Pollard Discusses the
“Six-Hour Bill” For
Railroad Workers
What may become a live legislative
issue in congress, the “Six Hour Bill
for Railroad Workers,” is discussed
today by H. D. Pollard in a state
ment published in this issue. He says:
“Much is being said and written
by advocates of the ‘six hour bill’
for railroad labor as to its alleged
advantages and benefits, but little or
nothing has been said as to the real
menace which such legislation offers
to continued economic recovery from
effects of ‘the depression.’
“Railway wages are now at the
highest level of all time, but con
gress will be asked to enact a law
establishing a six-hour day for rail
way employes without reduction in
the daily rates of pay. The standard
day is now eight hours. The meas
ure would increase hourly rates of
pay by 33 1-3 per cent.”
Mr. Pollard stresses that the pro
posed legislation is of both interest
and importance to the public, as in
evitably the increased operating ex
pense would have to be passed on to
the shipping and traveling nublic in
the form of increased freight rates
and passenger fares. He cites the in
creased expense to the railroads as
a minimum of 400 million dollars a
year. He says further:
“Such a staggering increase in la
bor costs would curtail the purchas
ing power of the railroads, which,
when their finances permit, are large
buyers of many commodities. Demor
alized conditions in the railway in
dustry would inevitably disturb er
covery. Impoverished railroads mean
impaired service. Adequate railway
service is essential to all industry.
“Advocates of the measure argue
that it will increase employment, but
railroads cannot hire men unless
they have money to meet payrolls.
Abandonment of branch lines, par
ticularly those in agricultural terri
tory, the closing of stations and the
discontinuance of trains are exam
ples of the forced economy which in
conveniences the public.”
Citing that it would be “manifest
ly unfair” to impose the six-hour
day on railroads and leave their com
petitors free from such limitations,
Mr. Pollard says that for many rea
sons enactment of the bill into law
would be no contribution to progress
but would on the contrary be adverse
to the public interest.

I was all right. The shaking quit
and I did not cramp. I felt worlds
better. I gave Cardui to my daugh

THEY SAY.
(By Hubert Dodd.)
“Maybe your child doesn’t like home
because he doesn’t have much to do
in the home.”
The man I heard say that was a
boy in a country home where every
boy and every girl were required to
contribute definite work to the life
of the home.
We are in danger today of letting
compliances rob children of a whole
some participation in the work of
the home, and it would be well for
us to remember that compliances
never will love a home, but that
children may, and perhaps will, learn
to dislike the home which requires
nothing of them.
By the way, one of the surest and
quickest ways of getting rid of your
enemies is to do something for them
-—just love them to death.
Let your children try it on the
home which they dislike. The result
will probably be that they will soon
feel that the home is theirs, and they
will surely love it.
Our friends was a teacher in the
public schools, and he was talking to
a group of parents, telling them how
to rear their children. If parents
would only take this fine bit of psy
chological advice and stop being so
sentimental and put their children to
work, the Home-and-Child problem
would be well on the way to solution.
Here’s for a Child Labor Amend
ment, but not just any sort. In fact,
we ought to have two: one to prohib
it the exploitation of children by
greedy industrialists and one to make
it mandatory upon parents to put
their children to wholesome work in
the home and on the farm.

to attend school than can be assigned
under the N.Y.A. funds available,”
Mr. Lasseter stated. “Information
received from educators throughout

In Fashion Now.
Lace hats or lace mantillas lend an

Bronze cut steel buckles are being
shown on bronze kid shoes.
Lace and tulle have been very pop
ular this season. They are usually
classed as spring or summer fabriibs.
perhaps the full skirted costumes de
signed for evening are the cause of
their popularity.
A black lace dress with gold lace
belt and black evening pumps trim
med with an inch wide set-in band of
gold lace make a striking costume.
Culottes, while not as much in de

are still being worn by smart women.

LITTLE CHANCE.
A determined effort will likely be
made to amend the recently enacted
undistributed profits tax. The effort
will be made to mitigate what oppon
ents consider the most serious fea

chance of major changes in the
measure.
