LOBBYISTS at Lurqe

If there are those who think that
Washington has any monopoly on
the large and rapidly growing family
Of lobbyists, a dfsillusionment awaits
them in the report Of Harvey Walker,
Ohio State University political SCI
ence professor, which is published
in the November issue of State Gov
ernment.
Surveying the 1899 session of the
Ohio House of Representatives, Pro-
fessor Walker found that the lobby
lists not only were active, but sue
cessful as well. This study revealed
that the lobbyists were responsible
for the introduction Of thirty-flve
per cent of all the bills offered, and
that they were successful in securing
the enactment Of thirty-seven per
cent of them. Individual legislators,
on the other hand, introduced twen-
ty-four per cent Of the total of bills
presented, and twenty-five per cent
Of these became law.
On the basis Of his discovery that
the lobbyists had introduced and
were able to secure the passage of
more bills than any other group, in
cluding the legislators themselves,
Professor Walker concluded that the
lawmakers do not have time to con-
suit their individual constituents un-
less they represent organized voting
groups.

Mexican Oil Decision

The decision OF the Mexican Su-
preme Court upholding the expro-
priation in March, 1898, OF the
foreign-owned oil companies con-
cludes one phase of that controversy
by exhausting the legal remedies the
companies have against the Mexican
government. Henceforth If there is
to be any further effort by the oil
companies to recover their properties
1t must be in the diplomatic field, a
sphere OF action which had been
closed, at least as far as the American
Government was concerned, until the
Mexican legal remedies were ex-
hausted.
There was little anticipation that
the Mexican high court would-or
could-do anything else, for 1t has
long shown its disposition to follow
President Cardenas in his new deal"
for the Mexicans.
The recourse the oil companies now
have in their effort to secure a share
IN the operation-and profits-of
their properties is to appeal to the
State Department for diplomatic ac-
ton along one Of two lines, already
indicated in news dispatches: Some
kind Of working agreement between
the Mexican government and the oil
companies, or reference Of the entire
matter to international arbitration.
The American Government has al
ready put forward a plan, which
Undersecretary Of State Sumner
WelleS revealed last August, for the
temporary operation Of the oil prop
critics under neutral control of a
board of directors on which both
Mexico and the stockholders would
be represented. The break in nego-
tiations between Mexico and the oil
firms last summer came over this
matter OF control, and nothing has
been accomplished since then to bring
an agreement any closer.
The Mexican agencies concerned
In the valuation now will reveal what
they consider to be fair compensa-
ton, which the Mexican court ruled
must be made within ten years.
There will be the widest difference
Of opinion over this figure, for the
Mexican government declines to pay
for the subsoil rights Of the COM
panies, but only for the surface prop
critics, both movable and immovable
The American companies place the
value of the properties at some
$150,O00, 900, or more than a third of
the total s400,O00,OOO at which the
entire Mexican oil industry was
valued. But that includes the unex-
plotted properties and concessions
which possessed only future value, so
that if the Mexican formula of direct
investment is followed the figure will
be considerably lower, and scaled to
what Mexico believes is her CAPACITY
to pay.

Strikeout

In the fall, migratory birds, as
they find the pickings growing ever
simmer, call 1t season and depart
for the South, there to stay until
Natures depression is over and busi-
ness becomes normal in the spring
Ball players do pretty much the same
thing. When the hundred and fifty
fourth game goes into the record
books, and they are no longer able
to obtain their weekly supply of ber-
ries at the cashiers window, they,
too, migrate to such far-away places
as Rockbound, Maine, and Sunny,
California, until they return to their
bases in April, lured by the clear
lifting whistles of the umpires call
ing 'Play Ball"
Both birds and batters are thus
relatively idle during the winter, but
until recently it had not been de-
cided whether they are technically
unemployed. Ken Keltner, Indian
third baseman, thought they were,
so he went to bat and applied to the
Cleveland authorities for unemploy-
ment compensation, on the ground
that his large annual salary was
seasonal in character, and had
stopped. The city fathers were sim
gularly unresponsive to the sad tale.
Already toughened by the task of
having to provide, with insufficient
funds, for thousands of cold and
hungry reliefers, they put plenty on
the ball, and bore down on Ken. He
never even got to first base, but was
called out on strikes, and told to
thank heaven for whatever blessings
he had, not the least Of which was q
six-month vacation from the Yanks.

Truininq for Jobs

Means OF 1nSur1ng thousands OF
unemployed Washington employables
against at least part Of the hazards
of depression periods are being con-
sidered by the w. p. A. through in
struction courses which will fit these
individuals for the types Of work in
which labor shortages most COM
monty occur, with particular refer
ence to present employment needs.
Under the plan, training in skilled
trades will be given most of the nine
thousand who are now stranded be-
tween occasional employment and
relief.
Calls to relief agencies in recent
weeks have indicated an increasing
demand for skilled employees, while
the rolls Of available men and women
carry but few who are capable of
doing such work. Similar training
in domestic service has assisted hun
dreds to independence here during
the past two years and instruction
in stenography and the trades asso-
ciated with the construction industry
would prepare hundreds more for a
new lease on economic freedom.
Employable members of families in
want have furnished one of the
distressing pictures in the Capitals
relief needs for long time. Because
of the scarcity of available funds,
these families for the most part have
been denied direct assistance and
have been dependent upon such work
as could be found for them. Any
means of fitting them into the widen
ing opportunities of employment
should be welcome.
But there is one danger which must
be taken into account If the plan is
to be operated intelligeptly in the
best interests of the community.
Some OF the nine thousand who
would be possible candidates for in
struction, of course, probably are not
fitted to absorb profitably such train
ing. But many are. And care should
be taken in mapping the program to
see that unduly large numbers of
such persons are not dumped" into
the various fields of skilled work In
such way as to compete dangerously
with the Jobs Of equally deserving
workers.
With proper foresight the plan can
be made into valuable asset to the
city without causing new labor dis
turbances.

Mr.. Murphy Replies

Attorney General Murphy again
has made it clear that the Depart
ment of Justice has no intention Of
turning aside from the current anti
trust inquiry in the building industry.
In reply to the demand of Presl-
dent William Green of the American
Federation of Labor for frank
statement" of the Department Of
Justice policy with regard to labor,
Mr.. Murphy repeats, in effect, that
unions stand on the same footing as
any other group where business NAL
practice is concerned, and that the
Government will proceed accordingly.
This is entirely proper, particularly
when it is recalled that the acts
which the department previously has
specified as constituting grounds for
prosecution include graft, extortion,
illegal price fixing, combinations to
prevent the use Of cheaper material,
improved equipment OF more efficient
methods, or to compel the hiring Of
useless and unnecessary labor, and
efforts to destroy legitimate systems
Of collective bargaining.
In asking that the attitude OF the
Government be defined, President
Green described application of the
antitrust law to labor as a grave
perversion," but emphasized that the
American Federation of Labor did
not condone illegal acts by its men,
bers, and urged that they "be prose-
cuted under the proper laws"
The opportunity to suggest just
what the Federation believes is the
proper course to be pursued under
the circumstances now is afforded
Mr.. Green by the Attorney General,
who says he will welcome any ex-
preston that will be helpful to the
department.

persons have yet to experience this thrill.
Perhaps the talk Of some women about
"dear little birds" has driven away some
he-men from this sport. But in time
they, too, will succumb, as they come to
realize that the winter spectacle Of birds
feeding in ones own yard is mighty well
worthwhile.
It will appeal to them, too. because 1t
gets so much extra use out Of yard.
Ordinarily, winter garden is dead.
But when scores OF cardinals, blue
jays, titmice, chickadees, sparrows-and
sparrow-nuthatches, and many others,
come to ones own garden, day after day.
1t becomes about the iveliest spot In
town.
Wine, women, and song"
The birds bring q modified version of
that old slogan to the quietest yard.
Food replaces wine, female birds the
women Of the adage, and song remains
song
The result is as novel a scene as any
one can wish, especially novel during
that first winter. The householder may
have put out bread crumbs before, but
he or she had no real interest in the
proceedings
Let the gardener put out seed and
grain daily, however, and in few weeks
he begins to work up genuine interest
In the birds, which become a veritable
part of the garden scene.
There will never be another winter
quite like that first winter Of intensive
bird feeding, but subsequent ones will
prove mighty interesting, just the same
because there is always something new
to watch.
Many small problems will come up
The solving of these or their acceptance
and often acceptance Is the best solu-
tion-will keep up the personal interest
of the home owners.

tions, made with grain hoppers and the
like, 1t is easy to make or purchase them.
What the birds want In the cold is
food. and they are not particular how
they get it.
The sidewalk or the window sill makes
an acceptable feeding place, too. A gar
den is not essential, although highly de-
sirable, because it has trees, and birds
like trees.
Birds-and squirrels-come to any win
dow ledge where food is placed.
They gather on any sidewalk, even in
the busy downtown, where some thought
full human has sprinkled few seeds or a
bit Of cracked corn.
These evidences Of good will in action
are all the more essential this Christ
mas, when a great part of the world is
blotted with the evil of bad will rampant

Heroic Firms

Whatever may be the ultimate fate
of the Firms, the valiant resistance
which they are putting up against
Russian invasion by land, sea and
air receives the hearty applause of
the world.
OF the Hango Peninsula, around
the Arctic port of Petsamo, along the
Karelian front, around Helsinki and
other Finnish cities mercilessly
bombed by Red warplanes-every-
where in fact that Russia has exerted
her armed might-ths Firms are re-
sisting stubbornly.
All this is in line with the coura-
geous speech made to the United
States Saturday by the new Finnish
foreign minister, Vaino Tanner, a
speech which nullified any belief that
Finland had reformed her govern
ment for the purpose of yielding to
her colossal neighbor Anxious only to
pursue life of peace in cooperation
with other nations Finland will not
close her ears to any suggestions for
peace negotiations, but at the same
time will fight resolutely against any
infringement of her independence
and integrity, which, Mr.. Tanner de-
clares, the Soviet cannot destroy.
While pursuing her national destiny
on the field of battle, Finland also
will carry her fight to the League of
Nations, arrangements having been
made for her to present her case on
Saturday to the Council at Geneva.
Soviet Russia is member of the
Council and has professed loyalty
to it.
Those who stand with Finland
hope there is some real chance that
she will get assistance from the
League. But although Geneva could
be used as sounding board for the
worlds hostility to the Red Pariah-
in which Italy herself might be in
duced to join, thus bringing her back
to Geneva-the chances of effectively
applying pressure to Russia are slim.
Self sufficient, relying on few sources
or markets abroad, the Soviet is vir-
tually immune to economic sanctions.
Only military sanctions, which would
give the war worldwide scope,
would be of any avail, and that step
probably will not be taken. But the
machinery of the League remains in
existence, ready for use whenever
the nations of the world find them
selves sufficiently united to. make it
work.
