Believe Production In
All Sections Over
estimated

After dropping from SIS per son
Wednesday to $40 Thursday and FRI
day, the price Of cabbage staged a
partial comeback Saturday, when
growers at all Valley points were re-
cciving $Ia per tor. The price went
as hilh as SIS per ton where desir-
able grades for mixtures was want
ed.
Shippc 5 arc taking a more optim-
istic view Of the situation than at
any time since early in the week.
Gather conditions in northern CEN
tiers are improving, and the retail de-
mand strengthened Friday and sat
urday. Many inquiries we're received
by Valley shippers Saturday.
Surveys inaugurated By Valley
shippers to ascertain the amount Of
cabbage that will be available indi-
cate that the yield will fall short Of
the estimate, not on. in the Valley
but also throughout the Gulf coast
section. Florida also is reducing ORR
ginal estimates, due to crop damage.
The extreme cold weather the first
Of the week will cut the upper Gulf
coast production 80 to rs per cent, it
is c -imated.
In view of this condition, shippers
are confident that cabbage will
again attain $50 or better within a
two weeks. The movement from the
Valley the past week was only so per
cent Of the estimate, or $40 cars. as
compared with an estimate OF 600.
The cold weather, which checked
cabbage from maturing rapidly Is be-
lieve responsible for the reduction in
shipments, but whatever the cause,
it has contributed to improving the
market situation, shippers assert. and
will aid materially in cleaning ac-
cumulated stocks and stabilizing the
markets.
Carrots and beets are moving out
in greater volume at very profitable
prices to growers, and curtailment Of
shipments Of spinach from the Win
ter Garden area, due to the freeze,
has created a good market for that
commodity of which Valley growers
are taking advantage.

A UNION SERVICE

The New York building trades have
a compensation service for their
joint memberships. They have pro-
vided an agency to look after compen-
sation application. No law will work
automatically. Applications for COM
pensation must be made before it can
be granted.
Not every worker knows his rights
under the law or knows how to state
his claim so as to get what should
come to him. 1t is not necessary to
have lawyer but familiarity with
procedure is essential.
Building tradesmen are liable to
many industrial accidents and fatall-
ties. The New York unions found a
way to meet the problem by employ
ing an expert to do this work for
them. The unions paid to the bureau
during the past fiscal year $40,603.4S,
or 81 on approximately 100000 work
men. The agency collected on claims
81 ,557 ,845. 5.06-certainly satisfac-
tory return on the investment.
This is type of service which
individual unions or groups of unions
can most effectively render their
members, which in addition would
prove a good inducement to other
workers to join the union.

WORDS OF WISDOM

1t is labor that lays the founda-
tions of empires, that clears up con-
tinents, that builds cities, that oper-
ates railroads, gathers news, prints
papers, cultivates the earth, feeds the
nations and elevates man; and it is
the men who toll with their hands who
are entitled to special consideration,
although they get little credit for
their work. The men who gather at
banquets dressed in fine linen and
soft raiment may imagine that they
are the state, but it is not so. Many
of them are simply parasites, eating
bread that others toll for; all could
be wiped out and the nation would
go right on; they would scarcely be
missed.-John P. Altgeld.

COSTS OF LIVING

During the war time, when mount
ing prices leaped ahead of income
rises, announcement of changes in
costs of living data aroused eager in
terest. With return to normal pro-
duction and the stabilization ssof
prices, cost of living data is no longer

With increasing production and
higher productivity, workers are
much more interested in what their
incomes will buy and how to raise
their standards. 1t is a matter of
general information that there are
many standards Of living among the
wage-earners of the United States.
These standards differ from craft to
craft, conditioned by incomes and en-
vironment factors. They differ from
section to section and from latitude
to latitude. They change as techni-
cal progress provides new conven-
fences.
Wage-earners are interested ir
