MONDAY. MARCH 26. 1934. A STRIKE AVERTED ' V A HE nation will breathe easier now that the automobile strike has been avoided. Heroic efforts of the President and General Johnson speak for themselves. As for the employers and union representatives, the White House is authority for the statement that both groups co-operated in a good public spirit. During the tense days of negotiations the public had time to realize the cost of this dispute unless settled. Not only would it have crippled a major industry and brought suffering to the large number of strikers and their families, but it also would have slowed down the national recovery procession, in which this industry has been one of the leaders. Hence the joy today on all sides. Doubtless that joy colors in part the extreme words used by the President in describing the terms of the settlement. He calls it “a pioneer effort in human engineering on a basis never before attempted,” and adds, “We have set forth a basis on w'hich for the first time in any large industry, a more comprehensive, a more adequate and a more equitable system of industrial relations may be built than ever before.” Since the specific settlement provides a much more limited form of collective bargaining and union recognition than is common in most organized industries, and since it contains the so-called merit clause not included in the law or in most NRA codes, the assumption is that the President gathered from his conferences with the employers that they are willing to go much farther than the letter of the settlement. Both sides agree to accept as final the decisions of a board of three, with a neutral chairman, on questions of representation, discharge and discrimination. But that board lacks the wider powers of the national labor board, which it supplants in this industry. Specifically there is no provision for supervised secret elections to determine representation. Nor are there any provisions, through the board of three or otherwise, for adjudication of contracts regarding hours, wages and other familiar clauses of labor disputes—despite the fact that the automobile workers already openly plan increased wage demands. These provisions are, of course, common to most industries having collective bargaining. Viewed, therefore, as a limited unsigned pledge, this settlement does not carry complete assurance of peace in the automobile industry. Nevertheless, it is a big step forward for an industry which hitherto has had no form of effective collective bargaining. In a situation of this kind in which face-saving for both sides is inevitable in any. compromise agreement, the spirit behind the settlement can become much more important for good or ill than the letter. Peace and prosperity in the automotive industry will depend on the co-operation and intelligence of the employers and the organized w’orkers in dealing with all of the disputes which arise. It is a happy omen that the President in these negotiations has found both sides imbued with that spirit. If they continue to co-operate intelligently in the coming negotiations they and the public will be spared the calamity of strikes and lockouts.

“ECONOMIC FREEDOM” my part,” Ogden L. Mills told the -T Academy of Political Science, “I am prepared to cast my lot with the policy of what, for want of a better term, I may call economic freedom, as contrasted with the rigidity of a controlled and regimented economy.” For Mr. Mills, millionaire and country gentleman, “economic freedom” as America knows it has not been harsh. Yet it gave to millions of Mr. Mills’ fellow-Americans unearned misery. It allowed between 2.000,000 and 3.000.000 people to go jobless even at “prosperity’s” height. It condemned threefourths of American workmen to live below a decent comfort standard. It granted an average factory wage of 51.300 and a farm income of S7OO a year. It left a trail of city and rural slums. It permitted 2,000,000 children under 17 to work for wages. It spread a blight of farm tenantry, business failures, mortgage foreclosures, and offered its victims charity or poor farms. It tolerated a criminal waste of natural resources, the overexpansion of capital good, giant stock swindles, the destruction of foreign trade. It brought on the nation’s worst depression. This kind of “economic freedom” eventually would wipe out Mr. Mills’ own social caste. Economic freedom for the mass of Americans can come only through controlled economy. And Americans generally have decided to cast their lot with that policy. That is the secret of much of the Roosevelt popularity which seems so mysterious to Mr. Mills and the other G. O. P. leaders. THE GERMAN WAR PROPHET GERMANY has bad luck with her propaganda. She is preparing for a war of revenge. That involves military propaganda at home. But she wants the world to think she is peacefully inclined. So that necessitates a different kind of propaganda abroad. Unfortunately for her, however, she can not keep the two separate. Her home military propaganda constantly is leaking outside. As a result, her neighbors are able to convict her rather thoroughly with words out of her own mouth. That was so in the case of Bernhardt’s writings before the great war. It is true toof the bloodthirsty book by Herr Hitler. Knpwmg this danger, Hitler, in preparing the foreign edition of his book, edited out some of the most provocative passages. But the German government has been even less successful in counteracting the ior-

eign reaction to the militaristic blast of Professor Ewald Banse, the arch-priest of Nazi war aims. When an English publisher got hold of Banse’s book, the Berlin government promptly denounced it as the work of an irresponsible theorist. It is reported, however, the government still employs Banse as professor of military science at Brunswick Technical college. And the Nazis still accept him as a leader in his field. An American edition has just been published by Harcourt Braco under the title “Germany Prepares for War.” The book is diplomatic dynamite because Banse is so frank. He says Germany is not only going to regain the territory lost in the great war but much more besides; she intends to take generous slices from most of her neighbors. As for England, he confesses “it gives us pleasure to meditate on <her) destruction.” Apart from his extreme candor in naming names* Eanse writes more or less like any European, Japanese or American militarist. For instance: “Preparation for future wars must not stop at the creation, equipment and training of an efficient army, but must go on to train the minds of the whole people for the war and must employ all the resources of science to master the conditions governing the war itself and the possibility of endurance.” Stating that Germany now has rejected “the poison of internationalism and pacifism,” Banse, as the prophet of Nazi imperialism, concludes that it has two missions: “(1) To summon up the soul'of Germany from the depths to perform its national, cultural and political task, so that on German soil all thought, all action and all speech shall be German; and (2) to combine German territory throughout its whole extent into a unified and therefore powerful state, whose boundaries will be far wider than those of 1914. Those are the two goals for which every German must strive.” AGE AND YOUTH YOU would think that suicide would be the refuge of old and beaten men—people tired by life, discouraged, brought to the end of the tether by disappointment and hard luck, facing a future that could not possibly hold for them anything to compare with their dreams. But somehow it doesn’t always work out that way. Youth can grow as despondent as age, sometimes. Only the other day a young student in a middle western university gave way to the worries about his studies and took his life. And it makes one wish that it were easier for an older person to go to one of these worried and discouraged youngsters and explain that the difficulties of youth are never quite as big and overpowering as they seem. A lad’s career isn’t hopelessly ruined because he fails to master the intricacies, say, of analytical geometry; failure in a college course usually becomes one of those things at which a mature man looks with nothing more than a rueful smile. Yet there is a barrier between youth and maturity which the best of advice all too often is quite unable to span. We who are older have had our defeats, and we have accepted them. We have gone with our feet shod in light, only to discover that kind of footgear isn’t suitable for tramping through mire and brambles. Youth has all that to learn; and because it has, it has a way of refusing to listen to us when w r e try to explain that those catastrophes of the late ’teens and early twenties are never quite as bad as they seem. For each young man is buoyed up by the conviction that he is different. Other men have dreamed dreams and seen them dissolve; he is something special, his dreams will be realized, his battles will be victories. It is because youth believes this that it is always willing to die on battle fields, or on barricades, to lead lost causes, to tackle a smudged and time-stained world with bright confidence. Then, sooner or later, the youngster has to find out that it isn’t so. And there is where our wisest and most sympathetic counsel is needed. If we can give it, and get it listened to, we can save a youngster from black despair. Sometimes we can’t; and then, if luck is bad, we have that most pathetic of all tragedies—the suicide of a young man.

PENALTY AND POVERTY /~VNE reads with a certain sardonic interest that Martin Insull, one-time Chicago utilities magnate, went on a hunger strike shortly after he had been locked in jail at Toronto, where he was being held for extradition to the United States. The food, it seems, wasn’t quite up to a utilities magnate’s standards. For breakfast there was porridge, butterless bread and sugarless tea; for dinner there was stew and cold water; for supper, rice, bread and tea. All this is rather plain fare, especially for a man used to the best food that money can buy. It is hard to blame a man for refusing to eat it; and doubtless it is only human perversity that reminds one that it might seem like a feast to some luckless old person who invested, and lost, all his life’s savings in Insull securities. STILL MENACING TN declaring that the underworld today has A more men under arms than the United States army and navy combined, AttorneyGeneral Homer Cummings gives us a striking illustration of the extent of the menace presented by our metropolitan gangs. A fair-minded observer probably would admit that the situation today is better than it was, say, five years ago, when A1 Capone was in his hey-day and It was almost an unheard-of thing for a prominent gangster actually to be sent to prison. Nevertheless, the challenge to organized society which gangland presents has by no means been met fully. The underworld still supports a larger armed force than the federal government itself supports. That simple statement shows graphically how much remains to be done. It cost S7O each for the CWA to get rid of some rats in Brooklyn, N. Y. They must have used a rare imported cheese. “Never again!” says Aimee Semple Mc-Pherson-Hutton, about marrying. She’d better guard against kidnaping, too.

HEALTH AND WEALTH D EPEAL’S promise of better and cheaper AN. alcoholic beverages now should be re-* fleeted in vital and revenue statistics. It is beginning to make good its promise. The New York state board of health reports that for January the death rate from alcoholism was 3.1 for each 100,000 of population, the lowest figure in twelve years. In New York City twenty-seven persons died of alcoholism in January and nineteen in February, compared with sixty-five in December. These figures, indicating that New Yorkers art drinking less or better liquor, should interest the twenty-two dry states still clinging to the fiction that prohibition prohibits. Internal revenue collections for February show how some money is being diverted into the United States treasury vaults rather than into bootleggers’ pockets. Distilled spirits taxes brought in nearly $12,000,000, wines and brandy nearly SBOO,OOO, beer more than $9,000,000. These taxes, however, fall short by about onethird of treasury estimates. We t believe that import, federal and local taxes on liquor still are too high to retire the bootlegger from his illicit trade. LET US TALK PEACE TF we would do less talking about war with A Japan we would be a whole lot less likely to get into such a war. So said the Rev. Ignatius W. Cox of Fordham university, in a speech at a recent Lenten conference in New York. “It is time,” says Father Cox, "to develop an irresistible will for peace and to make this will so evident now that our statesmen and diplomats will unmistakably understand that the American people demand a solution of international misunderstandings not by the bai baric weapons of war, but by measures dictated by right reasons, by natural and International law and arbitration.” There is a good deal of sound sense in that. We have discussed this war with Japan so long that we are about ready to accept it as inevitable. It might be helpful if we start discussing our opposition to it. The empei or of Manchoukuo is “answerable only to heaven,” but since he’s married we 11 bet he can’t stay out late at night without bringing home a pretty good excuse. For all Greece has done about Insull, the United States would still be glad to return all its wrestlers on demand. A Columbia professor prefers “America the Beautiful” as our national anthem. But not before all the highway posters are taken down. A Harvard professor says America’s contributions to civilization have been dentists, piumbers, and collar buttons. And what about chewing gum, subway guards, and traffic lights?

Liberal Viewpoint ~By DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES ==

r T HE real test of the new deal will come U A when it is translated from the realm of a benevolent dream to a hard, practical reality which jabs the pocketbook nerve of selfish industrialists who have learned nothing from the depression. Especially will this be true of the labor clauses of the NRA which strike at the unbelievably stupid and antiquated opposition of American employers to collective bargaining and reasonable wages. Already, there has been an outbreak of violence in the labor field unprecedented in recent years. In a survey of conditions attending the relations between workers and employers under the new deal, the American Civil Liberties Union sets forth the following startling facts: “At no time has there been such widespread violation of workers’ rights by injunction, troops, private police, deputy sheriffs, labor spies and vigilantes. “More than fifteen strikers have been killed, two hundred injured, and hundreds arrested since July 1. More than forty injunctions of sweeping character have been issued against miners, agricultural workers, bakery workers, shoe and leather workers, food workers and hotel workers (this in spite of the Norris anti-injunc-tion law). “Troops have been called out in half a dozen strike districts. Criminal syndicalist charges again are being used against active strike leaders. , The national labor board and its regional boards have lacked the will or the power to overcome the defiance of employers. Only where labor has been well organized and has struck with determination have its rights been respected.” tt tt tt IN executing violence agianst laborers in the past, the most effective instrument utilized by employers has been private detectives and private police. The most notorious example of this abuse has been the system of coal and iron police in Pennsylvania recently suspended by Governor Pinchot. Therefore, we may welcome as especially timely and relevant the thorough study of private police in Pennsylvania by Dr. J. P. Shalloo of the University of Pennsylvania (Academy of Political and Social Science, Philadelphia, $2), The notorious coal and iron police were brought into existence as the result of an act passed on February 2, 1865. They were first introduced into the anthracite district and later into the bituminous fields. Incredible as it may seem, the state commissioned' these officers and then turned them over to private employers to be used at the discretion of the latter subject only to prosecution for murder and assault. It proved extremely difficult to convict them when so charged. “During the nineteenth century a veritable private army was created by the state and given the supreme police authority of the state without determining definitely the necessity therefor, its duties or functions, or even whether the names submitted were not in reality those of criminals.” tt tt tt npHE result was. very literally, the creation of A a feudal domain in every company town in the state of Pennsylvania. It was a law unto itself and order was maintained by private soldiers under a system of localism approved by the state. Under such conditions it is not surprising that a veritable reign of terror was maintained in company towns in times of industrial dis* order. The coal and Iron police were given to shooting indiscriminately into crowds, frequently firing into school houses attended by miners’ children. Another favorite recreation was to drive heavy motor trucks rapidly through the streets, scattering the workers and their families and crushing those who failed to escape in time. The conditions during the famous strike of 1928 were thus described by a senatorial investigating committee, composed of Senators Gooding. Pine, Metcalf, Wheeler and Wagners “Mrs. Englert told the story of the iron and coal police shooting into a group of school children in which two of her children were coming home from school. The brutality of the coal and iron police shocked every member of the committee. “Everywhere your committee visited they found victims of the coal and iron police who had been beaten up and were still carrying scars on their faces and heads from the rough treatment they have received,”

Limit them to 250 words or less.) tt a tt UNEMPLOYED GIVE REASON FOR BIRTH CONTROL By W. P. For the benefit of the inquisitive gentleman, Hiram Lackey, who writes in The Times of March 20, may I submit my opinion on birth control? Where and what I was before my conception is of no consequence to me. That immortality is my lot, I can understand in a vague, unorthodox sort of way. What concerns me most is my own relation to the millions of unemployed who, denied the privilege of honest toil, are obviously an overproduction. Prate, if you will, of our divine mission to multiply and replenish the earth. Boast, asininely, of our dominion over the other forms of animal life. Deep down in our hearts is the conscious shame that until we arrive at a more equitable distribution of earth’s products, we shall have to practice some safe and sane method for the curtailment of human production. Who would rear his child to be a pauper? tt tt tt AUTO MAKERS DON’T TAKE A CHANCE By C. S. G. It wouldn’t hurt the automobile corporations to tell the truth to the people—who have to pay the cost of the propaganda when they buy autos about the government and the American Federation of Labor whom they charge with trying to force unionization of the industry down their throats. The full page ads in local newspapers, signed by the Automobile Chamber of Commerce, took care not to mention the only issue at stake in the matter, viz: Shall the workers under the law have the right to determine who shall represent them in all negotiations with employers? Simple, isn’t it? Yet the auto industry fairly pawed the ground because “labor unions” were trying to swallow the industry, boots and breeches, The government sought to' conduct an election at the various plants to determine who shall represent the workers as provided for under section 7 (a), of the recovery act. The elections were to be supervised by a governmental agency and every worker to have free choice in voting without fear of losing his job. Did the auto makers agree? Well, just listen to the whining over the radio and read the full page ballyhoo in the newspapers and get the answer. The charges made in some newspapers that the government was trying to force some particular union on the industry is wholly false. Workers, however, have the right to choose their own bargaining representatives, whether trade union or company union. The auto makers are not sporting enough to take a chance. tt tt PREPAREDNESS IS ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS By Henry P. Comingore The narrow-minded person who signs his name as “Man” must be ashamed of Ins name or is afraid that someone will uncover his record during the war. If he is not ashamed then what else could he be worried about? He should have signed it “man (?)” He evidently is not very well versed on the topics of the hour so I will try to enlighten him as to the stand of the American Legion as to the bonus. The legion did not even ask for payment of the bonus at this time as the condition of the finances of the nation would not permit the payment of it. The legion is trying to get the pensions of the disabled veterans back as they are more deserving than the

THE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR!

Demands NRA Enforcement

By a Times Reader I am a reader of The Times, and would like to see this printed. The Message Center is all right. The -worker has a right to voice some of the truth. It is hurting the man with money. The NRA is a fine thing, but should be enforced. It will be the only means of putting people to work at better wages. If they are not investigated they will have the people here working for nothing, with barely enough to keep the wolf from the door. They put the blue eagle up and hide behind it; cut your wages, and work your longer hours. The business man’s idea is to get out of debt and let the worker pay

rest of the able-bodied men who served. The American Legion is not nor are any of its members un-American when they differ with Dr. Oxnam of De Pauw. If asking that the nation prepare for another war by teaching college and high school military tactics and building a large enough army and navy to protect the nation is un-American thank God that I belong to so great an organization as the American Legion. Yes, God in his heaven surely must look down and pity a man who does not know that preparedness is the only preventive that we have in this world or the next. So if you would live, prepare for peace as you would to meet your maker as all God-loving and fearing people should. a tt tt WHY NOT RUN JOHN FOR GOVERNOR? By a V oice of the Multitude Freedom of the press, and free speech, seem to enjoy rightful places in the columns of The Times. Such fairness, and such a broadminded attitude toward contributions to the Message Center, prompts the writer in behalf of friends to submit the following: \ “Dillinger for Governor.” Quite a shock to start with, isn’t it? It’s fantastic, and maybe a little too strong, but it exemplifies the thoughts of thousands, in their determination to voice opinion on today’s leading topic, the escape of John Dillinger. It is true that Dillinger never will run for Governor, but is it not true, had he a chance to be a free man, a chance to become a lawful citizen, a chance to be a free spirited man to breathe the ozone without dodging a badge at every turn, a chance to use his brain for the good of the people, that he would make a much better Governor than many in the past? He has proved he knows how to Use his head, and to use that head for something good for the people would be something unusual which the people of Indiana have not enjoyed from politicians for a long time. Press items from time to time, practically prove Dillinger’s criminal career was caused by not having the proper chance and by the overzealous attitude of the authorities to put someone behind the bars, and throw bouquets at themselves. We do not uphold Dillinger, politicians or any one in a criminal career, but we do +>elieve a man of Mr. J, D.’s makeup would make a useful citizen if given a chance to go clean, and not via the parole route. The recent photograph of the prosecutor at “Clown Point” with Dillinger was one of much affection and respect for his captive. He did not want John to be mad with him, in the event he did escape. And we believe that the “Little Woman” of Wooden Gun, Ind., should be admired for keeping John behind the bars as long as she did. Had he been in the custody of some of our other strongarm, hemen sheriffs, John would have fled

for it. Does he cut his wages? No. Where are Indiana’s NRA investigators? It is time they were getting busy in Shelbyville. Not all firms here are like that, but some are, and they should be looked after. The CWA worker is better off than the fellow who slaves every day for a small salary. If he quits, where will he work? His employer knows this. That is why he cuts his wages. He knows he can’t squawk. Pride keeps him there instead of on the county. Now, NRA investigators, get busy. What are your duties? This is the truth. lam a slave worker. I don’t ask for wages so as to bank $3 or $4 a week. I just want living wages.

long before he did. When there is a woman in the case, it always causes one to linger longer. a tt a HERE’S A BOOST FOR THE STOCK EXCHANGE By a Times Reader Reading your editorial of March 17 entitled “Stock Control Threatened,” do you stop to think there are thousands of people with five to twenty-five thousand dollars in cash who are depending on the Tuckers of the New York Stock Exchange to put ujj their daily bread in 1934? You can visit any stock broker’s office and see old men, old women, widows, cripples, etc., all depending on a “bull market” to give them the necessities of life. And they need it. Who gives a damn about the boobs who lose? The wise people pick out the good stocks and cash in for a profit. Life is a gamble if you shoot dice, play poker, or buy lottery tickets. The wise win—the boobs go to the poor farm! So there shouldn't be any regulation of the New York Stock Exchange' in 1934. Let the lucky cash in—and the unlucky keep their money in their pockets. a a a “LIFE OF OUR LORD” PRAISED BY PROFESSOR By Prof. O. F. Hall, Purdue May I add my word of appreciation of running on your front page Dickens’ “Life of Our Lord.” You are doing much to counteract the feeling that newspapers do not try to elevate the general current of ideas and ideals. tt tt tt A. F. OF L. DOESN’T WANT TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS By Tom Berlins Arthur Brisbane recently criticised the A. F. of L. for refusing to recognize the right of the owners of the automobile business to run their own business. Brisbane says “The A. F. of L. feels that it could run the automobile business better than the present management is doing but the automobile makers do not agree with that.” This statement is not true in the sense that the A. F. of L. wishes to run any man’s business. It is a replica of the typical evasion of the manufacturers in their effort to muddy the waters of reason to hide the real truth or a decided failure on their part to understand the basic needs, wants and complaints of their employes. The executive class of men, whether they represent labor unions, automobile makers, chambers of commerce, manufacturers, associations or newspapers have, in my opinion, one outstanding trait of character which explains their suceess. They seldom are entirely right and never altogether wrong. The average working man understands that he never will get rich on hourly wages and also that he can’t eat the constitution. He only asks that his wage afford him some opportunity, on his journey from the

cradle to the cemetery, to provide the necessities of life and have some pleasure on the way. The business man on the other hand gets as much pleasure chasing the elusive dollars as the hunter in pursuit of the nimble bunny. Why then evade the truth? Labor wants the money to provide for the necessities of life and the pleasure of spending the surplus. Some of us derive the greatest pleasure in spending it before we lose it and the rest of us like to save it up and spend it all at once. But it is my opinion that the bank hardly misses the pay roll money. Most of it is back in the bank by Monday morning. Capital wants the money as a reward for achievement and the pleasure of the chase. So to those mighty and mysterious individuals known as capitalists I would give honest advice. Give the worker the pleasure of spending a surplus and you will get not only the pleasures of the chase from your business but the substantial reward of achievement. Deny the worker the pleasure of a surplus to spend and your business will give only the doubtful pleasure of the chase. And by the way did you ever go home with an empty game bag and a lot of alibis? tt tt a THE TIMES IS LAUDED AGAIN By Harold Fey I have been greatly enjoying The Times lately. The Dickens feature, The Life of Our Lord,” is certainly a memorable achievement of journalism. Your editorial page is far and away the best thing of the kind in this Dart of the country. And while I am in the act of cheering, let me put in a whoop or two for Berg’s cartoons. That one of Samuel Insull standing and looking out across the lonely waves toward what was once his home was a classic. tt tt tt SHE WANTS DICKENS STORY IN BOOK FORM ly Mrs. B. H. Willard I want to express my appreciation of “The Life of Our Lord,” recently published in your paper. It solves my problem of finding the story of Jesus’ life in simple statements easily understood by children. Dickens tells it in an ideal way. I hope it appears next in book form. B tt tt SMOKE SITUATION IS UNDER ATTACK By a Reader I remember that some time back your paper called attention to the “smoke and soot” of this city, and that now there has been a committee appointed to investigate. I really believe that this is one j of the dirtiest towns in the country j per population and no doubt there are plenty of ways to remedy it, such as proper screening of the stacks, also the use of a better grade of coal. Your paper will keep right after it until the situation is remedied.
