Vested Interests in Devices.
THE vested interest in the pinball operation is not just the
poolhall or restaurant proprietor-who may give it floor
space. The machines are owned and leased by syndi
cates Their manufacture is pretty well centralized in the
hands of one firm. The owners go as far as the local'condi
tions will permit. If pinball is. all that can be put over in a
.town, that machine goes in; if slot machines are -tolerated,
in go the slots. The syndicate managers keep tight control,
and of course get a large share of the loot Moreover, as
the Eugene Register-Guard points out, they escape air local
taxation, except for the trivial fee sometimes levied by city
councils against the boards. The Guard says: '
The public forgets the huge rakeoff which goes to the Big
Shots la the background. It forgets to put proper taxes on an
Industry which with practically no investment does a gross more
than halt as big as the largest utility company In Oregon which
pays over a million taxes annually."
. Naturally the syndicate operators will Hot take defeat
lying down So there will be a muster of high-powered attor
neys to defend the devices when they are attacked in court by
Assistant General Moody. The latter is fully competent to
join the issue before the courts with them; and is no doubt
avrare of, the character of the opposition which, will confront
hira. . - -: 'A
k .lln the case of theatre bank night, this scheme was
worked out by some men in Denver, operators of a small
theatre, who wanted to stimulate patronage. They believe
they have worked out a scheme which will escape laws against
lottery Jay working out of a charge for- direct consideration.
Whether that will hold in Oregon is the question to be tested.
The bank night idea is copyrighted, and theatres oper
ating under it are reported to pay $25 a night for the priv
- ilege. The Denver owners of the copyright are said to be
cleaningvup $30,000 a year on the operationNaturally they
will not be put out of business without a bitter fight. "
All this promotion roots in the desire of the-human.an-inial
to get something for nothing. He wants to profit with
out work, even at the expense of some one else. History has
long demonstrated the social evil of gambling and of public
lotteries. They prey on the. weak; they give distorted ideas of
wealth, and distribute wealth" with the greatest unfairness.
Moreover as is the" case with slot' machines, the poor fool who
plays them scarcely has a chance,-the winnings being merely
loot for the operators. As the cases over pinball machines and
bank night are now in court, this paper -offers no comment as
to whether they are illegal or not ; but it does recognize the
hard court fight which lies ahead before they will be prohib
ited, if illegal. ."- -- : -; .

The papers do not say so, but the- inference is clear that

as xommoners. But if Olson passes now, much more passes.

Minnesota. He is the spearhead of the current political move

The movement will go on, though perhaps the name
will be different. The LaFollette brothers run Wisconsin

national prominence to head the nascent party. And they

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.--The
struggle between the old America
Federation et Labor, and the new
"committee lor
Industrial organ

need to be un
dent o o d by
those who try to
follow the polit
ical - campaign
with adequate
knowledge ot aU
the factors.: -Ordinarily
this
I struggle within
Mi'tMiu the field would
hare no relation to politics.
Looked at as a labor and indust
rial matter only. It Is 'a conflict
between two types of labor un
ion. The existing American Fed
eration of Labor believe" la craft
unions, that Is, unions which take
in the-members of a trade all.orer
the country. For example the mt-
chlnlsts' union takes in machin
ists In every Industry and plant,
wherever they happen to be. And
so with the carpenters' union and
all the others. Thus in any plant
or Industry there" may be several
different unions,- though all ar
In" affiliation with the American
Federation of Labor. ;
On the other hand, the new
C.I.O. proposes there shall be one
union for each industry. Within
any automobile plant, all employ
ees, skilled and- unskilled, would
belong to one union. This, In turn.
would be. part of a union of all
automobile workers in all auto
mobile plants. It It a "mass un
ion", conception, a "one big un
ion' conception. .
So'far as the conflict is confin
ed within the field of labor. If; is
a difference of opinion about tech
nique, about which, type of organ
ization Is best. The, old A.F. of I,
under President William Green,
is organized along the lines of
craft unions. The A.F. of L. lead
ers think the mass type of union
Is unsuited to most industries.
They have seen, during 75 years,"
many attempts to organize -labor
on thevone big union pattern and
they hare seen these fall. Mean
time they have seen the AJT. of L
based chiefly on craft : unions.
maintain Itself and grow.
uui me, eomiict is not merely
within organised labor- nor be
tween labor leaders. The organ
izer of the new committee on in
dustrial organization. John L-
Lewis. is a strong partisan of
President Roosevelt and the new
deal. His favor for Mr. Roosevelt
Is frank and outspoken; it is made
deliberately conspicuous. It is
taken for granted he will deliver
to. Mr. Roosevelt much of the
large vote of miners in the doubt
ful states of Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Illinois. -
That the administration apprec
iates" Mr.' Lewis support 'e o e s
without saying. But gratitude U
not theonly reason why many in
tne administration favor Mr. Lew
is' new C.I.O. : ., - J; .'
Some in; the administration
dream of a labor , party in Am
erica, to have the same Important
piace in politics tbat labor part
ies havfc in some European coun
tries. Such a party would supplant
or absorb the present democratic
party.' Those who dream- a- labor
party la America think that Mr.
Lewis' new C.I.O., If successful.
would be the nucleus of it. Con
sequently they favor Mr. Lewis In
his present struggle against the
American Federation of Labor.
- Some of the more radical with
in the administration dream some
thing .even broader than a labor
party. They contemplate, "as Erof-
essor Tugwell put it In a speech
at-Los Angeles last October, "a
farmer-worker alliance in this
country "which will carry an be
fore it" they dream a wholly new
form of society analogues to -the
Russian one. They dream a form
of society in -which only -workers
and farmers shall be recognized.
in wnicn mere shall be no private
ownership of Industry .or business.
In which the functions now car
ried -on by . private business men
and corporations shall be carried
on by the government. Those who
dream thus think that jar. Lew
is C.I.O.. If successful, would be
a step toward the goal they aim
I It would be hard to say how far
Mr. Lewis goes along with the
radicals within the administration.
Ljiis ideas may not coincide with
theirs to any great extent. . He
may aim -merely I towards a new
big and powerful union of labor,
and toward beating down the ex
isting American Federation ef
Labor. At the same time.- Mr.
I Lewis is very ambitious and ag
gressive, even rutniess. it is pos
sible he may to some extent share
the dream of the. radicals In the
administration: He is close to
leading figures in the administra
tion. . In . any event. In . the present
struggle between Mr. Lewis new
C.LO. and the old American Fed
eration of Labor, much of the ad
ministration is sympathetic to Mr.
Lewis and ;his C.I.O. Practically
all thorough-going new dealers
think of the old American. Fed
eration as an old fashioned, anti
revolutionary, conservative organ
ization which is content with the
existing order of society and has
no purpose beyond getting for
labor a constantly larger share ot
the fruits of industry. "
While many within the admini
stration favor Mr. Lewis' C.I.O.,
their sympathy, so far is kept be
neath the surface. They keep in
mind the presidential campaign.
They want the votes of both wings
of labor for. Mr. Roosevelt and
they wish, to aroid giving open
cause for offense to the old Am
erican Federation. Until after the
election, the administration policy
is to walk a tight rope between
the contending organizations. But
there can be little doubt where
the sympathy of the administra
tion lies. One person high in 'the
administration recently took an
extraordinary- step designed to
help Mr. Lewis C.LO. in its ef
fort to displace the American
Federation. With the struggle as
tense as it is between C.I.O. and
the A.F. of L.. attempts to appear
neutral wll be difficult. -

Health
By Royal 8. CopeLand, fiXJX
m ,lT3 quarterly' bulletin, .the
department of health of JLhe CJty of
New York reports an unexpected
prevalence of measles during; the
present ' year. Throughout- the
country it baa been noticed that
tvi number of cases ' reported . Is
considerably higher, than the average.-
:
I am always unhappy over an
unusual prevalence of this disease.'
In spite of the universal belief that
it is an unimportant disease,
measles is -a serfous ailment . of
childhood. It is wise to guard
against this menace, but of all the
common "catching" diseases of
children, measles Is the most difa
cult to controL :.
Few realize the Importance of
measles as a cause of death. Too
often It is accepted as something
trivial. But experts say that the
number of deaths ; caused - by
measles is actually three times
treater than the official figures.
This conclusion is founded on the
fact that three-fourUui of the
deaths from pneumonia are found
in the age group, of children under
Ave years of age. We must recall,
too, that pneumonia Is a common
complication of measles. So if each
of these deaths were investigated,
it Is probable that measles would
be found as the primary factor in
a 'vast number of instances..
; Hay Prove Serioos)
" Never set about It deliberately
to expoae a child to measles. Bear
tri mind that an ailment which may
appear as a trivial illness in one
child may terminate seriously in
another. There is no truth in the
old-fashioned Idea that every child
must have measles.
- i The child who gets It should' be
isolated and kept away from
others. He should not be permitted
to play with, other 'children until
his symptoms have disappeared. If
a child has been exposed to measles
it is well immediately to consult
the doctor. !
- Often the Injection of the blood
of one who has recently had the
disease, or the blood from either
parent, win help make the attack
mild and prevent complications.
Unfortunately, this procedure ta of
little value la controlling the
spread of the disease.
Everyone should be familiar with
the early signs of measles. As a
rule the young sufferer first has
symptoms similar to -a head cold.
He complains of Inflamed eyes and
has a slight cough and fever. The
disease Is most contagious at this
time and la usually overlooked until
the rash appears. This does not
come out until about the sixth or
seventh day. The rash is first seen
along the sides of the face, behind
the ears and ra the neck, v - . -'
The child should be kept fat bed,
with the eyes protected from glar
ing lights. Make sure the room Is
properly ventilated. Encourage
the little patient to eat simple, but
nourishing foods.

MISREPRESENTATION
Once more, in the midst v of a

has announced that no increase la
taxes la contemplated or needed.
Secretary Morgentbau makes the
official statement 'that , "we are
steadily approaching a' -revenue

of government and to reduce the
public, debt.
- What are the facts! According
to -the latest official statement of
the United States treasury, tax re
ceipts during the first two ihonths
and ten days of the current fiscal
year have been about 10 per cent
higher than la the same period
last year. But total expenditures
are still almost $2 for every $1 of
receipts-a figure which is not at
first apparent from the daily trea
sury statement because the depart
ment has set oft as credits against
"recovery and relief expendi
tures" loans- and other advances
made by the R. F. C, the Com

other lending agenclea which are
now being repaid. The actual ex

tor the period July 1 to August 10
were $428,000,000, as compared
to last year's figure tor the same
period of $445,750,000. This Is
a reduction ot about $18,000,000.
