A war between eastern clothing
manufacturers and theft employees
seems to be brewing. 1t results from
threatened wage reductions and at
tempts on the part of employers TO re-
turn to the piece system. This, OF
course results from the changed con-
ditions in which there are more WORK
ers than jobs. No one denies, the
workers least of all, that employees
have been kept from doing their best
in order to provide work for larger
numbers OF people. With them 1t Is
automatic that the workers deserve
their living from the industry and that
If individuals were TO be allowed to
produce at maximum speed fewer OF
them you'd be required. 1t is OBJ
vious that with four men doing three
mems work, labor charges are too
high. Whatever ones political or
economic beliefs. there is no getting
behind the fact that such a system in
wolves waste-which Is charged up to
the consumer. The strike of the lat
ter against high price has resulted In
throwing out of employment garment
makers to the estimated number of
20. 600. It looks as tho those who
want to work will be compelled to ac-
cept lower pay or do more work.

A Democratic congressman from
Louisiana has introduced bill to in
crease the duties on rice. sugar and
sugar cane products. This will bring
another protest from the manufactur-
ing states, which will insist that their
products be included in any new tariff
law. And who can blame them? Amy
legislation that raises the price Of food
products makes it necessary to pay
increased wages. Hpw, then, can the
manufacturers be expected to COM
pete with the products of European
factories?
