AN INTERESTING question with regard to the wage levels and the number of unemployed is raised by the New York Times in a recent editorial. Wage increases are taking place, it points out, despite the fact that an estimated eight or,nine million persons are on the unemployed list. "Just as unsold stocks of a commodity are usually an indication that the price of that commodity is too high, so an ab- normal volume of unemployment, many eoo mists believe, is frequently an indication that wage rates are already too high in relation with other conditions. Whether that is so or not, labor cannot afford to forget that its real aim is not high wage rates for fortunate individuals, but the greatest possible total of wage payments -an aim that implies full employment and the cost-price relationships that make full employ- ment possible." This is an interesting problem, but it is not yet a factor in present labor adjustments. Under the ideal conditions of classical econo- mics, any artificial raising of wages or curtail- ment of production through trade-unions results in unnatural increases in the cost of produc- tion, with the result that less is produced and prices are higher. But the assumption of ideal conditions is purely scientific abstraction. Under actual conditions, the competitive position of labor and employers is not equal, and the super- ior bargaining power of employers has historic- ally depressed the returns of labor below the fair return which it would have received had bargain- ing positions been on the plane of equality as- sumed. That this is' true may be judged from the bonuses paid out in many industries, includ- ing automobiles, last December, and at other times. Consider too the extraordinary dividends recently declared. Whatever may have been the motives for these bonuses and dividends-whe- ther they were created to escape the surplus tax, or from pure generosity-it is true that these sums had been gained from the profits which had been won over and above the noimal return on the investment which may be expected for risk and responsibility-bearing, as the surplus gained by superiority of bargaining power over unor- ganized labor. The work of organizing labor has proceeded with extraordinary rapidity during these last few months under the aegis of the Committee for Industrial Organization, and this work of organ- ization has already resulted in numerous wage increases, as we pointed out yesterday. But labor is far from the position where it must be cautious less it ask too large a return, and thus cause the abnormal unemployment about which 22nd Amendment 13-Year Child-Labor Fight Grows (From the Columbia Spectator) A T NO TIME during the 13-year battle to gain passage of the Child Labor Amendment has the hope of ratification been more prom- ising than today. Although factions in the fight here in New York State have already aligned themselves for the final test in the Assembly, the possibility of acceptance by ten more states to complete the required 36 is bright. The lineup of partisans on the issue is strangely different today from what is was one year ago. Following the lead set by President Roosevelt and Governor Landon during the Presidential campaign, inumerable individuals and groups have cast their lot with the forces fighting the scourge of child labor with the only effective weapon available - national legislation. Former President Herbert Hoover added his approval to the President's position shortly after Mr. Roosevelt circularized the Governors of the 19 states which had not yet approved the amendment early last month. Into the fold, also, came the New York Times, the Lhisville Courier-Journal, the Hearst papers and the Gannett chain. Nevada added its sanction to bring the number of states to 26. Meanwhile the generalissimo of the opposition, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, attempted to set aside the personal appeal of President Roose- velt by following the latter's letters to the Governors with missives of his own designed to show that child labor no longer exists and anyway, if it does, it should be outlawed by the same type of legislation used to control inter- state commerce in prison-made goods. Children and convicts together make an appealing picture. Significant Statistics BEHIND DR. BUTLER in his courageous fight to uphold the principle of states' rights, come what may, are the .American Bar Associa- tion, the profit-hoarding National Association of Manufacturers, the National Committee for Pro- tection of Child, Family, School and Church and the ultra-patriotic Sentinels of the Republic among others. Dr. Butler's appeal is based primarily on a contention that child labor no longer exists. Yet the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor reported recently that'8,400 employment certificates for children from 14 to 15 years of age had been issued in the first five months of 1936 as against 3,350 in the corresponding months of 1935, a rise of 150 per cent. Said the Bureau: This increase in the employment of chil- dren under 16 is no doubt attributable in part to the increase in employment in all age groups, but it is most significant that the tendency of child labor to follow the general trend of industrial employment has again appeared after it had been effectively checked for a two-year period by a nation- wide minimum standard. Dr. Butler also claims that the Amendment, having been hanging fire for 13 years, is no longer valid. On this point the Supreme Court has ruled thatan amendment must be passed within a "reasonable" length of time unless a defiinite period is specified in the bill. - There is no time limit set in the pending Amendment As for the legality of a state's approving the amendment after having previously rejected it, there exists sufficient precedent to dismiss any claim of the opposition that it is illegal. Small Comfort . .. F THAT FACTION, and particularly the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers, was sin- cerely interested in abolishing child labor, it would readily admit the impossibility of sub- jecting the problem to the same treatment ac- corded convict labor. Inspection at every source of labor in the long and complicated manu- facture of even the most insignificant com- modities in use today would create an almost incomprehensibly complex inspection system. It is not simply a problem of approving and labelling one finished unit, but of investigating and sanctioning each minute process in the man- ufactuxe, transportation and !Distribution of every item of raw material and of every finished product. The idea would be ludicrous if the results were not so tragic. While the tory press continues to label the Amendment, "Youth Control," the deserters from the hostile camp grow in numbers. Sup- porters of the Amendment and the public in general are rapidly learning the true designs of the vehement opposition. The increasing num- ber of substitute bills, all of unworkable national or helter-skelter state nature, shows the fear of the vested interests that soon they may no longer be "creating wealth . . . upon the backs of children who need to be in school instead of having their youth ground out of them at labor." As-for Dr. Butler's stand on principles, Hey- wood Broun's recent comment is fitting: I see no reason why serious disti'nctions should be made between the mill owner who opposes the Child Labor Amendment for the sake of profit and the university professor or the publicist who opposes it on the ground of "principle." The net result is the endur- ance of child labor and it will be small com- fort to any twelve-year old at a spindle to be informed that he continues to toil not because of the rapacity of the boss but because some great intellectual so loves the Constitution that he would sacrifice the souls of many so that it may endure. Some time ago the Atlantic Monthly reprinted the complete text of this literary oddity: "In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and articulating your superficial sentimentalities and psychological observations, beware ,of platitudi- IT ALL BENEATH **** --~~-By Bonth Willias- L AST NIGHT, I don't know how many, but a lot, of freshmen packed the ball room of the Union to hear Dean Joseph A. Bursley discuss extra-curricular activities and to meet the big promoters who run them. It fell:to my lot to introduce the heads of the various campus organizations to the class of 1940. Here are those same typewriter shots. JOHNNY PARK-Staid business manager o The Daily who guards the purse strings with long arguments and whittles expense accounts down to nothing. Parky's ambition in life is to be a successful young business man. So far he has assumed the mannerisms and the attire, the suc- cess will come later. GRANT BARNES-The mismanager of the money matters of the Gargoyle has a habit of neglecting bills and as a result generally has' to plead with the printer to get the month's supply of books on credit. LLOYD STRICKLAND-Strick is the strong, silent man of the Publications building, who looks after the financial interests of the 'Ensian, when there are any. Dubbed 'Papoose Eye' by Michigamua because of his baby face, Strick does a good job, and keeps his female staff workers comparatively happy. FRANKIE DANNEMILLER-Frank, the other half of the 'Ensian, is a moral reformer at heart, and lives by the clock. President of his frater- nity and satchem of the Tribe, Frank is prob- ably the most efficient managing editor the year- book has ever had. MARSH SHULMAN-Marsh is the real thinker of this year's crop of Publications men. From his pen come most of the truly good editorials which occasionally grace The Daily, and it has been almost through his single handed efforts that The Michigan Daily Goodfellow drive has been innovated and carried out so successfully for the past two years. FRED WARNER NEAL-Fred Warner Neal, ardent Republican, and product of the thriving metropolis of Northville, has written more stories for The Daily in four years than any other three men. Little dynamite would like nothing better than to sit behind a city desk and bellow confus- ing orders to a host of groveling subordinates. BOB WILLIAMS-Bob is the lark throated triller of the assembly here tonight. Enmeshed deep in the toils of the Law School, barrister Bob still finds time to lend his golden voice to the glee club and sing Michigan songs that no one else has ever heard of. BILL STRUVE=There's not a word of truth in the story that Wahr's Book Store put Bill's pic- ture in the window in return for a small cash remuneration. As recording secretary of the Union, Herr Struve signs and countersigns all kinds'of things. He almost got lost in Texas when he and Herb Wolfe went to the Union con- vention there earlier this year. BOB BALDWIN-Silent, efficient, and very capable expresses the personality of Michigan Technic Editor Bob Baldwin who puts out the campus engineering publication every month. GEORGE COSPER-George Cosper, interfra- ternity council president, has vigorously denied the rumor that it was upon his advice that President Ruthven acted when he forbade Marcia Connell to represent Michigan in the Big Ten Beauty Contest. George, whose cup of joy slops all over his immaculately tailored clothes when- ever he presides at a council meeting, has also been instrumental in raising the scholarship de- mands of various fraternities. ERNIE JONES-Ernie is the rosy cheeked maestro of the Varsity Band who never lets fall an opportunity to get in front of a mike. It was his voice which you heard in the Stadium last fall explaining just what the hell the band was doing. HUBY BRISTOL-Basketball Manager Bris- tol bases his claim to fame on- two charges. One, he once saved the day at the Northwestern bas- ketball game by sweeping pennies off the floor, and he once fanagled in politics with almost dis- astrous results. Besides all of which, Huby is a darn fine fellow. MILLER SHERWOOD-If you ever have cause to be hailed before the University Disciplinary Committee, Miller will be the tall good looking fellow who acts as doorman. Captain of the ten- nis team and a real sportsman, Miller has done a great job on the Men's Council. DICK CLARK-Dick might well be dubbed the young radical. President of the S.C.A. which is the instrument behind the freshman rendezvous camp, Dick is a defender of the oppressed. He it was who as the chairman of the Men's Council Committee on Student Labor 'investigated the Michig Inn and told the proprietor to come over and see him. He did, with a lawyer. GIL TILLES-It is generally advisable to save the tastiest morsel until last. While a mere glance at his bulbous figure will reveal that Gargoyle Editor Gil Tilles is no morsel, he is, in the ver- nacular, meat for the columnist. Gil is a great kidder.

Although . Gypsies was probably made to show that problem of ad- justing these wandering tribes to the new civilization of the Soviet Union,t the propaganda is not forced on us.7 It stays well in the background and lets the characters and action take the principal place. It is hard to recall in any recent picture-or any other, either-a character so com- plete, so comic in the highest sense of the word-comic in the same way as Falstaff-as Danilo, the gypsy leader. And he is only one of many others worked into the absorbing nar- rative. The action climaxes in a fight be-' tween Danilo and another gypsy leader. It is a hand-to-hand com- bat according to the gypsy laws- with whips instead of swords. Be-J sides being unusual it has all the ex- citement which the fight and chase has always had in the movies. The audience at the Mendelssohn last night seemed to enjoy the com- edy, went away humming and whist- ling the gay and intense gypsy airs.3 THEATRE William De Mille WILLIAMC. DE MILLE, one of the H 11 pioneer motion picture directors, will be the next speaker on the Town Hall Series that is being held every Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit. He will speak on Two Decades in Hollywood next Wednesday, Feb. 24. "The biggest problem facing Holly- wood," said Mr. DeMille in a recent interview, is "finding the right stories and enough of them." Signing the successful author to come to Holly- wood to write scenarios on contract is like killing the goose that laid the golden egg, he believes, for under the strenuous demands of therstudios the writers find themselves unable to do the creative writing which would provide superior material. However, Mr. DeMille considers the outlook for better and more interest- ing films to be good. The public is demanding a higher standard than it used to. "The man on the street," he says, "is more open-minded than he was. The depression has made him more interested in the questions in- volved in social and economic condi- tions. This situation created a de- mand for films like Fury and Black Legion and is a sign that audiences in general are growing up in their taste." Among best of the new films Mr. DeMille places Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, The Good Earth, Lloyds of London and San Francisco. He was associated with the studios of Pathe, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Para- mount for many years. For three years he was president of the Aca- demy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He. was one of the first authors to enter the motion picture field from the stage. In the early days pictures' were made from his The Warrens of Virginia, Strong- heart, The Land of the Free and' Forest Ring.

Health Service 1 Broadens Figfht To Banish T-B, Policy Of X-Ray For Every Student Proves Effective Weapon, Brace Reports By HAROLD GARN EDITOR'SNOTE: This is the third in ] a series of articles on the tuberculin test which will be given Feb. 23 through 27 by the Health Service for sophomore, junior and senior women. The Health Service staff has always been interested in pulmonary tuber- culosis and has been on the alert to discover any new cases, Dr. Wil- liam M. Brace of the Health Service said yesterday. "Between 1928 and 1935 about 25 new cases were found each year," he said. "Some of these were of the early type and others were of the far ad- vanced. The majority of the far advanced were found in our foreign students, especially the Chinese. This fact led the staff of the Health Serv- ice to obtain chest X-rays of all en- tering foreign students, Dr. Brace said. A Negroes And Indians X-Rayed Because the incidence of pulmon- ary tuberculosis is high in the Negro and in the Indian, a chest X-ray was also made with their entrance into the University, Dr. Brace said. "Both last year and this it has been financially possible to provide a chest X-ray of all new students," he declared. In 1935-36 out of the 3,340 who were given X-rays, 43 inactive cases were found and 14 active cases, he stated. This year 3,360 students have been given X-rays, and out of this number 15 active cases were found and 23 inactive cases, Dr. Brace declared. 11 Sent to Sanatoria "This year 11 students were sent to sanatoria and four were allowed to remain in school under close, fre- quent observation," Dr. Brace said. After an active case has been treat- ed and rendered non-infectious, Dr. 'Brace said, the student is permitted to resume a part or all of his Uni- versity schedule only if his physician so advises. "This period of treatment often takes six months to a year, or more," he declared. Sometimes the student carries out his treatment under supervision of the Health Serv- ice staff, together with the observa- Alpha Kappa Delta' will hold its regular meeting tonight at 8 p.m. at the Michigan League.
