BRISBANE V THIS WEEK Wealth. It Wages r . aa- - Ijuoei uonsiam inmn Wage and Prosperity Long Wants Chunks The American Cotton Manufactur ers' association, at Charlotte, N. C 1 promises not to re duce wages or in crease hours, ao ex cellent pledge, as Important to the employing, prosper ous class as to workers. This was well put by W. J. Cameron, speaking for Henry Ford, an nouncing restora tion of the six dol lars a day minimum wage, which will cost Henry Ford $2,000,000 a month I Said Mr. Cameron: "The finest possible method of dis tributing the nation's goods is through wages. They represent work done and useful wealth created; they never drain or tax the country they add substance and strength. . . . "It is Impossible to exaggerate the dependence of the country upon wages earned and paid, or the happy effect of a return of wages after a period of decline. . . . The expenditures of the rich cannot support any basic business In this country; for in the first place we have very few people who can be called rich ; and in the second place, neither their needs nor their buying power is sufficient to support even a medium-sized Industry of any sort "The largest, most varied and most constant market in the world is the wage earning American people. They handle the bulk of the money; it is their needs and standards that keep the wheels turn ing. If they can't buy it doesn't matter who else can or does and their buying power is wages." CURRENT EVENTS REVIEW NEW 8ET OF MANAGER8 GIVEN NRA BY PRESIDENT WITH J. L. O'NEILL A3 HEAD. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C WMin Newapapar Union. Artaar Brlsaaaa G. L. Berry Business men who think wealth can be taken out of the wages of working men, should read those words In Italics, carefully, and they should be rend by any workers that have listened to dema gogues telling them, "Take It away from the rich. That is the way to be happy." There are not enough "rich" to go around, but with full production, full consumption, good wages and rea sonable leisure, affording time to spend and enjoy the good wages, American prosperity for all that has grown stead fly In the past would continue to grow. Have wages and prosperity In creased? They have. First, a President of the United States once complained; publicly and without rebuke, that you could not hire a good worker In this country for less than $100 a year, about 30 cents a day. Second, McMasters, the historian, tells you that In the early days only one American mechanic, a New Eng land carpenter, could earn as much as one dollar a day. Third, In 1914, when the automobile Industry was young, Henry Ford's minimum wage was $2.34 a day. It was In January, 1914, that the new minimum was changed to $5 a day. The senate rejects Senator Long's proposition to spend five thousand million dollars a year benevolently, and raise the money by taking "chunks" out of large fortunes. This process, the senator's "share-the-wealth" Idea, might last a little while, but after the large fortunes were all gone the "share-the-wealth" gentle men might begin taking "chunks" out of each other. 1 J. Plerpont Morgan of New York, who sold valuable pictures here, and sold them well, proving business abil ity, In London Is selling costly mini atures. Some ask why Mr. Morgan, who Is prosperous, sells works of art that cannot be' replaced. The reply might properly be "That Is my business." Perhaps he sees ahead conditions In which "real money" will be better than miniatures. ii Telegram, dated Washington, from Congressman P. L. Gassaway. Try to be as cheerful as he Is: "Just returned from trip through Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Crops are good out there. Prosperity Is cer tain. Couldn't set breakfast In rail' road restaurant on account of crowd.' DOOR old NRA, now Just a thing of skin and bones, has a new set of managers. President Roosevelt issued an executive drder extending the emaci ated affair until April 1 next, in accordance with the resolution adopted by congress, and then announced that James I.. O'Neill. vice president of the (iuaruntte Tru-t com pany of New York, would serve an admin istrator. Assisting 'he bunker In the effort to persuade tlie puliilc. business nu n and la bor to abide voluntarily by the codes no longer enforceable, and In the as sembllng of statistics, are Leon C. Marshall, director of the division of review; Prentiss L. Coonley. director of the division of business co-operation, and George L. Berry, assistant to the administrator representing la bor. Mrs ISerry, who has been serving as a code ailnf nistrntor, is president of the International Pressmen's union and was once a candidate for nomina tion for Vice President of the United States. O'Neill, Marshall and Coonley were made directly responsible to the Pres ident. An advisory council of six members was named to help them. On this council are Charles Edison and Howell Cheney for Industry; William Green, president of the Atnerlcnn Fed eration of Labor, and Philip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers, for labor, and Kmlly Newell Blair and Walton H. Hamilton for consumers. "The administration of the amended act," said the President in signing the orders, "will proceed as rapidly as pos sible to adjust activities and personnel to conform to present limited objec tives. "So long, however, as there is a pos sibility of further legislation, It will be desirable to maintain the general structure of the recovery admluistra tion In Washington and In field offices and to retain those essential members of a trained personnel who can be use fully employed. There will be lasting values in a careful appraisal of the two-year accomplishments of the NRA and In preserving for permanent use the records of that experience. This can be done by those heretofore en gaged In the work of codification. "A steady but gradual reduction of personnel Is, therefore, a sound public policy which will also avoid imposing undue hardships on faithful public em pioyees wno can continue to render a service of exceptional value to the government. It will be necessary, of course, to retain a sufficient field force to report on the effects of code aboli tion. This will Include Information covering changes In labor and fair practice standards." There are 5,400 employees of the NRA, 4,500 of them In Washington. Reduction of the personnel eventually to 1,600 Is contemplated, but it Is ex pected that most of the dismissed em ployees will be absorbed by other al phabetical agencies. Franklin, John M. Franklin, Vincent Ascor ana permit Kooseveit," stood to benefit by It - v1 ;' The bureau of air commerce and the steamship f&spectton service also came. In for unfavorable "criticism by Mr. uitcneiL '.v;: ' A CCORDING to reports Issued by the Brookings Institution, there Is no justification for Indefinite continu ance of the wheat and tobacco "pro grams of the AAA. -v. The wheat report, written by Joseph S. Davis, a director of the food re search Institute of Stanford univer sity, warns against a tendency to spread a sinister form of political cor ruption. It credits progress In rais ing prices and reducing surplus large ly to two successive years of drouth and lists contributory causes as the Influence of the tariff and dollar de preciation. The tobacco report by Harold B. I! owe states that substantial benefits have been obtained for growers with little, if any, added burden on -consumers through higher prices thus far. No attempt Is made to appraise the merits of the program as a public pol icy, although It Is pointed out that benefits to producers could not be increased Indefinitely. FASCIST leaden of Italy, doubtless Including Mussolini himself, are ef me opinion that the IUlo-Kthloplan ar bitration commission will not be tble to settle peacefully the dispute be iween the two nations. Therefore the Rome government Is making all prep i rations ror war, one of Its most re cent steps being a decree calling In all liver money from circulation, Thus silver becomes to a large degree the property of the government Its ex port In any form had been previously prohibited. The expeditionary force In Africa will number about 225,000, men by falL and since silver Is rising In the world market the government may realise a considerable profit Nearly a million men have been called to arms by II Duce, and depar tures of troops and munitions to Af rica are being speeded up. The ar bitration commission one of whose members Is an American, Benjamin Pitman Potter, named by Ethiopia, doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with Its negotiations. : V t Gen.

At last the senate broke down the filibuster, rejected the Gore amend ment and passed the extension resolu tion , by a Tote of . 41 to 13. One change, to tighten up the antitrust laws, suggested by Borah, was made, so the resolution was sent back to the house for concurrence. - - rW!NO T. MITCHELL, one ef the original Roosevelt men in Missouri, was rewarded by appointment as as sistant secretsry of commerce, but he violently opposed some of Mr. Boper's policies in the running of the depart ment and so the President, after asking la Tain for Bis resignation, ousted him summarily, saying he desired for the position "a msn of. large executive a"hd administrative "training; Now Mr. Mitchell has started what be calls "a fight 'to a finish." opening 'with the publication of charges that "special interests", dominate the Commerce de partment He especially criticises a government contract with the United States lines for the permanent layop of the steamship Leviathan, contend ing It Is sgainst the public Interest and that "those Interested In the company, prominent among whom are P.

Foulois of blame for the army air-mall fiasco and merely directed that he be reprimanded for mak ing "inexact unfair and misleading" state ments to the house military affairs com mittee. This didn't suit certain members of the committee who Insist the general should be removed from his command of the army air corps. Representatives Wil liam H. Rogers of New Hampshire and Lister Hill of Alabama said they would carry the matter to the floor of the house and there re view the evidence the committee took. In holding that Foulois should re ceive more drastic punishment than a reprimand. Representative Rogers made public a letter from Secretary Uern to the committee. The letter followed an oflicial War department statement clearing Foulois, whose friends insisted he was being made a scapegoat for the administration air mail blunder. "It Is affirmatively established," Hern's letter read, "that General Foulois violated the ethics and stand ards of military service In making statements before your committee which not only were unfair and mis leading to the committee Itself but which also reflected upon the Integrity of his brother officers." r PRESIDENT CARDENAS of Mexico appeared to have come victorious out of a crisis that was precipitated by Plutarco Ellas Calles, who was op posing Cardenas' economic policies. The young president forced his entire cabinet to resign, and formed another that would support him wholehearted ly. He has back of him the workers. most of the politicians and probably the army. The Mexican City Catholics, who are pretty much suppressed, took advan tage of the presence In the capital of thousands of Rotarians attending their international convention, and held a monster parade with speeches calling for religious liberty. BRUTALITY IN JAILS IS LAID TO AUSTRIA AFTER three bloody riots" 1-' Oma ha's street car strike. In which one man was killed and nearly two hundred were injured. Gov. R. L. Cochran of Nebraska took charge of the situation. State troops were called out to preserve the public peace and the governor, meeting with representatives of the traction com pany, the central labor union and the strikers, ordered that the dispute be arbitrated Immediately. Cochran Insisted the arbitration agreement be effective for at least one year and hinted his military authority might be invoked to enforce the agree ment during that time. If either party," his statement said. "in the future fails to observe the conditions set down by the board of arbitration and so Is responsible for a return of conditions which will again require military law It must take the full responsibility." Illinois national uusrdsmen were sent to Freeport where strikers at the Stover Manufacturing plant had fought with deputy sheriffs. Gov. Hen ry Horner intervened and a basis was reached for settling the strike, which had been In force since May 7. The men were granted a wage Increase at least until September 1 next President Roosevelt succeeded In averting the threatened strike of bl tuminous coal miners. Both the oper ators aad the United Mine Workers agreed to a truce until June 30, be fore which time It Is hoped a new wage scale can be formulated and accepted. EDWIN P. MORROW, former gover nor of Kentucky and a Republican leader prominent In state and nation, died suddenly In Frankfort 1 He was one of the most popular men In Ken tucky -and was noted for his oratorical powers. ',. V- ' 'Sv Another death widely mourned Is that of Gaar Williams, whose cartoons had endeared him to countless thou sands because of their kindliness, hu mor and truth. . PLANS for, spending the $4,000,000, 000 work-relief fund are coming to the fore rapidly and numerously. Rep resentative Mitchell, Democrat, of Ten-' nessee, has Introduced a bill requir ing the President to use $1,000,000,000 to help the durable goods industries. By Its terms factories supplying ma chinery and materials would be reim bursed for losses directly attributable to hiring new men. Mr. Mitchell thinks his plan would aid In the production of $80,000,000,000 worth of durable goods needed by private Industry. The War department filed a request for 117,071 .3S8 to finance the construc tion of 3d army bases In Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas. California and Kansas. The Labor department asked for $400,000 for research designed to aid the United States employment serv ice In selecting and placing workers on relief Jobs and la private Industry. JAPAN Is moving swiftly to obtain the control over north China which evidently Is her main objective at pres ent New demands were presented to the Chinese government at Nanking, and when some of these were declared unacceptable the Japanese troops and officials began moving into Peiplng and Tientsin and all the area between the Great Wall and the Yellow river. The Chinese officials, being helpless, moved out and the branches of the Kuomin tang or People's party were closed. The central council In Nanking, though accepting some of the Japanese de mands, could see nothing but trouble ahead and instructed Gen. Ho Ylng chlng, the war minister, to prepare for eventualities. WARFARE between Paraguay and Bolivia In the Gran Chaco. which has been going on for three years, came to an end sfter representatives of the two nations signed an armistice agreement In Buenos Aires. The truce was the result of conferences between representatives of Paraguay, Bolivia and six neutral nations the United States, Brasll, Argentina, Peru, Chile, arid Uruguay. An attempt will now be made to settle the disputes by direct negotiations. THE British government, it Is be lieved, has accepted in principle the German demand for restoration of the German navy up to 35 per cent of the British strength. This is exceed ingly Irritating to France, and Premier Laval Is likely to send a note to all signatories to the Washington treaty protesting against the revision of the multilateral treaties by bilateral agree ments, and proposing a ' new na val conference. Including Germany this time, to revise the Washington and London ratios all around. D EINSDORF, a German town 52 miles southwest of Berlin, was virtually destroyed by the blowing up of a great munitions plant and the en suing fires. Because of rigid censor ship It was Impossible to learn the number of casualties.

Women Political Prisoners Beaten by Police. Prague. An account of callous treat ment of Austrian young women and girls arrested for distributing- forbid den Socialist party literature or at tending party meetings is given by a woman who was an Austrian prisoner, ln the current number of the Austrian Socialist organ Arbelter Zeltung, which la printed by Socialists in : exile in Czechoslovakia. . ' ,''; f; i. $.' Hi Tour' correspondent Is privately as sured that the account Is absolutely reliable. It contrasts sharply V with Chancellor Kurt Schuschntgg's denial In a speech In Vienna that Austria treats political prisoners barbsrously. Describes the Conditions. The Arbelter Zeltung article glvea the following picture of conditions In Vienna : Young women, when first arrested. are detained one or two weeas in police stations, which have only one cell for women. The political pris oners there are herded together with criminals and prostitutes, to whose professional anecdotes young women, whose only offense Is their, political attitude, are obliged to listen through out the day and night Washing la practically Impossible, only about a cupful of water being al lowed to a prisoner. Sanitary condi tions are indescribable. The cell con tains no ordinary beds but only plank beds, with thin coverlets even In win ter. From the police stations prisoners are transferred to the central police prison, which Is so overcrowded that cells built for one woman always con tain two or three. Straw sacks are provided foi beds, and these are re moved from the cells In the day and in terchanged among the prisoners so that all run the constant danger of contracting diseases. Beaten by the Police. The women were allowed only two fifteen-minute periods of exercise In fresh air weekly until a recent hun ger strike. Since then they get a half hour of exercise thrice weekly. Wom en political prisoners unlike men po litical prisoners are not beaten by the Jailers, but in many cases they are brutally beaten by the police linme dltely after arrest Even children are sometimes Im prisoned for political offenses. Re cently a boy of fourteen and a girl of eighteen were locked in the same cell and treated as adult prisoners. Re cently a girl, sixteen, the daughter of a Czechoslovak -citizen, smuggled copies of the Arbelter Zeltung Into Austria. She was , arrested and sen tenced In. each of two different courts to six months for the same offense. 1 COLOR AND LIFE IN "POSTER GIRL" B OUANDMOTHEJt CLARK If you want to make a quilt with lots of color and life, the "Poster Girl" will be your selection.

Dr. Serge Voronoff, re juvenation specialist whose monkey gland operations make people look 15 years younger, believes man should live 140 years. 'Every animal on earth should live seven times the time it takes to reach first maturity,'' he explained. "Man is mature at twenty. Therefore, I give him 140 years to live." Doctor Voronoff made the surpris ing estimate that nine out of ten times monkey gland seekers are men, rather than women. - "The glands restore mental aa well aa physical power," the specialist re lated. "Many men still must work at sixty-five or seventy, and need new mental strength. "But the women they come for coquetry. That's why there are few of them." For three months, after the gland operations, no effects are felt he re lated, and then "For seven months the Improvement Is continuous.' A man sixty-five finally tskes on the appearance of a man of fifty. "The effect lasts ten years. Then It can be done again, but. 1 think that the patient will get the benefit of only about six, or seven years the second time. We never have made a third op eration.' - How About It, ParaaU? A physician decided to help the unemployment situation the other day by-giving his young nephew, who had Just passed his bar examination, some of his bills to collect He In structed him to make a report on each of the debtors. .
