Of large number of shippers and
receivers of freight in North Dakota"
Pointing out that the proposed in
crcascs are Every substantial the
board cites two cases considered dur
ing the last year in which "thc car
riers attempted to increase the class
freight rates from Chicago, Spring
field. St. Louis and other points to
st. Paul, Mimi, when used in making
rates to points in North Dakota,
which were suspended and not allow
ed to become effective" In one case
the proposed new high tariff was
voluntarily withdrawn by the rail
roads.
Case Not Yet Decided
Another factor to be considered. the
petition points out, is that the case
in which evidence was heard last
winter with view to the general
reimbursement Of class freight rates
in western trunk line and Northwest
territories has not We. been decided
by the federal body. The case. the
petition alleges. also involves freight
rates from Missouri. Illinois and
other states to North Dakota.
The petition further contends that
the increases now proposed By the
carriers violate the spirit of the COM
missions order in Dockets 1889 and
1917, in that they would further
enhance the existing discrimination in
rates against North Dakota and in
favor of St Paul, Minnesota

PROTEST. TO
RATE RAISES
Asks Suspension Of Increases
on Goods From st.
Louis, Sprinfieh

Protests against proposed freight
rate increase on all classes Of goods
from The st. Louis, Missouri. and
Springfield. Illinois, districts to North
Dakota points have been filed with
the Interstate Commerce commission
by the state railroad board. The
board has asked that the proposed
rate boosts be suspended and tina.
hearings on the matter be held at
Bismarck.
In one case the Great Northern
railroad proposes to establish new
rates from the St. Louis and Spring
field districts as substitute for the
Chicago rates which now are apple
able. Other points in those districts
would take the same rates. The points
in North Dakota to which the new
schedule would be effective are Fargo,
Paramount, Glendale, Forbes. Frank
lin. Grand Forks. jamestown. James
town Junction, klose. Millarton, New
ton. Nortonville, Port Emma, State
Hospital, Sydney and Wahpeton.
South Dakota May Join
IN another case the Milwaukee line
has proposed increases from the same
central ives. territory to all points
on its lines in North Dakota and all
points on its main line and branches

DIVIDEND CHECKS
AGAIN RECEIVED
Lighting Co. Upholds Record of
Uninterrupted Payments.

Uninterrupted Payments.
The regularity with which the
Atlantic City Electric Company
has paid it's dividends on its Pre-
ferred Stock is upheld. Checks
covering the regular quarterly
payment are being received
through the mail by hundreds of
local people. These dividends,
which + paid every Feb. 1, May
1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1, amount to
six and two-thirds per cent on
every dollar invested.
Promptness of dividend pay
ments, one of the prime advanta-
ges attached to investment in the
stock of a public utility, has been
a feature of the Atlantic City
Electric Company Preferred
Stock. Since the shares were
first issued more than sixteen
and a half years ago, the Com
pany has paid its full dividends
regularly and promptly. This I'M
usual record has been made pos
sible by the character of the COM
pany's business, for it's services
are in constant demand. With
out electricity the community
could hardly exist and the Light
ing company must be kept in OPP
Grafton at all times.
Through the sale of Atlantic
City Electric Company Preferred
Stock the benefits of saving and
safe investment have been taught
to hundreds of local people.

WAGES. PROSPERITY, THRIFT

The whole nation looks forward to
periods of prosperity, and is anxious
to narrow the intervening periods in
the hope of preventing the curve of
the business cycle from rejecting de-
preston and crisis. Study of this
problem shows plainly that to depress
any one factor in the production
equilibrium is to start a force that
will depress not only the industry di-
rectly concerned, but the whole indus
trial structure. Just as throwing a
stone into pond starts waves of
constantly widening radius until the
circle covers the whole surface, so
changing any production factor
changes the whole basis of co-ordi-
nation. A downward change brings a
downward pull; an upward revision
tends to lift the plane of all. Labor
accordingly, protests all downward
revision of wages.
The other phase of this same prin-
ciple is the lifting power of wage in
creases. Wage increases mean higher
standards of life for the workmen,
which make better workmen, capable
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-08-27

General agreement on the value of
high wages is the latest Justification
of organized labor.
For years the trade union move
ment combatted the doctrine that low
wages means cheaper production and
cheaper production means more bus
mess"
When the workers opposed wage
reductions, when they insisted that a
cheap wage system lessons their pur-
chasing power, and that general re-
trenchment follows, the economic wis :
men were shocked. 1t contradicted
their ancient dogma.
Labor's position was ridiculed. 1t
ignores economic law" the workers
were told.
But labor was not deferred because
it stood alone. This was not unusual
for the workers. They stood alone
when they first agitated against child
labor, for the eight-hour day, fol
compensation laws, direct legislation
and other remedial measures.
They continued their agitation
against wage reductions. They in
sisted that low purchasing power
brings every social evil that i'll befit:
democratic people; that it mean:
low living standards, child labor anc
increasing cycles of business depres
/ sion, each one more intense than its
predecessor.
Finally, history again repeated
Now, no one defends low wages. Cap

economists believe they have discov.

cred something and loudly proclaim

cred something and loudly proclaim
the new theory.
Labor now supplements its opposi-
tion to low wages by demand that the
workers receive share of greater
production through the technical de-
velopment in industry, elimination Of
waste, and labor-saving and labor
displacing devices.
At the last convention of the A. F..
of L. this resolution was unanimously
approved:
"Social inequality, industrial insta-
bility and injustice must increase un-
less the workers real wages-the pur-
chasing power of their wages-cou-
pied with a continued reduction in the
number of hours making up the work
ing day are progressed in proportion
to mans increasing power of pro-
duction."
This declaration will meet the same
opposition as did other reforms urg-
ed by the workers. 1t is the law of
life that changes are accepted just in
proportion to the agitation for them.
That the new theory will eventually
triumph is as certain as the accept
ance of other remedies for social and
industrial ills favored by workers, and
which were as stoutly resisted.

Each employer in the lumber indus
try is permitted to choose 10 per cent
Of his entire staff from the handicap
section"
The board alone will determine
whether man is handicapped, and it
is not the intention to place man on
the handicap list unless the man him
self applies to be SO placed.
The board will not set definite
wages for handicapped men, but per-
nit them to get all they can; but no
man, whatever his handicap may be,
will be permitted to work for less than
40 cents an hour, unless he has per-
mission from the board to accept a
lesser amount.
This arrangement applies to all
handicap men, both ex-service and ci-
villains.
