SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL ''MOBS"!

THE UNITED STATES is not the only country
where the crowds attending athletic events
are so large they would make julius Caesars eyes
pop out and the Rome of julius day saw some
good sized audiences.
Consider what happened in Glasgow on New
Years Day. The Glasgow Rangers were scheduled
to meet the Celtic team. The newspapers predicted
football history would be made. 1t was. When the
game started 100000 men, women and children
were packed in the stands, and 10000 who failed
to gain admission battled with the police outside
The Rangers downed the Celts, two to one and
Irish hearts were sad. However, they'll be back
next year and already the promoters are talking
about enlarging the stands.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Several recent incidents of world
Importance should be put together, SO
that their bearing on each other may
be plain.
First, Joseph P Kennedy and VIM
c. Bullitt, American ambassadors to
Britain and France, went before the
joint military affairs committees of
House and Senate to tell Of present
conditions in Europe. Details were
kept secret; but the main lines of their
evidence are clear. Both expect a
world war to start in Europe not
later than the coming summer. 1t is
quite as likely to come from Mussolini's
demands on France as from Hitler's
drive toward the Ukraine.
Next, these ambassadors confirmed
the frequent stories that Germany's
air force gives her at present great
advantage. Germany is held to have
adopted the mass production of air.
plane parts and putting them together
on an assembly line which enormously
speeds production; and the remarks of
members of the Congressional COM
mittees who heard the two ambass-
adors seem to verify this. Reports
from experts for months have de-
scribed German pursuit planes much
inferior to those Of Russia in the
fighting in Spain. This would modi-
fly but not abolish the gains from mass
production.
X X X
A secret document of the German
secret police has been smuggled out
of the country which shows serious
signs of mutinies in the German army
if the raid on Czechoslovakia had re-
suited in war. This is rather confirm
ed and also discounted by the known
fact that the high command of the
German army has been pretty thor
oughly reorganized since that date.
Evidently, the facts cited here-and
others-were known to the White
House many weeks ago.
x X x
A seven-mile steel rope has been
devised, to explore the bottom of the
ocean. 1T weighs tons; the gear and
tackle which runs it weights another
tons. 1t has container at the bot
tom, into which an explosive throws
some of the sea bed for examination.
1t has been tried before,-to depth
of 3 miles; and reports SO far are
that sea and mud contains a good deal
Of radium.
Does this seem any stranger to
some variously dated ancestors of
ours who, at their proper times,
would have pronounced it silly,
To make fire,
To find stones that could be Clipped
to knife or ak,
To find other stones that you could
heat in the fire and pound out into
tools?
The strange thing is that man so
often makes good on his efforts, and
the silly thing is that he doesn't get
used to it,

The Cherry. Tree
Where We Hdtchet Out
The Truth
. LABOR LEGISLATION
o WOEFULLY INADEQUATE
. ORGANIZED LABOR
. STILL FACES TASK

| U. S. Department of Labor points
out labor legislation in this country
is woefully inadequate.
Take workmen's compensation laws,
for example.
There is nothing new about such
Legislation.
The first workmen's compensation
act was passed in 1910-nearly 80
years ago-and today there are only
two states lacking compensation laws.
Progress? Surely, BUT
The Labor Department finds
that only half our wage earners
have the protection of workmen's
compensation laws.
Laws that provide no compensation
for millions subject to the hazards of
industrial death and accident are not
all they might be.
X x X
| Labor Department also finds few
workmen's compensation laws provide
benefits for death or disability due to
occupational diseases.
Only beginning has been made at
compensating for occupational ills.
"Twenty- y-eight states," says the de-
partment, "still leave occupational
diseases uncompensated under work.
mems compensation laws-and very
few of such laws compensate for all
diseases arising out of employment"
Yet occupational diseases are as
truly a result of industrial employ
ment as industrial accidents.
Compensation for occupational
diseases presents more difficulties
than compensation for industrial acci-
dents.
Difficulties, however, can be over
come and compensation given victims,
insofar as money and care can COM
pensate them or their relatives.
x x X
Other examples of inadequate labor
legislation are cited by the Labor De-
partment, including 80 states without
legal limits of hours, even for
women, 26 states with a legal weekly
limit in excess of 4S hours and eight
states with no legal limit at all.
These facts give an idea of the task
still faced by organized labor in the
legislative field.
Much of the work will fall on state
A. F. of l.. bodies.
International Labor News Service
has commented number of times on
the vital need of state labor legisla-
ton.
Report of the Labor Department
emphasizes this need.
State federations of labor are best
fitted to cope with legislative prob
lens in their own territories.
They know conditions and how best
to meet them.
X X X
Picture Of evicted sharecroppers and
their families camping in the open air
along Missouri highways reminds US
Of similar pictures from Europe.
In the case of Europe, the pictures
show refugees fleeing from the tyr
amy Of dictatorial governments.
Both American and European pic
lures show something is wrong.
Evidently something is de-
cidedly wrong when more than
1000 sharecroppers camp in the
cold January air in protest against
their treatment.
How about reforming ourselves be-
fore we throw up our hands in holy
horror at the sins of our neighbors?
Missouri would seem to be good
place to start the reformation.
