MR.. SCHWAB'S LATEST:

We are. indebted to the Chicago
Tribune for the following:
II am sorry, but am not in favor
Of the soldiers bonus ,bil1," said
Charles M. schwab today. "t,tIf I had
been World War soldier and had
come out unhurt I would be 50 proud
of having had the opportunity. to
fight for my beloved country that I
would not touch nickel of bonus. :"
Charles NJ. schWab, in a sense, was
a "World War soldier.'' During a
considerable part Of the war he was
connected with the United States
Shipping Board, which expend ed bill
lions Of dollars Of the peoples money.
During all that. time. the concerns
he controls were making tens Of mil
lions of dollars out Of government
contracts. It has been publicly as
serted that some of his corporations
robbed the government In support
Of this claim one Of the most distin.

truth or falsity Of the charges. Up
to date Mr.: Schwab: has not accepted
the challenge. Neither has he shown
the slightest disposition to return the
millions Of excess: profits which he
wrung from his country in it's hour
of need.
And we might pause here a moment
to, recall. the. interesting fact that
this, is the same Charles NJ. sehway
who laid the foundations of his great
fortune, by selling his government
armor plate which was full Of blow
holes.
Mr.. schwab says; that If he had an
opportunity: 'fto> fight for his beloved
country' he would: refuse to, "touch

Evidently Mr.. .Schwab,. feels that
only those who did, not: fight for their
country should be permitted to get

OPPOSE. CAN'T. T.STRIKE: Law

The Kansas "can't-strike" law,
with. several additions, was intro-
duced in the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture, but the authors have made the
mistake, of being logicai; and apply
ing the same handcuff process; to
employers that is intended for labor.
The result has been a, hollow. sound
as far as employers are concerned,
and it is predicted. that the bill is
dead, unless the employers can be
protected"
At a hearing. by legislative COM
mittee, labor was. prepared. to fight,
but to the workers surprise no voice
was raised in favor Of the bill. The
chairman of the COMMITTEES: asked
for a. rising vote to test the senti-
ment and the attorney for the manu-
facturers' association voted with the
unionists. - !;
1t is stated that the, employers are
"fundam entally" in accord with the
bill, but that there are too many re-
strictions against the employer. -
This is the kind Of "fundament-
als' that the boss has in mind when
he favors a "can't-strike" law drawn

FLEEC1NG FARMERS

\ snappy little short story uncop-
sciously telling all about how the
farmer is fleeced by Wall Street, La
Sale Street and the other minor
streets, has just been written.
The story is not fiction; it is fact.
It was written by Goodbody & Co..
l15 Broadway, New York, members
Of the New York Stock Exchange, and
publishers of a financial letter for the
benefit of those who benefit by such
things.
This short story, written by; this
financial house shows that if the grail,
raised by farmers last year could have
The labor world., 1922-04-01

been sor at present prices the farm
ers would have got more than one bill
lion two hundred million dollars more
than the grain was worth at the prices
for which more than two.thirds Of it
was sold. :, ''
1t is an old story that grain prices
generally run highest after the farm
er has sold and before the new crop is
nearly ready.
But read what Goodbody & Co. have
to say:
:'The key to the recent strength in
the stock market is undoubtedly the
rapidly rising prices for farm pro
duets. Wheat has risen 40 cents, corn
20 cents and oats 10 cents a bushel
from the recent low levels. An aver
age increase of 20 cents on the $780,
100000 bushels of grain raised in this
country would add 020,O00,000 to
the purchasing power. of our farmers,
if all of their grain could be sold at
these higher prices. Unfortunately for
the farmers but fortunately for twice
as many Of us who consume farm pro-
ducts, probably not more than one.
third of the grain has been or will be
sold, by farmers, at these higher
prices.'
The only diiculty with. the story is
that the "twice as many of us' have
failed to find the advantage" Of the
lower prices that prevailed while the
farmer was doing most Of his selling.
The farmer lost and the wage earners
lost.
Those who reaped this harvest Of
one billion two hundred million dol
lars, and more, are those who merely
gamble, who never sow nor reap and
who do no useful work on farm or in
shop.

UPHoLDs RENT LAWS

For the third time. within a year the
United States supreme court has ruled
that where housing conditions are bad,
even the sacredness.: of contract must
give way to- the peoples welfare. The
court 3 latest decision upholds the: le-
gality of the New York emergency
housing and anti -profiteering laws,
which takes from gouging landlords
the right to fix rental charges.
The court. said that the New York
housing shortage resulted in unsanit-
ary. conditions, disease, immortality,
discomfort and widespread social dis
content. Under these conditions, the
court: said, the state Legislature; has
the right to exercise its. wide. powers
to: promote the health, morality, CON-
fort and peace Of the people:
The court reaffrmed. it's Judgment in
the Brown case, appealed last year
from New York city. and tha Block
decision, appealed from Washington,
D. G.:
The three decisions show: wide diff
ferences Of opinion among the judges,
In his minority opinion in. the. Block
case Justice. McKenna expressed views
Of unusual sharpness. He declared, in
effect, that the court has departed
from its constitutional moorings and
abandoned it's ancient stand on the
sacredness Of contract and property
rights. Justice McKenna insisted that
the majority of his colleagues were
upholding law that permitted a ten
ant to violate contract that he
would vacatc: an apartment when his
lease expired.
Joining with Justice McKenna were
Chief Justice White and Associate
Justices Van Devanter and Mercy
nolds.
The justices took the same position
in the other rent law cases. In the
present New York case the defenders
Of landlord regulation have been
strengthened by. Chief Justice Taft,
who succeeded the late Chief Justice
White. The court now stands six to
three, rather than five to four, as it
did last year. 80
These three decisions will have q
far-reaching effect, as they permit
state legislature to combat rent-rack-
ing landlords during emergencies.
This theory may be applied to other
cases, which caused Justice McKenna
to ask where will the court stop in its
new venture.

In a speech in Providence Presi-

workers knew, IL other people did

this industry were cut 221s per cent.
They knew he said. 'that the cost
OF living. had not been reduced when
that cut was put into effect. Today
q further reduction Of 20 per cent
was offered. mill owners thinking
that because the first cut was ac-
