WOMEN'S TARIFF PROTEST
ALARMS C. o. p. LEADERS.

Reports from practically all
northern sections of the country
indicate that women are protest
ing at mass meetings, club gath
erings, and in other ways against
the exorbitant price of sugar.
In many instances resolutions
calling on President Harding to
reduce the tariff on sugar as
means of lowering its cost have
been adopted at these assem-
blages of women.
This uprising Of housewives
against the tariff and the con-
comitant demand on the part of
of Republican women for equal
representation in the committees
and government of their party
are giving Republican national
leaders a good deal of concern.
They are fearful that the ecouo-
mic issue represented by the
housewives fight on profiteer-
ing in sugar and the work politi-
cal issue presented by the Repub-
lican women's insistence on rec
ignition in the councils and con-
troll of the party will become sec
ondary in gravity only to bitter
factionahsm provoked by the sir
reconcilableh crusade against
President Hardihg's policy of in
ternational cooperation.
The women Of all parts of the
county have been feeling the ef-
fects of the Republican tariff not
only on the price of sugar but
also on the entire cost of living.
They are no longer helpless to
correct political and economical
evils. They don't have to depend
on the votes of their fathers, hus-
bands or brothers; they them
selves now have the ballot. The
interest which the women are
taking in the profiteering in
sugar is regarded as preliminary
to their study and condemnation
of the Republican high tariff and
vigorous insistence on its re-
duction.

when he said that in the steel
industry it was practically i'm
possible to do away with the IL
hour day. He may be right in
so holding under present condi-
tions of production, but such
conditions are not impossible of
change. There are no industrial
conditions which cannot be
changed. The only question is
whether this change or that is
practicable, and practicability
oftentimes cannot be determined
except through experiment If
capital and labor engaged in the
steel industry, work together to
secure practical change of con-
ditions, there is not the slight
est doubt that they will succeed.
1t must be manifested, however
that If capital practice religion in
its conduct of business, if it APP
ply the Golden Rule to Industrial
relations, labor must do so too.
There can be no one-sided effort
in this direction. There has to be
cooperation and cooperation
frequently necessitates mutual
concessions. The trouble of the
whole situation is that neither
capital nor labor has been willing
to make concessions and thereby
both have assumed responsibility
for crowding religion out of
business.
There is but one man to our
knowledge who is successful in
the operation of the Golden Rule
in his relations to his employees
and that man is Henry Ford.
All his employees share in the
profits of the business and
when workman gets to that
point he takes an interest in his
work and not until then.
