Fight War On Poverty,
Urge OF Rep. V0orhis

Washington, D. c. (ILNSl IN The
best way to keep out Of Europe's war
is to fight our own war-the war
against poverty, Representative Jerry
Voorhis of California told conference
of the Peoples Lobby, Inc.
Voorhis said that there were three
things to do to win that war. They
were:
l. Increase the volume of credit
actively available and the volume of
money in the hands of consumers.
g. Establish and maintain a suffi-
GENTLY effective and scientific tax pro-
gram, and social security system, to
bring and maintain full production,
with a balanced federal budget.
3. Put every unemployed person to
work creating needed social capital
for public health, slum clearances, etc.

TIPS NOT WAGES

That hardy perennial "Are Tips
Wages?" appeared in court recently
in Ohio. The decision in the case is
of interest and important to states
with minimum wage laws as well as
to workers in industries where tip
ping is factor to be considered in
fixing minimum wage rates.
The Ohio case concerned waitress
who sued her employer for back wages
due her because of underpayment un-
der the minimum wage order. Her
employer contended that counting
tips, she had earned above the re-
quired minimum wage.
Inasmuch as the minimum wage or
der in the restaurant industry in Ohio
did not include tips in setting the min

WHAT NEXT?

Trucks and automobiles of the Mid
dlesex County government in London,
England, will soon be operating on
sludge gas-a by-product of the
county sewage plant-to save gaso-
line. Middlesex County, a part of
metropolitan London, is building a
$4,000 plant to make use of this by
product in motor vehicles possible
Similar use of sludge gas has been
reported as common in Germany.

CENSORSHIP S0UNDLY
REBUKED

Police censorship of printed matter
has been sharply rebuked in Detroit
by Circuit Court Judge Ira w. Jayne
in a decision based on sound sense.
Judge Jayne denied an injunction
against Detroit's police censors re-
straining them from interfering with
the sale of Ernest Hemingway's novel,
"To Have and To Have Not" The
police had sought to stop book
dealer from selling the book.
Prosecutor Duncan c. McCrea in
May, 1888, ordered the Detroit Public
Library to remove the novel from the
library's shelves and instructed police
to bar it's further sale in Detroit A
lower court denied temporary in
junction.
Judge Jayne, in his decision, sug-
gested Uhdt the BOOKSELLER test Cne
censorship in criminal court before
jury of his peers, armed with the
courage of his convictions"
Censorship is repugnant to free
dom of expression so essential to
progress" said Judge Jayne. "The
question of what is obscene depends
upon the standards Of the particular
community. No better, no fairer
test of these standards has been de-
vised than jury selected from the
whole body of the populace"

IL BREWERIEs SUSPENDED

Harrisburg. Eleven breweries Of
this state have been suspended for
periods ranging from to 20 days by
the Pennsylvania Liquor Control
Board
The suspensions arose out OF
charges Of alleged violations under
the fair trade practice provisions Of
the states malt beverage law. Brew
cries were allowed to pay a fine OF
500 per day in lieu Of the suspension
if they SO wished.

the old argument that labor unions are
running industry. That explosive was
made of applesauce, anyway.
General Motors is in the headlines
with an announcement of an "all-time
high" in its fourth quarter net profit
for 1889 After paying the preferred
dividends, it was equal to $168 a
share for the common stock.
General Motors, which most bit
terly fought all relations with organ
lied labor in any form, has now dem
onstrated the truth of the British doc
trine, to the effect that any of the
most certain aids in the stabilizing of
industry is the establishment of per-
manent and friendly relations with
the organizations of their employees.
1t is a source of satisfaction to those
who have been spending their lives to
bring about some decency and good
order in labor relations, to see the
great industries, under the influence
of fair legal recognition Of labor's
rights, coming to recognize the essen
tial contributions which the productive
workers of the nation can make to
its prosperity.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

| pointed out that labor was not re-
sponsible for the spiral"
"Voluntary Savings" was also con-
sidered, which is proposed to take the
form of war savings certificates, war
bonds, and the like. The labor repre-
sentatives asked of the employers that
if labor makes a drive for voluntary
savings the possession of such saw
ings should not be used against them
in future negotiations concerning
wages; and of the government they
asked, that any such savings under
$500 should not be used by the gov
ernment to penalize workers in the
applicatio nof any "means test" dur
ing possible long spell of unemploy
ment following the war.
The fact that these matters are be-
ing thus openly thrashed out in ses-
sions of labor representatives is in
strong contrast to the Savings" plans
previously announced for the German
/ WOIhGIS, WUOSS savings dlC SOlii-
pulsorily taken from their wages, and
turned over to the administration of
the Nazis.
Frederick Stampfer, exiled German
labor leader, told the A. F. of L. ex-
ecutive council at Miami that the free
German labor movement is still alive
despite the best efforts of the Nazis
to kill it.
Il can state positively that the Ger
man labor movement is not dead,
Stampfer said. "On the day thai
Hitler's rule is shattered the labor
movement will be there and within {
, short time after it will be more pow
, erful than ever before.
, '1here is determined, deadl!
hatred for Hitler in the hearts of mil
lions of German working men,"
} American labor will rejoice if tn,
prophecy comes true and free labo
movement arises to take its prope
! place in a Germany cleansed o

and criticism, you really have made
a ten-strike if you can evolve plan
that four large communities get be-
hind, a plan that has the wholehearted
endorsement of institutions, the man
on the street and business leaders
alike.
Such program is the Hospital
Care plan, backed by Fort Hamilton
and Mercy Hospitals in Hamilton and
II participating hospitals in Dayton,
Middletown and Cincinnati. Moreover,
the plan has attracted the active sup
port of men like l.. S. French, presi-
dent of the Cincinnati Typographical
Union; Peter E. Rentschler, leader
in Hamilton Community Chest work
Monsignor Marcellus Wagner of Gin
cinnati and other outstanding leaders.
How does the program work? You
pay less than six pennies a day; and
you are assured hospital care for
yourself, your spouse and your chill
dren (single and up to the age of 19)
This means hospital care not only in
the Hamilton hospitals but in the Gin
cinnati, Dayton and Middletown non
profit hospitals any one on the list
recommended by your doctor.
If you are single, you pay only 21a
cents day for this assurance of hos
pitalization.
Well, what do you get for these
payments? Studies show that one in
every 10 people in this district will
need disqualification during the year
If you or one of your youngsters or
your wife happens to be one of those
10, you and your doctor select the hos
pital-any Of the following: Fort
Hamilton and Mercy in Hamilton; Be
thesda, Children's, Christ, Deaconess,
Good Samaritan, Jewish and St
Mary's in Cincinnati; Good Samari-
tan, Miami Valley and ST. Elizabeth
in Dayton, and Middletown Hospital
in Middletown.
Then you are assured room and
board in semi private accommodation;
general nursing service and the eff
cient care that only hospital can
give you, plus use of the operating
room (without limitation), laboratory
and pathological service, physiother-
apy, drugs and dressings Exclusive
of ampoules and vitamins) basal me-
taoolism tests, blood chemistry exam
nations, serums, oxygen and mater
nifty care. In case you want private
room service, you may have it at a
slight extra cost determined by the
nature of accommodations you seek.
For the first year of the contract,
you are assured q days of hospital
ization for each member of your fam
lily covered by your agreement; in
succeeding years, 80 days of hospital
ization are assured for each member
of the family.
These are few of the salient facts
about the Hospital Care program, a
plan which is proving of mutual bene-
fit to workers and our great hospitals
alike. The program, now carried on
in rs cities, is unquestionably the
American way of tackling serious
problem-the way of cooperation
Additional information concerning
the plan is available from your fore

Whatever is to be said of limitations
imposed otherwise, it appears that in
the democratic countries involved in
war the labor front remains demo-
cratic. This is notably SO in France,
where it is not hard now to believe
that the Omitted Front" in labor poll
tics was a longtime Communistic
plan. The firm hand taken by the
government has not hurtfully affected
the economic operations on the in
dustrial side.
French employers face the national
problem in all its phases, and one of
their most vital decisions was that
with reference to labor policy, That
the labor unions also recognized the
inner meaning of the course of events
was manifested in their attitude.
Longer hours were cheerfully accepted
by them, as necessary to the produc-
tion of military necessities.
Meanwhile, the cooperative agree
ment on labor measure is shown in
the following summary of the main
lines of labor policy for the duration
of the war:
(D collective agreements remain
the keystone of industrial re-
lations:
(2) normal and decent application
of the shop steward system;
(3) punishment of recalcitrant EN-.
ployers.
In Great Britain also, there was {
meeting of the national Joint Advisory
Council of the labor unions, which wa:
addressed by the Chancellor of tn,
Exchequer. 1t was noted that th'
| Chancellor did not ask the council tt
agree that there should be no war ad
vances in wages. Rather was his EN-
/ phasis upon request that there
should not be repetition of the wi
cious spiral" of the last war period
when wages fought to keep up will

Soo dSo
Possibly carelessness or over-con-
fidence had something to do with it.,
but several players, when asked,
admitted that they didn't know how
to handle this combination. We ex-
planned the correct play as follows:
The only possibility of losing a
trick Is If one opponent holds all four
trumps. If they are all in the East
hand, nothing can be done about it
"A trick must be lost. But If, as
was the case, they are all in Vests
hand, both trump honors can be
captured. The play should be made
from the hand containing the single
honor-in this case the ace. After
playing the ace, low spade should
be played and West would naturally
split his honors. Then re-enter the
South hand and lead another spade.
Now a second finesse will capture the
other honor.
We are curious to know whether
any OF the players involved will ever
make this same mistake again.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-For the

gains by fractions to around 2

stepped into line and. at the close,

There were few outstanding de-

speculative contingents thought the
list appeared more responsive TO
bullish inspiration than otherwise.
In addition, the opinion was wide
spread that the recent industrial
recession may have been pretty well
discounted.
