INDUSTRIAL PROSPERITY

Some million and a half American
workers are at present on strike. They
are losing $5O,OOO.OOO a week in wages
and the country is deprived of the
fruits of their labor, the value OF
which is beyond the possibility of ex-
preston in terms of dollars and
cents.
The textile workers, who produce
clothing, the coal miners who supply
fuel, the railway shop men, who main
tain the instrumentalities of transpor-
tation, and the trolley men who are
necessary to quick and convenient
transit in two cities-these are the
larger groups of operatives who have
quit their part in the nations industry
as a protest against the reduction of
their wages.
! Without attempting to assess or
place the responsibility for these seri-
GUS Interruptions to production and
transportation. it is nevertheless fair
to point out that two years ago the
Republican candidates and their sup
porters promised the American work
ers golden age of prosperity and a
practical insurance against unemploy-
ment and lower wages if they would
only vote the Republican ticket.
There were to be reforms in the
government, an expert management Of
public affairs, tariff that would up
hold wages for those in industry and
guarantee higher prices for those in
agriculture. In this buzz and hum of
industry every one was to be as busy
and blithe as a bee gathering honey
against the coming of winter, And,
of course, this prosperity was to be
of the famous Republican brand, was
ranted to last life time.
If any of the 100000 unemployed
through inability to find work and the
100000 on strike against lower pay
were lured by these Republican pic
lures of dawning prosperity into vo-
ing for Mr.. Harding and his Repub'
lican Congress they must be sadly
undeceived by this time, If the far
mer was misled by these promises of
better prices for his products. which
since 1920 declined billions in value.
he must share the workers disop-
pointment and dissatisfaction
Not only has the Republican admin
istration fallen to bring a new and
greater prosperity; not only has it
failed to continue the prosperous con
ditions which prevailed when it
lame into power, but has artualiy
turned the country's previous pros
perity into al industrial panic.

rHe neN CALLS foR Help

Finally the food profiteers have
locked horns with a real question.
They face the inexorabIe persisten.
cy of the great American hen and
panic reigns.
Some years ago the American hen
gave warning that she might prove a
dangerous enemy and bring about
fair prices, but the shrewd profiteers
countered, and when the hen laid in
sufficient volume to feed the people
the cold storage warehouse was con.
ceived.
Instead of being distributed at
prices governed by the law of sup.
ply and demand, eggs we're stored,
kept from the people, and doled out
at uniformly high prices.
1t appears, however, that the great
American hen has been thinking.
The result is she has again come
to the front with production so be-
wildering that the cold storage plants
cannot take care of it.
True. in spite of this, eggs in New
York are selling from 90 to rs cents
q dozen.
But the bump is at hand.
IL the hen gets little support from
the public and little tiny egg strike
be started, the backbone of the price
extortion will be broken.
1t is all very well to store eggs, but
when it comes to erecting more and
more great steel and concrete struc-
lures equipped with the expensive
freezing plants to take care of them
then it may be thought better to sell
the presen stock at a fair price.
There are now 303,OOO,O00 dozen
eggs in storage-more than three
dozen for every person in the United
States.
And the great American hen is still
on the job.

Food Industry Leads Iron and Steel

THE popular conception that the
L iron and steel industry is the
largest single one in the country is de-
clared by the Department of Agricul-
ture to be erroneous. The greatest In
dustry Is that of food manufacturing.
1t outstrips iron and steel. the depart
ment says, as four outstrips one.
AS emphasizing the need Of addi-
tional food-control laws, the depart
ment calls attention to the great
growth in recent times of food manu-
featuring in factories as against prep!
aration in homes. A few years ago. 1t
says. most food was prepared at home
or near by. and since the consumer
knew about the conditions Of its prep
aration there was little need for food
laws. Today, as so much food is pro-
duced and prepared long way from
those who consume 1t, some sort of
government control is regarded by de-
partment officers as necessary.
The meat-packing industry alone.
the department declares. represents n
greater value than the steel industry.
The total value of manufactured food
products in 1919 was $13.391. 81 1000.

Wheat Growing in the United States

a n OUTSTANDING fact facing the
American wheat farmer, saws the
annual yearbook of the Department of
Agriculture, is that while the per
capita consumption of wheat in this
country has steadily increased, there
mas been gradual decrease in per
capita production. This tendency
probably will continue, it is added, at
least until the United States reaches
the point where it consumes practical
'y all Of the wheat it produces.
The economic situation of the wheat
crop. production and marketing, from
seeding to international trade, is pre-
sented in the yearbook.
The discussion Is the result of COM
bined research and study by a num-
Der Of the nations leading agrono-
mists and agricultural economists con-
nected with the department.
1t is shown that nearly third Of
the farmers in the United States grow
wheat. Only corn and hay exceed this
bread crop in acreage occupied, and
normally only these two crops and cot
ton exceed wheat in value. The
wheat crop as whole has much to do
with the prosperity Of the nation, says

Protest in Behalf of the Pueblo Indians

sum Indian bill because introduced by
Senator Bursum of New Mexico,
seems to have evoked much criticism
in various parts of the country.
The latest is protest signed by
about fifty artists and writer's of note,
most OF whom have lived among these
Indians. They say. in part:
"The bill is grossly unjust to the In
dians and violates every official
protestation that the government is
their protector. The Indians, helpless
politically, have issued, with one voice,
from all the Pueblos dlgnified but
moving manifesto, asking fair play.
adding our voice to theirs in this
emergency, we. the undersigned, who
have had opportunity to study condi-
tions among the villages, and to under
stand the faithless provisions of the
projected law, and who intend doing
our best to expose the facts, call upon
the American people to protest imme-
diately against the impending Bursum
Indian bill, whether in its present form
or with disingenuous amendments.
"We ask this for the sake of the
Pueblos, who. though probably the
most Industrious and deserving of all
with the loss of their lands and of
their community existence We ask
ii even more for the sake of Ameri-
cans themselves. as test of national
honor"
