Thursday, July'28, 1938 AUGUST Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday SUNDAY Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday SUNDAY 14 291 30 31 On Capitol Hill By GEORGE L. KNAPP Clashes Expected in Monopoly In vestigation Personnel of the Committee "Biff Business" Is Not Pleased With the Outlook. Washington is looking for fireworks in the monopoly investigation—but not yet. The loud cry that this must not be a "witch hunt" will make the New Dealers on the committee careful not only to be fair to monopolized indus tries but to seem so. l)ut since it is totally impossible to be fair to the pub lic and at the same time give the monopolies what they want, the clash is sure to come and the sparks to ily. By the way, it will be a decided help to labor readers, who have a large stake in this matter to print the list of the committee. Senators: Borah of Idaho, King of Utah, O'Mahoney of Wyoming. R«ju.vse,"tatives': Reece of Tennes see, Hamilton Sumners of Texas, Eich er of Iowa. In each case, the Republi can is named first. From executive commissions depart ments: Thurman Arnold of Justice, Lubin of Labor, Patterson of Com merce, Oliphant of Treasury, Douglas of SEC, Ferguson of FTC. Executive Secretary, Leon Hender son. None of the Congressional group has the reputation of Black, Wheeler and La Follette for skillful and mer ciless cross examination though O' Mahoney is young enough to win that standing if he wants it. But there are several men from the executive branches who are not in the habit of letting any fact they want slide away from them. -K Labor has an intense interest in this investigation. After all, it is a ques tion whether business will lower prices when demand slackens or lay off workers and monopoly always does the last. Big Business doesn't like the pros pect. A book is just out which ap parently was written to meet this in vestigation, deploring any attempt to spread competitive prices. "Regu lative competition," it says, "seeks to restore something which has never existed in most modern industry." And it takes much comfort in the saying that "monopolies which come within the definition of the Supreme Court are of very narrow importance." Seeing that the Supreme Court found no monopoly in a sugar combin ation wljich managed more than 90 per cent of the sweetening of the country, or a shoe machinery combination quite as extensive, the last statement has some basis. But the Supreme Court has reversed itself several times in the last year and a half. 394,085 MEALS SERVED TO SEAMEN IX 6 MONTHS New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS).—The Seamen's Church Institute announced that during the first six months of 1!)38 the Institute's luncheonette, cafe and restaurant served 304,085 meals to seamen and other marine workers. In addition, the Institute, whose head quarters arc at 25 South Street, through its credit bureau, made 6,075 loans to 4,7G5 seafarers to tide them over periods of unemployment and gave medical treatment to 1,793 patients in its clinic. On one of the huge murals for the 1939 Golden Gate International Expo sition will be one of the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, ninth verse, fifth chapter of Matthew, which reads: "Blessed are the peacemaker?. for they shall be called the children of God."

(OLNS).—The 12,818 claims filed with the Ohio Industrial Commission during June were 451 less than the previous month, while fatali ties in industrial mishaps dropped from 82 to 74. According to the report of Superin tendent Thomas P. Kearns of the Division of Safety and Hygiene, this is a sharp reduction in number of claims and fatalities over the same month of 1937, when 20,508 claims were filed, including 89 fatalities. While this reduction in claims and fatalities is in a large measure due to slack business conditions and de creased employment- improved safety practices and education is also a fac tor. Commercial employment and public employe classifications reported 12 death claims each during June min ing 9 construction 8 metal goods 7 clay, glass and stone products and foods and beverages, 4 each lumber and wood products, clerical and pro fessional and custodians 3 each paper and printing, 2 blast furnaces, steel works, rolling mills and ore refining, assembling and erecting machinery, machinery manufacture, quarries and stone crushing, transportation and utilities, 1 each.

But they only cause imagination, And harm us all in time. "I am" are words that hurt us. We think we are the best, We give no credit to those who help u.?, Just me, and forget the rest. You may be doing swell to-day, And maybe so tomorrow, But when things turn the other way, To whom do you take your sorrow. So man or women, rich or poor, In that which you seceed, Never think that you are more Than those whose help you need. —JOSEfH H. CALING. ROOM NO. 4 Local Union No. Ififl. Local Union No. 124.

HOMES COST TOO MUCH FOR LOW-WAGE WORKERS Home ownership is continually stressed as being the basic element in contributing to good citizenship and love of country. But the analysis of reports comprising the thirty-first semi-annual market survey recently completed by the National Association of Real Estate Boards indicates that the cost of homes is still far beyond the financial ability of the hundreds of thousands of workers commonly classified as the "low-income groups." The reports "revealed that new houses costing less than S'4,0C0 are practically non-existent in three fourths of the major cities of the country and in 24 per cent of all cities, including some in every population group. Many cities, the reports revealed, still have very little to show in homes costing less than $4,000, but dwellings in that price class have constituted nearly one-third of the single-family residential units constructed in the nation this year. Although three out of every ten of the nation's new homes built this year have been in this lower price range, this tla^s of home was found to be erected less and less fre quently as the size of tiit reporting cities increases.

South's Low Incomes Are National Burden Atlanta, Ga. liLNSj.— National prosperity of a stable and sustained sort is an impossibility as long as an area as large as the southeastern por tion of the United States is low in wealth and low in the incomes of its people, said Dr. S. M. Derrick, econ omist of the University of South Car olina, in speaking before a convention of economists here. Similar views were expressed by other leading economists who were in attendance. Low income was accepted as the worst of the South's ills, with the view that it is the root of most of the other ills. At the same time, it was held that living costs in the South are approximately equal to the same costs in other parts of the country. Dr. Derrick proposed a five point program, starting with modifications in tariff rates, and including continu ation of subsidies to agriculture, ad justment of freight rates to parity with other parts of the country and Federal support of education. Criticizes Quibbling "There is a tendency among our statesmen to quibble and fight over non-essentials," said Dr. G. W. Fors ter of the North Carolina State Col lege. "They are not yet willing to determine the facts and, on the basis of these, to work together in the for mulation of a comprehensive national program. "Until they are willing to do this, there is little hope for the South's problem, or for the solution of any other regional problem." W. E. Garnett, Virginia Polytech nic Institute sociologist, said his studies "confirm the President's state ment that the South is the nation's No. 1 economic problem." He cited "human erosion" as the result of "overproduction, low incomes and marginal standards of Hving." "Human erosion is equally as grave a problem in all the Southern States as soil erosion," Mr. Garnett declared. "Before there can be sound State and national development, the South's hu man erosion-producing conditions must be corrected." Steel operations the week begin ning July 5 were 44 per cent higher than those of the previous week. Does anyone imagine there has been that quick a change in orders? If so, why shouldn't steel cut its prices some more? DEAD SURE "I tell you v.c'iL living ii: a fast age." "Right \uu are. k actually makes a taxi hustle to keep up with a hearse these days.—Awgwan.

(ILNS).—The Philco Radio and Television Corpora tion, of Philadelphia, and the Zenith Radio Corporation, of Chicago, have entered into stipulations with the Fed eral Trade Commission to discontinue certain representations in the sales of their products which are declared to be misleading. Each company agrees to cease using or placing in the hands of retailers or others for their use, without proper qualifications, certain advertising mat ter featuring a purported price figure, either independently or in connection "with a pictorial representation of or ahv 'allusion to a radio, so as to imply that the set to which such figure re fers can be obtained by a purchaser for the price designated, or that the purchaser can obtain the benefit of the featured price without additional cost to him, when such is said not to be a fact. According to the stipulation, the advertised radio in each instance was not obtainable at retail for the fea tured price alone, but the purchaser was required to buy additional equip ment at extra cost in order to obtain the benefit of such price. This fact was not properly and conspicuously disclosed in the advertising, according to the stipulation. —FOR County Auditor SITELTON J.
