PR|CESOF SUGAR

Profits, Says Hoover, Will
Make Cubans Increase
Production Areas.

The present high prices of sugar

to stimulate production in Cuba

profits are very large" Secretary
of Commerce Hoover declared this
afternoon in a letter to. Congress
man Dalliger Rep) of Massa.
chusetts who asked for information
on the state of the American sugar
market
'The semi-annual world surVery
of the department" Hoover said,
showed an estimated combined
stock and production for 1928 of
Is 81 900 tons, estimated consump-
ton of 19,035,000 tons, leaving an
estimated surplus of 476,O00 tons
at the end of the year. l see no
reason to doubt the accuracy of
the departments estimates of the
Cuban crop now being crushed.
Sugar consumption and produc-
tlon respond very quickly to price.
1t would be normal to anticipate
that estimated consumption would
decrease as the result of the pres
ent overnight price. Our consump-
SiOu "a KOllHSu sugar. ACCORDING u
Willet and Gray, in the United
states during the year 1922 was
5,O92.758 tons, as compared to 4,t01,-
328 tons in 1921, or an increase from
S4.47 pounds to 1031S pounds per
capita. This is nearly "a per cent
increase in consumption. The high
consumption for 1922 was 20 doubt
in part the result of abnormally low
prices for sugar during the year,
and possibly some ! increase in
invertible stocks. 1t was, in fact, a
price so low as TO have decreased
the production of sugar in CONT
mental United States by $50, 1000,
leaving US more largely dependent
on imports.
The effect of higher sugar prices
is also likely to be 6elt in the very
hard-up sugar producing countries
OF Europe in that these prices will
tend to restrict consumption and in
crease their exports, and thus tend
to lower the pull upon Cuban sugar
to the non-sugar-producing countries
of Europe.
The present price levels viii no
doubt stimulate production especial
ly in Cuba as at this moment plan
tation profits are very large.

THRU ORGANIZATION
LABOR IS PROTECTED
tTypoaraphIeaI Union servIeel.

Typographical Union oeTNiSeJ'
The chief difference between organ
lied industry and organized labor lies
in the fact that organized industry
places property rights above human
rights. Industrial trusts have grown
out of the belief that large corpora
lions cannot compete without dissipa-
ton of power That belief may be
well grounded in fact. but it is a fall
lacy to assume that Capitalization of
vast power in the hands of small
groups is helpful to the welfare of
the nation.
Organized labor understands that
perfect freedom of Competition"
among workers also means loss OF
power, or rather that it means power
lessness for the individual. In a
strictly materialistic sense organized
industry and organized labor lie par
allel. Each seeks what 1t can get.
But the former also at acquisition of
power and luxury, far beyond any hui
man need, In the hands Of the few,
while the latter has for its object the
rescue OF the many from the verge of
hardship and actual starvation.
Organized Have Advantage.
That difference in objects is well
established and widely understood. No
economist Of standing would ques-
ton the conclusion, but foes Of labor
raise many smoke screens to confuse
or to dis-interest the public in the

struggle of labor. II is the duty Of
the nnionist to do his bit in educating
the public to a clear understanding.
II the rich corporation finds it ad-
vantageous In a materialistic sense
to amalgamate with its competitors,
how much greater is the need for In
dividual workers to do the same.
The individual workman cannot bar.
gain with an employer. He can only
accept the job offered at the wage
offered, or go without work and
starve. He is untitled for bargaining
because he has no means Of knowing
how badly his services are needed and
because the nature of his training and
experience offers no equipment for
bargaining, which is the natural gift
of the successful business man against
whom he is pitted Again the workers
need of employment is nearly always
more vital than the employers need
of help. A short handed factory may
mean worry and inconvenience for the
employer, but a foodless cupboard
means something far more grim to
the worker. The employers chances
in the struggle are something like
million to one against the bargain
ing individual
Uhoreanlzed Voiceless.
IN organized labor the organized
employer finds foesman we'll worthy
of his steel. The sensible employer
accepts the situation philosophically
as q natural development. He does
not expect the privilege Of riding to
vast wealth and power on the backs
of docile workers over a smooth road.
He understands that human nature
win inevitably raise obstacles in his
path when he seeks gain at the ex-
pense Of his own allies. 1t is the one
idea type of employer entertaining
the insance belief that the world is
his oyster, to be opened and gulped,
who terms labor's demand for the
right to bargain outrageous.
The man who has no voice in the
sale price OF his services is at best
slave. Usually he is worse off than
slave, for the latter is property and
his owner will take measures to insure
his health and well-being and must
care for him in his old age. The I'M
organized worker must take what his
employer will give in the years OF his
usefulness and that never has been
sufficient to permit saving against his
age or disability.
Collective bargaining is natural
honorable and inevitable in modern
industry.

"On October IL, 1871, or as soon
as my age permitted, became a nat
uralized citizen of the United States,
the land of my choice and adoption.
How good a citizen l have been |
leave others to Judge. Since | joined

Is have been more or less active in
organized labor"
When the American Federation of
Labor was formed at Pittsburg in 1881
Mr.. Gompers was delegate from the
Cigarmakers union, and has been a
delegate from that body at each sue
ceeding annual convention. He was
elected first vice president or vice
chairman az the Pittsburg meeting.
For the first five years the federation
elected q chairman at each annual
meeting. In 1886, when the conven-
ton was held at Columbus, Ohio, the
law was changed to elect a president
to serve throughout the year Mr..
Gompers was chosen to this office
and has been reelected each succeed
ing year, with the exception OF 1894,
when John Mcbride of Ohio, a miner
was president.
In the performance of his duties
Mr.. Gompers travels an average OF
1900 miles a year. He has made 1O
trips across the Atlantic since coming
here in 1888.
Under his leadership the American
Federation OF Labor has grown from
a few struggling national unions with
q total membership OF $4,000 to IL
affiliated national and international
unions, 40 state declarations, sos city
central bodies, SS local department
councils and 1921 local unions, with
a dues-paying membership In excess
of 100000. That one man should
remain at trG head of such a volun
tary federated labor body for 81 year
is the greatest tribute that could pos.
sibly be paid to his ability and lead
ership.
