SELF HELP is BEST HELP

1.-The farmers salvation is within
himself" declared Charles S. Barrett
president Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, at the Denver
convention of that organization.
There is no escape from the sterr
fact that nobody but the farmer car
solve the farm problem said Mr.
Barrett, who urged the farmers to
unite.
Self-help through collective action
is the American Federation of La
boris philosophy.
This theory is a challenge to the
age-long allurement that there are
royal roads TO freedom through legis.
lation and dependence on others.
Opponents of organized labor never
refer to the value of self-help. II
unorganized workers realized that
power they would flock to the unions.
1t is the experience of mankind
that help from others is unstable. It
is either charity or paternalism and
fosters dependence.
When organized labor asks for
legislation it is to assure Individual
liberty or to solve question that is
beyond the power of workers. The
labor injunction comes under the first
heading and child labor, education
and health come under the second.

THE COTTON FARMER

Newspapers recently told of the
money realized by the sale of the
bale of cotton taken to Germany by
the Graf Zeppelin The bale brought
$500, a part of which was bid up
on sentimental grounds as the money
thus derived was to be divided among
the members of the crew of the dirgi-
BILE.
The farmer who planted chopped
(thinned), cultivated, picked anc
hauled that bale of cotton to the mar
ket probably received $85 for it, and
when he divided up with the banker
who placed loan on the crop and
paid the grocer, he got home with
fitch of bacon and half a bushel
OF cornmeal. If he had six bits to
rattle in his pocket he was a lucky
farmer indeed.
Now take look at the other END
of the deal:
When that bale of cotton is spun
and woven and made into finished pro-
ducts, the ultimate consumer will nav

LABOR CAN NOT
Tolerate Vicious ErectOrs'
Boycott, Green Declares :.

New Orleans, La. Q. L. n. ST.
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, went
to bat here for the structural iron
workers against the steel trust and
the Erectors' League. He declared
he felt deeply stirred by this con-
stant development of antagonism" by
the National Erectors' Associations
"That organization" said President
Green, mot only opposes the struc-
tural iron workers, but it carries on a
most reprehensible policy of boycott
ting. 1t goes to the extreme of re-
fusing to supply material to a con-
tractor who is regarded as fair to
organized labor; complete boycott
against those employers who deal
fairly with building trades organiza-
tions-I mean the structural iron
workers.
AS a result of this the structural
iron workers have been compelled to
employ attorneys, paying them high
professional fees, draining their
treasury by paying these fees, con-
tinually in court, defending them
selves against injunctions instituted
by this powerful organization OF
anti-union employers.
where is this going to end? Are
we going to allow it to continue? We
can not tolerate it. We can not
merely be passive under such violen,
attack. ! regard situation of this
kind as SeriOuS"

about $4,000 for it. 1t may be sold
to German hausfraus and made into
pillow cases or nighties-if they are
still wearing them-or it may return
to America and be made into linen
collars and handkerchiefs and sold
to keen, clever Yankees at rate OF
$4,000 a bale.
The cotton-producing farmer has
heard about this and has even talked
about it, but he has done almost
nothing. He knows that somebody
is doing something to him, but he is
not just so sure what it is, nor how
to offset it, so makes scarcely feeble
gesture at protest. But some day,
some one is going to whisper that
little word Organization" into his
ear, then watch cotton!

MR.. HOOVER SENDS LABOR'S
PROGRAM BACK MARKED
wITH HTS OWN OK

"Thus far the only limit to their
effective demand has been their pur-
chasing power" So said Gov. Ralph
O. Brewster, of Maine, in speech
which was delivered by him to the
conference of governors in New Or
leans, and which was read, with his
approval, to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor stimuli
taneously. He spoke of the masses
of the people and of the threat of
unemployment.
Had the speech been merely the
speech of Gov. Brewster it would have
had little Importance. But it was
delivered as the message of Presi-
dent-elect Hoover and therefore it
had tremendous Importance. 1t prof
fered program for the prevention
of unemployment-for the stabiliza-
tion of employment. And when it
was read it was found to be the pro-
gram of labor, accepting the wage
philosophy of labor enunciated in
1925, the outgrowth of years upon
years of experience and growing con-
viction.

Gov. Brewster approved before its
delivery the statement made by John
P. Frey as a preface to the Brewster
speech for it's presentation to labor's
convention. In that statement, ap-
proved by Brewster, who spoke as
Mr. Hoover's representative, Mr..
Frey said: "It (the Atlantic City
1925 convention) held that the real
wage must increase in proportion to
mans increasing power to produce" !"
Gov Brewster approved that as a
fitting statement to accompany the
message which he delivered for Mr..
Hoover And he approved also the
further statement that 'the great
economic problem facing American in
dustries is under-consumption.
The event, as John P. Frey put it
in his statement, "may be a turning
point in American history"
As President William Green put it,
''It is the biggest thing of the con-
vention." Enthusiasm was in his
words.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-12-07

On all sides the question is being
asked "Just what does this program
approved by Mr.. Hoover and claim
ed by labor as an expression of its
own philosophy, mean in concrete
terms ?"
AS labor men interpret it, the
meaning is simply stated, but far
reaching in effect
First, it means sustained buying
power, which can mean only that
wage increase in proportion to mans
increasing power to produce" for
which labor has declared.
AS to this, government can only
set an example, which will have to be
renunciation Of good deal of the
so-called Coolidge economy, and give
its moral backing to the demand of
labor for that wage in all industry
not merely for some, but for all, in a
great spread of rising wages-that
will as rapidly as possible eat away
the piles of goods produced and by
the same token eat down the enor-
nous piles of excess profits that have
piled up like floods of pilfered bread
Second, it means the creation of
a new and sensitive system of index
ing the country's production, so that
there may be accurate advance warn
ing of the approach of undercon-
sumption, or depression. Then, to
stop that advance, it means the re-
lease of public moneys for public
works, which may include buildings
and roads and other things. It means
the starting of works that will start
a backward wave of well-being, to
offset the oncoming wave of unem-
ployment. 1t means reversing the
vicious circle.
In finding its own program brought
back to it by spokesman for the
president-elect, labor in its conven-
ton, just closed, registered a moral
gain not matched since Woodrow Will
son went to Buffalo to stand on la
bor's platform and speak face to
face in friendship, recognition and
cooperation with the organized wage
earners.
