Negro Workers Barred.
Packers here decided that no ne

believed colored workers should be
barred until race hatred had abated.
More than 1000 negroes had been
employed at the packing houses.
Frank Jacob, white, a painter, to-
day confessed he set fire to several
negro houses yesterday, adding a

INCREASE IN WAGES.
Fort Worth Record.

Fort Worth Record.
The National City bank of New
York notes as fundamental error
that of assuming that the living con-
ditions of the masses of the people
can be improved by simply pushing
up money wages and shortening the
hours of labor. The argument is that
IL is possible that certain groups
may improve their relative positions
in this way, making gains for them
selves at the expense OF other wage
earning groups. but such an accOmp-
lishment does not raise the general
position OF labor.
The iron and steel industries and
workers have obtained wage adj
vances aggregating 100 per cent since
the beginning of the war, which is
more than the average advance in
all the industries. The selling prices
OF steel and textile products have
been advanced accordingly, and the
workers in all other industries are
paying the bill.
1.-THE only gains" says the bank,
"that signify general benefit are
those which represent an improve
ment in the standard OF living for
the masses of people, giving more
leisure and more comforts which
they crave. There are gains for which
society should unitedly strive, but
wage advances alone do not bring
them. Indeed, wage advances which
simply put up prices on. consumers
are so disappointing that they result
in embittering the waSe-workers
against the whole social order. be
cause they feel that they have some
how been cheated out of what had
ostensibly been conceded. If each line
of industry will contrive to increase
its production. thus having more to
offer in exchange. it is evident that
the workers in every line Will have
more for consumption.
"The experience of industry during
the war has shown that vast gains
are, possible simply by the full and
well-organized employment of all in
dustriaI forces. Scientific learning
is modified for the assistance OF
the industry more effectively than
ever before, and permanent results
will follow. Finally, the greatest
influence for the Improvement OF
social conditions will be found in
more harmonious relations between
employers and employees
