MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1934.

CORPORATE GANGSTERISM 'T'HE fact that it was the editor of The Times whom the steel police “arrested” in Gary is not important. What is significant about the incident is that it illustrates the feudalistic attitude of the United States Steel Corporation toward society. Rarely is an editor personally able to experience the things about which he writes. There is not a newspaper executive in the country who does not know of the notorious conduct of the private police of the coal and steel industries. Yet few, if any, of these executives have watched their methods at first hand. So The Times knows whereof it speaks when it says that in Gary constitutional rights are disregarded casually when property is at issue. Os course, the seizure of the editor’s person, the refusal to make any charge against him, the dragging of him to a steel company office and there detaining him forcibly over his protest was an act of sheer thuggery. There was not a shred of legal process or justification in it. The forcible removal of his notes, which were his property, was plain stealing—just as much so as if a bandit had taken his wallet at the point of a gun. The private police who indulged in this disgusting exhibition of corporate gangsterism were doing violence to every decent 'American tradition as much as though they had been members of the Russian Soviet's secret police. That they had some suspicion that they were outside the law is indicated by the fact that they refused flatly to give their names or identify themselves in any manner. If any one of those men had, without the backing and indorsement of a great corporation, indulged in such conduct purely as an invidual he promptly would have been clapped into Jail, charged with robbery and kidnaping. Small wonder that the people of the United States are insisting that business be regulated. It is not surprising that special legislation has become necessary to protect the plain American rights of steel company workers. For, if a fully credentialed newspaper man received such treatment from the steel company, how does it deal with its own employes who have no redress? The stupidity of steel company policy makers is incredible. Don’t they realize that illegal and strongarm methods convert far more to communism than any number of soap box orators? Can’t they see that they themselves are forcing government to regulate them more and more rigidly? Some of our industrial troglodytes are complaining loudly'that the New Deal is infringing upon the constitutional rights of business. Before they raise such a furore over this they should make certain that they themselves have proper regard for the Constitution. Certainly in Gary the steel company feels it can declare a moratorium at will on the constitutional rights of individuals. IMPARTIAL LABOR BOARDS NOW that congress has given the President unquestioned power to appoint boards to handle disputes over collective bargaining and, to a limited ext&it, jurisdiction over other labor disputes, the most important question is the personnel of those boards. Something more is required than that the members of these boards should be merely good men. In this emergency, when nerves are tense and feeling is running high in the steel and other industries, there will be inevitable suspicion of these boards. If they are to have the prestige required to gain cooperation of the disputants and to make the boards’ decisions stick, the board members must be above rep: ich. The President will be under pressure to make these boards bipartisan; that is, with equal representation for capital and labor under the chairmanship of a neutral. In the past this has been the policy usually of the American Federation of Labor. It also has been the policy of several 1 werful industrial groups. On the basis of the experience of bipartisan "boards under the temporary national labor board setup and the experience with the special automobile labor board, we believe that type of organization should be abandoned in the new boards. Experience shows that the bipartisan type of board does not function dispassionately and judicially. It tends to divide between two groups of advocates, for capital on the one side, and for labor off the other side. And that leaves only the impartial chairman, who thereby becomes in effect a oneman board. One-man boards are dangerc ’-i times like these. The risk of picking that one man is too great. The risk of one side or of both sides or of the public doubting the wisdom or the motives of that one man is too great. So we hope that the President will reject the pressure for bipartisan boards and appoint the members solely on the basis of their intelligence and impartiality. CLEANER MOVIES THE cry to “clean up motion pictures” is being heard again—this time loudly and insistently. The Federal Council of Churches, Jewish rabbis, the Federation of Women's Clubs, and clergymen of all the Protestant faiths have rallied to the support of Cardinal Dougherty in his attack on immoral and indecent films. The cardinal’s charges are drastic. In an official statement he declared, “Perhaps the greatest menace to faith and morals in America today is the motion picture theater, attended every week by almost 77,000,000 per-

sons, of whom some 23,000,000 are young people less than 21 . . . The usual theme of these moving pictures is divorce, free love, marital infidelity and the exploits of gangsters and racketeers. “A vicious and insidious attack is being made on the very foundation of our Christian civilization; namely, the sacrament of marriage, the purity of womanhood, the sanctity of the home, and obedience to lawful authority.” Religious leaders of many faiths have joined with Cardinal Dougherty in urging members of their churches to boycott objectionable pictures. Hollywood producers, quick to defend themselves, reply that the films do no more than mirror life. Motion picture dramas, they insist, are no more objectionable than stage plays, books, and paintings of the day, and if they deal with unsavory subjects it is because that is what the public wants. Yet American newspapers reach an even wider public than the films and in the newspaper’s entertainment features—notably the serial novels and comic strips—the press never has found it necessary or profitable to stoop to the salacious. Racketeering and gang life have no place in newspaper fiction. While motion pictures, by subtle innuendo, have presented the most daring of “modern” sophisticated situations, the heroines of newspaper serials have remained ideals of American womanhood. Perhaps there is a lesson in this for the film magnates. At any rate, the daily newspaper, though often accused of cheapness and sensationalism, remains a staunch defender of the conventions. CANADIAN RECIPROCITY ' 1 'HE new tariff deal, which empowers the A the President to make mutually beneficial import and export agreements with other countries, adjusting tariffs accordingly, opens the way to new consideration of closer relations with Canada. It was in 1911 that President Taft tried to engineer a reciprocity treaty with Canada. It was passed by congress, but later rejected by the Dominion government. Now it is reported that Canada again is exploring the possibilities of such arrangement. With the completely new view of foreign trade, which now prevails throughout the world, there are possibilities here. Five years ago the United, States and Canada carried on the greatest two-nation commerce in the world. Today there still must be vast possibilities for trade between us, which will be equally advantageous to both. Certainly no two nations are more closely linked by geography and every consideration of true neighborliness that should enable them to help each other in trade. There is reason to believe that, among the many trade proposals which will be put before President Roosevelt under his new tariff powers, one of the first will be plans for wider and mutually beneficial trade with Canada. EVERY ONE A GARDENER QCHOOL children in Los Angeles and other learn gardening just as they learn the multiplication table or spelling. Courses begin in the third and fourth grades for those who wish it, and are required in the fifth and sixth grades. The courses may be continued through high school. Neighbors donate land for the school gardens; volunteers tend them thrqugh the vacation season. If there is anything better to teach children than some elemental knowledge of growing things and how to make them grow, it is hard to think what it might be. Pathetic is the ignorance of many city-bound people of how to grow vegetables or flowers or trees, hew to make a garden or landscape a lawn. Every man is better equipped for life with this knowledge, and better off for even so shallow a contact with Mother Earth. Many a school system might profitably adopt this plan. WOMEN AT WORK 'T'HE girl and the typewriter, the girl behind the sales counter, and the woman engaged in skilled professional work are so much a part of the economic picture in the United States that it is hard to imagine a great city without its women workers. Yet Herbert S. Mills, professor emeritus of economics at Vassar college, reminded alumnae of that institution the other day that woman’s freedom in choosing a career in the home, business or professional life has been definitely curtailed in three great countries, and warned that if they value this freedom they must be prepared to defend it. In Germany women once more are taking the Victorian role of home-maker—and giving up all work outside the home. In Italy they are honored only as mothers of men. In Russia, on the contrary, home life is ignored and the wife who spends her days toiling in the factory or fields must forego her heritage of home-making and rearing a family. No matter how one may feel about the desirability of women confining their activities to the home or working outside it, young women in this country who have definite leanings toward one or the other—or wish to combine both should give thanks for the privilege. For others, this particular phase of the German, Italian, and Russian innovations in government remains one of the most interesting to watch. $108,000,000,000 ’E' VERY individual knows wnat the three terrible years of depression cost him. But there is no better time to study what they may have cost all of us together. The national Industrial conference board has just made its estimate. It believes that the three years from 1930 to 1933 cost the American people $108,000,000,000 in lost wages, profits, and investments. It estimates that employes lost $37,000,000,000 in wages and salaries. , The loss to people in business for themselves in income, rents, royalties, interest, and dividends is set at $47,400,000,000, with an additional capital business loss of $23,200,000,000 to individual proprietors and corporations. * It is difficult to say how accurate these estimates may be. But a little reflection on their magnitude makes any man incline to say to himself: “This must not, can not, happen again!” The more a motorist drinks, says a Milwaukee doctor, the worse is the accident he gets into—and the 1&$ he feels it. , \ I \

Liberal Viewpoint —BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES —

recently have heard that the alternatives V rwhich face us today are the New Deal, fascism and communism. Dr. Kalien will have one of the three (“A Free Society.” By Horace M. Kalien, Robert C. Ballou, $1). Laying primary stress upon the interests of the consumer, Dr. Kalien outlines a society which would combine the two desirable elements of freedom and security. His program bears a striking resemblance to the guild socialism so enthusiastically recommended by Cole and others a decade back. If Dr. Kalien is an optimist, Professor Niebuhr tends toward pessimism ("Reflections on the End of an Era.” By Reinhold Niebuhr. Scribners, $1). He finds that Christianity and capitalism have failed to assure social and economic justice. He fears that the penalty exacted by the failure of Christianity to bring about a regime of economic plenty and cultural superiority will be a drift first into fascism and then into communism. Os the two, he prefers the lhtter, but criticises its atheism and materialism. The volume is one of the most searching contributions written by a Christian professor in our era. n u u ONE of the most sensible proposals to insure recovery and decency is an improvement of the housing facilities of the country. Mr. Goldfield gives us a concise summary of what has been achieved along this line in Europe and America and adds suggestions as to what might be done immediately in this country (“Toward Fuller Living Through Public Housing and Leisure Time Activities.” By Abraham Goldfield. National Public Housing Conference. 25 cents. The consumer is not unlike the weather in the United States today. Everybody is talking about him and nobody doing much for him. The whole issue of the consumer in contemporary American society is thoroughly discussed from various points of view in the latest symposium of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (The Ultimate Consumer. Edited by James G. Brainerd. The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. $2). Perhaps the most important and practical essay is that by Mr. F. J. Schlink on “What Government Does and Might Do for the Consumer.” With the census of 1930 listing nearly eleven million women as gainfully employed, the position and status of woman in American industry society can not be ignored by those who are working for reconstruction. Nor will this reconstruction be achieved so long as the average wage of all women employed in manufacturing in the United States is under sl2 a week or from 20 to 27 per cent below the earnings of men in comparable positions. Any one who wishes to know all the important facts about the condition of women in American industries should turn to Miss Hutchin’s thorough and informing book (“Women Will Work.” By Grace Hutchins. International Publishers. $2). # n u ONE of the most progressive and up-to-date American unions is the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. We have needed a thorough and authoritative account of its history, methods and achievement. This is now supplied in Mr. Zaretz’ comprehensive and well-documented book (“The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America.” By Charles Elbert Zaretz. Ancon Publishing Company. $1.50). If labor unions prove a powerful factor in reshaping American industrial society they will have to follow the general lines of development marked by the Amalgamated. Arbitration of industrial disputes is bound to assume larger proportions as the NRA proceeds with its work. Miss Kellor has written a olear and comprehensive summary of American arbitration before and since the passage of the NRA (Arbitration in New Industrial Society. By Frances Kellor. McGraw-Hill. $2.) In any scientific program of social reconstruction, the social sciences will inevitably play a leading part. They, only, can provide us with the background and factual information essential in so complex a civilization. Professor Beard gives us an authoritative analysis of the nature and problems of the more important social sciences.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

IF any one doubts Japanese popularity in Washington he should go to a large garden party at the Japanese embassy. The party given by Ambassador and Mme. Saito the other afternoon in honor of Prince Konoye, president of the house of peers, was so vast that it .kept traffic policemen busy patrolling Massachusetts avenue, and motors were blocked for many minutes. Literally, the entire diplomatic corps seemed to be there. And senators and a Catholic bishop and a sprinkling of congressmen and dowagers and a duchess and newspaper correspondents and—well, every one you could think of. Rain did not spoil anything. The terrace and the garden were jammed with guests when a sudden shower blew up, but every one crowded inside or—like the Belgian ambassador—stood under the trees until the sun shone again. nan ONE man had just ordered a whisky and soda at the table on the terrace when the rain began falling. This was Mr. Juan Chevalier of the Panama legation.* Guests fled, but Juan wanted his drink. The butler poured the whisky, added the ice cubes, started to add the water, "Wait!” said Juan, as the rain fell more heavily. “Don’t bother about water. The rain will do nicely enough.” tt tt tt MAGNIFICENTLY attired in cutaway and silk hat, with a gardenia in his button hole. Senator King of Utah arrived at the party, late. Dignified yet urbane, he marched into the hall. “Ah Senator,” said Bishop Ryan of Catholic university. “Why are you all dressed up on this hot day?” “My daughter just got married,” replied King, “and that’s an excellent reason for a father to look resplendent.” n a tt Minister michael mac white of the Irish Free State and Representative Bloom of New York wore white flannels and blue coats —and. at a distance, looked like twins. Sol was warmly congratulated for his retort to General Hugh Johnson, in which he termed the generalissimo “a kingpin of discourtesy.” The exquisitely dressed Monsieur Paul May, ambassador of Belgium, appeared like a prince of diplomats, in a dazzling white waistcoat. White spats were affected by witty Senor Miguel Echegaray of Spain, who held up his foot to point them out to a friend. “Seewhite as snow!” he remarked. The Portuguese minister, Mr. Bianchi, resembled a rainbow from Hollywood. He wore a decoration, a white waistcoat, spats, a' brilliant tie, striped trousers and a mustache trimmed ala John Gilbert. The minister of Greece, M. Charalambos leaned pensively against the marble railing of the terrace smoking Greek cigarets (which are better than Turkish, in the opinion of the writer). It was noticeable that most of the diplomatic corps still wore black coats and stiff white collars—a formality which it seemed had vanished several weeks ago. The Americans were mostly in flanfiels, linens and lighter fabrics. Science has gone to bat for the farmers of the country in a general war against the chinch bug—and it w:ll be no cinch, either. Nobody will ever know all that Hitler and Mussolini told each other at their meeting in Venice, but their chuckles could be heard all over Europe.

THE > INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

(Times readers are invited to express their views in these columns. Make your letters short, so all nan have a chance. Limit them to 250 words or less.) non BLOOMFIELD APPROVES OF THE TIMES Bv H. L. The writer was in Bloomfield, June 4, and during his stay asked a high school pupil: “Is The Times widely read in this town of retired farmers?” “Yes,” replied the pupil, “We read The Times because it gives the best sports news of any Indianapolis newspaper.” Coming, as it does, from an unsophisticated rural community, this praise is of a kind to be appreciated. The Times sports editors deserve to be commended for the excellence of their work. In the matter of a newspaper’s worth in giving publicity to sports and participants, it is hard to fool the rural fan. Professional baseball, although it has its setting in the larger cities and is almost wholly reliant upon urban residents for its gate receipts, is patronized more avidly by the rural person through the columns of his newspaper. Too, quite a few of the big league stars are from the “sticks,” and naturally, the countryside is inter-’ ested in its own. Let us believe that The Times wili continue to improve its progressive policy of giving its readers the best in news and comments until the whole state shall have been won for Indiana’s newspaper. PREDICTS RETURN OF DRY WAVE By Temperate. Those of us who are old-fashioned enough to be decent were told, when the question of repealing the eighteenth amendment was raised, that the country was riotously drunk most of the time under the amendment and that repeal would bring “true temperance.” We knew then that this was false and misleading. We fought, but unsuccessfully. Now, we have the satisfaction of knowing that the general public is realizing just how false and misleading the wets’ propaganda was. The general public, seeing drunks stagger < out of low dives, reputable restaurants, fine hotels and homes in every sort of neighborhood, will soon sicken of such a spectacle. I predict the return of repeal within three years at the rate Americans, young and old, ar drinking themselves to perdition. tt u n URGES BETTER DEALING IN FIREWORKS By A Patriot. The annual “gyp” is on—fireworks. Indianapolis has become a haven for outside professional promoters of displays and also mythical companies dealing in surplus stocks, sold as new goods. There are many reliable manufacturer. and dealers in the fireworks business and they should be patronized and protected by the Better Business Bureau and other similar agencies. The writer is a chemist and in previous Years has had experience relative to fireworks. He fully realizes and knows that fireworks lose a very large percentage of efficiency when carried over year after year. If the people of Indianapolis want fireworks to celebrate the glorious Fourth and the advent of better times, we should have the best. When these mythical companies can afford to rent downtown buildings six weeks in advance of the fourth, with no revenue for that period, they either are showing poor business judgment, or you and I will pay a, premium.

GETTING ALL THE CREAM!

Critical of Institutions Public Supports

By Mary Pratt. A jobless, hungry man called on me. He was suffering from a terribly ulcerated tooth. I helped him as much as I could. Then I started through the telephone book trying to find some agency which could relieve him at once. Results of my efforts: city hospital (city supported)—Clinic for day over. No clinic Saturday. No clinic Sunday. Possible help on Monday although not much dental work is done. Indiana University School of Dentistry (state supported)—No free work without recommendation from some social agency. No work URGES MORE FREQUENT GARBAGE COLLECTIONS By V. G. G. Why is it that no more than two weekly garbage collections are made at Indianapolis homes during the summer? It seems outrageous that in a city as modern and large as Indianapolis, garbage should be allowed to lay around drawing flies, polluting the air and ground and spreading disease. Surely, collections could be made at least every other day. Os course they should be made every day. tt a a STRAY DOGS MENACE TO CHILDREN By A Mother. It seems to me the police or some one would do something drastic about this epidemic of persons being bitten by dogs. It has gotten to the point where it is not safe to let a child get out of its parents’ sight. There are literally thousands of dogs running wild in Indianapolis, many of them homeless, and about 90 per cent without tags to indicate their owners have bought licenses for them. I am a dog lover, but I do not think it is kindness to an animal to permit it to run the streets, shifting for itself. Why doesn’t the dog catcher get dogs? It would reduce the danger of children becoming infected with rabies, and undoubtedly would bring in enough revenue from owners who would take out licenses to more than repay the city for the added expense of the dog catchers. tt tt CONVERT WON BY JANE JORDAN By H. R. H. May I offer a word or two in praise of Jane Jordan’s column, “Manners and Morals.” My opinion of persons who peruse the lovelorn strips has heretofore been low, but I’m in that class now and I somehow can’t get ashamed of it. Not that I agree with everything that she writes, but no one can deny that she makes you think, and what a contrast that is to the trite glibness of most of the lovelorn “sisters.” And I find that, studied with an open mind, her seemingly cynical observations and deductions are surprisingly right. ■ Now please don’t tell me the office boy writes the column. The office boy doesn’t write the column, we assure you. o tt CHEERED UP BY ARTHUR AND HUEY By a Misanthrope. I am glowing over the nomination of Senator Robinson and the subsequent indorsement by Senator Long, because it brings definite proof to my conclusions that mankind in general, and Hoosier Republicans in particular, are solemn failures, unable to cope with life. Thus, the nomination of Senator

of any kind this week because of presence of state board of examiners. Refer to Riley hospital. Riley Hospital (state supported) —Social service department. No dental work. Clerk called city hospital. Net result—Emergency case may call at city hospital at once where they will see if anything can be done about it. None of our city and state supported agencies is able or willing, except under pressure, to take care of a badly ulcerated tooth for a jobless, hungry mfyi. What are they paid for? Robinson as a step toward the repudiation of organized society will bring with it chaos and misrule. Being in favor of revolution, I repeat that I am happy to note Senator Robinson’s nomination. May I join in the yowlings of Huey Long in indorsing “Li’l” Arthur. tt o FEARS SPREAD OF TYPHOID By D. H. L. I have read with interest and alarm the news on the typhoid epidemic at New Bethel. My greatest concern and amazement is that citizens there apparently are little troubled by the large number of cases that have broken out, including the death of a young man. So far I have not heard of any direct moves, save advice, on the part of proper authorities to combat the disease. Inoculation has been recommended strongly by the health commissioner, it is true, but it seems to me that the date set for the mass meeting to discuss direct action was pretty far off. New Bethel is in Marion county, only ten miles from Indianapolis, and the disease, unless there is a strong and active campaign, directed against it, may readily be carried to this city. I don’t suppose there is any law to enforce inoculation, but can’t something be done soon? a a PROPOSES CAMPAIGN OF DOG CATCHING By M. C. F. Now that the city has awakened to the danger being spread by rabid dogs, let’s have some action. It takes more than words to round up deathdealing, savage mongrels threatening our children with saliva-coated, poisoned fangs. How about a regular pound wagon with dog-catching equipment to insure our little ones against horrible death? n a tt PROPOSES MUZZLES FOR CHILDREN By M. G. W. Big, brave Mayor Sullivan. Congratulations! It takes courage to war on defenseless, dumb beasts. All dogs are faced with death because some cruel, teasing children have been bitten by dogs. Cries of rabies are heard in every quarter. How many of these socalled rabid dogs are really suffering from hydrophobia? Not many, I warrant. A teasing child is bitten by an animal suffering from the heat. The animal is immediately branded mad. Let’s put muzzles on some of the annoying children. a tt VOICES GRATITUDE FOR HOME LOAN By Grateful Citizen. In this day of reduced income and increased prices it is good to know our President is doing all in his power to aid the working man. I am a “white collar” worker and during the last three years have not been employed steadily. The mortgage on my home was

JUNE 18, 1934

ten months behind and I applied to the Federal Home Loan for aid. I did not expect to get action on my application for a long time as I understood there were thousands of applications on file. I was most pleasantly surprised last week when I received notice my application had been acted upon favorably. I was more pleasantly surprised, however, when I was informed by I a building and loan association that it would scale my mortgage down SI,OOO, and accept the home loan notes. I think we should thank God from the bottom of our hearts for sending us a man who has the interests of the common people at heart, as does our President. a tt ATTACKS METHODS IN PREVENTING STRIKE By A Thinkinff Worker. In your issue of Saturday you tell us in large headlines that the steel strike has been abandoned temporarily, that William Green’s oratory •‘swayed” the workers, and that Michael F. Tighe, reactionary president of the steel workers, would submit proposals to President Roosevelt. I have long been a reader of your paper and an admirer of its policy of fairness to the underdog, but when you print the above and call it news it is almost time to draw the line. You know and every other intelligent person knows that the issue had no other conclusion. It is the same dilatory procedure employed to throw the automobile workers into confusion, by delaying counter proposals, and finall-’ after sufficient subterfuges, oblivion. Some day in the not distant future, the rank and file, knowing the conclusion already has been reached before they have called their strike vote, will strike first and vote afterwards. and will the $15,000-a-year face of Mr. Green be red. n u tt CAPITALISTIC HAND SEEN IN STRIKE NEWS By A Union Man. The News showed its capitalistic hand again in the way it handled the proposed steel strike. Evidently editors of the News were unwilling to give the working man a break. It carried nothing but propaganda for the rich steel mill owners. The Times carried both sides and should be congratulated for giving the people the truth.

PRAYER

BY VIRGINIA I found one hour’s quiet Peace Upon a hill, up near the sky. And felt each Worry gain release In clouds as they went passing by. I felt the pulsing, throb of earth Course through my weary body’s streets, Releasing long forgotten Mirth To make my hour of Peace complete. “Give me, each day, this hour of Life, Oh, God,” I winged my prayer oa high, “And every little care and strife I’ll try to pass without a sigh.”
