WHO ARE THE MASSES?
INTERESTING QUESTION. TOO
Who are the masses?
That would seem to be an interesting question. It is
a word that you see used so often but seldom, if ever,
defined. It is the favorite word of many a politician
or office-holder. No one stops to ask the user of the
word just who is meant. Are you one of the masses
because of the kind of clothes you wear, the work you
do, where you live or how you cut your hair? Or does
it depend upon the amount of money you have in the
bank, your income tax or lack of it or how you walk-'
It would be very interesting for someone whoo uses the
word to really say what he means instead of leaving
you to guess about it.
Masses is an overworked word of doubtful in-
tegrity. It is as slippery as an eel fresh out of the
water. In its daily use nobody stops to think if
they are talking about themselves or the other fel-
low. If they are talking about themselves they
spend a lot of time at it. Just who brought the word
into common use it is difficult to say. It is one
of those words used to take care of a situation with-
out having to be exacting in any degree. "The great
masses" booms out the speaker but he doesn t say
whether he means John Smith or Jim Jones; the
butcher, the baker or the candlestick maker. He
would be totally unprepared to answer were you
to ask him. He would probably appear insulted.
One could say that the abuse of the word is the step
to rob people of their individuality. Lump people to-
gether as representing a mass without any shape or
form, physically or mentally. Cattle are put in herds,
sheep in flocks and fish, even in schools. But people,
well they are just massed.
o
CHARACTER NEEDED MORE
THAN SKILL TODAY
The contrast between United States attitudes on re-
ligion and those of certain European nations is high-
lighted as the New York World's Fair approaches.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., speaking at a lunch-
eon for exposition executives, asked further sub-
scriptions for the completion of a Temple of Re-
ligion on the grounds.
"The world today is not so much in need of skill
as of character, ' he said. "How incomplete the
World's Fair would be as a picture of the Ameri-
can people if it did not prominently feature relig-
ious life."
In recognizing worship as a key. unit for one of the
greatest exhibitions of the year, the United States
proves its unwillingness to be led into political policies
which crush religion to the earth.

BY JOHN T. FLYNN
If you will look at a.,
.chart of business activity—
not just production acti-
vity—you will see that the
general tendency was down
from the beginning of Jan-
uary, 1937, until around
April, 1938.
This in spite of that Dun
and Bradstreet report that
building costs rose all
through 1937 right up to
September, the end of the
building season. They have
declined since.
One of the very serious
things the matter with us
is the rigidity of building
costs—both material and la-
bor. Labor costs, of course,
are controlled by union
wage scales. Building ma-
terial costs are controlled
by agreements among manu-
facturers and collusion of
all sorts among contractors
and sub-contractors.
The fact that the coun-
try could move down In a
serious depression for nine
months chiefly because the
building industry refuses to
get going and yet all that
time building costs should
rise, is complete evidence
that these costs are control-
led.
Nothing much can be done
about this until and unless
the Department of Justice
moves with ruthless activity
against price and produc-
tion agreements, express
and implied, among mater-
ial groups and against col-
lusive activities of con-
tractor groups.
This is one spot where a
swift and relentless warfare
against violations of various
anti-trust laws will perform
a potent service for recovery.
But this will not be
enough. There will remain
the labor costs. These are
dominated by the American
Federation of Labor.
The building trades un-
ions have slowly, by drastic
cutting off of apprentice-
ships, cut down the amount
of available union labor.
They have raised wage
scales and work terms in
such a way as alpost to
make profitable building
impossible.
No man can make a sin-
gle argument against organ-
ization of building workers
into unions or against un-
ion efforts to protect work-
ing conditions and rights
against employer exploita-
tion. There is no doubt that
the character of the build-
ing industry has made it dif-
ficult for building workers
to make a decent living
without comparatively high
daily wages. They do not
work enough days in the
year. But as they have rais-
er) the daily wage and im-
posed other restrictions they
have still further cut down
the number of days because
they have helped to reduce
building.
They are not alone to
blame for this. The build-
ing industry has not been
very intelligent in its effort
to spread work through-
out the year. It has been
given to spasmodic, sudden
and swift season I specula-
tive adventures rather than
to carefully sustained and
planned programs. To meet
this situation the building
unions should take the initi-
ative in making wage ar-
rangements with builders
who can offer continuous or
at least semi-continuous em-
ployment.

Rats are one of man's worst
animal pests, yet he helped them
to populate nearly the entire
world by carrying them in his
■hips.

Dock Workers Hit
U. S. Hiring Halls
CHICAGO — (UP) — Mari-
time unions affiliated with the
Congress of Industrial Organi-
zations charged today that gov-
ernment hiring halls were con-
trary to principles of the
Roosevelt administration and
accused the U. S. maritime com-
mission of anti-labor activity.
The charges were contained in
a legislative program outlined
by a committee appointed by
Chairman John L. Lewis to
coordinate legislative and or-
ganizational activities of 15 CIO
maritime unions.
The committee accused the
maritime commission of estab-
lishing the hiring halls under a
statute passed in 1872 to pre-
vent "shanghaiing and boarding
house methods of hiring sea-
men."
Parents Cleared In
Flag Salute Fight
ALBANY — (UP) — The New

refused to salute the American

herself could be punished.
The girl. Grace Sandstrom,
of Brookhaven, Long Island, con-
tended that saluting the flag was
a violation of the Biblical order
not to bow down to an image.
Russian Census Is
Pro vin g I)ifficu11
MOSCOW—(UP) — More than
500,000 census takers today en-
countered difficulties with su-
perstitious peasants and moun-
tain tribes in outlying parts of
Soviet Russia when they began
what is probably the largest
population count in history.
The actual count of Russia's
estimated 200,000,000 persons,
comprising the first accurate
census in Russian history, is ex-
pected to lie completed within 10
days after which 100,000 work-
ers will sort the tabulations for
several months.
Superstitious peasants and
tribes resisted the census tak-
ers because they still believe
that counting living people is?
an evil omen presaging death.
Others had to be convinced that
the census was not for military
purposes or tax assessments.
