People of all ages labored through long hours without limit and for compensation wholly Inade quate. It took many years and a great increase in the labor population, even idleness and want, to bring about organiza tions that might accomplish the necessary reforms. "When labor organizations were beginning to get results, they seem suddenly to have ob tained rival unions in perfect disagreement," Reames said. "The rank and file of labor will have to straighten -out this dif ficulty for its own good. It should do it soon while public opinion still is strong for the cause of labor. "We went through the sit- down strikes" in which "the strikers legally could have been ousted from their seats by the force of arms with the shedding of blood," Reames stated, and asked. "Will there be any can didate for the presidency in the coming campaign who will now urge that this should have been done?" In 1938 when the question of sit-down strikes was before the senate", Reames related that "a distinguished senator said to me that the lack of industry results from the fact that business is on a sit-down strike, which was a very ape statement." "The right of business to en gage In a sit-down strike has not been determined by the su preme court," Reames said. Business undoubtedly has a right to conduct its affairs with out interference by the govern ment, but this must be done in harmony with the time and the conditions as they then shall exist. Labor's Friends Needed Perhaps we can progress; perhaps we can, with labor's consent, prevent strikes until the matter has been submitted to and determined by competent government authority. Perhaps we can provide that while this matter is being determined the industry shall proceed with its business, pay its labor as before and await a final early judg ment which will determine the matter as of the date when it was put before the government board for determination. Labor could retain its right to strike; the employer could take the legal remedies provided for re view or appeal. "I make the appeal to have these changes, whatever they are, made by friendly hands. I do not believe that the neces sary changes can easily be ac complished except by labor's friend. I do not mean that the government must be turned ov er to labor any more than to capital, but the problem is one for co-operation. Both sides are responsible for many of the dif ficulties. It looks like there is too much money being handled in the solution of the contro versies to make for tranquillity. "The present system over looks the fact that the public has rights involved. It seems to be the innocent bystander whose property is destroyed in the settlement of the differences between the parties. Neither has the right to make the innocent suffer and public opinion al ways strongly will support a solution that will protect the public." Speaking of the coming cam paign the speaker predicted that whoever shall be elected presi dent will be one who will carry out the humanitarian policies of the administration. Says G. O. P. Lacks Plans "None of the Republicans who have been mentioned for this office has any plan to ac complish anything except to oc cupy the office," Reames said. "So far as can be seen," the speaker observed sarcastically "Republican candidates for the office are the only ones who have said to the president 'Here's your hat, what's your nurryr "If the president wants his name on the ballot, it should be there. If he doesn't, it ought e Relief Store's First Sale (Vsi irl'f 0 : H'J-i : If - tL k til Mrs. Robert Nichols and her son s shows registering their first purchase to ih first Californi-ponsor4 co-operal-ing consumers' output store opened in Los Angelet in a pro-duciion-for-use relief program, Mrs. Nichols is handing her record purchase book to Cashier L.

It is not a year in my opinion for a preferential elec tion. The president is in the situation occupied by Jackson when Jackson's term expired he can name his successor if he will. Let's co-operate with him in every possible way." DECElERllI N JACKSONVILLE Jacksonville, Jan. 9.

They were revealed by the director of munitions production to the ministry of supply. Up and down the country manufacturers of every descrip tion are turning available ma chinery to the manufacture of arms without interfering more than is necessary with their own trade, The manufacture of war materials and munitions has been spread out in this way over the entire eounify so that the after-war industry will not be crippled. This is part of a vast pre war scheme. In many cases the manufacturers are turning out arms far ahead of schedule. The director also stated that British arms makers have im proved on a German machine which cosild turn out a shell In 45 minutes, FIRST CHRISTIAN TO WELCOME lie The Rev. R. W.

"Party regulars who want to win must hold their allies and supporters among those inde pendent voters and don't let us forget it." Motives First Again putting "motives" above political ties, the president said Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson, Lincoln and Jackson were aii heroes to him because they "did a job which had to be done. "Moti'e in the long run Is what counts motive accompan ied by good manners," he said "If leaders have good motives and good manners and, at the same time, knowledge of the different parts of the country and plenty of experience, you can be fairly safe in assuming that they won t wreck your gov eminent. Those in the audience who were looking for clues about Mr. Roosevelt's political thoughts considered that sen tence a possible recipe for a Democratic presidential candi-1 date. Even though he did not: discuss the approaching cam-: paign directly, he included in his salutation to ihe 110 guests:: "Candidates here and candi-: dates there ' Farley Gives Hint National Chairman James A. Farley, who introduced Mr. Roosevelt, came closest to an nouncing his own presidential candidacy when, his bald head gleaming a tomato red under the Klieg lights, he said with a broad smile: "Fellow candidates, ladies and gentlemen." Homer Cummings, former at torney general end chairman of the dinner, noted he was sur rounded "by presidential possi bilities and presidential improb abilities, and introduced vice- president Garner as "a salty personality. Garner, who Is an announces! candidate for president, was next to Mr, Roosevelt, and pull ed his famous stunt of mussing the president's hair as he sat down amid applause after ac knowledging the introduction. He declined to make a speech, All the speakers, including the president, expressed good natured wonderment as to why Senators McNary and Austin and Representative Martin, He publican leaders, had not ac cepted free invitations to the dinner. "Why didn't our guests: come?" Mr. Roosevelt asked j solemnly. "1 guess the real! reason is that, like the small: boy, they didn't want to go to heaven with this bunch." Optimists of 1829 The president received his greatest applause when he de clared: "Most of those who complain now were the shouting optimists of 1S29. "I do not believe that the American people who swallow ed that canned optimism in 1928 will swallow canned pessimism in 1940 particularly out of the same can." Partisan squabbles, he assert ed, were " bit drab" in the light of world conditions. He added that the people of the United States recognize two facts today. The first, he said. is that the world outside this hemisphere "Is in really bad shape," "The second, he continued, s I' r "1 that w have made great gain t home in our own eco nomic prosperity and in the se curity of our individual citizens.

BUS Eu rope's war has stretched its in fluence far out tats the Pa cific, completely isolating Pit- cairn island, settled 158 years ago by mutineers af the ill- starred British warship Bounty. According to the National Geographic society, steamers no longer ply routes near the small, rockbound island. Boat service was discontinued is fear of German submarine or s raider attacks. Pitcairn, with Us population of 200, lies in ihe south Pa cific, between Australia and South America. It is about 3,500 miles west of Antofsgasts Chile. - : Shipment of 2,000 cases ef oranges annually to New JSea-: land appears to he Piles trn's most substantia! trade, accord ing to the geographic society. But the society added that the island's "more varied end color ful trade is a haphazard barter" with ships that lie-to in Bounty harbor. The islanders raise goats. chickens, turkeys and ducks; but no cows, pigs ar horses. Potatoes, yams, beans, toma toes, pumpkins, muskmelons, watermelons, pineapples, coco nuts and various fruits are pro duced in abundance. Pitcairn was settled ta 1?8S by nine Bounty mutineers who brought with thesis Polynesian wives from Tahiti, 1,300 miles northwest. Baring the time between settlement and 1829 when the last ef the mutineers died the island's history was marked by bloody insurrections ana assassinations.

The debt position of farmers has improved considerably since 1935, the report compiled by the bureau ef agricultural eco nomies said. Land values have increased and the total farm real estate debt has declined ta the lowest point la 30 years. During the year ended last March 1, only 18.8 of every 1,000 fans owners tost their land through forced sales, fore closure and tax sales. This com pared with 17.4 farms the pre vious year and 28.3 in the year ended March 1, 19SS, when fore closures started to beeome less frequent. Most of the forced sales last year were due to mortgage fore closures, bankruptcy or trans fers of titles to avoid foreclos ures. The bureau reported 13.4 farms in each 1,000 changed hands because of those diffi- . culties. In 1335 the number was 21 per 1,000 farms. The number of fortes! sales en account of delinquent taxes was 3.4 per 1 000 last year, com pared with ?J ta 19SS.
