THE 44-HOUR WEEK.

economically unsouud rests on the en-
roneous and anti-social promise that
returns on capital must receive first
consideration, while human labor and
the legitimate aspirations of labor must
subordinate themselves to the claims
made in behalf of inanimate capital.
We are told that the alleged decrease
in efficiency under a 44-hour week
would prevent the employers from al.
justing the printing industry so as to
meet existing conditions, which, they
say, call for a lowering Of the p-ice Of
printing. This means adjustment ac-
cording to their choice aud liking, max

order to maintain an undiminished mar

week, and as matter Of fact, the
prediction has been made in bulletins
Of employing printers in other sections
Of the country THAT before the end
Of 1921 a majority Of the successful
printing concerns Of this country will
be operating on the Jo-hour basis. -
To the cost of printing labor con.
tributes only from one-fourth to one
third of the total. 1t is to be noted
that there is n startling discrepancy
in many cases between what compost
tor, for instance, actually gets per hour
and what the customer pays for compo-
sition per hour. \ new light would
dawn on many q customer if he were to
take the pains to probe this matter
further.
The paramount reason for the con-
tinuancc Of the high cost Of printing is
the one to which the Federal Trade
Commission, in its recent report to
President Harding, gave general appli-
Aation, namely, the existence Of organ
asations, such as open-priee associations,
which bring about secret understand.

Germs that compete for sales jn many

cost of printing itself.
The unions of workmen in the print
ing industry are not disposed to forcgo
their right to better life and living
so that the prevailing exorbitant rate
of profit in the paper and printing in.

and the echo of the mighty shout the

members said later it was the most re-

Finally, when some semblance of order
was restored, Blanton declared that he,

heard after that. for the uproar got be-

The attack on Mr.. Blanton was the
elimination of many made heretofore
by members who charged that he was
sentimentally blocking legislation by

Evening star., 1921-02-18

Hoots catcalls and the word false
were shouted on the floor of the House
yesterday in the stormiest session in
years The uproar started when Rep
resentative Summers of Texas, having
left a sick bed. appeared in the House
and, supported by most members of
his own state delegation. launched an
attack on his colleague, Representa-
tive Blanton.
Rumors, had been circulated about
the House for days that the Texans
were preparing to make the attack on
their fellow member, but it was held
off until Mr.. Summers was physically
able to direct it. When he stepped
forward. with faded newspaper clip
ping in his hand. nearly every mem
Der was on the floor.
Read by the clerk of the House. the
clipping revealed that Mr.. Blanton, in
a letter to Texas newspapers. had
plan to raid the Treasury and obtain
salary increases. which he alone had
prevented heretofore. The press was
asked to help, and many papers to
which appeal was made responded
with bitter assaults upon those charg-
ed with backing the alleged salary grab.
Shakes Fist Mt Blanton.
Il
chamber as the reading Was concluded,
where Mr.. Blanton was seated. shook
his fist in the latter's face and dra-
matically shouted:
"And when YOU sent that statement
to Texas you knew it was as false as
hell"
The House broke into a wild shout,
half the membership rising. Blanton.
jumping to his feet and trying 20 make
himself heard above the din demanded
the right to speak He was howled
down. the chair sustaining point OF
order that he could not be heard at
privilege.
Mr.. Summers, walking back and forth
continued the attack. Mr.. Blanton's eyes
following every step. The speech was
constantly interrupted with shouting at
the conclusion of almost every sentence
of denunciatlon.
Sumner Denies Blanton's Claim.
Mr.. Summers declared the record
showed that no effort had been made
to slip through a salary increase bill,
and that Mr.. Blanton's claim that he
was forced to remain constantly on the
floor to block it was utterly absurd and
untrue. The question had come up
twice in the present Congress. Mr.. Sum
mers said. and it was knocked out on
Byrns. democrat, Tennessee and once by
representative Wood. republican, In
diana. Mr. Blanton he asserted. was
no, even I'm on the wake.
The demonstration reached remark
able proportions when tap OF the
gaveI marked the close of the time al
ioted for the speech. Democrats, first
on their feet in a body. were Joined at
the same instant by every republican.
There was a rush to the front as
members struggled to grasp Mr.. Sum
ners by the hand.
Above the tumult Blanton strove
vainly to make himself heard. AS Mr..
Summers turned toward his seat an
other group of members started to-
ward him to offer congratulations
Mr.. Blanton again attempted to gain
a hearing, his voice still pitched high.
Again he was howled down, as dozen
republicans insisted on enforcement
of the rule that he take his seat.
Campbell shouts Denial.
After the hubbub had kept up for
several minutes Chairman Slemp of
the subcommittee in charge of the
fortifications bill, which was before
the House, gave the Texan three
minutes to reply, but nobody could
