Washington Letter.
THE CONSUMER WILL PAY

"There can be little question that
the general adoption of a 48 hour
week in the metal trades would in
volve a serious economic loss to the
nation" says Bulletin No. 18 of the
National Industrial Conference Board.
In the face of accumulated facts
and data which conclusively show
that living costs are made higher
through decreased production while
wages ascend, the radical element in
the unions, and particularly among
the union machinists, are agitating
the forty-four hour week as a wage
increase proposition, since all over
time would have to be paid over
basic "A hour schedule. "The social
ed eight-hour day always has been a
fiction for the purpose of securing in
creased wages" say the National
Founders Association in its weekly
letter No. 75, and the limitation of
eight hours was only used because
it seemed impossible at the time to
secure shorter working day, because
the unions were powerless to enforce
lie would have resented it,"
The American Federation of Labor
at its recent convention declared in
favor Of a forty-four hour week, be-
cause the unions believe that they
have arrived at condition of power
which will enable them to enforce
whatever they demand. The forty
four hour week, with a double time
penalty for overtime, is a direct in
centive to Stacking. This was dem
onstrated during the war when the
National War Labor Board imposed
restrictions that, unless a full days
work was given for six days in the
week, no overtime penalty could be
collected. That restriction does not
apply at the present time, and a man
who is able to get double pay for over
time will feel that it is unnecessary
to work full week. Thus produc-
tion will be further decreased, prices
necessarily increased and the labor
situation will become almost intoler-
able.
A seven hour day is suggested as a
possibility in the near future, and the
following excerpt from the Councils
report adopted at the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Convention should
be borne in mind.
There is no doubt but that in the
near future many organizations will
determine that, in order to take care
of all their members gaining liveli-
hood by employment at their trades,
it will be necessary to inaugurate a
six hour day."
Six hours per day, five days a week,
is the demand which the Union miners
are planning, and representatives of
the Indiana Federation of Labor have
already canvassed the State urging
all unions to get in line for a thirty
hour week. Over and above all this
chaotic agitation, is the fact that la
Dor, as such, is not demanding these
things, but few radical labor union
leaders are for the purpose of gain
ing control over industry and labor.
Who but the consumer will pay?

MAIL AIRPLANE STOPS IN CITY

Owosso people saw their first mail
airplane, last night, when big plane,
with 45-foot wings, circled over the
city for nearly half an hour, and then
came down in bayfield, just east of
the city. The machine was carrying
mail from Chicago to Flint, and the
pilot was not certain of his course.
The trip was the first one over a
proposed new mail route between
Chicago and Flint. If the route is
made permanent, mail from Detroit
and Saginaw will be sent to Chicago
by air. Although the route would
probably be over Owosso, there is
nothing to indicate that this city is to
get air mail service.
There were two flyers in the ma
chine, which left Chicago at 1880
o'clock. The pilot circled over Owos-
so several times, trying to find a
number to indicate what city this was
/, Under a new plan for guiding avia-
tors, all cities are supposed to be num-
bered and have their number painted
in figures ten feet high and three
and one half feet through, on their
highest building. This city has nc
such number.
The machine lighted because of a
shortage of gasoline, the pilot fear

The plane carried $50 pounds Of
mail and two large bundles of Chi
cago papers.

ANOTHER TOUR ABROAD

1t is reported that President Will
son may make voyage on the Pacific
some time in August, embarking on
the flagship of the Pacific coast. No
doubt he will give China a wide berth,
but six months sojourn in Japan for
a first-hand study of governmental
absolutism might appeal to him, and
the Japanese are mighty generous in
making presents. After all, since
President Wilson has declared for in
ternationalism as against American
nationalism, there seems no good rea-

negatives and exhaust his term of of
