William Green is president OF the American FED
Grafton OF Labor. TIE Is a staunch Baptist, a staunch
prohibitionist, a staunch republican and a very able
successor TO the late Samuel Gompers.
william Green appeared before q senate tnvesti-
eating committee. Speaking Of labor trouble In
southern industrial centers. he said: Textile opera
tives work from so to so hours a week in southern
mills. They receive low wages. They were compelled
70 strike to bring about higher standards OF living
Their organizers were driven Out Of the mill towns
by representative citizens. soldiers armed with ma
chine guns terrorized the strikers and altogether the
conditions are not lovely"
Lest we forget these striking textile workers are not
foreigners. They are not the children Of foreigners.
They are not the grandchildren Of foreigners They
are the descendants OF the pioneers who landed on
these shores long before the coming Of the war for
American independence.
Old slave states are becoming industrial states.
They are becoming great manufacturing states and
now the ancient war Is on IN these former slave states
between the employers and their white employees.
There IS g new South. there is a new civilization but
the problems that await solution are as old as the
industrial age of man.

The possibility that the bill may not pass does not

Hoover as TO cause him to veto It does not deter Cali

progressing toward that financial independence to
which growers are entitled.
Despite higher cost Of production because OF high
taxes and high watering charges, California growers
are making larger profits than Valley growers.
The reason is found in the cooperative marketing
agencies. When Valley farmers are sufficiently sold
on the need for cooperation. profits win be Us stable
as they should be. With unusually low taxes and

with the need for little or no fertilizer. crops grown

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT g. PLUMNE
WASHINGTON, May iss-Ever SO often there goes
from the United States treasury a statement:

May l6.-Ever so often there goes
out from the United States treasury a statement:
The treasury estimates that -"
And the fiscal future Of this country Is outlined In
subsequent paragraphs.
Behind this impersonal phrase there stands one
OF the jolliest and most careful men in Washington
Joseph S. Mccoy. the treasurys srtuary and the chief
gazer into Americas financial future.
How much will be realized by the government next
year In income tax collections?
How many cigarets will be smoked?
How many men will die and leave large estates?
1t is up to Mccoy to speculate ON all these and
other matters from which the United States derives
revenue. and give an answer. How he does II Is his
secret. All that is known to outsiders is that he
scratches with a pencil. adds and subtrscts a good
deal, consults a sheaf Of papers, and then reports.
THREE ESTIMATORS
Mccoy IS one Of three who prepare these estimates
Of the nations financial status. His figures so to Sec
rotary Mellon and Undersecretary Mills, where they
the placed beside those OF Robert G. Hand, commits
sioner Of accounts and deposits. and J. +. Ebersole. in
the section Of financial and economic research.
But McCoy's calculations are Secretary Melons
chief guide in striking a reasonable balance and an
nouncing:
The treasury estimates that -"
OF course the question OF whether the treasury es-
are accurate or not is one that often Is de-
bated.
At the capitol Mccoy often has been made out to
be a worthless prophet. But Secretary Mellon Just
about rs frequently has proven that hts chief gazers
errors are negligible. Whenever the surplus and
deficit figures are given oit-figures often quoted in
congress and on the political stump-particular inter-
est is aroused.
But 1t is generally conceded that when Mccoy does
err II Is on the cautious side-over for deficit. under
for surplus.
Perhaps his merry mien may be explained in some
measure to his delight in always finding that the
United States government is in better financial con-
dition than he had predicted.
HOOvER'S COLLAR
1t is not generally known. perhaps. but there has
been a little propaganda war as 10 who should have
the privilege Of clothing the neck Of the president of
the United States.
Stiff collar publicists have claimed that President
Hoover has always worn hard collars. Soft collar en-
thusasts recently ~countered with a statement that the
president wears a soft shirt and soft turned-iown
collar.
Inquiry al the White House reveals that Hoover
wears a shirt with a soft CELLAR attached while playing
bull in the ring" each morning. but at ali Other times
he sticks TO starch.
