Defer OF NRA Loses
Compensation Fight

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS).-Fred M
Perkins, York, Pa, small manufac-
turer of batteries, who once gained
national notoriety by defying the Ma
tional Recovery Act, was overruled by
the Dauphin County Court in an ac-
tion to knock out the State Unemploy-
ment Compensation Act.
Judge William M. largest decided
that the court "has no power to con-
slider" the manner and operation of
the four-year- statute. Perkins had
objected to paying S222.61 in the 2.7
per cent wage tax claimed by the
state, arguing that it was "sur-
render" of Pennsylvania rights be-
cause the federal government had
taken custody over a $120,000,0
trust fund accumulated from social
security taxes.

STRIKES in 1910
UNDER '39 TOTAL

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins has re-
ported that in the first nine months of
1910 there were only 80 per cent as
many strikes as in the corresponding
periods for 1889 and 1888 and only 43
per cent as many as in 1887.
"The number of workers involved
in the 1910 period was only 81 per
cent as great as in 1880, 68 per cent
as great as in 1888, and only % per
cent as many as in 1887" she said.
preliminary estimates of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics show total
of 1,750 strikes for the first nine
months in 1910.
"These strikes involved 375,000
workers. Strike activity was at an
extremely low ebb during the first
three months of the year, and there
have been fewer strikes in each quar-
ter than in the corresponding periods
in the last three years.
''There have been no large strikes,
comparatively speaking, so far this
year. The largest was two-day
stoppage in the women's garment in
dustry in New York, which involved
around $4,000 workers. There were
only six other strikes in which as
many as 5000 workers were involved"

life pleasant for satellites of victory
in Washington.
The trouble with that idea is that
there have been more dirty columnists
than could be accommodated, even
under the most generous of circum-
stances.
The whole experience points up one
thing: Newspapers will do well to
clean their pages. They can't entirely
wipe away the stains left from these
past weeks of poisonous filth, but they
can sweep up the place for the future.
Sweep it up and mop it up-and then
disinfect it.
The would-be king-makers have
done the kind of job that makes no
more of it highly desirable.
Happily the labor press has resorted
to no such exhibition of slanderous
writing.
In pleasant contrast to the daily
newspaper field, the labor press has
gone through this bitter campaign
with a dignity and cleanliness that
should make their readers proud and
their owners very satisfied.
Reasoned argument is one thing and
hatred is another. Reasoned argument
is not only permissible, but highly
desirable. 1t should be indispensable.
1t is proper to discuss issues and then
explain divergent views. We have
freedom and we should exercise it
fully.
But freedom has descended to Ii
cense. License is excused, but should
not be, merely because it's politics.
Candidates seldom sue. 1t is supposed
to be bad form.
The labor press has had it's rea-
soned argument, it's pungent and
urgent messages. But it has pre-
ferred to remain clean and free
from the filth that has despoiled
so many daily pages.
AS for the columnists who have
"dished the dirt" it will be long
time before their alibis will overtake
their lapses.-C. M. w.

." Where with our
rec Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Now that it's all over it can be SAID
again-as it probably has been said at
least every four years-that politics
is about the dirtiest game in America
And not since the old days when
Conde Nast's cartoons threw conster-
nation into the vortex of presidential
campaign have we seen more despic-
able dirt than in the battle just closed.
This time the newspapers contrib
uted to the general smudge far more
than ever before
The newspapers ought to look back
with more than little shame upon
what they have done.
1t isn't the editorial columns that
have reeked most with the filth of gut
ter politics.
1t is the columnists' tripe that has
smelled up the printed page.
1t is during the last four years that
the columnists have become SO impor-
tant part of American journalism.
And at the top of the power they did
a nose-dive into the biggest pit of
dirt and calumny they could find.
y
1t is fair to wonder whether some
of the most blatant and arrogant of
the columnists can ever again have
quite the respect that they enjoyed be-
fore politics got the better of them.
Radio commentators are, by and
large, under a restraint that does not
apply to newspaper columnists. They
have to have some regard for decency
or get off the air. 1t seems that in
this respect the ethics of radio are
higher than the ethics of newspapers.
Of course, some newspapers have no
visible ethics and never had any. But
where there have been ethics the col
umnists have bowled them over as if
they didn't exist and had never been
heard of.
What happened to so many of the
columnists? Perhaps, therein lies the
material for good mystery thriller.
Maybe they got caught in spell of
their own weaving-thrilled by their
own adjectives.
Or perhaps, they sought to out-do
each other in villainy on the theory
that the loudest and most vindictive
would become most popular.
Perhaps, too, the columnists collect
lively had a hunch that the one that
could deliver the most striking dia-
tribe each day might be chosen to
enter the White House with the hoped
for victory, there to strut upon paper
throne, with a mud hook in lieu of
sword strapped to his belt.

ROOSEVELT VICTORY
IS HAILED BY LABOR;
PROGRESS FORESEEN

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = Re-
election of President Roosevelt and
election of other friends of labor to
Congress and local Offices throughout
the nation brought expressions of sat-
isfaction from labor executives here
and elsewhere.
"An analysis of the election reports
shows that the votes of labor proved
to be the deciding factor in pivotal
states," said William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
"Working men and women voted for
the reelection of the President be-
cause they believe he is their friend
and the champion of social justice and
economic freedom.
"I have wired Mr.. Roosevelt con-
graduating him upon his reelection
and extending my assurance of the
full cooperation of those | represent
in the promotion of national unity, in
the preservation of peace and in the
execution of the nations preparedness
program as speedily as possible"
New York Labor Pleased
Reelection of President Roosevelt
was hailed in the name of New York
workers by Thomas j. Lyons, presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor.
eve look forward" President Lyons
said, ito four more years of social
progress under Mr.. Roosevelt's able
leadership. John l.. Lewis and his
new-found anti-labor allies have found
their answer"
Labor in New York and throughout
the country was much pleased at the
reelection Of James M. Mead, as
United States Senator from New
York. Mead is nationally known as
a staunch advocate of labor's cause.
While a member of the House of Rep
resentatives he was an able champion
of the postal workers and did effective
work for legislation benefitting all
workers.
In 1918, Mead was elected to the
House and served continuously until
his election as Senator in 1888 to fill
the unexpired term of the late Royal
S. Copeland. He was nominated by
the Democratic and American Labor
parties in 1888, as he was this year
He defeated Representative Bruce
Barton this year, by plurality of
more than $4,000 votes.
LaFolIette is Victor
President Roosevelt's rather narrow
margin of victory in New York state
was furnished by the American Labor
party, whose candidate he was. The
Labor party polled 317,S46 votes for
the President in New York City. The
Labor party was also largely instru-
mental in Senator Mead's victory.
In Wisconsin, Senator Robert M.
LaFollette undoubtedly owed his re-
election to the support of all branches
of organized labor. He squeezed
through by about 10000 votes. His
defeat was at first reported.
Other u. S. Senators who were re-
elected with labor's backing included
David /. Walsh of Massachusetts, Hi
ram Johnson of California, Henrik
Shipstead of Minnesota, Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana, Joseph F. Guffy
of Pennsylvania, and Francis T. Ma
loney Of Connecticut.
