charging all they could get They
were quiet defiant, and some Of the
companies made very big money.
The big profits created popular an
tagonism. This resulted in the estab-
lishment Of the parcel post. Some Of
the companies went out Of business,
while others with weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth accepted lower rates. If
they had charged reasonable rates in
the first place, 1t is not likely that
the government would have ever
bothered to compete with them.
A fair price is not determined by
finding out what the people will pay
for necessaries when driven by the
pressure of monopoly or by other ex-
igency. 1t is to be based on the cost
of production, plus reasonable in

for the brains and energy of the pro-
ducer. Few people would say that a
price of Sc is fair return on cost

NIGHT WORKERS.

The rush of the war munition and
supply business is leading many
gangs of night workers to be formed.
Factories find that they can double
their product by keeping their ma
chinery busy continuously. Many
young men seem to enjoy the hours,
as after they get their sleep in the
morning they get considerable free
time afternoons.
Some people argue that the cost of
all kinds Of production could be re-
duced in this way. One factory and
equipment serves two sets of work
ers, so overhead costs should theo-
retically be reduced. A contrary
view is that night gangs do not work
as efficiently, owing to artificial
light and other causes. 1t is also ar

SACRIFICES FOR THE CHILDREN

It is a pretty sight to see the chill
dren setting off to school in their
new clothes on these bright fall
mornings. For a time at least until
the new has worn off, they look pret-
ty stylish.
There is one thing on which the
American people are unanimous, and
that is in favor of education. Public
sentiment is leading people to keep
children in school longer than for
merly. It is seen that the youngster
who drops out before reaching the
high school stands poor chance in
life.
When a family has decided this
fall to keep on sending the older chill
dren to school instead Of putting
them to work, it means saving and
scrimping in many cases If the girl
has a new gown, mother has prob
ably got to wear her old dress. The

THE BOY WORKERS.

1t has been an interesting sight to
go out on the farms this summer
and see the gangs of boys that have
been working. While boys have al
ways worked on the farms of their
fathers and the neighborG, never be-
fore have such large gangs been or
ganized in towns and cities to get
out in the country, and help pull the
farmer out of the hole created by
scarcity of labor.
One boy who tried this experience
tells Of working with gang of fifty
Boy Scouts on large market gar
den. The farmer was in despair at
the way work was piling up ahead of
him. Early fields could not be har-
vested because Of lack of help, and
the later crops we're being spoiled
with weeds.
Finally he applied to the Boy Scout
organization of a nearby town and
a special meeting was called. The
farmer presented his case and urged
the boys to take hold out of patriot.
ism and help finish up his crops. OF
twenty boys present, eighteen volun
teered, and others came in later.
OF course the results accomplished
were not proportionate to the number
OF the workers. One of the boys sai(
1t looked to him as II it took about
two boys to do the work of man
The boys were strong and agile ant
learned quickly. The great trouble
was that they could not stop TALKING
and fooling. While they were pick
ing tomatoes every overripe specimen
was seized as very handy missile
Woe to the hoy who had an unusua
looking hat or who finished his stun
too quick He soon received uniqu
and brilliant decoration.
However, the very first mornin
the boys got the weeds out of a two
acre patch of celery, and stirre,
around the roots, making things lool
vastly different. So it went on al
the week 1t helped the farme
around bad corner. In all larg
towns this reserve of labor has no
been half utilized as yet. 1t need
close supervision, but 1t is capable O
doing a lot.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-09-17

gued that machinery needs a rest as
well as people.
For the majority Of people night
work is more exhausting than day la
Dor. Many night workers find 1t
hard to sleep through the morning,
owing to the light and to neighbor-
hood noises. Some try to darken
their rooms to get the night feeling,
but this tends toward foul air, and
the same result can be had by a black
cloth band over the eyes.
Most newspaper people at one time
or another have tried the night work
game, They find the worst Of 1t is
that 1t cuts off the worker socially
from his kind, as he is busy when
other people are free and free when
other people are busy.
AS the costs Of factory production
increase, and machinery and build
ings become more expensive, the
night work proposition seems likely
to come into more general use for
the full utilization of the mechanical
resources of the country. In sum-
mer it is particularly satisfactory as
the task is performed in the cool
hours. Night workers do well to
seek secluded neighborhoods where
they will not be disturbed during
their sleeping hours by the rattle
bang of traffic.

PROFIT GRABBING.

An Illinois coal operator, recently
testifying before a Missouri commits
sion, said that his company had been
able to get as much as Sc a ton on
some of their coal that cost them
only 81. He defended the price on
the ground that they could get It. I"
He argued that other people charge
all they can get, and that no lawyer
would do a piece of work for IS If he
could get $40 for it.
This may be true, yet capitalists
should realize that II their industries
are to remain on a secure foundation,
they must charge only reasonable
prices. The express companies a few
years ago tried out this idea OF
