The truth of the matter is that the
board has given out its living wage
statement simply to bolster up its de-
cision. Such practice shows how un-
fair the board is inclined to be toward
labor.
Who knows whether it is a living
wage? If the board were really in
terested in finding out it would ap-
point commission to investigate the
matter carefully and make report.
But the findings of this commission
would undoubtedly mean more trouble
for the Labor Board so it abolishes the
whole matter by giving the mairlten-
ance-of-way men its high word that
the wage is ample.
The whole decision smacks of hypo-
crisy. 1t may be perfectly true that
the roads cannot afford to pay great
er increase than two cents an hour. II
such is the case the board should not
be afraid of the truth. 1t could make
such statement without seeking tc
conceal it in the specious argument
about the living wage.
In commenting upon the report OF
the Labor board, Henry T. Hunt,
former representative of the public,
says the new doctrine places the
burden of improvident management
md past errors of investment on the
employees and makes them the guar
antors of railroad investments.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has held that 6 per cent re-
turn on capital is not confscatory.
But what is the living wage equivalent
20 this for the railroad worker? If the
railroad cannot afford to pay a living
wage is it the fault of an interest rate
on too much capital or is it because OF
the manner in which the railroads are
managed? The public, who is the
final judge, has no way of knowing.
The railroad labor board is not solving
the question by making simple decla-
rations. .

Smoking By Minors.

Ia communication from "a Tax
payer" which appears on this page OF
the Reuiesv is worth the serious con-
sideration of all who are interested in
the welfare of youth. The Taxpayer
asserts that boys of school age are in
juring themselves mentally and ply
sically through the use of tobacco.
The young ape the old. 1t is diff.
cult for boys to realize that they can
not indulge without detriment in that
habit which is common pra ctice among
a large number of adults. Such {
situation therefore calls for a vigorous
counter attack by parents, school
teachers and officers of the law.
A beginning in this direction was
made this week when one New Ulm
dealer was fined total Of $3O.8O by
Justice N. Henningsen for selling
cigarettes to minors. The County
Attorney has announced that he viii
not only proceed against dealers who
violate the law but minors who are
caught smoking will also be punished.
The law provides that minors who
smoke can be fined $40 or sent to jai,
for five days.
Such action on the part of the
authorities coupled with educational
measures to show the evil effects OF
smoking when INDUCED in by those
who are immature; should go along
way toward checking the conditions OF
which "a Taxpayer" complains. aak

A Living Wage.
What is a living wage?

What IS living wage!
The Railroad Labor board answers
this question by granting the main
tenance-of-way workers an increase of
two cents an hour and kindly inform
ing them that they are now receiving
a living wage.
Undoubtedly this is cheering news
to the employees and brings to an enc
all of their cost Of living worries. They
were formerly getting from % cents to
35 cents an hour. This meant g.
minimum of $1.84 daily or about $11
a week or $572 year. I'd.
The men asked for minimum wage
of 48 cents an hour, or 1884 a day, O.,
between $1,100 and $1,000 year.
In place of an increase of Is cents a,
hour they received two cents and the
assurance of the Labor board. The
board declared: ~ So f
"The theory Of the living wage il
carried to its legitimate conclusio,
would wreck every railroad in the
United States, and, if extended, tt
other industries, would carry then
into a commuaistic ruin. If tho
contentious were that the boart
should establish living wage thu
majority would readily accede to the
proposition, and as a matter Of fact
the board in this instance as in al
Others has granted living wage.
The figures determined by the boart
as a living wage are beneath those ar
rived at by the workers own experts,
by the investigators of the Depart
ment of Labor, and by the National
Industrial Conference board, an asso-
ciation of employers. The board does
not tell how it arrives at its conclusion,
but declares, ex cathedra, that it is a
living wage after attacking the
"theory of the living wage" The
question arises whether the boards
finding is not also a theory ac
ceptable to it.

Communication
Editor Of The Review:

Editor OF The Review:
Dear Sir:
Are you aware of the fact that boys
OF school age, yes boys in the grades
are able to purchase cigarettes and
tobacco in New Ulm? Some people
apparently have no scruples concern
ing the sale Of these narcotics. The
fact that a state law covering this
offense exists does not seem to worry
the offenders. It is high time that the
people OF this community take stand
against such behavior. Are we going
to stand back and see these youths
dull their minds and faculties for the
profit of a few unscrupulous parties
who think only of their own personal
gain, and not of the moral uplift of the
younger generation? Are our school
boys going to become habitual smok-
ers at the age of twelve or thirteen?
1t is needless for me to elaborate on
the evils of youthful smoking. 1t is q
recognized fact that the use OF tobacco
stunts the mental and physical growth
Of the minor. Schools throughout the
country teach and caution their
students concerning the premature
use of these harmful narcotics. States
throughout the Union have legislation
concerning it. Our own state of Min
nesota has law to the effect that
parties selling cigaretts and tobacco
or strong drink to school children are
subject to a fine of $50 and impfison-
ment for 8 days. With such a law
on the statute books are we as morally
sound citizens going to allow such
practises?
This community has always stood
for the best interests of it's boys and
girls. I feel sure that you would not
be willing to have your children open
to such influences if you could help in
movement against it. I feel con-
fdent that the community at large
will be heartily in accord with my
views Of this subject and will lend
their influence toward the abolishing
of such practises. -.
Signed-A taxpayer.
