WHAT HURTS!

| i'bt IhlN'is
Please allow me the privilege
of passing my opinion about al
article written by Mr.. Sophus
HermanSen about laws and taxes
of Minnesota And on this the
editor of the American gives an
answer in same weeks issue
wherein he says that we must
not compare this country with a
prairie country. In this country
there are buildings on every 40
or 80 acres and on the prairie
there are 800 acres to every set
of buildings. Now it seems that
it ought to help us on the tax
when we are many to pay, and
if we were only one on every
800 acres it would surely make
taxes higher. So that doesn't
help much MIR. Editor on this
matter. And then you talk
about somewhere over in Africa.
Mr.. Hermansen surely didn't
say anything about Africa. He
mentioned a law of Nebraska
and | think that he is not out of
our own country at that. You
ought to know, Mr.. Editor, that
there are some good laws in
other states that we need inn
ported to Minnesota, and this is
simply what Mr.. Hermansen
would remind us of. But in 9th.
err words it seems that you, Mr.
Editor, would like to give it out
that Mr.. Hermansen is a grum,
blehead and ought to keep still
and come along. There is an old
saying; THE truth must not be
known" Isn't that right?
The same thing comes out
again in the next weeks issue
of the American when Mr.. Gott
lieb Vogel writes: 1T Hurts Me-
This was surely too bad, but i,
is the truth that hurts and nc
wonder that Mr.. Vogel screams

his gas tank or lubricating oil
Mr.. Vogel says: Keep in mine
that we live in the only country
on earth where every man i;
granted equal opportunities
and so on. 1t seems that Mr.
Vogel is not acquainted ever
with our own country, for if so
he would not be so windy; sure
| ly there must have been some
dollar blocking on his way. Now
| Mr.. yogel, if Mr.. Hermanser
asked YOU to lend a hand to help
pay his taxes | think you woulC
answer, Il have enough in my
own. which seems to be true
that nearly all of us have. Their
you were saying something
about Europe. You better stop
and help solve our own problems
here for there is surely some.

figures of the Pine County Fl
nancial Statement which has
just been published in the Amer
can YOU surely see that there i.
a lot of money spent foolishly
and unnecessary, and If a mar
kicks about the present tax law
there is good reason. And | will
assure both Mr.. Editor and Mr.
Vogel that Mr.. Hermansen ha,
a big number of the farmers or
his side as we are on that SANK
bad boat as Mr.. Hermansen.
One man in this community
who owns one Of the best farms
around here Ia $4,000 FARM
gave me the offer to rent his
farm for the taxes and upkeer
of buildings. This goes to prove
that conditions are bad anC

The spread of lancer among print
ers no doubt corresponds to the in
crease for all classes of city dwell
ers, DR.. Hoffman said, since there is
no reason for assuming that print
ers are peculiarly susceptible to can
Ger. The average mortality rate
from cancer and sarcoma was found
by DR.. Hoffman to have increased
from 54.5 per hundred thousand in
1911 to 86.5 per hundred thousand in
the period from 1920 to 1928.
"The increase in deaths from can
GER is not applicable on the ground
that the average lifetime of a prin-
ter today is much longer than in ear
lier years, although that fact is es-
tablished," DR.. Hoffman says. SIN
the last four years there has been
but slight change in the average life
time in the trade, but the increase
in mortality from cancer has been
marked"

RATES ON GRAIN
MAY Be REDUCED

Washington, d. CA movement to-
yard possible reduction in freight
rates on grain as an aid to the farm
er has been instituted by the govern
ment In two directions.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is preparing to proceed with an
investigation to determine the reason
ableness Of present railroad rates on
grain and grain products to cover all
sections of the country.
The commissions program calls for
hearings at times and places which
will be fixed shortly.
The commission temporarily denied
the complaint Of western grain grow
ing states which has been pending
before 1t for several months asking
for a reduction In freight rates ON
grain and grain products in the west,
but instead of dismissing the COM
plant, %re-opened the al for more
evidence. Present rates, the decision
said, had not been shown at previous
hearings to be unreasonable, while
earnings of western railroads ere
found to be low.

COAL IS CHEAP-AT THE MINES.

The Coal Commission reporting to President Coolidge finds
the cost of soft coal to the operator at the mine ranges from
$12O to $3.50 a ton. This includes cost of all labor of mining
overhead expenses, and all other costs of production.
While these figures may be low for some thin-veined Goa
fields, no consumer of soft coal can buy it within a mile of the
above prices. Yet here is a government commission reporting
that, for a total of 266 mines in four states, the range in produc-
ton cost is between these figures. In the case of anthracite the
commission found the cost at the mines average less than $500
a ton.
Still the public is asked to believe that the high prices
charged for coal are made necessary by the wages paid the min
ers. The public has a right to know the cost of producing coal,
it has a right to know whether the investment on which returns
are claimed is fairly estimated or is inflated.

THE FADDIsTs IN BATTLE ARRAY.
BY CHESTER M. WRIGHT

Editor, International Labor News Service
Beware those from strange lands who come bearing gifts of
pie a la mode; beware those in strange garb who come with in
carnations; look out for those who spin webs of much talk and
have a doubt about every %preachment that comes from the high
places. So has labor been taught. Today it is almost instinct
with American labor to look with suspicion upon advisors who
are outside of the ranks of labor.
labor has had to battle with many a fad in its time. 1t has
grown weary. Always the main idea has been success today.
1--WE must have relief now" has been Numbered forth by its
spokesman since Labors Year 1.
Labor listens to all who come offering advice, and then it
thinks for a long time about that advice. Somehow it seems to
have the notion that good advice can stand being put on ice
Most advice stays there-the cold storage plant is full of it.
Sometimes a good piece gets laid away and forgotten, natural
ly. On the whole it has made for safety.
The more powerful the movement becomes the more do the
purveyors of advice come to its temple. The brighter the light
the more moths will there be. But the gold brick moths have
helped make the labor movement a wise old bird.
The American Federation of Labor was built on the ruins
of movements less wary, more willing to plungs, more impa-
tiently ambitious. Somehow the structure of the A. F. of L.
seems to say, Il can wait a thousand years if l must, but I'll win
in the end"

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 23.-How
the workers in a certain dining room
and kitchen collected facts and fig
ures that showed the employer was in
a position to pay better wages, is told
by Jere L. Sullivan, general secre-
tary-treasurer of the Hotel and Res
taurant Employers International Ali
ance and Bartenders' International
League of America.
Writing in the Mixer and Server,
Mr.. Sullivan says that one of the To-
cal unions of his organization, in pre-
paration for the annual wage confer
ence with an employer, one of the
hard boiled" variety, made a quiet
Investigation of the employers pro
fits The men in the dining room, as
we'll as in the kitchen, kept track Of
the number of persons served the
amount received for each meal, cost
of materials and quantity of materials
used. They knew they would be con-
fronted with the old claim that the
employer was losing money and that
he could not afford to pay higher
wages, and they determined to refute
the claim. The employer had been
making this claim for years and had
been getting away" with 1t.
After the survey had been made .
writes Mr.. Sullivan, "and all the data
given proper consideration, it was dis.
closed that instead of losing money
that employer was drawing down sew
eral times 6 per cent on his invest
ment. He was knocked galley west
when the facts were laid before him
and instead of erediting his employees
with enough to gather the data
he cussed his bookkeeper for supply
