Somehow after reading the literature put out by the
National Association of Real Estate Boards, believe that
the landlords of this country themselves Sampson
bedeved every hand by the tenants who live in their
houses and their apartments.
It's true, the prices of food clothing automobiles furni
ture and everything else have gone sky high It's human
nature that the landlords should feel prosecuted because they
haven't been allowed to make much money others.
Let's look at the facts minute and if the landlords
are really being prosecuted as badly they feel.
Vacancies used to cost the landlords just about one

maintenance, if any is done
The latest available figures show that landlords the
than they had before the Apartment house landlords
are making about 2 per cent money; the landlords
owning smaller structures about 46 per cent more.
Granted there exceptions to these but the
control offices giving rent whenever and
wherever any landlord Justify such increase the

With food prices breathlessy high most family bud

that time comes, goods pile up in the stores plants shut
down, laid off.
That's what about Sampson. Any blanket in

Every limitation of the right to strike imposed by corpora

which must be obeyed unquestoningly.
In contrast British trade unonsts have held firmly

taken away by the British Trades Dispute Act of 1927
Moreover, the British have not abandoned the
right of government employees to strike In all the hula

elected to office each time many politicians who disregard
the interests of the working people and act virtual lob

Isl Why do the people vote contrary to their nterets?
How is it that the workers who comprise top-heavy
majority of the votngage population do not to the polls
and vote their enemies out of office and put real labor
friends into office In nation like the United States where
people read and write and where the records of

tiny it is difficult to understand how Congress like the
80th got into office
It is even incredible how outstanding
tionares keep coming back to Congress term after term
even winning majortes in districts heavily populated by
workingmen and women.
1t is sef-evident that labor which is planning
major political effort in 1913 to unseat its enemies and elect
it's friends will most certainly have to give serious
consideration to this basic question it expects its campaign
be effective In the past abors participation in politics
has sometimes worked almost in It's about time
that labor grew up politically.
In politics most every other field of human

it has the funds 1t win eectoons

ACCOUNTING TO WORKERS

peaceme production gets fully under and markets
become stable, business balance will depend upon
larger proportion of returns going into hands in
the forms of lower prices and higher earnings for producing
workers Collective bargaining is the only machinery that
will enable workers to get fair share of returns and the
proper share should be determined by making production and
financial records the basis for collective bargaining.
Wage-earners just much investors in business
stockholders and have right to accounting Such an
accounting is invasion of the rights of stockholders
management
On the other hand businessmen and investors cannot
be blind to worldwide defeatst trends toward socialism and
communism If American business wants to retain free enter
prise it justify it's stewardship to its employees well
its patrons Only such policies the records justify
will serve maintain free enterprise The practice of
counting workers is the first step in developing respon
sbity on both sides.

HIGH PRICES

of high prices?
More than month ago the Committee members started
out amid considerable fanfare to hold hearings in various
cities.
The Committee group headed by Sen Ralph E. Flanders
R, Vt) captured few newspaper headlines in New York
City and other places, and at time Sen Flanders was
led to observe that he planned to get to the bottom of who
responsible for high prices 1t ntimated that
before it he would name names.
