THURSDAY. MAY 3. 1834. LABOR S OPPORTUNITY COMPLETE unionization of industry should result from the national recovery act, in the Judgment of General Hugh Johnson. He gave this as his personal opinion last night at a meeting in Washington of trade association officers and delegates to the United States Chamber of Commerce. But, he was careful to explain, unions were not being imposed on industry by the NRA. The law permits industry to organize arid labor to organize. The Job of NRA, under the law, is not to organize labor, but to protect labor in its right to unionize if, when, and as it desires. As to the kind of organization. General Johnson said he personally thought the Industrial form of union in the bituminous coal business was the most effective goal. But that again was a matter for labor to decide for itself. Fair enough! Anti-union employers who try to stand out against the law, and against the public sentiment behind the law, face defeat. But, equally, union advocates who expect the government to do their job for them will continue to be disappointed. Asa matter of fact, the worst thing that could happen to labor itself would be enforced unionization by the government. However disguised, that would mean in effect Fascist unions which labor should shun as the plague. Labor’s enemy today is not the government, which is too wise to create governmentdominated unions. Labor’s chief enemy is not even the company-dominated union, for that type of union contains its own seeds of destruction and probably will be outlawed more effectively anyway by the administration’s Wagner bill. Labor's worst enemy is within. Internal weaknesses such as lethargy, such as seeing only one side of an industrial dispute, such as a few dishonest or stupid officials, such as jurisdictional disputes, such as crafts fighting industrial organization, retard the march of labor. Labor has been given its greatest opportunity under the NIRA. But the result depends on the wisdom with which labor itself meets that opportunity. The thing represented by the NIRA is here to stay. Industry knows that in its heart, even though it always does not admit the fact injwblic. As President Henry I. Harriman said in his keynote to the same United States Chamber of Commerce delegates addressed by General Johnson: “The chaos of unbridled competition can not be permitted to return. Some federal agencies co-operating with business must continue to carry out the major functions exercised by the NRA and the AAA. This does not mean an era of bureaucratic control, but rather a regime of orderly economic freedom in which the industries themselves play their responsible part. “We can not solve our economic problems by turning back or by standing still. We can not afford to cling too tenaciously to old convictions, or yield too reluctantly to new ideals.” That last applies to the Chamber of Commerce. It also applies to the American Federation of Labor. THE BOOTLEGGER'S TARIFF tariff is x a great comfort to the bootlegger. When repeal came last December, the legal liquor industry in this country possessed only one million gallons of bottled-in-bond whisky. It was evident then that aged whisky from foreign countries must be allowed to enter. But in the first four months of repeal only two and one-half million gallons dribbled over the tariff wall. The tariff on spirits is $5 a gallon: on champagne and sparkling wines, $6 a gallon: on still wines. $1.25 a gallon. These duties never were intended as revenue tariffs or protective tariffs. They were enacted as prohibitive tariffs. Across the border in warehouses in Canada are 25,000,000 gallons of American-tvpe aged whisky, most of it distilled from Americangrown rye and corn. And the cellars and warehouses of Europe bulge with other spirits and wines. The reciprocal tariff bill now before the senate offers but slight hope for Telief. Under it the President would be allowed to reduce the rates by 50 per cent. Such a reduction would leave the tariff on whisky at $2.50 a gallon, equivalent to an ad valorem of about 500 per cent on the cost of production. American distillers do not ask for such unreasonable tariff protection. They want protection from bootleggers. The only solution now in sight is adoption by the senate of an amendment reducing liquor tariffs to the pre-prohibition rates $2.60 a gallon spirits, $3 a gallon on champagne and 45 cents a gallon on wine. And then, should the President reduce these rates by 50 per cent. American distillers and vintners still would have more than 100 per cent protection for their products. DEFIANCE AT HARRIMAN 'T'HE defiant attitude of fifty-six Harriman tTenn.) business men in turning in their blue eagles in a sympathetic strike with Harriman hosiery mills against the nation’s recovery program is a climactic bit of ill-athnsed action in the whole situation. Again and again the national labor board has attempted to adjust the differences between strikers and the mill at Harriman. And the strike against the blue eagle started by Harriman merchants occurred jujjl

as General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA chief, was pledging the mills a personal Investigation and review of NRA’s action in removing Its blue eagle. There are, of course, strong economic reasons for the action of the Harriman group. Closing down of the mill will mean loss of employment for 600, and a tremendous loss of purchasing power in Harriman upon which the merchants are dependent for business and for profits. But does these merchants’ best Interest lie in defying and overthrowing the blue eagle? Suppose they were successful In undermining the whole recovery program. Would they benefit permanently from a return to the disastrous old* low-wage system? Or will they be better off In a nation where collective bargaining, an assurance of better purchasing power among employes, is in use? Hot-headed defiances will do Harriman little good. The nation as a whole will back NRA with its purchasing power, enforcing its rulings against businesses considered unfair. The best way out is a settlement of the differences—a settlement which can be reached if the merchants and the mill owners will, like General Hugh S. Johnson, always be ready to reopen the matter and calmly seek a proper disposition of the case. As matters stand, Harriman has thrown down the gauntlet to the nation without realizing how easily the nation can, without mortal combat, “step out of Harriman’s hosiery.”

POLITICAL SPOILS IT is high time that responsible executive heads in the government begin to give more than lip service to the divorcement of partisan politics from the federal service. The spoils system is a threat to recovery. The new deal can not succeed without the confidence of the people. It can not retain that confidence if the people are forced to deal with incompetent office holders like many who grabbed off jobs in the hurried organization of the new governmental agencies. There should be a weeding out of these Incompetents. There should be safeguards against others of the same stripe. Already Republican spokesmen are raising a campaign cry against bureaucracy. The administration should be in a position to answer that it is an honest, efficient, indispensable bureaucracy, accomplishing in an orderly way the purposes of the Roosevelt program. A few administration leaders, notably Secretary Ickes and Relief Administrator Hopkins, have fought heroically against the encroachment of spoilsmen. Others have placed a premium on professional partisans, loading the pay roll with them. “Seaboard Bill” Stephenson—intrusted with two billion dollars of the taxpayers’ money for relief of mortgage-distressed home owners almost wrecked the Home Owners Loan Corporation by allowing the Democratic party machines in several states to staff the corporation with political hacks. In the nick of time “Seaboard Bill” was demoted, and his job given to John H. Fahey' who is working hard for reform. The refusal of pie-hungry Democrats in congress to approve the Norris amendment, removing the partisan test for Home Owners Loan Corporation jobs, does not in any way tie the hands of President Roosevelt or Mr. Fahey, who urged its adoption. After all, the Norris amendment was little more than a legislative gesture. The heads of the executive branches of the government always have had and still have both the power and responsibility to appoint only qualified persons to administrative jobs. What has happened to the Democratic national committee’s housecleaning? Why did the good work stop with the forced resignations of only a few of the lawyer-lobbyists and federal office holders? There are still on the committee men and women who are cashing in on their party connections either by holding federal jobs or representing clients who have business w*ith the government. And the national chairman and New York state chairman is still Postmaster-General Farley. Why have administration and congressional leaders failed to carry out their promises of a few weeks ago to enact an omnibus law to “demonetize politics” by requiring each party official and each government official to serve only one master? Some of these same leaders, who talked so glibly a few weeks ago about purging the parties and the federal service of professional politicians, are now even cool toward the Borah bill, which forbids members of congress and government officials to accept legal retainers from persons and corporations whose interests are in conflict with the interests of the government. It is no answer for the Democrats to sav that they are no more selfish than were the Republicans. The people voted for anew deal. They have a right to expect anew type of dealers.

BACK TO ROYALTY TT is an odd thing, the way in which the public’s attitude toward royalty has changed since the war. When thrones toppled in 1918, and Hapsburg and Hohenzollern and Romanoff went to oblivion, we all assumed that the millennium was just around the corner. Autocratic despotism was going, kingdoms were being overthrown, and the spread of democracy wouid make all things right. But somehow it didn't work. The kings went, but despotism didn't. In some countries things got even worse, so that people began to look back with longing to the old days when they had a king. So now we find thousands of citizens of the Austrian republic clamoring for the return of Archduke Otto and the restoration of the monarchy. Their experience as a republic has iisillusioned them; and the fault is largely that of the great democracies of the world, which fixed things so that the Austrian republic could not succeed. The wild men of Borneo aren’t wild at all, says a missionary. Bring one of them to New York. let him loose in the traffic, and watch him go. A Philadelphia heart specialist advises men to quit golf at the age of 45. He must figure it would take them the rest of their lives to brag about their scores,

Liberal Viewpoint DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES =

ACCOMPANYING the Wirt flop comes another boomerang which is a typical product of reactionary imbecility. The Edmondson Economic Analysis Barometer Service has just sent out a broadside entitled “The Deadly Parallel: A Counsel of Experiment Versus Experience—A Graphic Patriotic Picture of Political and Economic Comparison.” The sheet proceeds to list one column of Americans who are described as “famous practical Americans who, under constitutional democracy’s individual reward system, helped to build United States prestige and wealth from zero to unequaled pre-eminence.” In a parallel column it sets down a “list of professors, doctrinarles, et al. prominent national administrators and advisers, mostly credited in the public press with favoring policies antagonistic to American traditions.” While fulsomely praising the outstanding individuals who are alleged to have brought the country from obscurity and poverty to paradise and international domination. Mr. Edmondson fails to mention the fact that W. W. Atterbury’s labor policies have been exceedingly reactionary; that it is John W. Davis’ mind which has been behind much of the corporate and financial structure that has all but ruined the country; that Charles G. Dawes has always been the playboy of the predatory financial interests and could only keep his own banks open through a vast loan from the federal government: that Carter Glass, once a liberal, made a worse spectacle last June than any of the bankers under investigation, and that E. G. Grace’s Bethlehem bonuses have long been a national scandal. tt n tt ALSO mentioned with these gentlemen are H. I. Harriman, who once approved the NRA and has been more recently demanding the revival of the very policies which brought on the depression: J. P. Morgan and Andrew Mellon who are the most conspicuous representatives of that finance capitalism which has brought America to the brink of ruin and seems likely to go through with the job; also overlooked is that not a single constructive proposal of any merit can be traced to Governor A. C. Ritchie, however charming a dinner companion he may be; that Charley Schwab has been for years the chief “happiness boy” of the old line American capitalism: that Owen D. Young’s record as to financial statesmanship is far from impregnable; and that James W. Wadsworth is perhaps the most distinguished representative of the American political Bourbons whose policies would put the country in the hands of the Fascists within two years. Who are the dangerous men, mostly foreigners, who are about to throw the country to the dogs: They are Adolf A. Berle, perhaps the most brilliant mind in American public life today, whose profound studies have thoroughly exposed the devious and disastrous methods of our speculative pirates: Justice Louis D. Brandeis whose dissenting decisions have played a leading part in the economic education of the nation; Felix Frankfurter, better qualified than any other American to be the recipient of Brandeis’ mantle; Sidney Hillman, the outstanding labor leader which the United States has produced. tt tt tt ALSO Henry Hunt, who showed that that great American city could be administered witn decency and economy; Harold L. Ickes, by common consent the strongest figure in the Roosevelt cabinet; Raymond Moley, who first made it possible for the United States to get expert advice on a large scale; Ferdinand Pecora, who was eminently successful in exposing and discrediting the chief enemies of the republic: Donald Richberg, devoted friend of social justice and idealism; James Harvey Rogers, whose monetary theories may well be contrasted to those of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mellon: Rexford G. Tugwell, who has surprised even his friends by proving as much of a statesman as an economist; Samuel Untermyer, arch enemy of the speculative moguls, whose labors back in 1912 exposed the money trust and might have saved the country from its present unhappy experience, and Leo Wolman, one of the world's best informed experts on labor and chiefly to be criticised for his increasing conservatism. Just to compare these lists is quite enough to lead any informed and civilized American to thank God for Roosevelt. And let us not forget that "the unequaled pre-eminence of prestige and wealth” to which Morgan, Mellon, et al.. raised us was “Black Friday,” March 3, 1933.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

POLITICO-SOCIAL luncheons are becoming a fad in Washington. One discusses national or international politics over the articokes or the salad and then hurries back to the office. It’s less fatiguing than a formal diplomatic dinner and more informative. Only one must beware of taboo topics at these luncheons. It wouldn't do to remind the Bolivian minister that his country is at war. Or to speak about the French debt to Ambassador De Laboulaye. Hence certain subjects are always carefully eschewed. Some luncheons and taboos: The luncheon given by Mrs. Byrnes, wife of Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, for Mrs. Daniel C. Roper,'wife of the secretary of commerce. Guests included Mrs. Garner, wife of the Vice-President; Mrs. Swanson, wife of the navy secretary; Mrs. Cummings, wife of the attorneygeneral. Taboo topic: Which is the most influential member of the Roosevelt cabinet. a tt tt THE luncheon given by alert, slim-waisted Wladyslaw Sokolowski. charge d'affaires of Poland, in honor of General Joseph Haller of the Polish army. Taboo topic: Political changes in Warsaw*. tt tt tt THE luncheon given by Mrs. George C. Thorpe at the Chevy Chase Club in honor of demure Mme. Saito, wife of the Japanese ambassador. Taboo topic: Japan’s attitude in the Far Easttern situation. tt tt THE luncheon given by Mrs. Eugene Woodson in honor of Mrs. Harry Paver, wife of exAssistant Secretary of State Paver, who has just resigned as special counsel to the RFC. Taboo topic: Mr. Paver’s resemblance to a widely known Dickens character. tt tt it THE luncheon given by tactful Argentine Ambassador Felipe Espil in honor of United States Diplomat Raymond Cox, just appointed from London to Buenos Aires. Taboo topic: American tariffs. a tt tt THE luncheon given in honor of the minister of the Irish Free State, Michael Mac White, by several admirers. Taboo topic: Whether Sam Houston had Irish blood in his veins and was the first Governor of Tennessee. n tt m THE luncheon given by Mrs. Gibson, wife of General William R. Gibson, for Mrs. George F. Winfield of New York. One of the guests was Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose, wealthy Kansas City widow* of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Compan:* family. Taboo topic: The absence of Loose-Wiles biscuits from the luncheoh menu. The saber has been eliminated from United States cavalry attire. Spurs still are indispensable to keep officers’ feet on their desks. Thirteen hundred words are enough for any language, says a Canadian educator. Why, that hardly covers the choice cuss words, let alone the slang.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES ,

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all can have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) an tt LUDLOW FAVORED FOR U. S. SENATOR By A. M. Sweeney. Louis Ludlow* is a modest man of unusual political insight, attributable to his receiving about one-third of a century’s schooling in those two universities of American statescraft, the United States house and senate. He spent the equivalent of fourteen congressional terms at Washington, as political correspondent for'several metropolitan dailies. There are three such men now in the senate. "While hearing these debates, he imbibed political acumen, and later he analyzed and prepared thousands of columns of political pabulum, like a great chef, to be spread before numberless intelligent and critical readers of the nation. He thus had a gold political mine in which to delve for many years. That is why he is called an encyclopedia of political history in Washington: why his maturity put him upon leading committees upon entering congress; why thousands overstep party lines to praise his efficiency; w*hy two years ago he defeated a Harrison, of kin to two Presidents, a name used to conjure with, and that is why his admirers are urging him to seek the Democratic nomination for United States senator. Mr. Ludlow is a veritable “multum in parvo” in politics. President Roosevelt now needs just such ripened intellects as Mr. Ludlow’s, for this is a severely sick nation needing rapid treatment, and novices lack prestige. These facts about Mr. Ludlow imply no disparagement of other aspirants, whose friends have the same right to speak, and it is absolutely due voters that each candidate should show far more fitness than a mere desire for office.

DEFENDS WILSON IN BANK CASES By a Times Reader How do the Republicans get the idea of persecuting Herbert Wilson for not prosecuting the bank officials, when it was the criminal investigator, who happens to be a Republican candidate, who made reports that the officials were guilty of no criminal acts?

Mr, Davis 9 ‘ lsm ’ Fear Discussed

By Mrs. Band! Aamot. Charles Hall Davis in his letter to The Times, expresses fear that the policies of the present administration will lead either to. Socialism, Communism or Fascism. They will, but in a somewhat roundabout way. Murder leads to the electric chair; overeating leads to stomach trouble and reactionary government leads to one of the three “isms” feared by Mr. Davis, welcomed by others. Don’t worry. There is nothing radical about the President and his brain trust. They only are trying to stop the self-destruction of the capitalist system, to my notion a hopeless task, but to them something worth trying. Any action aimed at the restoration of capitalism is reactionary. If I were you, Mr. Davis, I would not brag too much about “preservation of human rights and liberty” under capitalism. Such talk might produce a bitter smile on the faces of 11,000.000 unemployed. Where are their human rights? Where is their liberty? Just what is “the American plan,” Mr. Davis? Do you mean that as little government as possible is the ideal state of affairs? If so, you are an anarchist; or do you identify “the American plan’’ with strict democracy. If so let me, as a Socialist, §hake hands with you. But when you speak about the aims of the Socialist party you are somewhat out of line with the facts.

department to squawk if she doesn’t get remuneration equal to the union wage scale for seamers. The only trouble with persons of her type, is that they like to get the gravy without going to the trouble of going out to hunt for the meat. Indianapolis is known all over the United States as a “scab” town. If the employes of all the factories in the city were to organize, under a labor union banner, over night we would have the best city in the nation and the business concerns would be among the first to reap the reward. a a a LABOR CAN’T AFFORD STRIKE ADVERTISING By O. A. L. Any organization of labor, on a strike, is up against odds at the start, as it has almost no capital and can not explain its position to the public. The employer finds it profitable to spend lavishly to influence public opinion. Tne strike at Real Silk, up to last week, has been comparatively free of advertising campaigns on either side; but The Indianapolis Times, refusing to censor the truth, showed our position too clearly and the public became too sympathetic with us. Now r , on every hand, Real Silk’s advertising campaign for public opinion is in evidence. The Union is the only organ of the Central Labor Union in Marion county. Other “labor” papers, cleverly suggesting indorsements they do not < have, carry headlines favorable to the company, and are used and distributed by Real Silk to the outside world as part of the propaganda. Indianapolis has been too long the "scab city.” Labor all over the city is watching the Real Silk strike with an eye to the future. Anti-union business men know this and will make financial and moral contributions to aid Real Silk and to discourage future strikes. So

1 wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it — Voltaire.

It is not our intention “gradually to concentrate all power in government and then seize the government and administer it, not in the interest of all the people, but of a class described as the proletariat.” In the first place we want a classless society. As far as “gradually” is concerned, we have scrapped that. “Gradualism” has proven to lead to nothing. We want Socialism 100 per cent, and we want it mighty quick. To obtain it, we are not going to make a political “coup,” but only to drop ballots into a box, or pull some levers on a machine. And believe me, President Roosevelt does not at all intend to help us to victory. Capitalists ought to thank him morning, noon and night for his heroic efforts to save their wealth. That it can’t be done is a different story. Do not fear Socialism, Mr. Davis, unless you fear a society without wars, without injustice and without poverty; a society in which every adult will make $5,000 a year, with two months vacation and twenty hours of weekly work, a society which grants absolute security for all, from the cfadle to the grave. If you fear such a society, Mr. Davis, then continue your fight against Socialism, against decency, cultural refinement and the fundamentals of the Christian religion. You have your ideals, I have mine, and I am proud of them.

—don’t believe all you read in paid advertising. Labor is poor; we can not afford these tactics, but we are rich in spirit and we are sticking ; together. a a a BLIND DOG, MEAT AND THE CODES By Inquisitive. Working under a code to a working man is like a blind dog roaming in a meat shop; it is there, but what does it look like? They tell you it calls for 40 cents an hour; skilled or unskilled work, take it or leave it. That is the motto these days. Mr. Hoke stated all codes must be ; posted where they can be read by 1 the employes. I suggest they be posted above the time clock with a traffic officer assigned by our chief of police. a a a ASKS DENNY AND MARKUN, “CAN'T YOU TAKE IT?” By a Times Reader. Like many hundreds of Indianapolis and other Marion county residents who thinkingly exercise their franchise each election year, I of course, read your daily news regarding the various candidates and w’ish to commend The Times on the good work it is doing in the cause of politics. There is one thing that I can not understand. How can George Denny and Louis Markun, the mayoralty aspirants, conscientiously say anything about “bossism,” “machine politics” or “hand-picked candidates?” In the past Mr. Denny and Mr. Markun w’ere as large as any ducks in the puddle. To hundreds of us who know the inside of Republican party affairs or “political machine” as Georgie and Louie call it, their statements are laughable. Not so many years ago they too were backed and supported by the very same organization that they now refer to as “bos-ism”

and “machine politics” and the main reason they could not be supported again and in this campaign is because they are both weak sisters. What is the matter. Denny and Markun, can’t you take it? tt a a REAL SILK STRIKE AS WOMAN SEES IT. By a Striker’s Wife. There are quite a few persons who do not or won't understand about the Real Silk strike, especially R. S. and E. B. S. If William Smith wasn’t wanted and needed in Indianapolis, he wouldn’t be here. My husband has worked for Real Silk eight years. My brother had to qiut Real Silk or go to Sunnyside. Can you blame these men for fighting for what belongs to them? It means between sl6 and S2O more each week. They would use and appreciate it more than the ones who really get it. Will people in Indianapolis ever wake up? We are a good way behind every other state. If it wasn't for The Times most people would never know the truth about this strike. Knitters are human, too. What would you do in their place? Would you work for one-third of wha you know you are worth? tt a a E. M. B. A. PRAISED BY EMPLOYE By a Boarder. I recall about two weeks ago the | strikers had a mock funeral, and I buried the E. M. B. A. Well, they were having so much fun and such a good time that they didn’t get it buried deep enough so it "arose from the grave.” I can t understand how anyone could be so narrow minded as to think they could keep as loyal an organization as that down. It is fair and square in every respect and every striker knows it. I can say that one-third of the girls from this department who are on strike had a loan all the time and whenever they would get in a tight spot they knew they always could get money without any trouble and they certainly have shown their colors as far as appreciation is concerned In fact, I don’t think the boarders know why they are out. Certainly not because they didn’t make geed wages, i know pait of the girls make from $5 to $6 a day, and what we are charged for bad work doesn’t amount to 15 cents a week. I know this is true because I have worked in this department more than five years. Surely, when they get to the end of their journey and are tired and worn from walking the streets and sit down to rest and really come down to earth, they will realize what a good job they left. Personally. I think they would all give a whole lot to be back now. DAILY THOUGHT For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. St. Mark, 14:56.
