y when these unions become politically obstreperous and
threaten the Jobs and the soft living of the high executives.
But t makes no difference what excuse he may find In the
constitution of the American Federation of Labor if that
constitution doesn't permit the national high command to
clean out the rodent underworld characters who infest his
organization, then it is up to the federation to revise its
constitution and elect some officials who are willing and
able to give a decent administration.
Green needs reminding that the A. F. of L. Is no sacred
cow. It has Us powers and privileges, but it also has Its
responsibilities to the membership and to the whole Ameri
can public. The nation doesn't have to take anything from
the A. F. of L and the cry of "labor baiting" has been
raised too often to discredit or silence legitimate protest
against the most atrocious indecencies. In one notorious
case a picket line has been maintained so long that it is
now a landmark, because a businessman refused to permit
a union official in his private capacity to dirty up the good
reputation of his house with an assignation. Rank and
file union members are freely and wantonly used by union
executives tor purposes of extortion, and only last summer
a hoodlum union attempted to take over a great and pros
perous union without the slightest pretense of consulting
the members and without any interference bv Mr. Green.
A roster of the officials of A. F. of L. unions presents a
number of candidates for a rogues' gallery, and if Mr.
Green wants names and facts he can get them from the
police of Chicago. Los Angeles, New York and St. Louis.
1 can give him some honeys myself.
The best thing Mr. Green can do for labor is to clean
up his own show or get out and let someone else do it.
And he needn't think that by quibbling over the question
whether he claims'' or "reports" 4.000.000 members he
can divert attention from the vicious conditions which
thrive under his presidency.
If he or someone else doesn't clean up the A. F. of L.
the government will have to do it in response to great
popular demand, including the demand of the rank and file.
Government control of labor is Foscism or Stalinism, but
If labor s own government can't meet its responsibilities,
then the public government will have to protect the public
from extortion, persecution, robbery, assault and murder
by criminal unloneers.
Now we are wondering if President Green can
afford to ignore a public challenge like thatl

Washington, Jan. 14. The
president may well be sur
prised by the congressional re
action to his economy propos

contemptuously, with the air of
a man m.kins a high poker
bet to call a weak bluff. Hip
reflection on their sincerity and
delight in thi-ir discomfiture
annoyed the lawmakers, and
now a large group are determ
ined to try to see him and
raise him one.
The leaders in this movement are
the Republicans and conservative
Democrat, the economy talkers
whom the president called on to
make good. They are already strenu
ously laboring not only to' hold all
appropriations within the llmlta of
the presidents budget recommenda
Uons, but also to take large slices
off his special national defense esti
mates. The president and' his advisers
operated on the theory that no one
would refuse money for national
defense. It now appears they were
wrong.
The navy's largo requests are under
particularly loud attack. Senator Wil
liam K. Borah has renewed hla former
onslaught on the proposed fortifica
tion of Guam. Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg doubts the wisdom of
putting over SSO.OOO.OOO recon

neutrality patrol. Senator Charles L.
McNary believes that before spending
money on the army and navy, we
should wait to see what the efrect

behind the current talk. It Is also
the reason why the president Is mo
bilizing his forces for the fight, and
la understood to have offered the
command to his ablest legislative
general, Senator James F. Byrnes.
The neutrality patrol, now under
attack by Senator Vandenberg, gives
the same pleasure to the president
that playing with trains does to some
other men. It has an extremely im
portant function to make sure that
belligerents are not up to any tricks
along our coasts. But for the presi
dent, with his love of the sea. the
patrol haa also become a sort of
hobby.
He follows the movements or all
the destroyers, coast guard vessels
and plane carriers that make up the
patrol, receiving almost every report
as It comes In. and complaining
when they do not reach him
promptly.
When a belligerent vessel Is being
followed by patrol boats, he some
times grows Interested In US course
and calls up the navy department
to ask for news.
And sometimes he plots patrol
movementa himself, end suggests an
order to Secretary of the Navy Charles
Edison or the chief of naval opera

Farmers in the four northwest

agricultural conservation and
range program payments, parity
payments and sugar payments,
W. E. Dodd, director of the
western division ol the agricul
tural adjustment administration,
informed Senator McNary (R.,j
Ore.) and Representative Knute
Hill (D., Wash.)
Washington led the way with
her 31,000 participating farmers
coming in for a total of $7,541,
222 while Idaho's sugar pay
ments to be made put her in
second place with a total of
$7,219,447. Oregon was third
with $5,788,700 and Utah fourth
with $2,794,849.
Dodd said the total payments
expected under the agricultural
conservation and range pro
grams in Washington would be
$4,953,000 with $3,101,540 al
ready paid by December 30.
He said parity payments already
made totaled $2,308,222 and es
timated sugar payments would
be $280,000.
The director said totaled con
servation and range payments
to Idaho's 23,000 participants
would be $3,446,000 with $2,
651,722 already paid. Parity
payments he said already
amounted to $1,723,447 while
sugar payments would amount
to $1,850,000.
Oregon's total conservation
and range program payments
were set at $4,121,000 for 31,000
farmers with $2,007,304 already
paid them. They also already
had received $1,467,700 in par
ity payments and would get
$200,000 in sugar payments.
Dodd said 3,058 wheat loans
had been made In Idaho on
5,438,518 bushels of wheat,

In The
News
By FRANK JENKINS
IEW taxes are rumored in
Washington. The stock mar
ket, which had been climbing,
FALLS.
THE cause and effect of it work
Taxes are a part (in these days
a highly important part) of the
cost of production. If cost of pro
duction rises, PROFITS WILL
FALL.
When profits fall, values fall.
1
f F you work for wages, you may
think you are not concerned
in this situation. Before Jumping
to such a conclusion, consider
this well-known fact:
It's hard to get a raise when
the boss is making no profit. It
is relatively easy when he is
making a good profit.
When honest bosses are mak
ing a legitimate profit, LABOR
FARES BEST.
ANOTHER-point:
Higher costs mean higher
prices. The higher the price, the
less people can afford to con
sume. High consumption means pros
perity. Low consumption means
hard times.
1
rON'T forget this:
If we're to go on spending
more and more, we must go on
taxing higher and higher.
The only safe way to cut taxes
is to cut spending. Spending un
accompanied by taxation means
ultimate inflation, repudiation
and ruin.

hoard (about 60 of the world's
gold supply) is an asset which Is
of LITTLE VALUE NOW and
whose value in the future is un
predictable." VUHY is the future value of our
immense gold hoard unpre

If you were playing store and

one boy GOT ALL THE CLAM

you do?
You'd probably start using
something else for money.

LEWIS LINK WITH
WHEELER HINTED
Washington, Jan. 13. (JP)
John L. Lewis created a new
political puzzle today with an
invitation to Senator Wheeler
(D., Mont.), a potential candi
date for the Democratic presi
dential nomination, to address
the golden anniversary conven
tion of the United Mine Work
ers at Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 23.
Politicians recalled that the
Mine Workers supported Presi
dent Roosevelt in the 1836 elec
tion as the "greatest humani
tarian of our times" and made
loans and contributions totaling
almost $600,000 to the Demo
cratic campaign organizations.
They wondered whether
Lewis' invitation, in which he
called Wheeler "one of the
most eminent of our contempo
rary statesmen" and asked him
to speak "upon such public
questions as you may consider
germane," might mean that the
C. I. O. chieftain would back
the westerner this year.

Ye Poets Corner
Our Giver
God gave us this earth,
And what it contains;
Such as our mountains.
Hills, Lakes, or Lanes.
He gave us the tree
With its stately form.
With its deep green leaves
In autumn worn.
He gave us our lakes
That mirror deep.
The snow-capped beauty.
Of a reflected peak.
He gives us our storms,
That aid, and plunder.
With flooding rain.
And bellowing thunder.
He gave us the bird
That sings and flies
He gave us a friend.
That lives and dies.
He gave us this earth,
To protect and raise;
So unto him above,
Lets sing our thanks and
praise.
