JOBS FOR ALL AT GOOD PAY, WATSON PLEA Senator Amplifies Views on 5-Day Week and Right to Work. DENIES HE IS RADICAL Steady Employment With No Wage Cuts Seen as Nation’s Need. BY EDWARD J. MEEMAN “Every man under the flag is entitled to a job. Government fails and falls unless all men have equal opportunity to work. “The five-day week without reduction of wages must become universal and permanent in America to prevent future business depression and resulting unemployment.” In these words Senator James E. Watson, Republican leader in the upper house, in an interview with the Scripps-Howard newspapers today, reiterated and amplified the views which startled Indiana audiences last week. The veteran senator smilingly denied that in uttering these principles be was breaking with his own record which has earned him the appellation of “reactionary."’ Men Must Have Work “I merely am carrying my theories of government to their logical conclusion,” he asserted. "Our theory of equality becomes a mockery unless all men have equal opportunity to work. Idle men will give ear to Communist agitators; men with high wages and property ■won’t. . , f “We ‘reactionaries’ must see to it that no man willing to work is denied the opportunity, if we want to preserve the form of governme we believe in. “I believe that fear in the minds of business men, nervously watching the stock market, is delaying our recovery from the present depresl“But when we recover from this depression, what then? There will be a great army of unemployed under the best of conditions unless we shorten working hours. ••Within the last six years the rapid improvement of machinery has displaced two mfllion men. The theory has been that those dis placed would go somewhere eto£ But the displaced eventually have no place to go for the substitution of machinery for men takes place everywhere.

Must Be Equal ‘ The theory of our government Is the equality of men. The declaration says that all men are created equal. We go beyond that. We say that men must be equal. Every man must be in position to maintain the equality our government gives him. That means the practical thing of wages. Every man must be paid enough wages to own his own home. He must have the conveniences, even the luxuries, which he should have to live under a government devoted to equality. “It is unthinkable that great numbers of Americans should belong to a suppressed class, and be unable to hold their own in the nation. Therefore, in shortening hours to prevent overproduction, we can not lower wages. In establishing the flve-day week, wages must remain the same as for six days. “It has been said that people are not. ready to use this extra day of leisure profitably. It is said that they would use it in pleasure seeking rather than in self-improvement. But what if some workingmen do waste or abuse their leisure? Barren Ground for Reds “I rather would see thirty million men idle one day a week than two million men idle seven days a week. The workingman who is idle one day a week may go to some personal excess, but the two million men who are idle all the time will give ear to the Communist agitator. “The man who is employed, and is earning enough to clothe and educate his children, drive a car, have a radio, and go to the movies can not be appealed to by the Red who wants a new' economic system. For that reason alone we ‘reactionaries’ should see that all are so employed. Senator Watson was asked if he had acquired these view's recently. “No. they are the result of a lifetime study of economics, and they grow' naturaky out of my conservative theories," he said. No Legislation Planned Watson was asked whether he contemplated any legislation to carry out his Meas. He said he did not; but he would continue to use his position in public life to bring these views to the attention of industrial leaders whose problem it is. He reiterated his position that the Smoot-Hawley tariff protects a high-wage system and asserted that, though radicals would disagree with him, his tariff views were not inconsistent with his proposal of the the five-day week.

A TIGHT SQUEEZE

Smoke-Dizzy Parrot Is Saved

>

TF “Dickie’s” voice was a bit cracked this morning as he sang “Rock-a-Bye, Baby, in the Tree Top,” it may have been because a burly fireman’s fingers a few hours earlier had encompassed his bright plumage and squeezed smoke from his lungs through his yellow beak. For Dickie waS “pretty groggy,” City Fireman Jimmy Guinan narrated. when Guinan and his mates from Pumper Company 27 invaded the smoke-filled kitchen of the home of Mrs. Hattie E. Morrill, 65, at 939 North Gray street, at 4 a. m. today. Mrs. Morrill and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Morrill, had fled the home in their night clothing when fire from an overheated furnace licked the walls. Dickie, the Morrills’ pet parrot for thirty years, had given no warning. At least, none was heard. To his owners’ entreaties, Guinan dashed into the kitchen to remove Dickie from his prone position in his cage. “I squeezed him, and the smoke came out,” said Guinan describing artificial respiration as applied to a bird. “I let his lungs fill up; then I squeezed him again. There wasn’t much smoke. Soon he was all right.” In the fire, one canary perished, another was saved and SSOO damage was inflicted to the house.

Municipal authorities and citizens in numerous localities today were moving forward with various plans to avert the pinch of winter hardship. Minneapolis embarked on a mil-lion-dollar program which it was hoped would provide work for 12,000. Boston endeavored to raise a budget of $3,000,000, two-thirds of which was to be raised by popular subscription, to relieve idleness. Philadelphia and Muskegon, Mich., launched “buy now” drives, expected to speed up business and industry generally.

Scarface AI Capone’s chief rival for the spoil* of crime in Chicago’s underworld, was arrested and sent to jail todas as a common vagrant.

Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter. Colonel A. V. Smith, state’s attorney of Lake county, swept aside technicalities and prepared to surrender Moran to Patrick Roche* chief investigator for the Coolc county state's attorney. Found Fast Asleep Moran's arrest in an Antioch resort by Colonel Smith’s private investigators occurred as a result of his ambition to return to Illinois, and attempt to regain some of the power he once exerted in gang affairs.
