America has succeeded far better
than Europe in reducing labor con-
tent in business" declares W. h..
Greed. president Of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company, who passed
through New York the other day on
his way home from Europe. By using
moro machinery and more electric
power, production per man here is
much bigger than in any other coun-
try. This country leads in the amount
of electric power per worker. Eng
land, Mr.. Greed explains. is now max
ing a power survey, and France is also
very much alive to the Importance of
power development.
Europe, already on the mend, vii!
by-and-by put up real competition.
Then" said Mr.. Greed, American
business will have to tighten its belt,
cut out waste of all kinds and reduce
still further the labor content. The
great contribution of American bust
ness TO civilization has been the rails
ing Of the scale of living of the work
ing classes to level not matched
elsewhere. This has been made pos
sible by the measure of economic free
dom enjoyed by the individual here,
a freedom permitting him to initiate
things, to build up, to branch out and
to receive a reward for his effort.
America has developed the science
Of organization to a degree not cQualed
abroad" emphasized Mr.. Greed.

Valley Growers Asked to
Prevent Sale of
Rejected Fruit.

Beware of low grade grapefruit,

The warning was issued Monday
when officials of the Chamber of Com
merce here took active steps to help
growers of the Rio Grande Valley
protect their reputation of producing
the best citrus fruit in the United
States.
1t has been learned that fruit dis.
carded in the Valley is being brought
here each fall and offered as first
class fruit, representative Of the pro-
duction of Texas orchards.
In letter to the Rio Grande Val
ley Chamber of Commerce Monday, T..
b. Yandell. general manager of the
chamber here, exposed the practice
and offered his assistance in check
ing it.
A certain percentage of each crop

properly ripened, imperfectly formed
or in other ways below the market
standard.
This fruit, when discarded BY the
growers or packers, is either sold for
practically nothing or else given

An investigation of the markets
here during past years, Mr.. Yandell
said. has revealed that hucksters and
peddlers, and even certain irrespon-
sible commission dealers. have ben
buying up this fruit and selling il
through this territory as first grade

Recognizing the damage such prac-
