THURSDAY. AUG. 2. 1534. THE KIN GAN SI IT /"VRGANIZED labor, the employers of hndianapous ar.d the community as a whole should, vo think, welcome ’he $25,000 suit brought by Tom Smith against Krngan & Cos., his former employer. Mr. Smith says he was discharged because of his Activities in behalf of union labor. Kingan As Cos. has not replied publicly to this, but company officials undoubtedly will contend that Smith lost his job for other reasons. It is out of just such situations as this that serious Industrial warfare grows. Society tolerates the strike as an economic weapon only because nothing better has been found. In a true industrial democracy the s'rlke would be unneces-ary. Just as in a properly functioning political democracy the activities of vigilantes would De condemned. The last Indiana legislature took a long step toward the orderly settlement of labor disputes when it made the courts available to both employer and emplo-e. In Chapter 12 the lawmakers laid down a general policy much more specific than Section TA in the federal law’. This policy declares the right of the employe to “full freedom of association, selforganization and designation of representatives of his own choosing to negotiate the terms and conditions of his emplovment." It also makes rl* ar the right of the worker to “be free to decline to associate with his fellows” if he so chooses. Section 6 of the same chapter lays down the terms under which a suit for damages may be brought. To be sure, this section is negative in that it gives the conditions under which an action will not be permitted, but the intent of the legislature is perfeotly plain that damages may be collected under the proper circumstances. Mr. Smith and his attorney, Mr. Owens, are performing a public service by testing this law. Labor never before has taken advantage of it. It is to be hoped that Kmean A: Co.'s counsel will put nothing in the way of a speedy trial. The courts of this country are set up to make possible the adjudication of disputes so that the peace and dignity of society as a whole may be maintained. If Indiana has found a way of lifting labor troubles out <*l the guerilla warfare class and into the courtroom, where they belong, it has set an example which will redound to the credit of the state throughout the entire nation. Nobody ever really "wins'* a strike. Law’ suits are far cheai>er. far more in keeping with the American tradition, and lead to better and more lasting settlements. HINDKNBURG TJAUL VON HINDENBURG was more than -*■ a man. He was a symbol. Like the ancient gods of his Teutonic forefathers, he represented the virtues of a race. Long before death he had become a heroic legend for two generations. To separate fact from legend, man from symbol, is impossible. Nor is the effort important. For the thing that has influenced German history profoundly is not what he actually was. but w hat his people and the world thought he was. Perhaps history presents no purer paradox. Hindenburc. militarist of the militarists and pride of his Junkers, became a hero by losing a war and an empire. Hmdenburg. archmonarchist. became the Idol of the republic. Then—paradox compounded—the monarchist who had saved the republic from destruction by its monarchist enemies and his monarchist friends, threw it to the Nazi wreckers and tried to bless the rums by retaining office as president. Until the last humiliating months, this was the saga of one mighty in the simple virtues of courage, loyalty and personal honor; of one limited in vision, but pure in heart. What happened when he stepped out ol character and went along with Hitler is obscured by the fog of Nazi propaganda and the prison-like isolation of his country retreat. Maybe history's verdict will be that the eyes of the wean giant had seen too much of strife, the great heart leaped too often to the call of courage; that he who bent before the Nazi weaklings was not Von Hmdenburg. the idol, but an enfeebled old man waiting for the grave and for test.

JOBLESS RELIEF HISTORIANS nowadays generally agree that Mane Antoinette, when she learned that the people of Fiance had no bread, did not make that famous crack—" Let them eat cake * Nevertheless, the story will persist; for whether she actually said it or not. the remark illustrates perfectly the attitude of the Bourborns toward the masses of France, and it helps to explain why those masses eventually rose and cut their sovereigns' heads off. For some reason one is reminded of that hoary anecdote by the recent experiences of George Allen of Washington, commissioner lor the District of Columbia. Mr. Allen wanted to find out how the nations jobless men were getting on. so he put on his old clothes, let his beard grow, and went out to stand xn the breadlines in such cities as Chicago. Cleveland. Detroit, Toledo and Milwaukee. He came back to Washington the other day and expressed himself. •‘The snootiest people on God's green earth are running the federal employment agencies.” he said. "You ask them for a job and they feel they're doing you a favor to take your application. Most of the offices close at noon. Why don’t they keep open all day and fight for the unemployed, trying their damnest to get them jobs?” Now it happens that Mr. Alien met a ryupber of Communists during his wander- j

ir.gs, and he found that the Communists are more sympathetic—which, he said, explains why jobless men sometimes come under their influence. “The relief people,” he says, “won’t listen to the jobless man, much less fight for him, so he turns to the Communist, who offers to go out and get what the man wants. But* Communist orators can t hold their listeners if jobs are in prospect. Pass through a crowd, whisper that jobs are available here and there, and soon the Communist is talking to-him-self. ** Now this whole problem of unemployment relief is anew one, and it was inevitable that we should make mistakes in *ur handling of it. But it is hard to see how a greater mistake could be made than to permit relief azents to adopt the old Marie Antoinette atti’ude toward the people they are supposed to help. The jobless man is always discouraged. He needs friendly sympathy and understanding just about as much as he needs a job. If the agents of his own government don’t give him that sympathy and understanding—if, instead, they take pains to show that they feel him to be a ragged and undeserving bum —’hey are building up for all of us a misunderstanding and a resentment that may some day prove pretty costly. WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS—''P'HE late Tom Marshall made the vice- **■ presidency famous by his statement that what this country needs is a good 5-cent cigar. Now officials of another Democratic administration say that .what the country needs is a good 5-cent pack of cigarets. J. B. Hutson, chief of the A. A. A. tobacco section, has it all worked out.’ He thinks that a reduction in tobacco taxes would increase con-um pt ion, stimulate competition among manufacturers, and permit a fair profit all around on a nickel package of fifteen cigarets. Some months ago the house ways and means committee suggested a 40 per cent reduction of tobacco taxes, and tobacco men were of the opinion that this would mean an equal increase in consumption with mutual benefit to farmer, manufacturer, merchant and consumer. * We are not experts in this matter. But we confess to a vigorous prejudice against these excessive sales taxes, especially the unequal burden carried by the tobacco industry, and, as smokers, we certainly would not object to getting our tobacco cheaper.

HOW IT WAS DONE TF Dillinger and his gang of gunmen planned their Indiana bank robberies as thoroughly as they did in Ohio, the law enforcement agencies of this state are confronted with a question mark which will not be erased easily. Today in one of a series of stories written by Basil Gallagher on the inside operations of the Diilinger gang, it is revealed that the mob leader and his henchmen planned earelully every move they made before they launched a bank attack. From their detailed reports on the bank situation in several Ohio towns and the charts used to outline the roads of escape it is apparent that the ground must have been covered many times. To have done such a complete job. either Dillinger or members of his gang must have been face to face with police officers and leading citizens of the Ohio towns time and time again. As long as criminals are able to carry on such campaigns, unmolested by the law’. It is no wonder that bank robbing is a profitable business.

THE JUDGES RULE TN Chicago, a federal judge Invokes the Constitution to shield a hat company from enforcement of NRA code provisions. In a New’ York state court, an auto retailer is convicted of violating a code. In Cleveland, another federal judge affirms the right of the government to buy land for low -cost housing projects. These items from one day’s news indicate to what extent, judges are our real lawmakers and rulers. Decisions each day are piled on the growing mountain of rulings that complicate the workings of the New Deal. Judges have disagreed on the power of the government to curb “hot oil.” to enforce collective bargaining with employes, to prevent chiseling an agreed wage scale. Some judges regard the Constitution as a strait-jacket, binding the American people for all time. Other judges see it as a living organ of government designed to guide and protect the people in their co-operative efforts for the common good. Federal judges serve for life, and set precedents that live long after they are dead. New Dealers may expect to make but little permanent progress so long as the old guard holds the judicial power of veto. President Roosevelt has no long-range responsibility more important t{mn filling federal judiciary vacancies with men of vision.

MILITARY CONTRAST WHEN Premier Mussolini decided that he * * might at any moment be obliged to send troops into Austria, it took him rather less then twenty-four hours to concentrate four war-strength army divisions, fully equipped and ready for action, along the Austro-Italian border When President Roosevelt visited Hawaii, he reviewed the one fully equipped division which the United States army possesses. Nowhere on the mainland could one full division be assembled, without a month or so preparation. shifting of troops, expanding of skeletonized units, and so forth. The contrast is an eloquent testimonial to the peaceful prospects which permit the United Slates to maintain a small army. Every European nation must keep its army on a war footing, ready for action at any time. But we can afford to maintain just one division—and we can keep it on an island. 2.000 miles away from the mainland! Collectors value a letter signed by Benjamin Franklin and Robert Morns at $950, and yet many a blond collector values one or two letters signed by a single man at much more. Warden Lawes of Sing Sing says college men make good prisoners. Now have you any doubts about sending your boy to college? Why Can't Mae West's recent film, “It Ain’t No Sin." be named “It's a Sin and a Shames ?.

Liberal Viewpoint BY UR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

A SIGH of relief may go up in certain quarters as the result of the suppression of the San Francisco strike ar.d the declaration of martial law to handle the Minneapolis strike. There is little ground for any such feeling of satisfaction. There are many other serious strikes m progress and the labor policies of : American employers may be counted upon to start plenty of new ones. The violence of American employers, aided and abetted by local gendarmes and militia, no more settles our labor disputes than Hitler settled the German situation by shooting a few hundred malcontents. The issues involved in the current labor disputes and industrial set-up are clear enough to any one who wishes to find them. The present struggle is not an attempt to supplant capitalism by another socio-economic system. It is an endeavor to assure prosperity within the capitalistic system. If this is to be achieved, the essential conditions are perfectly plain to any one with the slightest economic information and insight. In the first place we must put an end to the existing high-toned robbery of the American public through holding companies and investment banking houses. The “something for nothing” business ethics must be condemned, whether practiced by multimillionaire corporate manipulators or by A1 Capone and John Dillrnger. a a m IN the second place, adequate purchasing power must be assured for the mass of Americans; salaried classes, industrial workers and farmers. Unless these groups can buy goods, factories can not run and the credit institutions of the country can not operate properly. In the third place, we must have a planned economy, designed not so much to enforce the old and disastrous ideal of productive scarcity as to insure the maximum productivity compatible with our technological development and consumer needs. We should give less attention to the interests of the small producer and more io the requirements of the small consumer. In addition we must do something to lift the crushing debt of a quarter of a trillion dollars which hangs over our heads, and must battle against wasteful expenditures for war purposes which already absorb three-fourths of our federal income. If anything is clear in the present economic situation in the United States it is that capital seems determined to forfeit its rights to leadership. The overwhelming majority still subscribes to all the old ideals and practices which ruined us from 1921 to 1929. In so far as they support the NRA at all they back up only the measures which enable them further to exploit the American people. a b n IF we can expect nothing from capital, only the salaries classes, the farmer and organized labor remain. The salaried classes have little social vision and take their licking lying down. The farmers are properly resentful but they are unorganized, individualistic, and the most treacherous and irresponsible chiselers in the whole American body politic. It is beginning to seem a fact, whether we like it or not, that our only hope of restoring prosperity resides in the ability of labor to assert itself and end the major abuses which afflict us. Therefore,, it behooves labor to be extremely careful to see to it that its policies are wise and strategic. It equally behooves the American public to be slow’ to condemn the assertiveness of labor, unless it is willing to face the inevitable alternatives of fascism and ultimate economic collapse.

Capital Capers BY GEORGE ABELL

CONGRESSIONAL women are passing a busy summer. None of them is in Washington. Some are very much in the limelight of publicity while others shrink from the glare. But they are busily engaged either in politics or attending to personal affairs. Take, for instance, the glamorous Representative Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts, now working overtime with a special committee appointed to make an investigation of the guardianship of incapacitated World war veterans. Representative Rogers spends her days delving into facts and figures. Her co-workers write that she never relaxes. She is constantly on the job, despite the heat, despite numerous interruptions. So anxious was she to begin work with the committee that she made the trip to Indiana by air. Witty, wise Representative Florence Kahn of California has given up her apartment at the Mayflower in Washington and returned to her native state. There—in the maelstrom of politics which has temporarily turned California into a madhouse—elderly, dignified Mrs. Kahn claims to find real mental repose. • Paradoxically, she is never so composed as when she is in the midst of turmoil. It is worth watching her placidly during the turbulent sessions of the house. VIVACIOUS, animated Representative Kathryn O Loughlin McCarthy is back in the little town of Hays, Kan., catching up on personal business, correspondence, etc. She doesn't expect to go back to the capital before late autumn. From a social and political point of view, none is more missed in Washington than the ever charming Representative Isabella Greenway of Arizona. Just now, she's in Chicago en route to Tucson. She expects to be away for some time. It is highly possible that she may see her close friend, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, before she returns. (Mrs. Roosevelt is now on a tour of the west.) a a a THE Grecian profile of Representative Virginia Jenckes is likewise missing from the congressional picture. Mrs. Jenckes is in Indiana studying the political situation, and trying to rest. But she finds it hard. The calls of constituents, constant streams of telegrams and letters, and the insistent buzz of a telephone keep her on the qui vive. Once, Mrs. Jenckes threatened to have the telephone removed, it was said, but finally relented. Senator Hattie Caraway of Arkansas disappeared about the time of the wedding of her son, Lieutenant Paul Caraway, and has not yet returned to Washington. Friends say she is quietly engaged in a survey of the political situation in Arkansas and expects to return to Washington about the middle of August. tt tt tt INCIDENTALLY, considerable interest has been aroused in G. O. P. circles at word that former Representative Ruth (Silk Stocking Ruth) Baker Pratt of New York is being opposed by certain Republican leaders as a delegate to the gubernatorial convention in October. Ruth is a dynamic person and has many friends, both Democrats and Republicans. She was one of the few women in the house who was known to have a genuine sense of humor. Everyone liked her—even her political enemies. Hence, there is some bitterness expressed at the attempt to bar Ruth from the convention. The Republican idea, it appears, is to discipline her for having supported the McKee ticket in New York's last mayoralty contest. That wall of “force rays” invented by Dr. Nikola Tesla may be used to keep out foreign invaders, unless the munitions people protest to the NRA. Mississippi has voted to continue prohibition, so that the people may continue to get their liquor the way they want it. Many of us may be glad General Johnson is quitting the NRA, but, what’s worse, he’s going, on a month's speaking, tours.-

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 ZSO words or lets.) a a a ENVISIONS TREND TOWARD WAR By Doubter. War in Europe seems to be only a matter of time. Preparations of Great Britain to train for defense against air raids, indicates the high tension prevailing. The addition of bombing planes to the royal air forces, to equal or excel other nations speaks of intentions, while gestures at Geneva merely indicate pretensions. “The Rhine is our frontier,” said Stanley Baldwin to parliament. How can any nation boast of civilization whose major objectives are conquest and destruction of the very essentials of civilization? The creation of additions to existing material wealth, speaks of refinement in civilization. To develop the aits and sciences to their utmost human perfection, for better standards of living for the masses, should be the outstanding characteristic of a boasted civilization. Western Europe, divided into nationalities, apparently is fixed to destroy the heritage of past ages in another bath of blood and arson. Stagnation of industry, poverty of the masses, fear, hatred, turmoil, are the products of the vicious nationalism of interdependent western nations.

We call the economic system of western Europe, with its social consequences, the ideal of capitalism. War, destruction, misery, are the ultimate ends of the system. Contrast the program of communistic Russia embracing eastern Europe and many nationalities, obliterating old boundary lines, with its program of conquest over the forces of nature for the enrichment of human life, to that of western Europe bent on destruction of life and property. Attitudes and objectives determine the value of any system. Perhaps a blood bath will be necessary for western Europe to fix its objectives on building civilization, instead of its destruction. The Russian program speaks for itself. Bogus democracy only fools the people.

CHANCE SEEN FOR LEACH TO REST Bv A Reader. The killing of Dillinger will settle several things in his home state. First of all, Captain Matt Leach, who has been devoting much of his time to chasing public enemy No. 1 to no avail, states: "I haven't had a day off since a year ago last month. Maybe I can take a week off now.” A few days ago Captain Leach reported that the Dillinger trail was cold, in fact, the press reported that the trail was so cold that several politicians in the uniform of state police were using it as a place to cool their heels during the heat wave. Despite the efforts of A1 Feeney, director of safety, to build an efficient nonpartisan police force, Captain Leach and Pleas Greenlee seem to have blocked successfully any movement to set up a force like the Tucson “hicks” or the federal operatives. The Governor, whose parole of Dillinger started thp amazing trail of crime which startled the world and whose removal of a nationallyknown warden, Mr. Daly, from the Michigan City prison with many trusted and experienced guards, permitted the escape of the gang which freed Dillinger from jail, no doubt will continue the reign of deterving. politicians.

Crop Reduction Declared Futile

By Realist. The program of crop reduction proceeds on the theory that a serreity of goods means that they become more valuable by denying the consumers the use of them. The object is to raise prices. Prices rise effectively when consumers have the tickets to absorb and consume the goods. Prices • fall when consumers do not have the tickets necessary to obtain raw materials or manufactured goods which they desire and need. Scarcity of tickets prevents consumption. We are blundering along, paying subsidies for not producing the goods which every one needs and w’ants. Sabotage never can create wealth. Tickets or money are not wealth. They are potential wealth. Only when they are exchanged for goods do they have any value. When we permit a group of

now that the people will forget his promise, “When we are through with the Dillinger case from Michigan City to Crown Point, we’ll have the entire truth before the people of Indiana.” Hoosiers, however, may not forget the disgrace of the wooden pistol and prison breaks so easily if crime conditions continue. We might suggest that the Governor send Captain Leach to Canada on his vacation. Perhaps there he might learn how the Northwest Mounted always gets its man. a a a OFFERS METHOD TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS. By W. C. F. Who is responsible for losses of depositors in closed banks? State inspectors receive salaries for inspecting the banks. Is the state responsible for their neglect? It may be the law that the state s not responsible, but is this justice? What could be more in line for recovery than for the banks to pay depositors? National government, the national banks, state government, state banks—if there is a loss, let the company that was supposed to protect make good. If the deposits have been stolen, it is up to the employer to prosecute the bankers and pay the depositors. This will put money in circulation by the owners. What if the Governor or state does lose? Who can they blame? Their hired man caused the lass. a a a RELIEF RECIPIENT PRAISES ACTION By Sherman Lon*. Those in charge of Center township relief are to be commended for one act of efficiency. Since I was one of the recipients, I feel a bit duty bound to offer the compliment, though I know that excess encouragement is just as detrimental as too much criticism. At the time of discontinuance of the civil works administration in the early spring, the workers all applied for the regular relief. Each one was supposed to have made new application. After this some of the applicants waited three or four days till the investigator could get around to make a useless repetition of those unprofitable investigations. Most of the men had been relief recipients for two or three years and had been investigated, some of them probably ten times or more, yet instead of renewing the old account, which would have been much better for all concerned, they went to the trouble of opening new accounts. After being dismissed from the

financiers to withhold tickets, which are the medium of exchange, to stifle consumption, w’e submit to autocratic anarchy. Since we are barking up the wrong tree, in subsidizing sabotage of production, we can reverse the program to stimulate consumption by subsidizing consumption. Those whose pay envelopes do not permit consumption on a basis which our production facilities are capable of creating, should be provided with the tickets by a subsidy. The government is destroying goods to create paper tickets. Let it create tickets to permit goods to be consumed by those who are deprived of this privilege through low’ w’ages and unemployment. Taxes can regulate the volume of outstanding tickets. Bankers have no right to create or withhold the money tickets. That’s a sovereign function.

federal emergency relief administration wage roll, I suspected that they would reinvestigate as usual, but, to my delight. I found that this was not so, so this time we got results the same day we applied. This is evidence that they are becoming more efficient. The relief recipients should be ever ready to encourage every move in their favor, and at the same time criticise or petition every act of which is to their disadvantage. a a a WHAT LAW DOES FOR RICH AND POOR By Helen Stewart. Your editorial of July 31 shnyou don't understand the attnu... the public in regard to John Diilinger. Who is public enemy No. 1? Not John Dillinger, who stole several thousands from banks and possibly slew a policeman. What about Samuel Insull? Both were wrong, but notice the difference. John Dillinger was slain by fifteen federal men, shot in the back. Samuel Insull was arrested by bowing and scraping officers, who conceded it was a crime to keep an old man in jail, so he was allowed to get out on bail. Such Is the fallacy of justice in this country. The government only has proved what we have known for a long time. There are two kinds of lawone for the rich and another for the poor. tt a a OPPOSES BETRAYALS TO CATCH CRIMINALS By A Rfider. In answer to William H.’s letter. I wish to express my opinion in the Dillinger case. Mr. H. seems to me a man who considers himself in a higher class. He says there are so many bad underworld men and women, and the best way they can serve society is to betray one another. I would not consider a man of that kind very highly educated or as one knowing much about the Bible. I do not think he stopped to realize that the betrayal kiss of Judas sent the Lord to his death. I suppose he would not consider that a sin. To betray someone who has been a friend, would be as great a sin as being a criminal. He says we should ask ourselves if it was necessary for Dillinger to kill. Perhaps it wasn’t. But on the other hand, let him ask himself if it is necessary for township trustees to keep families who own their

AUG. 2, 1934

own property and drive automobiles every day and let other men, w’omen and children starve. I personally know a trustee who does that. I sympathize with Dillinger and his family. a BELIEVES TRUTH ABOUT STRIKE SUPPRESSED By a Header. The retreat of the press associations in the San Francisco strike, smells rotten. The reactionary papers like Hearst’s, of course, may be expected to betray the workers for pieces of silver in advertising service to the merchant monarchs. Even the San Francisco News had to kotow to the royalists in that Heywood Broup's remarks about sending the “plutes” to where they came from, had to be pulled out of the second edition, when the Chamber of Commerce gang read it. W’e get all the news that is fit to print, from the viewpoint of our industrial barons, with plenty of mud color on labor's side of the picture. That the real Issues in San Francisco w’ere obscured so deliberately, and that the press and the minions of the law became effective strike breakers, won't readily be forgotten by the boys who took Roosevelt at his word about Section 7A of the recovery act. Even General Johnson, who soft-soaped the workers about forcing recognition on the employers, in less than twenty-four hours smashed the labor unions in the face by calling the strike civil war, and condoning the murders and assaults made by law “enforcement” officers. The hoodlums who raided labor headquarters were officers in civilian disguise. What a democracy Hitler could learn something here. Fascism has raised its head on the west coast. It seems to be a double deal instead of a New’ Deal.

So They Say

It is an insult to the American workman to assume that his allegiance can be bought for this sum or any sum.—Ernest T. Weir, steel executive. A hopeless, despairing generation of youth is a threat to sound national development.—George F. Zook, United States commissioner of education. We have made no plots with other peoples and we have simply to take care that plots of pthers not some day destroy the German people.—Chancellor Adolf Hitler. There is no longer any possibility of claiming that human beings are descended from any of the various ape types known to us.—Dr. Aie3 Hrdlicka, noted anthropologist. We can not do without the German mind. That is a riddle we still are trying to solve—H. G. Wells.
