Barrett, Chicago Republican leader and Ward Committeeman, and a prospective candidate for the Republican m:«mwmmm July 16, before the 45th Ward Organization Picnic, at Riverview Park, declared, "A wave of serious WPA strikes, involving many thousands of our citizens, has swept across the land. Mmmngimmnymformiruflon, but we have all that the top WPA brass hats are not striking. Of course not, they‘re well off, and they know it. They don‘t have any cause to strike. Their fat salaries, which were exposed in the public prints just a few days ago, keep them contented and happy while those at the bottom of the rung of the WPA class caste, strike. _ "The high salaries of these WPA administrators, mt ing from $8,000.00 to $1,200.00 in lilinois, and running mue higher among the Wuhgg:n hierarchy, is more than most of them could make in te life. These theorists and soâ€" called social welfarists are bleeding the WPA, a supposedly nonâ€" political relief agency, leaving so much less for the actual alâ€" leviation of suffering and distress. | o 2 ____ "It is a tertible crime to thus divert funds intended to reâ€" lieve unemployment and human misery, to keep pandering poâ€" litical parasites working for a powerful political machine." This newspcieer business is a funny one at best. Almost anyone can tell the publisher how to run his newspaper, and the editor is always criticized for leaving out "the most imâ€" portant news." Then, too, newspapers always get things Perhaps these things are true. But then again those who found the error may have read fifty items and found a mistake in one of them. ‘Then, overlooking the fortyâ€"nine corâ€" rect articles, they are amused or disgusted with the one that wrong. Every error the newspaper makes is spread before the public for ridicule and censure. People usually see it, while if a merchant or clerk with whom you are dealing makes an error, no one knows about it but he and you. â€" _ Public appetite in motion pictures â€" and even radio â€" seems to be for entertainment, not enlightenment. Sensational presentation of social, political, and other problems attract great numbers of people, resulting in mass consumption of senâ€" sationalized fallacies. While the public appetite in newspapers is for information complete and unprejudiced ; and newspapers are making capable efforts to supply this information. â€" Many errors are caused by the carelessness of people who give information. They give the wrong name or accept an unâ€" verified rumor as fact and pass it on to a reporter. The good PaGL rPour newm per man‘s ideal is strict accuracy and he makes many rifices to attain it. Close cooperation between a newspaper and the residents of the community will eliminate many of the soâ€"called errors. Newspapers haveâ€"and we recognize itâ€"an obligation to the public, but as Whitelaw Reid once said: "The thing always forgotten by the closest critics of the newspaper is that they must be immeasurably what their audience makes them. . . ."
