One of the things you might try
while the rugs are up for the sum-
mer, providing you can find part
ner, is that spectacular spin per-
formed by st. Clair and Day, the
Shoreham's dancers. You'll have
to do it only in private, however,
because it's patented. Only ST.
Clair and Day may perform pub
licly their trick, where he spins,
lights a cigarette, while balancing
her on his shoulders. Ordinarily
such a dance routine could not be
patented, but if props" are involved
1t can be. Maurice st. Clair lights
the cigarette with an automatic
lighter. and that's prop" for all
the Patent Office cares. Legal as
poets of the dance are not those
which bother Gloria Days pretty
head, however. She ponderS more
thoroughly the problems of remain
ing on st. Clair'S shoulders as he
spins, the only thing keeping her
there being centrifugal force. She
has to arch her back neatly and
relax, but even then if anything
stopped her spinning partner she'd
go Whipping off through space. The
other night St Clair had to make
a quick grab for the cigarette light
er when it almost slipped from his
grasp. Gave Miss Day a bit of
start when she felt a shoulder go
out from under her. A girl in an
other dance team died with a broken
back a couple of months ago when
something went wrong with a SINH
lar trick and she was thrown against
post at the edge of the dance
floor. 1t is not one of the things
Miss Day likes to think about while
she is being spun.

LABOR CANNOT BUILD ON VIOLENCE

The trial of eleven defendants of the
International Fur Workers Union in New
York has been concluded with verdicts of
guilty. The men were charged with en-
ploying terrorism to control the labor field
of the fur industry.
The government sought to show that
the men, acting through the Needle Trades
Union, had restrained interstate commerce
and witnesses attributed to them acts of
terrorism, such as sluggings, raids on fur
establishments that had no contracts with
the union, damaging of stock, smashing of
windows and throwing of stencil bombs.
Evidently the jury, which had the case
before it for more than six weeks, con-
Guided that the defendants convicted were
guilty of such acts.
While we are thoroughly in accord
with the laws that give unions the right to
protect laborers and to represent them, we
do not see how any far-sighted labor lead
er can condone or uphold such terrorism.
The right to organize gives no right to slug
those who disagree about matters concern
ing labor. Certainly, in the long run, the
cause of organized labor cannot be helped
by tactics which are, in themselves, GRIM
inal.

THE WATER SITUATION

Conflicting reports are coming out of
the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commission to
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
for a loan of 100000 to cover part of
the cost of building a water system from
the mainland to supply the keys and Key
West. '--.s--'--..~~~--. b.
On the one hand dispatches to Miami
newspapers indicate the RFC has flatly
turned down the application for loan on
the ground that the Aqueduct Commission
has no legal authority to issue negotiable
bonds; on the other advices reaching The
Citizen are to the effect the RFC has ap-
proved the loan subject to valuation, pre-
sumably at the next session of the State
Legislature. In other words, RFC will adj
vance the money for the water system if
and when the Legislature acts to remove
any doubt as to the legality of the Aque-
the amount of the loan.
While hoping that the latter version
is true, The Citizen believes it entirely
possible for the RF'C to turn down the ap-
plication. In that case Monroe's hope for
a water supply, so vitality needed to insure
greater development and to serve the ma
tional defense system here, depends upon
the success of the effort being made by
Congressman A. Pat Cannon to have Con-
gress appropriate money to the Navy De-
partment to insure water supply along
the keys. Under that proposal the Navy
Department would build a supply system
primarily for the naval station here, but
would be enabled to sell the surplus to con-
sumers of Monroe County.
Certainly the present situation with
regard to the water project calls for some
action by our Chamber of Commerce and
other civic and commercial groups. They
should communicate at once with Con-
gresham Cannon and our United States
senators TO get back of his plan to have
the Navy Department build the system.
Then if the RFC does refuse to make the
water loan, the other plan will be ade-
Aquately supported and pushed through
Congress before it is too late to act this
+ Year So
The water project has been muddled
enough. For the love of Key West, let's
get back of the Cannon plan! Wishful
thinking won't bring water to Key West.

PER CAPITA AND REAL INCOME

Figures recently released by the De-
partment of Commerce indicate that the
per capita income of individuals in the
United States ~in-~1 amounted to-$515
for the nation as a whole. ~...ss~ -
II ii interesting to note that the aver
age per capita income moved from 1916
in 1888 to $515 in 1888, and that this
figure compares with $679 in 1929.
1t should not be forgotten, however,
that income, measured in dollars, does not
always represent the real income of in
dividuals. This depends upon the buying
power of the dollars received. If dollar
income moves upward but prices increase
faster, then an increase in dollar income
does not mean an increase in real income.
Likewise, if dollar income declines, but
prices drop faster, the real income or buy
ing power of the individual increases.
