What Gold Can Buy in Labor

A trade magazine, The Valve
World, gives most interesting COM
parison of figures:
One ounce of gold buys 1922 hours
of labor in the United States, 50.16
hours in Great Britain, $3.50 hours
in Japan, 1871 hours in France and
201.66 hours in Germany. The fig
ures were given recently by c. );
Harmon, member of the British par
lament, quoting statistics before the
National Union of Manufacturers in
Birmingham.
The figures are interesting for
purposes of comparison, especially oy
the worker in the United States. He
must know he comes, indirectly at
least, into competition with the work
ers in the countries named, and that
those countries are competitors OF
the United States in the worlds mar
kets. 1t should not be difficult Tor
him to realize that if we are 70 meet
that competition successfully, and
thus to his own advantage, we must
in some way make our ounce Of gold
maid for 1922 hours of labor equal
the ounce of gold paid for the mach
Greater number of hours Of labor IN
the countries named.
Our worker does not wish to give
more hours for the ounce, and we are
not saving that he should do so. Then
he must give something that will be
2 practical equivalent of more hours
until the total of return from our
ounce equals the total of return from
the foreign-paid ounce.
He can make his hours more pro-
ductive. He can become more ettl-
cient. He can cooperate more effec-
tually not only with his fellow work
ers but with his fellow employers.
We do not know Of any other way IN
which we can make our ounce Of gold
equal in labor return with the ounce
that will give us our greatest compe-
tition, and we must equal this # we
are to sell our goods in the only mar
ket that offers an outlet for our sur
plusses.

To sell 1000 tickets Throughout.
the state at $1,000 each. Tickets to
admit to all athletic events at the
college.

enirr's recreation and exercise, the
association viii allow the use OF the
gymnasium and equipment for such
n1rpose to all holders of ASSOCIATION
tickets. (Bear in mind the usual cost
u 1-l
for such privileges in Y. NJ. Z. A. s.
This plan carried to its CONCLUSION
will mean a gymnasium fitting Tor
the college, building worth while
for the town and one that will be q
pleasure to visit, rather than tria
as at present. A place suitable fol
conventions, addresses, etc.
L will mean a more live interest on
The part of the town in the college
not only in athletics but in general
and q closer actual knitting together
physical and mental, rather than as II
is now--an idea.
II will mean a gradual building W
of interest in athletics that will even
tually take care of the financial OBJ
legations by the admissiins alone.
It will do away with all athletic
subscription lists, and it will be Civ
.ng each purchaser more than value
received.
Above all it viii equip Newberry
teams as they should be equipped.
1t will pay for coaches and supplies
It will give that old dream of 3
