Whether the cotton workers and the

mands is purely a matter OF business
and not of ethics. They are evidently
entitled to all that is coming to them"

and not on wage scales as made by the
employers or on estimates made by the
labor leaders except as these may have
taken into consideration those laws.

mand for labor just now that there

slowed up a little. going up only two
degrees, as though gathering strength
for the final squirt. Even the mercury
itself must have felt warm after what

the mercury has reached during the
month of April was reached on April
