COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

munism behind it's iron curtain? Why
does it prevent it's own people from
learning of the freedom and higher
living standards which exist in other
lands?
"The tragedy of the Russian ex-
pertinent is that, although it started
with high idealism to benefit the work
ing people, it became ruthless die
tatorship where the people lost their
vote and their freedom. The small
group now in power seem more inter-
ested in building military might and
extending their control outside Rus
sia than in raising the living stand
ards of their own people"
The AFL points out that the Rus
sian people are kept in subjection
through the Communist party organ
ization which takes it's orders from
the top and through the NKVD secret
police.
NKVD agents, the federation says,
'can at any time enter a mans house,
seize him for alleged disloyalty and
send him to concentration camp
With between 100000 and II 100000
persons in concentration camps to-
day, every Russian knows what awaits
him if he offends the government and
lives in consequent fear. Yet the Soviet
spokesman call this system 'demOc-
racy'w
After showing that Russian work
ers generally have fewer rights and
much lower living standards than
workers in America, the AFL com
ments:
MANY observers believe that dis
satisfaction of the Russian people with
Communism at home accounts in part
for the Soviet policy of maintaining
huge army and driving to extend it's
power"

Soviet Russia appears to be kind

who speak very softly or not at all
when it comes to Red shenanigans.
Not so the American Federation of
Labor which has no hesitation in
branding Russian methods as aggres-

''The dream of world domination
did not die with the collapse of Nazism

warns, Communist Russia is now try

The AFL, in its monthly survey,
charges that in central European coun-
tries the presence of Soviet troops

power though they represent small

Discussing whether Communism

ARBITRATION FUMBLES
(From The Machinist)

The cause of arbitration has taken
a severe beating in the inequitable
awards handed down in the railway
wage movement case in Chicago re-
Gently.
Arbitration had it's chance to prove
to workers that they could get fair
and just awards through the regular
processes of collective bargaining and
through use of the machinery set up
under the Railway Labor Act. 1t had
its chance to prove that the workers
could obtain as much by peaceful
means as they could through strikes
and direct action on picket lines. 1t
fumbled the chance. The action in
Chicago will make labor in other fields
more wary than ever of moves to place
labor relations in industry under reg
ulations patterned after the Railway
Labor Act, when they see strike ac-
tion win concessions far beyond those
obtainable under such an act.
The labor members OF the arbitra-
tion board in the Chicago travesty
were forced into voting for the 16-
cent wage increase in order to get
any award. They condemned as great
injustice" the failure of the "neutrals"
to consider the inequities showns by
the evidence" and their basing the
award on a pattern" The action of
the neutral arbitrators, they added,
amounts to "a subversion of the judi
cial process"
eve are deeply convinced that no
greater disservice to the cause of
peaceful adjustment of industrial dis
putes could have been done," they de-
clared. They made it clear that this
experiment in voluntary arbitration
had proved failure, and that direct
and militant means would have to be
taken by the workers to get square

PROTECTING MINERS LIFE AND
HEALTH

That the mine worker faces hazard
of life and health unknown to the av-
erage industrial worker is a fact OF
which the great mass of Americans
are largely ignorant. Anyone would
consider a steel mill hazardous, but
government figures show that the
death and injury rates per million man
hours of work in steel mills is 9.9,
while in coal it is 1870. In other words,
the miners work is s times more
dangerous.
A weeks coal production costs the
lives of 33 men and injuries to 1928
others. But this is not all. Health
hazards also take an enormous yearly
toll. Diseases of the eye and skin, lung
diseases due to dust, inflammation of
the wrist, hand, knee and elbow are
prevalent, due to darkness, bad aid
and the cramped position in which a
miner must work. The mines are iso-
lated from hospital service and the
miners must depend on company doc
tors, who often testify against them in
compensation cases.
AS part of their negotiations, the
United Mine Workers are making two
thoroughly justifiable demands to
meet these problems: That operators
carry out the safety recommendations
of u. S. mine inspectors; and that a
health fund be set up, supported by a
10 cent royalty per ton of coal. British
miners have had such health fund
for 25 years. These are minimum re-
quirements to meet the terrible perils
of coal mining. They should be accept
ed without further delay.

ing the buck and pushing us into the
very abyss we must take great care to
avoid, what is it?
The United Mine Workers Journal
stated recently that "just like under
prohibition" the men in Washington
are the last ones to know what is hap
pening in America And then it goes
on to say:
Outside of Washington, people
know what's going on now. At long
last, Old Doc Gallop seems to be catch
ing on. The Docs polling organiza-
ton has gotten down to some door
bell ringing and questioning where
accurate results are possible. The re-
ports obtained, when summed up, show
that, exclusding farm families, the
average home was paying $11.50 per
week for food in 1912. 1t is paying SIT
per week now. According to the Gal
lup figures, cost of eating is up by
SO percent in years. We think that
the Gallup figures are low and that
75-percent increase is nearer the act
ual outlay-but Gallup is on the trail
and may get there eventually. And
as to clothing, the deterioration in
quality plus upping of prices average
increases from SO to 100 per cent.
eff that's not 'ruinous initiation,
what is it?"

Price May Bar Sale

Oxford, Ohio.-The high price set
by officials of the Oxford Golf Club
on their 60-acre plot of ground west
of town in all likelihood will prevent
its purchase by the federated clubs of
Oxford as Memorial Park to the vii
lagos war heroes.
Some owners of the land have de-
clared privately that they will con-
tribute a substantial share of the pro-
ceeds, if the federation buys the prop
erty, toward the drive for funds with
which to finance the purchase.

if you could trace every divorce to its
source, you would find that the first
break came when the husband and
wife found out that they had moth
ing in common.
Think over the mismated couples
you know-good, kind, upright peo-
pie who keep the letter of their mar
riage VOWS, but ignore its spirit, and
who make their homes places of tor
ment just because they are so diff
ferent in every characteristic. in
every thought and emotion, that
they cannot keep off of each others
nerves.
Recall the gay, warm-hearted, af-
fectionate girl you knew who mar
ried a frozen introvert who has
never said tender word to her, or
given her any indication that he re-
garded her as anything except a
household convenience. It has
turned her into a bitter, pessimistic
woman whose marriage is dust and
ashes in her teeth, and made him
wonder why he was ever foolish
enough to marry a woman with SO
little emotional control.
And if you will notice the thing
that husbands and wives invariably
object to most in their mates, you
will find that it is something they
don't like to do themselves. The
wife who is a rabid prohibitionist
raises ructions over her husband
wanting glass of beer with his
dinner. 1t is the woman who doesn't
like the outdoor sports who bewails
herself as a golf widow. 1t is the
men with stomach ulcers and the
grouches and the chimney sitters
who are always complaining about
their wives cooking and gadding.
You never hear peep out of those
who like to eat and step themselves.
OF course, there is the attraction
of opposites, which is scurvy trick
that Mother Nature, who cares only
for the good of the race and not
the happiness of the individual,
plays upon us. But this f1eeting
charm does not last. Congeniality
Is the real tie that binds husbands

Old?
By Josephine L0,cman

We always think of college girls
as leading charmed lives because
they are so young and carefree and
full of pep. This is happy time
but actually the girl in ge is
under quite a physical strain. The
director of physical education is
likely to know more about this than
the other teachers in the school
She instructs the girls in hygiene,
is told about their aches and pains,
and because of her association with
them in sports and play, she is a
natural friend and confidant.
According to several teachers with
whom I have talked, many college
girls suffer from fatigue and most
of them are carrying a heavy load
They must study seriously and they
are most interested and involved in
extra curricular activities such as
clubs, sports, hobbies and study
groups. Then, too, there is the
social life which Is so intriguing to
girls of this age. Besides this, many
young women today are working
part time in order to help finance
themselves through school.

ing girls carry this load. She has
given them questionnaires with such
questions as Does exercise help you
sleep better? Does it aid you ir

gratifying to a teacher of physical
education.
1t seems that the girl, herself, the
parents and the school, should guarc
against the danger of tensions anc
fatigue which too many activities
adjustments, and complexities may
bring about. Girls of this age art
still most susceptible to physica
lrepercussions and should have 6

Dorothy Dix Says

There is nothing of which I am
more firmly convinced than that
every successful marriage is built on
rockbottom of congeniality. Let a
man and a woman have the same
tastes and habits and enjoy the
same things. Let them see eye to
eye about how to bring up children
and make coffee. Let them find
each others society as soothing as a
hot faxseed poultice, and all the
/ winds of adversely may huff and
puff around them without blowing
down their house of happiness.
But no one can picture happy
home in which the husband and the
wife are always in each others hair
and where every word is fighting
word. Such couple may have all
of the domestic virtues and deep
down in their hearts they may have
an affection for each other, but they
never have good times together be-
cause they never react the same way
to any situation. Antagonistic dis
positions no more blend harmo-
niously than Oil and water.
Unrecognized Incompatability.
All of this being true, and it being
a matter of common knowledge that
the friends we enjoy most, and even
the casual acquaintance whose So
ciety we cultivate, are those who
yes-yes us instead of those who start
an argument over every subject that
is broached, it is strange that we
do not put congeniality at the top
of the list of qualities that we desire
in our mates.
But We don't. Boys and girls are
caught by the lure of pretty face
or new line, or charming person.
atty And they never stop to notice
that they disagree on every subject
from politics to pie, and that in
everything they do one or the other
has to make a sacrifice. Or they be-
fool themselves into believing that
they can iron out all of these diff
ferences in temperament after mar
riage.
Yet the lack of congeniality wrecks
far more marriages than does drink

ADVICE TO MOTHER.
(From Mrs. v. L. B., Rockville, Nd J
To Mrs. A. R. r.: Please don t
expect any sympathy from me. You
have more potential joy at your
finger tips than the average woman
and what are you doing with it?
First of all, get rid of that
martyr complex by analyzing your
situation. Is there any one in the
world you would trade places with?
Haven't you got the finest husband
and grandest children of any one?
You have decent place to live
and plenty to eat. You are really
pretty lucky, aren't you?
You are certainly not alone in
feeling blue at times. We all do
but it can be habit forming unless
you are careful. Children are a
great deal of work, but they are
such fun if you give them chance
to be. You are cheating yourself if
you do not consider bathing them
and feeding them and all the actual
care of the children themselves as
fun instead of work. You can make
it fun if you relax and make them
happy and cheerful.
AS far as your real work is con-
cerned, take an evening or two to
figure out just where you can cut
that to a minimum. Pretty oil-cloth
that can remain on your dining
room table except for real parties is
