mems of lettuce, radish and toma-
toes which he is growing. That's
one of the many reasons why the
editor thinks Mr.. johnson one Of
the best fellows in the world.

The South's Labor ADVANTAGE.

Cotton mills next door to the fields
prove an advantage to Southern
textile interests: but this is equalized
by our superior New England
climate. New England industry need
not worry for it's future SO long as it
receives fair play.
But forcing 4S-hour schedules for
New England mills and permitting go
hour weeks in the South is a disad-
vantage that present critical condi-
tons may turn to disaster In other
words, how can Augusta on the 49,
hours plan be expected to compete
With mills on so hours schedule in the
South?
Here is the south's 60 hours per
week arrangement:
From $50 \. NJ. to IL NJ: i p. NJ
to $50. five days week, with ~fve
hours on Saturday. The age limit is
twelve years. and pay every two
weeks.
1t is as much labor's problem as it
is capitals. And it is as much the
duty of every other business and in
dustry to demand equality and JUS
tice from labor laws as it is to pro-
vide child labor laws, sanitation and
industrial insurance.
With the industrial boat between
the great waves of war and prosper-
ity, It hehooves us to use both the
