DEATHS SCYTHE ALONG
NEWSPAPER ROW

Haywood Broun, leftist column writer
and president of the American News
paper Guild (ClO), died Monday
Preceding him a few hours in death.
as death is known to newspapers in their
family councils, was the Atlanta Georgia
American, an afternoon newspaper. Not
long before the Georgia-Amerca eXpir-
ed, the San Diego Sun breathed its last
gust of printers ink.
Along the outbound trail with Column
list Haywood Broun perhaps will be the
spirits of those once living, breathing
newspapers which have passed away
since September A partial list reads
like roll of honor Of American journal
ism. There were the Newark Star-Eagle.
the Chicago Herald-EXaminer. the Roch-
ester Evening News, the Santa Rosa In
dependent, the Lubbock Daily Times.
and at least seven others, big and little.
And perhaps as they go together to
eternity, the spirit of Haywood BrOun
and the spirits of those newspapers in
the death of which his CIO guild had
such large hand will be able at last to
compromise the difficulties they could
not settle during their lifetimes.
Those newspapers died because, strug-
Cling against severe economic odds, they
could not keep the red ink out of their
ledgers. The things they purchased,
such as white paper and ink, news SER
vices and equipment, We're higher than
ever before The taxes they had to pay
We're higher than ever before. Theirs was
a struggle To make ends meet in the face
of ever increasing costs, struggle every
newspaper is fighting these days. Then
the guild came along, drawn up and oper-
ated along CIO lines-and labor troubles
added to the already excessive costs of
operation.
the end was Inevitable for some. The
newspapers went out of business Their
employees, who had used militant CIO
methods only few short weeks before
to obtain wage increases, We're left en-
tirely without Jobs. Others, who had no
hand in the guild, were equal sufferers.
Nobody benefited.
Therein is lesson labor unions, wheth-
er the newspaper guild or some other or
ganization of employees, should take TO
heart. No business can continue to oper-
ate at a loss, and when any business
ceases to operate, everyone suffers.
Would it not be better for unions to
look at the employers side of the ques-
ton, as we'll as their own, before taking
hasty action?

Famous SAVINGS

No one understands better than
industry itself the tender relation
ships that exist between it and the
consumer Nor has industry for
cotton that the kind of treatment it
accords its employees will reflect on
the community and ultimately back
on the industry
Apparently aware of their present
limitation and prompted by a desire
to set their own house in order, re-
presentativeS of industry, attending
the Congress of American Industry
in New York, recently adopted a 28-
point program. designed to bring
about a better understanding be-
tween manufacturers and the people
upon whom industry is dependent.
Dominant in the platform was an
appreciation of the sociological i'm
portance OF industry and emphasis
of the belief that free enterprise
has definite responsibility toward
labor-that without recognition of
this responsibility, things can not
be expected to run smoothly.
Here are a few objectives to which
industry has plegded itself
Increasing the value of products
the consumer needs and wants, re-
flected both in the price he pays
and the quality he receives.
Use OF research facilities available

Industry Knows the Answers

in the creation of new products ana
TO the end of increasing the quantity
of goods put upon the market.
Maximum income for employees,
based both on the greatest re-
gularity of employment, and on such
equitable wage rates consistent Win
conditions in the community, as Will
promote increased productions and
ton according TO ability, with due
employment.
Employment, retention and promo
regard to past service.
Cooperation with the employees IN
making provision against the ha-
yards of death, old age, sickness and
disability.
Recognition of the right of the
employe to join any labor organiza-
ton, or none at all, as the employe
himself may deem best in his own
interest, of his own free will and
volition, without coercion, duress or
intimidation from any source.
Back in the roustabout days OF
industrial pioneering, there was little
thought given TO consumer relation
ships or responsibility toward EN-
ployes. A man built a factory and
tackled up Men Wanted" sign
and that was that. From there on,
his sole duty was to produce; every
thing else took care of itself.
Today the industry y-employe-con-
sumner circle is not SO simple. SySS
tematiZed, intelligent progress is
necessary The welfare of all groups
is closely linked Government has
attempted to step in and Soothe the
wounds that were opened in 1929.
Industry was not satisfied and has
now proceeded TO formulate its
own credo.
Anything that can put men back
to work, produce q higher standard
of living will be welcomed.

athlete. The pride of San Fran
cisco When she was 20 she was
one Of the best woman tennis
rlaverj in the United States. She
was the Wonder Girl of the Western
World. She was headed straight Tor
the top.
Then disaster struck. She was en-
tered in a tennis tournament which
tn officials were anxious to have
finished on schedule time. The day
OF the final play came and some
thing else came with it. A heat
wave. The thermometer boiled and
sizzled. Up and up it zoomed. II
reached l0f.
The officials did not want the
game to stop. and so she played
OF in the inferno. She met opponent
after opponent and swept them
down New opponents were bought
on. Sine sent them down. She played
al almost unheard of total-l08
Games in blast-furnace heat. When
the last opponent was finished she
started TO the club house. Suddenly
the was q scream from the spec
tators. The champion had collapsed.
She was taken to her home in
San Francisco and put to bed, and
there sne lay week after week SO
broken and emaciated that she
could not leave her bed.
A year passed She was better
A telegram arrived. She had been
named member OF the United
States Wightman Cup team. 1t was
q great honor. She began to prac-
tice tennis again; went to Paris with
her teammates, went onto the court,
collapsed She was taken home to
San Francisco again, where the doc
tors examined her and said she
would never play again. She would
be an invalid the rest of her life.
She became The Forgotten Girl of
Tennis.
But she would not give up, She
was in bed almost year, then be-
gan to practice again, feebly at
first, stronger as the days marched
past And she did play again. One
year after she got out of bed she won
a match. Fans looked at their pro-
grams who was this girl? Some
of them remembered her Oh, yes,
they said, that California girl.
She went in. She won. Not only
once, but three times. She is now
world woman singles champion,
Other things began to happen:
John Mccormick, the famous sing
er, heard her sing. He was i'm
pressed. He gave her lessons. Alice
Marble tackled her singing with
the same determination with which
she had tackled tennis.
Radio heard of her, she was given
a try-out, she has been signed at
$1,000 a week. And while / was in
Hollywood they told me it would not
be long till she would be a movie
star Not bad for The Girl Who
Would Not Give Up.

USELESS EXPENDITURE

So far the LaFollette committee, sup
posedly investigating the Associated Far
mers and causes of labor unrest in Cali
fornia harvest fields, has not uncovered
anything it could not have found out by
buying and reading California news
papers.
The committee has spent thousands of
dollars calling witnesses and obtaining
testimony which is nothing but a rehash
of what the newspapers have printed
from time to time, as trouble came up
in the harvest fields 1t would have been
a lot cheaper to pay nickels for the news
papers.
The committee has found out there
were a lot Of strikes in California. Com
mitteemen have heard both sides give
their views Of the strikes, just as they
have been giving them to reporters for
10. these many months. In other words,
they have found out nothing the average
Californian did not know.
The net result of the LaFollette probe,
it seems right now, is to bring out moth
ing new, but to keep radical propaganda
alive

Bruce Cation in WASHINGTON
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON The heaviest
budget cutting yet seen under the
New Deal Is now being worked out
between the White House and the
budget director. according to reli-
able sources within the admins
tration
President Roosevelt wasn't fool
ing when he said he was going TO
slash expenditures next year. The
ue-penciling now going on IS
raising hoWls of anguish all over
town. Savings contemplated are
said to run to hundreds of mil
lions. with some OF the most Sacro-
sanct of New Deal pets feeling
the ak heavily.
AS an indication that the Presi-
dent is really determined to cut,
it is reported that even the Civil
ian Conservation CorpS-apple Of
the Presidents eye. and one of the
most Widely-pralsed Of all New Deal
agencies--is going TO take q sub
stantial slash.
Another New Deal faYorite is the
National Youth Administration,
which has 500 100000 to operate on
this year. Reports are that it is 60
ing to have TO get along on $700O0,-
coo next. The Farm Security Admin
istration, which got warned to eX-
pecl a reduction TO about SIPS 00O,-
coo.
WPA, spending S1,477OOO,OOO this
year. is also said TO be in line for
slash, although the extent of the
projected cut is not known.
Grants-in-aid made under the
Social Security Board-sums allotted
to the states for old age assistance,
aid to the blind, and allotments for
dependent children-are expected
TO be reduced by 10 per cent. For
these grants this year there was
appropriated S278 100000
1t is not only the emergency bur-
eaus and agencies that are af-
fected. Budgets for the regular de-
partments are also being pruned
heavily; a common question these
days IS How in the world are We
gong to operate next year?"-in-
dicating at least that the word has
Imperial Valley press., 1939-12-19

gone out that some ruthless cutting
is To be done.
Even such organizations rs the
old-line research bureaus in the De
partment OF Agriculture, Tor m
stance, have warned to eXpec; re
duction. and to plan the next years
WORK on the basis OF completing all
projects now under way but not to
start any new ones.
One report has it that such bu-
reauS are slated TO receive less than
in any year since pre-NeW Deal
days Incidentally, certain veterans
government mployes-"career' men
who have been in service since be
fore the New Deal take such re-
ports so seriously that they are now
quietly looking for jobs elsewhere
One thing that adds TO the pes
simlsm of the various bureau and
department people is the fact that If
these reductions are made by the
White House they won't be able to
squawk. When Congress proposes
TO slash the appropriation for a
given department or agency, the Of
ficialS involved can issue state
menus protesting that their essential
work will De ruined. But ii the Pre-
sident proposes the cuts, no one
darcS TO say word.
How far it will go is q question.
Next year is an election year, and
there is a tendency here to look on
these reductions as campaign ma
terlal. 1t is even suggested that they
can be nullified by the simple pro-
cess of having bureaus and depart
ments simply go ahead and spend
Their whole years appropriation in
the first six or eight months, trust
ing tc a deficiency appropriation
which would be voted after the cleo
ton was over-to make up the dill
ference.
Congress can checkmate that very
easily, however, by stipulating the
rate per month at which each APP
preparation may be spent. If it
actually votes the reductions, and
doubts the administration willing
ness 10 abide by the result, it will
probably do just that.

CONSUMER WELFARE

Christian Science Monitor)
The platform of American industry"
announced at the convention of the Ma
tiOnal Manufacturers Association is
shorter than most political platforms
and we'll worth popular attention. 1t
represents the essence of 700 Industrial
with three great groups with which they
deal: consumers, employees, investors.
Something also is said about that other
group - government - and the need for
fewer restrictions is pointed out But
the platform is primarily for self-gud-
ance and it may be said at once that
maintenance Of this standard would re-
move most of the arguments for govern
mental interference. Particularly en-
lightened is the platforms recognition
Of the consumer: industrial manage
ment must recognize that upon the vel
fare Of the consumer the welfare Of all
the other elements in the industrial eco
nomy depends"
When industry single. .mindedly de-
votes itself to consumer welfare it is
serving the largest general interest and
promoting public welfare. Government
as agent for the public then has little
excuse for restricting industry. And con-
sumers should see to it that government
as their representative acts not to ham
per industry, or to help one group Of
producers against another-usually to
the consumers cost-but only 10 encOur-
age free enterprise and equal competi-
ton.
