MOMMY DEAR'S
EXAMPLE
J. ELLEN BAKER'
"Mommy dear, tell me a story—
Something you did when you were a
little girl." Janie climbed into the
sleepy-hollow chair with her mother,
her bright blue eyes eager with inter
est and anticipation. "Something you
feally and truly did, Mommy."
"Well, dear, arc you quite sure you
will not be fast asleep before I have
finished?" asked Mrs. Tiffany, a§ she
gently stroked the curly locks of her
little daughter.
Her thoughts Hew back to the time
when she too wanted to hear true
stories from her mother, principally
about things that happened when the
Yankees invaded the South. No, she
nad no war story for Janie. Her story
began:
"One day, when I was about your
size, 1 walked into the dining room
just before lunchtime. 'Mother, may I
have a biscuit?' I asked.
"Your grandmother turned and se
lected the lightest, fluffiest one on the
plate and handed it to me, saying,
'Will you have butter or jelly, dear?'
'No, just the biscuit, please.'
"This had happened so often, during
the past week or two, that my
mother's interest was aroused. She
watched me go into the vegetable
garden and take my seat by a row of
young onions that were just a few
inches high, tender and pungent. I
would pull up one at a time, remove
the outter leaves, and proceed to eat
the tender shoots with my biscuit. As
soon as the biscuit had vanished I was
ready to resume my play. No, I was
not hungry at lunchtime!"
Mrs. Tiffany smiled and sighed. "It
Seems but yesterday that I was
child, back in the old home," she mur
mured to herself. Janie was almost
asleep.
Nothing more was thought of
Mommy dear's story until a few days
later.
"Mommy dear," came from little
Janie, "may Baby Ruth and I go to see
Grandmother? We will come home the
minute you telephone for us."
Mrs. Tiffany readily consented, for
it was a daily occurrence to go to
Grandmother's. The very sight of the
home made the children hungry, for
was~alwaj3| something good
waiting for them.- "Just tell your
grandmother I'll be over a little later,"
she said.
But when Mrs. Tiffany entered the
beloved living room of her old home
her mother was sitting erect in the
ladderback chair, her eyes snapping
with indignation. Two little girls sat
opposite her, eyes lowered, fingers
twisting the sashes of their dresses
"Daughter," Grandmother an
nounced, speaking with unsmiling
lips, as she arose and moved toward
the outer door, "just se what Janie
and Ruth have done. My little spring
onions! Pulled up by the roots! Rows
and rows of them!"
Mommy dear smiled, but with gen
uine chagrin. Janie and Ruth had fol
lowed in her footsteps much too re
alistically. Thereafter, her true stories
were chosen with much greater dis
cretion.
JOKE ON HIM
In a badly-lit cafe, seafaring men
smoked and drank their rum. Sudden
ly a huge man burst through the
doors.
"Is there anyone here called Peder
son?" he roared.
No one spoke. A few customers
began to edge their way uneasily to
wards the door.
"Is there anyone here called Peder
son?" he demanded again.
A very small, timid man rose from
a table in one corner and said: "Yes
my name is Federson. Who wants
me?"
"Oh, so you're Pcderson, are ybu?"
growled the man-mountain. "I've a
debt to settle with you
He strode across the room, picked
up the little man with one hand and
battered him senseless with the other,
He then dropped him on the floor and
left the cafe.
Twenty minutes later the little
man recovered consciousness, got up
painfully, smiled, and feebly said
aloud: "I thought I could fool him
Mv name's not Pederson."
une To See 140,000
Moved From Slums!
Approximately 20,000 Units
To Be Completed By
That Time
Washington, D. C.—More than 140,
000 persons will have been removed I
from slums into USHA-aided low-rentl
public housing projects by next June,I
is was estimated today by Nathan]
Straus, Administrator of the Unitedl
States Housing Authority. And all ofl
them will be paying monthly rentals!
for new, safe and sanitary homes thafcl
will be approximately the same thejrI
were compelled to pay for substand-l
ard dwellings, or even lower, he as-|
serted.
Approximately 20,CC0 dwelling unitfl
in projects constructed in the present
USHA slum-clearance program will
have been completed by June, Mr.
Straus said. He estimated that ah
average of 2,300 families, or 9,200 per
sons, will be moved each month into
projects reaching completion during|
the first six months of the year.
The approximately (W.OCO personal
who will have new and decent homes
by next June in projects constructed
in the present USHA program will
augment about 71,000 men, women]
and children of low-income families
now living in
40
public housing pro­
jects built by the PWA Housing Di
vision and turned over to the USHA.
Approved monthly rentals fori
USHA-aided projects average about
$19.75, including charges for utilities
such as water, heat, gas and elec
tricity. Without these extras, the)
average shelter rent is about $15.00 a
month. The monthly shelter rents!
average as low as $6.59 for a complete
home in the South to a top of $20.50
for a dwelling in the North.
With more than 41,000 USHA-aided I
dwelling units scheduled to go under
construction during the first six
months of the current year, there will
be a total of about 106,000 either un-|
der construction or completed by the
end of June, Mr. Straus announced.
This will be approximately 70% of|
the total of 160,000 decent low-rent
homes for low-income families that
are projected in the current USHA
program.
At the present time in the USHA
slum-clearance and low-rent housing]
program, there are 195 projects either]
under construction or completed and
designed to provide safe and sanitary
homes for 74,451 low-income families
now living in unfit habitations. By the
end of June an additional 91 projects]
will be under way.
The 41,000 USHA-aided dwellings to]
go under construction during the first
six months of 1940 will provide direct
employment at the sites for about
117,900 men. Their wages will amount
to about $57,700,000. Construction ma-|
terials will cost around $71,800,000.
Volume of construction, so import
ant to general business recovery and
stabilization, contributed by the
USHA slum-clearance program stands
out in bold relief, Mr. Straus asserted,
alongside the residential construction
by private capital and enterprise. He
pointed out that statistics compiled by
the United States Department of La
bor show that the total number of
dwelling units of all types for which
building permits were issued in the
United States last year was 465,000.
Of these, 54,941 were homes in 150
USHA-aided public housing projects
put into construction in 1939.
The current USHA program will
include about 435 projects in approxi
mately 200 communities. To date,]
USHA loan contracts totaling $630,
911,000, representing 90% of a $701,-]
532,000 total estimated cost of 398
projects, have been approved for 180
communities. Commitments, including]
loan contracts and earmarkings, for]
projects in the present program now
total $676,895,000, which is within less
than $20,000,000 of funds available]
for loaning under the present Con
gressional authorization.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
With the completion of the 435 pub
lic housing projects in the current
USHA program, it is estimated that
approximately 512,COO building trades
jobs will have been provided on the
sites in about 200 communities. Wages
for this work will total around $225,
000,000. Approximately $28O,CO0,CC0
also will be expended for construction
materials for the 160,000 new fit
homes to be provided for low-income]
American families at rentals they can
afford to pay.
The current slum-clearance and law
rent public housing program would be]
virtually doubled by an amendment to
the United States Housing Act to au
thorize additional USHA loan funds
which is now pending in Congress.

TRANSFER BUC
TRUST FUNDS
Columbus, O. (OLNS).—Transfer
of $7,752,265.88 from Ohio's $141,
271,366.40 unemployment compensa
ton trust fund to the Federal railroad
unemployment insurance fund has
been proposed to the Social Security
Board by officials of the Ohio Bureau
of Unemployment Compensation.
Railroad workers were insured un
der the Ohio unemployment compensa
tion law prior to June 30, 1939, when
the railroad unemployment insurance
act, passed by Congress, bccame ef
fective.
Under provisions of the Federal
act, contributions to state unemploy
ment insurance funds by railroad
companies during 1936, 1937,1938 and
up to June 30, 1939, less benefits paid
to railroad workers during periods of
unemployment, were ordered transfer
red to the railroad unemployment in
surance fund.
The Ohio Legislature passed a con
forming act to permit the transfer of
funds and worker insurance accounts
Ohio BUC officials said that the
transfer involves dropping 95 inter
state railroad employer acccounts and
approximately 75,OCO railroad work
ers, an estimated 5% ol' the total
number of covered workers under the
Ohio unemployment compensation law,
and less than .2 of one per cent of
the contributing employer accounts.
253 Employers Violate
N. Y. Compensation Law
Albany, N. Y.—Miss Frifeda S.
Miller, State Industrial Commissioner,
reported that 285 New York City em
ployers were criminally prosecuted
during March for neglecting to carry
workmen's compensation insurance
which is mandatory under State legis
lation. Of this total, 253 convictions
were obtained with fines aggregating
$1,724.
PROTECTIVE MEASURE
The union shop is not a device to
compel workers to join a union. It is
a protective measure adopted by
workers to prevent employers from
destroying advantages gained by union
organization. Union workers have
establi-hcd by their combined efforts
high American standards of living and
work. They refuse to work side by
side with non-union men because thej
arc determined to maintain and im
prove their working and living stand
ards.—William Green.
BECHT RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT
Lima, Ohio. (OLNS).—John Becht,
President of the Lima Central Labor
Union, has resigned as head of the
Central Body, due to his increased
duties as Secretary of the Building
Trades Council. Alvin Garlock, Vice
President, succeeded Becht as Presi

Court Of Appeals
Reversed In Death
Widow To Receive Award
For Death of Salesman In
jured In His Home
Columbus, O. (OLNS).—The Court
of Appeals of the Third District has
been reversed by the Ohio Supreme
Court in a decision in the case of
Ethel Outland against the Industrial
Commission for a death award for the
loss of her husband.
Omar Outland, an automobile sales
man in Bellefontaine, on Christmas
Eve, 1934, started for his apartment
to obtain his auto keys and prospect
book, having told his wife and daugh
ter that he was going to see a pros
pect. When the daughter returned
home later she found Outland dead at
the foot of the stairs from a frac
tured skull.
The Commission denied the death
claim, holding that it did not occur
in the course of his employment. Com
mon Pleas Court of Logan County
held for the widow. Court of Appeals
reversed the Common Pleas Court.
Now the Supreme Court, by a four
to-three vote, reverses the Court of
Appeals and sustains the Common
Pleas Court in holding that the widow
is entitled to the award for the death
of her husband. Voting for the
award, Williams, Day, Myers and
Hart. Dissenting, Zimmerman, Wey
gandt and Matthias. The minority
contend that if death was accidental it
happened at his home, under circum
stances indicating he was in no way
connected with the duties of his em
ployment.

MILK DRIVERS'
CASE IN COURT

Supreme Court heard arguments last
week in the case of Cleveland Milk
and Ice Cream Drivers' Union, which
is fighting an injunction suit brought
by Cleveland milk brokers to prevent
the milk drivers from carrying out an
agreement with Cleveland milk dis
tributors whereby they are to employ
only union drivers. The case was
taken under advisement.
Charles Auerbach, attorney for the
brokers, argued the agreement was
unconstitutional and an attempt to
regulate the price of milk. William
Corrigan, attorney for the Drivers
Union, and C. A. Quintill, represent
ing the Telling Bell Vernon Co. said
tho agreement was a proper one—
made in line with the policy of col
uective bargaining and that the
closed shop pact had averted a strike
late in 1937.
What Labor
Contributes
By tR. CHARLES STEL35E
Before business can absorb the
bbless, employers must have the
money to 'create' new jobs," it is said
by employers of labor, and just now
is being repeated by certain poli
ticians. There's no doubt about it—
but it should not be forgotten that
orkers themselves would be making
most valuable financial contribution
in such a transaction.
We are informed that for each
worker employed, the steel industry
mu-t furnish $11,000 the mar.ufactur
ing industries must furnish $8,CG0
and the ordinary business must put up
$4,000. But each worker as he enters
industry represents an approximately
outlay of $10,000 by the parents of
the worker, the State, and other pub
ic institutions. Thus, the average
worker comes into the plant as the
equivalent of a $10,CO0 machine, and
he usually more than matches what
the inventor is asked to spend in order
to create a job for him.
Furthermore, the worker must spend
most of his wages to pay for his per
sonal "upkeep and "repairs." He pro
ides his own food, clothing, and
housing, and he is responsible for
keeping up his health, so th^.t he may
continue to be a good producer. A very
••mall percentage of his wages is spent
for his cultural life and for his "leisure
activities," although, it should be said
these also add to his value as a work
er. If he should drop out of the plant
for any reason, another worker, of
equal or even greater value, may be
secured upon the same terms. Upon
this basis, the approximately 40,000,
000 wage-earners in the United States
to whom this would apply, have
%*alue of $400,000,000,000. According
to latest reports, this equals the wealth
of the United States as ordinarily cal
culated.
Whatever may be said regarding
what others have paid to help support
the public institutions which had a
part in the preparation of the Ameri
can worker, all of the arguments fail
when they are applied to the million
of foreign-born workers in Industry
who came to this country full-fledged
ready for a job. They were prepared
at the expense of the countries from
which they came. This is particular!
true of the so-called "refugees," large
numbers of whom are technically
trained men and women.
It is reported with great concern
that the fifteen largest banks in New
York City are "waging a losing fight
because 42
r/r
of their cash asset-
amounting to something over
000,000
$7,0C0
are "idle." If
10,000,000
work
ers in this country are unemployed
they represent an "idle" cash value
$100,CCO,OCO,GOO,
and many of these
too, are "waging a losing fight." Th
biggest problem facing America toda
is how to put the "idle workers" an
the "idle money" at work so that the
may both win their fight. But don't let
us forget that all real wealth is simp]
stored-up labor.
