'Then gently scan

—By Mr. Modestus—
Sit-down strikes, illegal?
Whaddayu mean, "illegal"?
Are you trying to say "criminal"?
Because if you are, don't say it!
Because, moreover, "criminal"
means a lot more than 'il'legal"—
You may sue for damages on ac
count of something illegal—
But crime is something which men

aces the whole community—
However, when a whole commun ty
goes on a sit-down strike-
Probabilities are, that there is
something pretty important which
caused it—
It is like those "50 million
French
men," who couldn't go wrong—
When half a million men and wom
en get up in arms over something—
Go easy when you begin to call that
"illegal," or "criminal"—
Especially in these United States
of North America.
A United States Senator said:
"Sit-down strikes are illegal, yes—
"But they are justifiable under the
circumstances"—
Which calls for a re-examination
of the law—
Especially, also, of the circum
stances which produce sit-downs—
Examine also what results come
from the sitdowns—

PRODUCTION
Must Be Doubled For Bet
ter Living
New York City (ILNS)— In his an
nual report of the New York Associa
tion for Improving the Condition of
the Poor, Bailey B. Burritt, general
director of that association, calls for
a doubling of our present production
of goods and services, which he con
tends is necessary to furnish decent
living standards for the entire popu
lation.
"There is not enough national in
come to provide a decent standard of
living for our population," declared
Mr. Burritt. "Many are so occupied
with mere acquisitions—many are so
prone to suggest that the time has
come to work less and get more, that
we tend to lose sight of the fact that
we are not working enough to produce
income sufficient for a minimum de
cent standard of Jiving."
Poverty Could Be Prevented
He cited studies by the Brookings
Institution showing that if the lowest
standards set by the department of
labor were to be brought to all the
families in this country, the total pro
duction of 1929 would have to be
stepped up at least 75 per cent. He
noted that the 60 billion dollars esti
mated national income in 1936 is less
than $500 per person, and says:
"Locally and nationally we must
focus the attention of all people on
the fact that much of our poverty and
distress and unnecessary illness could
be prevented through improving the
standard of living of all of our fami
lies by increasing the amount of work
done, the volume of goods produced
and successfully distributed."
Distribution Seen Unsuccessful
Mr. Burritt gives no advice on im
proving our present distribution of
the national income, though he plainly
implies that he does not consider that
distribution "successful." Nor does
he give any light on how production
can be doubled without doubling the
buying power of consumers.
Discussing relief, he obviously pays
no attention to the plea that relief
should be cut. He says:
"Our main difficulty at the present
time is not that we are spending too
much on relief under present condi
tions but that we are producing too
little, working too little and therefore
have not enough goods and services
to maintain a decent standard of liy.
ing for all."

Safe ways are happy ways and lead
to "Home, Sweet Home."
No Time Out
The safety game is one which does
not permit time out for consultation.
