Miss Jane Addutns "of Hull House"
Is dead. She set an admirable exam¬
ple before men and
women. She devoted
her life and her for¬
tune, all of her
time, effort and
money, to the wel¬
fare of unfortunate
women and chil¬
dren. She was one
of those that make
it difficult not to be¬
lieve In heaven.
If there were no

such goodness the

Arthur qtiantums, electrons

Joke.
Learned Professor Einstein, with the
nlso learned Professors B. Podolsky
end N. Itosen, all of Princeton Insti¬
tute for Advanced Study, makes a deep
announcement that will Interest those
that can understand It.
This Is It, condensed:
“A scientific theory can he devised
which will completely describe reality."
It seems the present scientific the¬
ory, supposed to give a description of
physical reality by the "quantum-me¬
chanical” method, does not work out
satisfactorily, and you are sorry you
learned It.
It is pleasant to see scientists on the
shore of the ocean of knowledge, play¬
ing with one or two little pebbles.
Science Is far from any “scientific the¬
ory that will completely describe re¬
ality.” for science cannot tell what
•‘reality" is.
In a universe without limits of time
or space, made up of particles of elec¬
tricity variously grouped. In electrons,
atoms and molecules, no man microbe
can hope “completely to describe re¬
ality ”
Chancellor Hitler of Germany con¬
ferred upon the fighting German Gen¬
eral LudendorfT the title “field marshal
general," highest rank in Germany’s
army. General LudendorfT, grentest
after Von Hlndenburg, In the big war,
declined with thanks, announced his
retirement to a small hunting lodge
In the Bavarian mountain. It Is sug¬
gested that Germany’s most distin¬
guished living general did not feel that
his glory could bo Increased h.v Chan¬
cellor Hitler, who was a corporal in
the army of Austria.
"Sermons In stones, and good In
everything.”
There must he a sermon In the Chi¬
cago woodpecker that every morning
woke his neighborhood drumming on a
copper drainpipe.
The copper resisted, hut the wood¬
pecker drummed on until n boy with
a slingshot stopped him forever. What
'is the sermon?
Does It deal with modern efforts to
ignore the nature of man, stand old
“Supply and Demand" on his head, and
prove that super intelligence can make
the world over In ten minutes?
Professor Kemmerer, financial ex¬
pert, of Princeton, worrying about In¬
flation, “too much money in circula¬
tion.’’ says the government Is spending
money twice as fast as It comes In.
This, he says, Is done by "pumping the
banks full of artificial credit." Hav¬
ing done that, the government borrows
Its own money from the banks and
pays them interest, which seems mild¬
ly amusing.
President Roosevelt may he right
about professors. An eight-year-old
girl missing In New York; all police
detectives, plus 60 policemen, espe¬
cially assigned, and troops of Boy
Scouts searched the neighborhood
vainly for 61 hours.
Prof. Taylor Putney, Jr., of New
York university, said to the police:
“I saw boys and girls digging a cave
In the sand late on the day of the
girl's disappearance; look there," and
■pointed. There at the foot of the con¬
crete wall the girl was found, ap¬
parently smothered h.v sand that had
caved in. There Is much in knowing
how to look for what you want to
find.

PISS III REVIEW
TVA CHARGED WITH WASTEFUL
AND IRREGULAR DOINGS-
SMITH BOOM GROWS.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
<©, Western Newspaper Union.
QEGRET hearings were opened bv
the house military affairs commit¬
tee to Investigate charges that the
Tennessee Valley authority already
has squandered .$1,000,
OOP of government
money In questionable
awards of contracts
for dynamite and pow¬
der arid through other
Irregularities. Arthur
K. Morgan, head of
the TVA. and his two
fellow directors. Itavid
Ltlienthal and Har-
cotirt A. Morgan, were
A. E. Morgan summoned before the
committee.
The charges are contained In an
audit of the TVA made by Comptroller
General J. R. McCari. Some of the
Irregularities he claims to have un¬
covered are:
The awarding without competitive
bidding of a contract which obligated
the government for an Indefinite sum
of money, estimated at $615,000.
Overpayments of an original con
tract by as much as 120 per cent.
Awarding of contracts, In contraven¬
tion of law, to firms which were not
the low bidders, with one contract go
lng to a bidder who was seventh from
low.
Failure to require one large con
tractor to post performance bond and
at the same time the payment of fees
to this contractor In advance, despite a
legal prohibition against advaHce pay¬
ments.
Solicitation of bids by telephone or
circulars among a certain group of pri
vate business houses, or In other ir
regular ways.
The TVA directors were said to ne
prepared to disprove the worst of the
charges, and to be ready to make
some disclosures of their own, espe¬
cially concerning the submission of
uniform bids by nine munitions com¬
panies.
'Hie Inquiry came as the administra¬
tion was trying to get the house com¬
mittee to report favorably the bill,
recently passed by the senate, provid¬
ing more money for the TVA and en¬
larging Its scope of operations.
IJ OUSE leaders were hurrying to-
ward passage the administration’s
amendments to the AAA act, enlarg¬
ing the powers of that organization,
the demand of opponents for long de¬
bate being denied. It was certain this
measure would arouse controversy In
the senate. Jobbers and retailers of
foodstuffs, of whom there are about
111,000 In the country, are much dis¬
turbed by these proposed amendments
for the measure extends to them the
processing taxes now Imposed on food
manufacturers, makes them subject to
regulations not yet specified and re¬
quires that each one be licensed by
the AAA.

power scheme, and there is a lot of
grumbling because it
was placed at the
head of the line by
President himself.
This project was once
turned down as un

Ickes, the assertion

parison with the re¬
turns that might be.

much work relief was not needed. But
Mr. Roosevelt, whose Campobello sum¬
mer cottage Is near the location of
the proposed dam site, Is said to be
personally Interested In the project,
believing It will bring new industries
to the area. Another argument In its
favor Is that the old question of the
practicability of harnessing the ocean
tides may be settled by It.
Anyhow, tills big Maine project Is to
go ahead, and Maj. Philip B. Fleming

the statement that "a great many of
the high and mighty” have been de¬
liberately trying to mislead many peo¬
ple by “lying about the kind of a farm
program under which this nation Is
operating." He went on to deny em¬
phatically that the government has
“wastefully destroyed food in any
form."
Next day many of the visiting farm
ers were in the senate gallery and
heard Senator Daniel O. Hastings of
Delaware, Republican, score the Presi¬

AAA program as liars.
Senator Hastings than Introduced a
resolution cal Hug upon the secretary
of agriculture to submit all corre¬
spondence between the department and
the visiting farmers, together with any
Instructions sent out to county agents
with a view of producing the “spon¬

demanded to know how the delegates
were selected and what financial as¬

extended to them by the agricultural
officials.

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
National Press Building Washington, D. C.
Washington.—The senate has again
Indulged in Its favorite pastime of
straining at the gnats
Wagner Bill arid swallowing the
Dangerous camels. Its latest
camel that was swal¬
lowed at one gulp and with the same
ease as the.man on the flying trapeze
was passage of the so-called Wagner
labor disputes bill. The consensus
seems to be that reformers in the
senate reached the highwater mark
when they capitulated to the labor
lobby and put further insurmountable
difficulties in the way of recovery for
business.
Of course, the Wagner bill still must
run the gauntlet of house passage. It
appears, however, that the labor lobby
will drive It through there substan¬
tially in Its present form unless small¬
er communities fn the United States
awaken to the dangers of such legisla¬
tion. The probabilities are that house
members will not hear from home in
time to influence their votes and pre¬
vent passage of the legislation.
The bill, drafted by the German-born
Senator Wagner (Deni., N. Y.) creates
a national labor relations hoard. This
body will have almost judicial powers
In settling labor disputes and in con¬
nection with those powers the board
can actually say to an employer of
workers that he must not promote an
organization among them other than
of the type of their own choosing. In
other words, a labor agitator repre¬
senting the American Federation of
Labor will be permitted to enter any¬
body’s shop and organize the workers
and the employer will be powerless to
prevent ft. If. however, he sought to
have his workers organize themselves
Into a union not affiliated with organ¬
ized labor, the proposed labor relations
board can order it stopped. Actually,
and there seems to oe little dispute of
this potentiality in the legislation, it
is designed to establish the American
Federation of Labor in this country
as a class strong enough to control
the management of commerce and in¬
dustry. ^
Although the senate action in pas¬
sage of the bill was overwhelming, it
was not accomplished until the Demo¬
cratic Senator T.vdings of Maryland
shouted over the din the warning that
the measure would ruin chances of
business recovery. The Maryland sena¬
tor sought to amend the bill with a
provision prohibiting coercion and in¬
timidation of employees hy “anyone
whatsoever.” Then Senator Tydings
told the senate:
“If you do not accept this amend¬
ment, talk of freedom for labor is a
farce.”
Senator Hastings (Rep., Del.) was
another opponent of the measure who
fought vigorously until the bill was
called for a vote. He declared it made
him feel that the senate was passing
legislation “to force every man in
America to join a particular union
whether he wants to or not .’’ The
amendment was killed.
* * *
The Wagner bill is an outgrowth of
attempts to develop through the na¬
tional industrial re-
Claivs for covery act a policy
Blue Eagle compelling employers
to bargain collective¬
ly witii their employees. That is. the
famed section 7-A was intended to
make it impossible for employers to
enter into an agreement with their em¬
ployers except by dealing with a com¬
mittee selected by a majority of the
workers. It was the assumption when
this provision was written two years
ago that the American Federation of
Labor would have a majority in all of
the important industries. It developed,
however, that company unions, not af¬
filiated with any other organization,
constituted a majority in scores of fac¬
tories and plants. Thus, the A. F. of
L. encountered an unexpected obstacle.
Now Senator Wagner, whose radical
tendencies are well known, has at¬
tempted to give the Blue Eagle some
claws hv enactment of the labor dis¬
putes hill and the creation of a sepa¬
rate labor relations board.
The measure as it passed the senate
makes it “unfair” for employers to do
any of the following things:
1. To interfere with, or to coerce
employees, in the exercise of collective
bargaining through representatives of
their own choosing.
2. To dominate or to interfere with
the formation or administration of any
labor organization or to contribute
financially or aid in the support of it.
3. To encourage or discourage mem¬
bership in any labor organization by
discrimination.
4. To discriminate against any em¬
ployee for filing charges or giving
testimony under the proposed act.
5. To refuse to bargain collective¬
ly with representatives of their em¬
ployees.
No prohibitions against labor agi¬
tators are to be found in the legisla¬
tion. From all of the debate and com¬
mittee hearings which I aave examined,
it appeared that business interests
were fighting the legislation not only
because of the handicaps it places
upon them hut as much for the reason
that it represents an entering wedge
for labor agitators in all commercial
lines. There seems to be no doubt that
when an employer is prohibited from
driving labor agitators away, he is
handicapped in attempting to maintain
industrial peace with his own workers
If the legislation creating the labor
relations board is bad for big V ra
Hits Small ployers of labor it
seems likely to be
Employers worse in the smaller
e«nmnnities where
employers of a small number of work
ers constitute the majority of i n .i
trial lines. I b.v u ^
mean that, there is
usually more skilled labor available In
larger industrial communities than in
small towns or rural areas. That being
true, the employer in a larger cn m.
munity has an opportunity to replan*
workers who are dissatisfied or who
have yielded to the influence of labor
agitators, whereas the small town em¬
ployer of labor cannot always repi ace
workers who would rather be idle than
accept terms which paid labor leaders
tell the workers are not proper.
Further, the legislation will put or-
ganized labor deeper into polities than
it has ever been, it will make elec¬
tions depend largely instead of j U8 t
partially on the attitude of a congress¬
man or a senator toward labor queg.
tions. In addition, tut discussion I
hear indicates definite fear on the part
of some political leaders that the paid
organizers in labor circles will them¬
selves become political as well as eco¬
nomic dictators.
In some quarters, there is doubt that
the bill will do for organized labor alt
of the things the paid leaders claim.
It begins to appear that the farmers’
march on Washington may bring a
flarebaek on the ad-
Ugly Rumor ministration. Certain-
Spreads >.v. opponents of the
administration ar*
not going to let President Roosevelt,
Secretary Wallace, and Agricultural
Administrator Davis forget very soon
their feeling that the march was sot
of the spontaneous sort.
No sooner had the farmers arrived
here than an ugly rumor was spread
around that the visit of the forty-five
hundred was financed by the Agricul¬
tural Adjustment administration. The
rumor spread so fast that it broke out
in senate and house debate and de¬
mands were made for an investigation.
In fact, a resolution to that effect was
introduced in the senate. The Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Adjust¬
ment administration paid no attention
to the rumor until the resolution was
offered on the floor of the senate,
whereupon a vigorous denial was
forthcoming from Mr. Davis. He said
that the farmers had expressed the de¬
sire to come to Washington as a dem¬
onstration of their approval of AAA
policies and frankly stated that his
organization was happy to see such
an endorsement. But as to expenses.
Mr. Davis said and repeated that none
of the funds used for the trip came
from the federal treasury.
On the other hand, observers and
writers in Washington noted that the
farmers were equipped with highly
decorative badges; they were provided
witii a* meeting place, a great audi¬
torium which rents for considerable
money, and when they went to the
White House ttie President spoke from
a prepared speech. They stopped at
good hotels anil the majority of them
had traveled to Washington in pull-
man sleeping cars.
I do not assume that It is of world
wide importance what the total cost
was. I am reporting only the reaction
which Washington had. Thus it can
be mentioned that all of the badges
worn b.v the delegates bore the large
letters “AAA” and the names of the
respective states represented. The hall,
as I have said, rents for a substantial
amount and the hotel bills are never
small. Railroad fare front distant
points costs enough that the depres¬
sion conditions have cut down passen¬
ger traffic and the march on Washing¬
ton was concluded with a banquet. Un¬
naturally. those who were curious con¬
cerning the expenses of the trip free y
stated that there are at least foar
thousand, five hundred farmers in tie
country who not as destitute a s
are
professional friends of agriculture have
been claiming.
