery workers are
affiliated with the CIO-they had
better disabuse their minds once and
for all. The Apex verdict, if sus-
tanned in the U. S. Supreme Court
will be a death verdict to hundreds
of unions, no matter what their
affiliation may be"

Questions and Answers
CLAIMED EXEMPTION DURING
WORLD WAR

c.: If a man evaded the draft
during the World War while having
his first papers only, can he apply
for citizenship?
A.; If man claimed exemption
during the World War and withdrew
his first papers at that time in order
to avoid military service, the Act of
July 9, 1918, declares that such per-
sons shall forever be debarred from
becoming citizens of the United
States. However, if one claimed
exemption during the war, but did
not formally cancel his first papers,
then that person may be eligible for

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR CITIZENSHIP

O.. My mother entered the United
States in 1918 at the age of "a years.
She wants to become an American
citizen, but unfortunately, she is un-
able to read or write. What can she
do?
A.: There is at present a bill
pending in Congress, H. R. 1859, in
troduced by Rep. Lesinski, which
would make such persons eligible
for citizenship provided they are
over so years of age and they entered
before February 5, 1917. In the
meantime, your mother should apply
for her first papers for which there
are no educational requirements,
since the bill will only apply to per-
sons who already have applied for
their first papers. If the bill fails
to pass, your mother will have time
to attend school and prepare herself
to pass the educational requirements
for citizenship.

CITIZENSHIP AND MARRIAGE
TO AN ALIEN

O.: 1 became a citizen by marry
ing an American citizen in 1919. My
husband has since died and, about
six months ago, l was married a
second time, to an alien. Do l still
retain my American citizenship or
have l lost it? What must l do?
A.: You did not lose your citizen
ship by marriage to an alien. Since
September %, 1922, women do not
lose their American citizenship by
marriage to aliens.

cism and objections were directed
against Standard Time in 1883 as
are now directed against Daylight
Savings Time. 1t took years for
some people to become accustom-
ed to getting their time from the
Naval Observatory at Washington

sumed to be intact. Yet there is
something symbolic about this
passing of memory from one of
the most solemn pages in the
book of mans life. 1t has fall
len precipitously from his high
estate.
Memory training no longer
plays the part in the school cur
riculum it used to do. The older
generation can look, wistfully
back to the days when boys and
girls had to learn a quotation a
day. and labored over that skele-
ton OF history - in more senses
than one = the tables of kings
and queens and battles. Minds
are still stored with waits and
strays from that period. The
tendrils of memory cling to them
through the years, long after their
roles in history have faded into
the fog.
New principles have been intro
duced~ into the processes of edu-
cation. Reason was enthroned
and later "self-expression.' 1t is
argued that any moron can mem
Orize but thinking requires brains.
But on what meat does the rea-
son in this work-a-day world feed
if not on the things remembered?
A good memory lightens almost
every labor and in some fields of
human endeavor it is the differ
ence between success and failure.
And memorizing is the best build
er of memories. The new in edu-
cation is not necessarily an i'm
provement on the old.
