Wages in America
Highest in World,
Davis Says in Speech

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 10. -
America is the best country in the
world and wages must be high if
we are to succeed as a. nation
Secretary of Labor James J. Davis
told the Columbia lodge, Loyal Or
der of Moose, in an address here
last night. The address followed a
secret meeting of the order after
which the public was admitted. Mr.,
Davis will address the state legis-
lature this afternoon.
Mr.. Davis said that in America
an ounce of gold will purchase
twenty hours of work; in England,
fifty hours; in France 100 hours,
and in Germany 200 hours. High
wages, he said, were necessary if
America was to succeed as ma
ton. To reduce wages of those
gainfully employed by even one dol
lar a day would cut down the pull
chasing power of millions Of men,
he said.
what can you sell when wages
are low" he asked. what good
would it do for man to run adj
vertisements in country like Chi
ma where wages are low? 1t is a
great mistake to think of having
low wages for the working man."

Monday when Selig Bernstein, we'll

Bernstein were so unlike that on
the will they believed the latter
was not hers.
Both Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Bray

Brs. Bernsteins checks they were
convinced the signature on the will
was not genuine even though at
torneys for the defense maintained
it was made while the late Mrs.
Bernstein was ill. t~

The body Of the man identified as
Daniel had upon it belt buckle
with Daniels initials, and in a pocket
of the trousers a wrist watch his
