REDISTRIBUTION on LABOR

Thousands of workmen engaged in
the making of mems clothing have
been thrown out of employment dur
ing the month. At the same time ad-
vertising pages of the metropolitan
newspapers are carrying bold an
nouncements of reductions in prices
Of these goods. that show very clearly
that the country has been over-stock-
ed. The big shoe factories of the
country have been making reduc-
tons in their crews, and at the same
time metropolitan shoe dealers are
grudgingly lowering their profiteering
prices. The munition towns which in
clude Bridgeport. HopeweIl, and les
ser points have been hard hit by IN
dustrial conditions. and many Of the
places are already in the class of de
serted villages"
For several years people have been
deserving the farms. evidently prefer
ing industrial occupations which per-
mitted them to live in the large cities,
closer to the movies and the white
lights, With Europe at war there was
plenty to do for everybody, and when
the United States got into the mess the
greatest accession to the industrial
ranks still found shortage of labor.
All of this industrial activity has
borne its fruits, and it is not strange
that is has been found that there are
too many guns and revolvers around
Bridgeport, too many ships at Hog Is
land. and more powder than is needed
at Washington. At the same time, De-

buggies. The strike in the steel IN
dustry last fall caused the wage-work-
ers Of the country to blacklist the
steel trust The result has been that
there has been an interpretation in
this field.
The inventory discloses the unmis-
taxable fact that in large number Of
industries that have been considered
IN the first class" by wage-workers
that production has caught up with
herself and that there is already SUR
plus of labor. In some other fields of
employment in the industrial line,
where the work has not been so allur-
ing, or the hours as short, or the pay
as big, the day Of the over-suppIy Of
labor has not yet arrived, although it
IS noticeable that these institutions are
catching up with their orders.
Still, there is work for everybody
to do. The farms of the country are
crying for helpers. and every man out
of job in the cities can get back to
work if he will forsake the bright
Nights and become useful as well as or
namental in caring for the growing
crops that are to feed humanity during
the coming months. There is neither
an over-supply of labor in the country
as is indicated in some Of the indus-
tries nor a shortage Of labor, as the
conditions on the farms would lead
some to believe. The situation simply
calls for a radical redistribution of
people who are willing to do useful
work.

THE CHANGING EVIDENCE

One of our contemporaries, com
menting on the barbecue which was
to be he'd Monday at LeesviIle inti-
mated that the rough stuff" would
not be permitted.
1t is a significant fact that some
times bunch of "rough-necks" used
to congregate at such social doiings
as Parish fairs, barbecues, and patri-
otto demonstrations and start some
thing" Maybe they would tear down
part of the fence and gain admission
without paying or stealSthe barbecued
meat in chunks and get much more
than they could eat.
But those days are swiftly passing,
thanks to the lessons learned in the
late war. Men whose parochial IDEAS
were limited by their acquaintance
with local conditions have been
abroad and assimiIated an education
which has changed their attitude.
They have mingled with their brothers
from the North. and with their cousins
across the water, and they are better
men for it.
Never again will stunted aspect
cause such conduct.

WATER POWER BILL

Washington. D. c., July 5th-If the
things that are expected to result from
the passage Of the water power act are
realized. now that this measure is a
law, the fuel resources of the country
will be conserved to very large ex-
tent. There is every reason to expect
that those sections of the country for
tunate enough to have water power
will reap material benefits, since
cheaper power will be obtained thru
hydroelectric development, which will
carry its loads. of power TO industrial
institutions within a great radius of
the central water power plant
The steam, gas, and water operative
plants of the United States have an
estimated total of 100000 horse
power. The potential horsepower on
sites controlled by the Government
and which will be available under the
new law are estimated at 100000
horse power. Water power rights on
all public lands. forest reservations,
Indian reservations, and navigable
streams may be leased for a period Of
fifty years, with privileges at the ex-
piration of that date that will serve to
preserve the original investment. 1t is

used, steam will be Swaziland steam
means coal; coal means greater bur-
dens for the railroads. In short, water
power is. an inexhaustible source,
whereas, power manufactured from
coal or oil is created at the expense
of our natural resources, which have
been diminished at such an alarming
extent in recent years as to cause
great concern.

Here is Mr. Dougherty's letter:
TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

When | came into the Colony some
two years ago. opened an agricul-
tural class in the evenings; and at my
request, received the assistance of
the State University at Baton Rouge,
La. But through lack of appreciation
on the part Of the Colony the class was
discontinued. Another vry good rea-
son was that when the men came in
from the fields in the evening
tired from the days work; (Which in
many cases. if not in every case, was
a lesson in itself, if strict attention was
given the work. too tired to spend
even an hour without wanting to go
to sleep, plainly the result of the days
work in the fields.

that almost any question in agricul-
ture, horticulture, or dairy work that
anyone wants answered, and submits
the question to me at my Office dur
