All the way from shoes to automobiles, the
American worker is turning out more goods than
ever. He is doing it partly through his; awn in
creased efficiency, his willingness to adopt new
methods, and partly through the increased use of
the many different kinds of muchiowry.
There are those who can read a gloomy future
opt of this tendency; who can see a day when the
machine will force the worker out to an extent that
we shall have a surplus of man power; when the
machines will crowd the worker not up but down
the ladder.
But this new idea isn’t universal. Man is never
satisfied. As fewer workers are needed in one in
dustry, uew industries grow up demanding their
services. The man who made a tire yesterday may
tomorrow make a radio or an airplane or he may
produce something of which at this time we do not
dream.
The figure of man power and tires is hut one
of a series of nation-wide studies of individual out
put, just completed by the United States depart
ment of labor. They pover a wide range of indust
ries. Secretary James J. Davis announces that these
figures, comparing productivity of iahox for the
years 1014 and 1935, show these increases, stated
in percentages: automobiles, bodies and parts, 21Q
per cent; rubber tires and tubes, 211 per cent; pe
troleum refining, 77 per cent; cement manufactur
ing, 58 jier cent, steel mills, 54 per cent; iron and
steel, 60 per centj blast furnaces, 94 per cent; flour
milling, 39 per cent; slaughtering and meat packing,
27 per cent; pajier aud pulp, 33 per cent; cane sugar
refining, 27 per cent; leather tanning, 20 per oent;
boots and shoes, 16 per cent. -—

What the world is suffering from today, and
the United States is suffering from markedly, is a
recrudescence, a breaking out of an old wound,
which has scarred civilization from the very begin
ning.
We are turning out a certain percentage- of
young men and women who deliberately put them
selves outside the regular social order. They pro
pose to take and do take that which they desire,
without any regard whatever for the rights of others
or the law by which most of us regulate our con
duct for the common benefit of all. They shoot down
and kill people who have never so much as offered
a threat against their safety.
Not long ago a band of these wolves entered
and robbed a place. In doing, so they shot and
wounded the person in charge and he lay screaming
ing in agony while the robbers took .the money
from the till and departed. Vet, after the rohbers
were seated in an automobile and ready to leave,
one of the satanic progeny said, “ Wait till I go-
back and shut up t h a t ----------- . ” Whereupon, he
returned and killed the wounded man.
Not so much longer ago an innocent school boy,
unarmed and wholly inoffensive, was shot down in
the sjreet for the sake of a few dollars he had upon
his person.
These are examples.
The list of similar cold-blooded atrocities is a
long one, and rapidly growing longer.
Such a condition is intolerable and no nation,
no state, no city will long endure it. A remedy must
be applied and i t must be a sure -remedy. Thia is
not the first recrudescence of this kind in the his
tory of our civilization. It has cropped out at inter
vals down through the years. There have been
many experiments but only one remedy has been
found. People of this class know but one language,
but pne law, that is the law of violence. We must
meet violence with violenoe, death with death. It is
not a pleasant duty to advocate capital punishment,
but our social outlaws seem to understand that
better than anything else. It seems to be the one
deterrent of crime waves. The crook holds other
lives very cheaply, but his own is dear to him.
