Unless the railroads block the order of the Interstate

will mean $127000000 to the farmers of the country

temporary reduction agricultural commodities grant

$39000000 saved to the shippers in the reduction

tons show that since the farmer pays 80 per cent of the
freight he will in all get the benefit of $22OO00OO0 and

LABOR COST $500
RAZOR 10 CENTS

If you paid S. or more for your
safety razor you will be interested
in this fact:
1t costs less than 10 cents each
to make So razor.
Here is the story of a man who
offered to make them for 10 cents,
but whose bid was rejected because
someone else agreed to make them
for less than 10 cents:
| happened a few months ago to
be in the office of an acquaintance
connected with very large man
ufacturing concern. He had on his
desk at the time the various parts
of a Gillette safety razor. He said
that they had been asked to figure
on a large order. l asked of they
had secured the order, and he re-
piled that they had not, as some
other manufacturer had submitted
lower bid. then asked what
price he had submitted, and he re-
piled, 10 cents for supplying all the
material and doing all of the work
necessary to make a complete razor.
You doubtless know that some mil
lions of razors are sold annually
in the United States at retail price
of SIS each.-From a letter to F. E,

DUTY OF THE CHURCH In
PRESENT INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
1t Is to Relieve Human Suffering and Preach the TuthAre
Wages Equal to the Cost of Living?

plies, $751; miscellaneous, 500; total,
$1386. Is not the professor right !?
Can anything be omitted or reduced
if we are to have the laboring man
rear his children to become Ameri-
can citizens? No, friends, the miners
are not getting living wage.
THE railroad workers are striking
because of three grievances: First,
they claim that the wage now re-
ceived is not too high for living
wage. They are perfectly willing to
accept a reduction of wages provided
the rates on living commodities in
the railroad tariffs are correspond
ingly reduced, but they say that they
cannot see how the reduction of the
rate on lumber and few such ar
ticles can lower their living expense;
they claim that it now costs as much
to live as it did a year ago, and they
have already been cut once.
Second, they are unwilling to
give up time and a half for Sunday
work. The matter of overtime should
be equally settled, they claim.
"Third. they are against dummy
contracting and unalterably against
piece work, for it is held that where
piece work is practiced it shortens
the workers life by 10 years.
"In conclusion, allow me to say
again, the church has two distinct
duties: First, to relieve suffering
wherever it is found; and, second,
to preach the gospel. 1t is more
than passingly significant that Jesus
was a carpenter Is years before he
went forth as the Great Teacher"

of any measure of the House Of
Commons. the latter could by re
passing the bill nullify the action OF
the Lords. The British people over
whelmingly supported the House Of
Commons.
Even after this election, the Lords
were still inclined to rebel against
giving up their veto power, but
through the influence of the Prime
Minister the King was induced tc
threaten to pack the House of Lords
with enough new members to bring
about the passage of the law. The
result was that the Lords yielded
and the British government became
to that extent more representative.
Can We not do as much in this
country as the British did? Can we
not reduce our Federal judiciary to
its constitutional powers? If not
we can at least arrest its further
growth. We can prevent it's further
encroachment upon the law-making
branch of the government. The plan
| promise will do this, and l believe
will be accepted by the people in all
parts of the country without regard
to party, as the quickest means of
restoring their government to the
people.
We are confronted with a situa-
ton wherein We must make a choice
that will determine the destiny of
this nation in all the generations to
come. This choice is simple but
fateful. Shall the people rule through
their elected representatives OF shall
they be ruled by a judicial oligar-
thy? Shall we move forward in our
development as a nation, carrying
out the will of the people as ex-
pressed by their ballots or shall all
progress be checked by the arbitrary
dictates of five judges until the sit
uation becomes so desperate that it
can no longer be endured?
| have no doubt what the choice
of the American people will be when
this issue is submitted for their de-
cision. The American nation was
founded upon the immortal principle
that the will of the people shall be
the law of the land. The courts
have forgotten this, but the people
have not. When they have an OPP
portunity they will overwhelmingly
declare that they will no longer
stand for all the wheels of progress
being blocked by the arbitrary die
tates of majority of nine judges,
but that way shall be opened
whereby the nation may move for
ward in peace, in order and in har-
mony to achieve the great ideals of
freedom, prosperity and happiness
enshrined in the Declaration of In
and in the preamble of
the constitution of the United States.

HOW THE MINIMUM WAGE
WORKS

The recently issued report of the
minimum wage board of the District
of Columbia covering the year end
ing December, 1921, points out that
contrary to the contentious of OPP
ponents of such legislation, wages
have increased following wage or
ders, the minimum has not become
the maximum. experienced workers
have not been displaced by learners
there has been no tendency to dis
charge learners when entitled to in
creased compensation. minors have
not been employed in preference to
adults, and the law has not caused
any appreciate decrease in the num-
Der of women employed.-Americar
Labor Legislation Review.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1922-07-28

The Constitution gave to the
! President of the United States q
veto upon legislation, in order that
| the executive might be able to pro-
! tect itself against encroachments
! But it also gave to the Congress the
power to assert its will by repassng
! the law even after it had beer
vetoed This was necessary in order
to prevent the President from using
his veto to block all progress and
make himself a despot
The Constitution did not give the
courts veto, but as | have shown
repeatedly refused to permit them
even to participate in the exercise
of the Presidential veto power. New
ertheless. the courts have asserted
not a veto power while laws were in
the making, but have usurped the
far greater power to nullify laws
the process of so-called interpreta-
ton to declare the public policy.
They thus themselves enact what
shall be the law of the land.
What | propose is that Congress
shall be enabled to override this
usurped judicial veto and to declare
finally the public policy just as it
has the power to override the Presi-
Dental veto, so that we may realize
in fact the fundamental purpose of
the Constitution as declared in Ar
ticle /, section /, that "All legisla
tive powers herein granted shall be
vested in a Congress of the United
States, which shall consist of Sen
ate and House of Representatives.
Certainly no one can complain
that the plan proposed is revolution
airy, or even radical. 1t can fairly
be criticized as being too conserva-
tive, but it at least would give the
people an effective method of eX
pressing their will if the sentiment
and purpose is strong enough, and
it would relieve the present intol-
cradle condition.
A very good illustration of what
| propose is found in the recent his
tory of the House of Lords of Great
Britain. That body, as you know,
constitutionally has a dual char
acter 1t is both a law-making body
and a court. Our Supreme Court by
usurping Legislative powers has be-
come somewhat like the British
House of Lords. You will recall that
several years ago the House of
Lords refused to approve the bud
get adopted by the House of Com
mons, taxing landed estates for the
promotion of great program of
social legislation. This veto so pro-
voked the popular branch of the
British parliament that the next
general election was fought out on
the issue that thereafter if the
House of Lords withheld approval
