suit involving $4,000 was started TO-

ed against the concern by Deputy L.
8. Marshal T.. S. Whitaker of this

His attorneys are Anderson, Carney

The declaration alleges that on July

Three counts are contained In the
allegation, one alleging that the injury
was done by a piece OF stone. another
that II was done by piece OF steel
from an imperfect tool and the third
refers to alleged negligent inspection
OF the shed where the plaintiff was en-
ployed.

Significant Figures

Now that Serene E.. Payne is no
more. it is probable that the best in
formed man In Congress on the re.
publican side on questions of tariff
rates is Joseph w. Fordney of Mich
igan. Fordney has been a member of
the house for generation and more.
and for considerable portion of that
time he has been member of the
ways and means committee. He is
famous among his colleagues for the
vast amount of detailed information
which he carries under his hat relat
Ing to tariff schedules, cost of manu-
facture, labors costs, here and abroad,
and the revenueproducing qualities
Of any tariff proposal.
Congressman Fordney recently EN-
rloyed these figures to point pro
tectionist moral in the house:
Japanese factories pay total of
$4,000 a day to 5000 employees.
1.-The United States Steel corporal
ion employs $4,000 people and pays
them s750,000 per day. ~
One doesn't have to be very expert
at mathematics to figure that labor
IN japan is costing about eighteen
cents day. while in America in the
iron and steel trade labor costs $s.9p
day. Could one ask any palmer les
son in the underlying reasons for a
protective tariff? Could ingenuity
OF the most skilful sort produce a
better reason why Aemerican working
men should vote for protective tar
if?
Could American business men, who
are absolutely dependent upon general
prosperity OF the working classes, be
given better reason for supporting
with might and main policy which
would maintain the American wage
standard.
Could the American farmer who
sells the great proportion OF his pro-
ducts to American consumers be sup
piled with soander reason for loyal
ty to the protective policy?
Ii we get down TO the Asiatic level
which heaven fo.fend--the employ
es of the American Steel corporation
who now receive $715,0O0 day for
their labor, would receive for tire
same amount OF toll just $4,000.
Here is a fresh contrast. II helps TO
drive the truth home that the only
policy whereby the American wage
scale, the highest in the world; and
the American standard of living,
| which is also the highest In the world
can be paintained is by the imposit-
ion of a protective tariff which shall
equalize labor costs here and abroad.
Volumes of translucent rhetoric,
tones of impassioned oratory in sup
port of the new freedom cannot OBJ
literate the simple truth told in the
simple statement made by Congress-
man Fordney .ARutland News.
