being awarded in fabulous quantities
to American industries. One of the
urgent reasons for resorting to cost
plus contracts again is to guarantee
American industry profit from ma
tional defense. Congress, without
question, anticipates that industry
will make fabulous profits from the
national defense program. II not,
why the excess profits tax?
Labor Must Await Contracts.
Is it un. American, is it unpatriotic,
is it destructive of democracy for
industry to be intensely interested
in profits out of national defense, to
be competing, one with the other
for these contracts? Apparently
not. Does labor have an opportunity
to negotiate for contracts directly
with the Government? Can labor
negotiate directly with the Govern
ment for profits from the national
defense program? The answer is no
Labor must wait until the contracts

is forced to compete for decent
wages, for a decent standard of liv-
ing. for decent working conditions
with the person or corporation to
whom the current contract is
awarded. Is the workers competi-
ton for decent wages. is their de-
mand for a decent standard Of living,
is their demand for decent working
conditions American, unpa triotic
or destructive of democracy to any
greater degree than the competition
of the industrislists? The only fair
and reasonable answer is no. But
the adverse publicity circulated from
one end ofthe Nation to the other in
our great newspapers would lead us
to believe that, in demanding de-

to demand . higher standard OF
living.
How would you describe the po-
litical status OF an American worker
who earned less than $500 . year,
with which he must provide, on the
average, for his wife and three chill
dren, but who was denied by law
the right to protect against thst IN
adequate wage, who was denied the
right to join with other American
workers in q protest against that
starvation wage, who was denied the
right to seek for his wife and chill
dren q higher standard Of living?
Would he be free American, this
worker earning less than $500 q year,
II you took away from him the right
to say effectively that it is indecent
and un-American of employers to
force him to work for such 4 wage?
What would happen to democracy
If you took away from one-third of
the 10000, 900 industrial workers the
right to say that $500 year will not
provide their families with the de-
cent living to which every American
who works is entitled?
Strike rs Last Resort.
Some people who publicly discuss
the subject seem to believe that q
strike is a holiday picnic for workers
Whoever has seen the misery and
suffering Of those who strike surely
must know that it is the last resort
of desperate men fighting for justice.
All OF US who defend labor wish that
there could never arise the need for
this most drastic act Of self-defense.

In Russia the right of workers to

Word Of the thieves work got
around rapidly, and help came
fast-from as far distant as

Heavily engaged on defense
work, the Majestic Tool and
Manufacturing Corporation and
the Central Machine Company
were invaded early Sunday by
thieves who stole several thou
sand dollars worth of microme-
tiers, gauges, and other instru-
ments.
A halt to production appeared
inevitable. Meanwhile, the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
started an inquiry to determine
if saboteurs were responsible.
Then the help started coming
in to grateful arrangements.

Killer Seeks
Death Penalty
He Still Moy Not
Be Eleetroeuted
eABER9EEN, S. D.. Aug. s.

oABERDEEN, S. D.. Aug. s.
R-South Dakota legal circles
buzzed today over the unique
case of q confessed slayer who
demanded the death penalty for
his crime and got it, but who
may not be electrocuted after
all as ordered.
This strange set of circum-
stances developed yester d a y
when Clifford Hayes, a 30-year.
old ex-convict, came into Circuit
Judge Babcock's court and
pleaded guilty to murder. He
conditioned his plea, however.
on being allowed to ask for the
death penalty.
Hayes, who has spent Is of
his 80 years in prison or COR
rectional institutions, said he
preferred death to q life behind
bars. He had been out of prison
only one day after serving eight
years for burglary when he shot
and killed Sheriff Melbourne
Lewis at Milbank last Wednes-
day, the crime for which he was
sentenced.
Needing Hayes desire, Judge
Babcock pronounced the sem
tence after hearing testimony.
and fixed the time for its execu-
ton as the week of Aug. Q, 1912.
The sentence marked the first
time the death penalty had been
imposed in this state in more
than Is years.
Whether the sentence will be
carried out depends on two
things Attorneys pointed out
that the governor has the power
under the law to commute the
sentence to life imprisonment
He also may delay execution by
granting Q reprieve in event he
wanted to investigate the case
with q view to considering COM
mutation.
Another possible bar to exc
cution Is the fact that the state
has no electric chair. When the
legislature reenacted the capital
punishment law in 1899 after Il
had been off the statute books
for - years. il failed to provide
money for IN electric chair.
Officials said. however, that
In the event Hayes sentence 10
carried out the state might ar.
range 70 borrow q chair from
some nearby state which has
capital punishment.
