Mr.. and MIS-. Kennedy are very

gentleman is an able speaker and a
great worker, and the Oakland church
is to be congratulated on securing his
services. He returns to his pastoral
duties because he realizes the fact
that the church needs ministers to
carry on its work in this State as he
feels that he can be of no more ser

evident reason that the farmer can
not buy as many clothes at the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on a par with
the compensation OF these people
with whom he is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
carners in all the industries. The
wage-workers in agriculture nave
the situation before their eyes, and
have Welded to it promptly. The
wages OF farm hands have dropped
approximately one-half. Farm hands
were close enough to the situation
to see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers, railroad en-
ploves and town workers generally
are many OF them working for the
farmers and will have to lace the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold. and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out OF balance Recovery viii

cannot come otherwise.
1t is greatly to the credit OF the
wage-earners as class that the
process OF readjustment has pro-
ceeded with as little friction as has
been the case thus Jar. Generally
there has been Willingness to make
concessions. 1t is not advisable that
the movement should be unduly
pressed. 1t is better to take more
time. although DELAY means that the
losses are greater, for the wage
earners are entitled to know why
lower wages are necessary. They
are interested in having the neces-
sary readjust:nents made in order
that industry may be on basis that
will afford steady and full en-
ployment.

has been contcnded. and with much
force. that living costs should lead
rather than follow, wage reductions,
and they have led at the expense OF
the earnings of farmers and at the

but they have reached point where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
a loss of purchasing power to wage
earncrs, for the very reason that
wages arc now the principle factor
in prices, and the cost OF living.
generally speaking, will decline
accordingly.
On the other hand if further re-
auctions are not made in the in
dustries indicated. living costs are
likely to rise Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose of
curtailinp the production of agri-
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be Is Per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtall the production OF food
stutfs. These policies are justified
by the combinations of wage-earners
and others to maintain wages and
the prices of town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system OF restriction is
wrong and i'll the end defeats the
purpose in view of lettering living

When everybody practices it the
result is poorer living conditions for

tanned for every group OF workers
