Cedar Rapids Gazette: Reprinted
herewith is an editorial item from
Investment News which is deserving
of the attention of every man who
works for a wage, and that includes
the writer Of this column. At this
time, when factories are closing
down or reducing their working
schedules in order to regulate their
produ ctiCn in comparison to reduced
demands, when labor is no longer at
premium and hundreds Of thou
sands of men find themselves out OF
work. those workmen who still are
employed are Of necessity devoting
more time to sober thinking. In
order that they may think in terms
OF reason rather than radicalism, the
item Is reproduced here as follows ::
