NATIONS NO. | RECORD BREAKER

Blue Note Cafe, in Chicago,
where she excelled all predeces-
sors and even outdrew the rec
ord of the famous Louis (Satch-
mo- Armstrong and bulged over
the attendance mark of all other
attractions who previously blaz-
ed the trail and left behind the
tops of the top, figuratively
speaking.
simultaneously week at the
swank Tia Juana Club in Cleve-
land, Miss Holiday attracted the
largest crowds of ell time there,
surprising the record established
by the King Cole Trio and the
songstress Nellie Lutcher.
During her stay there, Miss
Holiday was in such great de-
mand and her services so highly
appreciated that she was given
the luxurious personal suite be-
longing to Miss Catherine Drake
owner OF the club, where she re-
sided during her stay.

Printers Union
Asks Negotiations
With Hearst Papers

CHICAGO Typographical
Union No. Is (AFL), in the ninth
month of its strike against the
newspapers of that city and
nearby Hammond, Ind, has APP
pealed directly to the manage
ment of the Hearst-owned
Chicago Herald-American to en-
ter into negotiations with a view
tC restoring normal operation of
the Herald-American'S compos-
ing room.
The Unions letter to the local
Hearst management points out
that amicable relations exist be-
tween Hearst newspapers and
ITU locals in many American
cities. The letter expresses hope
that similar relations can be re-
stored in Chicago.
The Chicago Newspaper Pub
fishers Association has refused
further meetings with the ITU
local. The association, which is
booked UP with the American
Newspaper Publishers ASsocia-
ton and the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, has a
rule requiring unanimous con-
sent of the member corporations
before any contract can be made
with a labor union. Since further
meetings with the association
seem to be out of the question,
officials Of the Typo local have
decided to ask the Hearst man
agement to sign a separate con-
tract which would terminate the
strike at the Herald-American
plant.
The Herald American has been
especially h ard hit by the
unions campaign against its cir
culation. Thousands Of union

On The Cape

| FALMOUTH HEIGHTS, Cape
Cod-Last weekend many out of
state visitors paid surprise visit
to Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Roberts at
La Casa Linda and were very
happy to learn of the location.
Guests and friends made up a
party of 20, hired a boat and went
deep sea fishing. All enjoyed a
glorious time under the beaming
sun. Each in the party came
ashore with five or more fish.
Arriving at the cottage the next
number was a wienie roast and
corn on the cob. Later in the eve
ming the party motored to the old
Indian Church where Mrs.
Roberts entertained with many
organ selections. Then the COM
pany continued the trip to Cohas-
set, Hyannis and Plymouth re-
turning to the cottage around l
o'clock Monday morning. If you
are planning happy and restful
vacation think Of La Casa Linda.

Only Poor Men Go TO Jail

The Municipal Court in Washington finds
a man named Putnam guilty of passing rub
Der checks and sentences him to $3.50 fine
or 780 days in Jail
Putnam seems to be a shady character,
and deserves no particular sympathy. but his
case again brings up an interesting question:
Does the common court practice OF offer
ing lawbreakers a choice Of money penalties
or prison produce equal justice between the
rich and the poor
The man with a fat bankroll can pay
the fine and go on his way rejoicing, but
the poor man must 60 to Jail.
If Putnam cannot pay, he must spend two
whole years behind bars. or one year for each
1925 of the fine. If he has money. he can
buy freedom for less than 81 a day.
In all such cases, the poor mans wife and
children are punished with him, by loss Of
the breadwinner while he is in jail, while the
rich mans family gets it's usual support.
Why not abolish the choice between
fines or prison? Why not make it Jail for
both rich and poor? Or scale the fines
according to the wealth or poverty of the
lawbreaker?

The National Association of Real Estate
Boards. one Of the most effective lobbies in
congress. recently issued a press release COM
planning bitterly about the injustice OF rent
controls.
The Association complains that the rent
control law "confiscates the equities" of land
lords, and then makes this remarkable state
ment:
1.-THE mere counting of noses to deter
mine what is right and what is wrong is
not American democracy, but q perversion
of it,"
We don't know where the association
picked up this strange doctrine, but it GER
tainly is as anti American as anything we
have ever heard.
This country was founded on the princi-
pie that the welfare of the people m
first and that the rights and privileges of the
select few must take a back seat when their
rights conflict with the public welfare.
That the real estate agents seek to put
their selfishness ahead of the public welfare
is. it seems to us, a direct admission that their
complaint is without any real merit.

More and more doors Of opportunity are
being closed to young people who lack a high
school education.
A recent evidence OF this trend is the an
nouncement By the United States Air Force
that il is now limiting draStically the number
of non-high school graduates it will enlist.
The high value that it puts on a high
school education is clear from the Air Force
announcement
High school graduates can better under
take technical training needed to fit men for
specialized careers in the USAF. From
a purely practical viewpoint. we want young
men to stay in school until after graduation
The same argument applies with equal
or perhaps even greater force to civilian pur-
suits. An increasingly large number OF job
opportunities are limited to high school grad
yates.
With modern industry demanding higher
and higher qualifications a Young man ought
to think a long time before he decides to
give up his diploma in favor of a job.

Fact That Miners Walked Out
For Pensions Is Significant

The fact that thousands of United Mine
Workers walked out in a dispute about pen
sions rather than about wages is important.
1t confirms what many students of industrial
relations have been saying-that issues other
than wage rates are extremely important in
the minds of workers and that both manage
ment and unions have been slow to recognize
this fact.
Peter F. Drucker, whose series Of three
articles in Harpers magazine has been re-
printed in pamphlet form as "The Way to In
dustrial Peace, says in that series:
Wage rates are rarely an important
cause of labor trouble in American industry,
except in a few areas of sub-standard wages,
such as in the Southern cotton textile indus
try before the war. Of course wage disputes
are genuine disputes in which the interests of
the employer and worker are in opposition
though even this opposition is more a result
of bad policies than inherent in the subject.
But wage disputes are most unlikely to be-
come conflicts or to lead to industrial war
fare unless there is bitterness and mutual dis
trust in the plant for some other and more
profound reason
The economic insecurity of the worker is
listed by Drucker as one "other and more pro-
found reason"
1t is to reduce this economic insecurity to
some extent by getting an old age pension
from the industry that the United Mine Work
ers walked out. Observers of the field of in
dustrial relations believe that there will be
more of this type of struggle.
