Wool Trust To Blame.

Certain manufacturing concerns in the
Wool Trust have begun to spread propa-
eanda designed to fix upon retailers the
blame for the present higher prices of
mems and women's wooden suits. Il is
alleged that the retailers have no reason
for increasing prices at this time because
the new advances made by the Wool Trust
are not effective until next autumn.
The retailer can explain to consumers
that the American Wooden Company raised
Its prices last summer and again last
autumn. before and after the enactment
Of the Fordney- McCumber profiteers tariff
law. and only few weeks ago announced
further advances on goods for delivery in
the fall of 1928.
II is expected that the retailers will fol-
low the advice given to them by trade
journal representing their interests and
tell customers that il is the tariff on wool
and its chief beneficiary. the Wool Trust.
and not the dealer that is responsible for
the gouging.

Women Learning That Grocer Il
Not To Blame FOR Sugar GOuge.

Agitation against the indefensible price
Of sugar-especiall the campaign being
waged by women-is helping to exoncrate
the grocer from any part in the orgy Of
profiteering that has already taken nearly
500. 100000 from the pockets of the con-
sumers. Housewives are learning through
their investigations and the information
that is coming to them that the Sugar
Barons give the grocer and small dealer
very little margin Of profit in selling their
wares. The proceeds of the "eouee" &c
almost wholly to the Sugar Barons.
The women of the country are learning
that the duty on sugar accounts for about
2.07 cents of the average price of 10 cents
pound. for which it is selling in the gro
ceries. The retailer is not to blame. fol
the tariff nor for the pyramidine Of the
duty by the refiners. brokers and whole.
salers. For the most part the retail grocer
sells his sugar practically at cost when the
time he spends and the bags and Irvine
he uses in wrapping it are taken into
account.
All the millions that have been plum.
dered from the American people since last
February have gone to the Sugar Barons
for whom the Republican tariff was en-.
acted. They haven't divided the spoil.
with any one else.

Mr.. Harding's "Fine Human
Sympathy"

But with Harding his fine human sym
pathy and the great. fundamental kindness
of his nature rebel at throwing man out
of iob.-New York Herald Editorial.
Let us see how this touching tribute to
President Harding is sustained by certain
well known facts In March, 1922, Presi-
dent Harding issued an executive order
summarily dismissine 2S officials of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, men
and women, who had entered the govern
ment employ in minor positions in that
bureau and had by faithful and efficient
service risen to be chief of divisions. The
reason assigned for their dismissal was
''the good of the service" The manner of
their dismissal raised against these peo-
pie suspicion amounting practically to
charges that they had been guilty of
wrong-doing If not crime. Subsequent in
vestigation showed that they were not
guilty OF any wrong whatever, but had
rendered the most competent, faithful and
efficient service.
President Harding denied them a hear
ing. In their places he named certain
officials. two Of whom we've then in the
divorce courts. one of whom is accused by
United States Senator OF having beaten
his daughter in the face with his fist be-
cause she protested against the indgni-
ties he was heaping upon her mother and
another was accused of even worse. and
still another who had once been dismissed
from that service for soliciting gambling
bets from other employees.
After year Of idleness the discharged
officials were restored to the civil service
status. with one exception, and a few of
them were given small positions at about
one-half their previous pay.
Senator Caraway epitomized this cruel
and inhumane story when he said:
Here are twenty Eight helpless men and
women, who have spent a life time in
faithful service as employees of the gov.
eminent. They have been despoiled OF
their right to make an honest livirg They
have had their characters besmirched and
regulations destroyed, and yet the people
who profit thereby will not even give them
back their regulations. They will be COM
PEELED to 60 on down through the years
with the finger of suspicion pointed at
them. One Of them is already dead, hav-
ing died of broken heart"
Perhaps, after all the editor of the Herald
was only writing ironically.
