YANKEE PITCHERS OFFER
$3.50 FOR 1923 LEADER

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 81.
The Yankees may lack several
things. but one of them is not
confidence. Today the six regular

pool, each contributing $25. The
$3.50 will 60 to the pitcher who
wins the most games this season,
and each of the six was willing
to bet n lot more that he would
win 25 games. Six times 25 Is $50,
which means that the Yanks
would lose only four games dur
ing 1923. 1t looks as If somebody

doesn't matter. The right spirit

THE TWELVE HOUR A
prophecy?

The strange thing about this twelve hour day controversy
is that Gompers and Gary and President Harding do all the talking
while the steel workers putting in twelve hours a day seem to be
disnterested or too busy to talk. AS a generality twelve hours
would seem too long a period to work at severe manual labor in
one day and yet many a farmer and housewife manages to put
in that many hours right along. What we should like to see would
be three shifts instead of two shifts at the great steel mills.
An eight hour day is short enough and unquestionably has
run up the cost of producing things. 1t should be the minimum
and there should be no tolerance or patience shown the demand
for six hour days and five day weeks. Whenever any class can
live at five days of labor in a week some other class or classes
must help support them by paying e~xhorbitant prices as now
prevails in the coal business.
Three shifts in industry in which the process must be con-
tinuOus is logical and practical. Mr.. Gary is simply postponing
the inevitable when he fights it. President Harding has brought
pressure on Mr.. Gary to get in line with modern practice and Mr..
Gary has agreed to do it as soon as possible.
Now comes Gompers and sneers at Gary because Gary pur-
poses to wait until business sumps enough to enable him to go to
at twelve hours pay. If twelve hours pay is retained for eight
hours work everybody else will have to pay for an increase of
so per cent in labor cost of making steel. Perhaps a full reduction
to eight hours pay might not be necessary but some reduction from
twelve hours pay for eight hours work would be fair to the rest
of the public.
Present boom times in the steel industry are not the opportune
time to debate the twelve hour day. This is evidenced by the
absence of demand from the twelve hour workers themselves to
change their shift. Next year, if stock market spectators are
guessing right now, will find business easier at the steel mills.
There will be men available to make up the new third shift and
those working twelve hours will be willing to give up some of
their twelve hours pay for eight hours of hard work. Neither
Gary nor Gompers are altogether disinterested advocates and
President Harding can only urge, but the twelve hour day must go
in the steel mills. Better prices for farm products would help to
shorten the day on the farms.

N OTHERS

Magnus Johnson who is running for United States senator
in Minnesota with a prospect of winning in the election is quoted
in an interview in another column today. Mr.. Johnson and his
interview should be scanned carefully by the Montana voters.
They illustrate a condition of politics and a class of candidates
p~rejudices and resentment run away with their sober judgment
N primary nominations and elections and who have either voted
their resentments or refused to vote at all.
Magnus is a type, a bostful swashbuckler, an Ancient Pistol
in politics, ignorant and despising learning and books, contemp-
tuOus of historical fact and human experience, conceited to a de-
gree as ludicrius as it is disgusting, promising to perform the
impossible, a mere bull in a china shop believing with wrath
against all and everything and posing with paving of dirt as
head of the herd, assuring his auditors that he has found it easy
to be boss of a country and as easy to be boss of a state and that
if elected he shall be boss of the United States, a regular little
kaiser in politics, a jack Cade, had Magnus ever heard of his
political progenitor and contemporary.
Nothing better illustrates Magnus that his assertion that he
finds no good in the past or guidance by the beacon lights of
craftsmanship. Abraham Lincoln is the single exception. Magnus
partially indorses Lincoln. He even goes so far as to quote Lincoln
sometimes "in my speeches" Magnus awaits the dicta of La
Toilette. He trains with Brookhart. Magnus evidently doesn't
know why except that it gets him certain votes-but in this
respect he matches up with all his self elected leaders.
Magnus viii set votes. He may be elected senator. Some
thing of the sort happened in Iowa.
Read Magnus' interview and compare it with the utterances
and purposes of men of all times whose light as the guide lamps
of government. Merely as a warning whittier the tanning of
class prejudices and hatreds and the entrustng of the reins of
power to such men as he may lead US, read it. Then vote at our
own eections-and bear in mind that Senator B. K. Wheeler of
Montana is reported to be helping Magnus though there is a
democrat in the field against him.

SHORTENING THE BRIDGE"

President Harding in one of his speeches in the west made
use of a catchy phrase. He would shorten the bridge between
the producer and the consumer"
There is a political magic in the words producer" and
consumer" They receive immediate attention. 1t hits home for
we are all consumers desirious of low prices for what we consume
and most of us are producers anxious to get the most for what
we produce. So we perk up our heads when that shibboleth is
uttered.
But how are we to shorten the bridge?" Legislation doesn't
appear to create any short cut in the face of economics laws. Do.
we actually desire to shorten the bridge sufficiently to lend a
personal hand to the shortening? Which end shall we shorten?
Who. even in this agricultural state, seeks the producer?
Who drives out to the truck farm and so shortens the bridge be-
tween himself and the vegetable producer? Who buys and butchers
his own hogs and makes his own lard nowadays? Who walks six
blocks to carry home his own groceries? How many meat pro-
ducers fail to ship their beef to the packing house or even the
local butcher and buy it back again after it has made the round
trip. The automobile has shortened the bridge between the pro-
Queer Of food stuffs and the consumer in town but how many use
the bridge. Darned few. You'll say so. There is an excess of
service in response to an excessive demand for service. We
insist that we shall be waited on. This crushed and mutilated
consumer proposes to have his groceries handed in at his back
door two or four times a day. He must have two deliveries of
milk daily in the cities. If it costs a half dollar to bring a five
cent spool of thread to the city limits that's the distributors
lookout. And he looks out for it. It's another plank in the long
bridge. Nobody drives three to six miles to a p~ostoffice in this
day of long bridges. A short walk from the front door to the
front gate is the limit. 1t is a part of the bridge. We have built
the bridge to our own cOnvenences and profit. Whose span are
we going to remove?
This middleman, poor devil, whose hand is assumed to be
against everyone and every ones hand against him Are we
ready to back up our loud talk by eliminating him? Not by
numerous rows O. apple trees. lie serves Is. he saves Is steps.
We want him and would make the celebrated welkin ring loudly
if he happened to be out when we called. But we hate to pay him.
The bridge between the producer and the consumer is
crowded. 1t is active with busy hands each supplying a demand
for service, much of this service is mere convenience and not a
necessity but in both cases the demand is equal A thousand
hands were busy to supply the modest breakfast this morning
United we stand, divided we would raise merry hades. We want
the bridge. We mean to have the bridge. We are seeking to add
a span at each end. And we are hungrily seeking some way of
getting service without paying for it. That's what is the matter
with US.
We can shorten the bridge considerably between our individual
selves if we choose to do it. Who chooses? Speak up.
