United States Senator Burton K
Wheeler, of Montana, returns from
Russia to say that Americans are a
bunch of suckers" for not recogniz-
ing the soviet regime in Russia.
While the soviets plan to devastate
democracy by whatever method works
best, while the soviets make war on
our labor movement, while the soviets
employ convicts to produce cheap
goods to throw into our markets,
while the soviets make kind of war
of which they are just now capable
and avow their determination to sup
plant free government with brutal
communism, we are, it seems, "a
bunch of suckers" for not facilitating
their efforts.
Happily it doesn't lie within the
power of the emphatic senator from
Montana to change the situation
which he rather inelegantly describes.

EDUCATE For THE FUTURE

The clock has struck; the hour has
arrived when there are no jobs for
ordinary workers who have passed
the 50year mark. Just around the
corner, there will be no jobs for the
ordinary workers past 40 years of age.
This condition is not felt by all of
US, but it is being felt by many work
ers, especially in those lines of indus
try where methods Of production are
rapidly being revolutionized through
machinery and through the changing
demands Of modern times.
Many workers today, who have
reached so years of age, have spent
their entire lives in learning and
practicing one trade, or one calling;
now they find themselves out of jobs
and, because of their age, are unable

ADVICE TO MILLIONAIRES

The gentleman was introduced on
the sound news-reel as one who would
speak a few golden words on the SUBJ
ject of prosperity. His name is ur-
important. He is prominent, popular
and many times a millionaire. This,
in substance, is what he had to say:
eve are having what we call hard
times We should not be discouraged,
but should recall, rather, that periods
of depression have occurred before
this and after they passed they never
seemed as serious as we thought
them"
He talked more than that, of
course, but that was what he really
said.
Here was man who has a good
home and an ample supply of good
food and good clothing for himself
and family, blandly chattering about
periods of depression" and their
transitory nature. To him period of
depression is nothing more than q
name descriptive of time during
which his income might be reduced
from an amount that he could not pos
sibly spend to an amount that forces
him to make the yacht do for another
year Some one should take him aside
and whisper in his ear that there are
millions of people in the country for
whom a period of depression has an
entirely different meaning. 1t is a
time when man sees his family suf-
fer from cold and hunger. 1t is a
time during which a man lies awake
wondering where he will get the
money to pay the rent.
Of course, it was kind and gener-
ous and thoughtful of our millionaire
friend to set aside his caviar long
enough to drop few words of en-
couragement to the poor. But some
how optimism passes more gracefully
from one poor man to another.-Co-

HUMAN NATURE is SAME

The tobacco trusts low-wage policy
has been extended to tobacco grow
ers, who are paid 71a and cents a
pound. This is less than the cost of
production.
Growers in one North Carolina
county, together with business men,
agreed to boycott all tobacco products
until a fair price is paid. They ad-
vised growers to join the Co-Opera-
tive Association and declared they
will work less hours next year by re-
ducing the acreage 25 per cent.
Wage workers, under similar con-
ditions, do likewise, but they run the
risk of being enjoined for "interfer
ing with interstate commerce."

A PROSPERITY WAGE

Now comes the department of la
Dor at Washington with new reve.
lation. That is, it may be new to
Washington, but it is not new to the
workers, who know pretty much
where their hard-earned money is go
ing.
Conducting an investigation in a
midwest city on how the earnings
of a worker are spent, the depart
ment of labor has found that a head
of family of five earning in a year
$1,719.83 spends $566.12, or 1928 per
cent of his budget for food; $388.81
for housing, or 22.6 per cent; S21O.67.
or 1872 per cent, for clothing; $1O3. 20,
or 6 per cent, for fuel and light;
$3.50, or So per C ent, for furni-
ture and house furnishings; S59.16. or
3.4 per cent, for insurance; S37.40.
or 2.2 per cent, for street car or bus
fare; $64.73, or 3.8 per cent, for sick
ness; $6.41, or 0.4 per cent, for
schools; 1864, or / pc rcent, for
cleaning supplies and toilet articles:
S12.37, or or per cent, for barber
ing, and s175.77, or 1912 per cent, for
miscellaneous. You, who are family
of five, go over the above figures and
note the meagerness of some of the
allowances, like fuel and light, sick
ness, schools, barbering, ETC., and see
how you would like to match them in
your own life.
But to earn $1,719.83 year a work
er must be a union member. There
aren't any non-union men receiving
'uch an income As matter of fact

STRIKEBREAKER
Goes Free; Boy Corn Pilfer'
erS Punished

Doylestown, Pa. (ILNS) - Three
boys living in bungalow at New
portville, Bucks county, stole six
ears of corn apiece. Judge Hirman
Keller in the court of common pleas
sent the lads to Jail for 80 days and
also imposed fines of $50 each and
costs.
But when Albert Dakin, strike
breaker in the Hulmeville full fash
ioned mill, came up charged with
threatening to shoot Ella Baumester,
girl picket, the Judge was exceeding
ly tolerant. Dakin violently abused
Miss Baumester, May 8 last, while
she was on picket line and used OBJ
scene language to her. He struck
her with an iron bar and flew into
violent rage. Judge Keller let Da-
kin go.

"For college students who have

lation to pickets the last three morn

and manhandling that the picket line
was subjected to by the police makes

picket"

to secure other work regardless OF
their experience and ability. The
modern trend is toward the junking
of older persons and the employment
of those who have the quickness and
pliability of youth What the ordi-
nary worker is to make and save must
be made and saved before he is 40
for, from then on, his days of savings
are over.
This condition has contributed
much to the present day agitation for
old age pension and state aid for the
unemployed; those things will come
and must come with the march of
events.
Another factor that must be con-
sidered as helping to relieve this con-
dition is that of education. An ignor-
ant worker rarely makes more than
a poor living at his prime, and while
the education of the workers will not
be a cure-all, yet the child that is
educated today will be in a better
position to meet the demands of life
in his later years than will child
whose education is neglected for the
few paltry pennies he may earn.
The education of the young is the
rock upon which rests the security OF
future society.

" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Old line economists, as they are
called, are in the picture again. They
are proclaiming, with all the wis
dom of the croaking frog on the half
sunk log, that wages must fall as
commodity prices fall.
How wonderful it must be to have
brains like that. How far above the
mob these old bozos must feel, serene
in the purity of their intellectual
power, untouched by any hurly burly
contact with the living, moving
world.
Wages must come down as prices
come down. "Now, amt that sum-
pin'?"
There ought to be some way by
which men could be prevented from
calling themselves economists when
they are merely so many ancient
shells in which modicum of ossified
brain cell rattles from side to side
but there isn't and so we have to
vi eW OuI OWL SIlHcIIOHS.
If what these cloistered souls say
were the truth it would mean that
the modern mechanical world would
shortly undo itself-that the more
we make machinery do the less we
get out of it.
The only trouble with the dear old
souls is that they have got the cart
before the horse, or, putting it in
more modern terms, they are in re-
verse.
The modern system of production
would eat itself up if their verdict
were true.
But it is not true. 1t is sheer rub
bish.
Machine production, if it accom-
plishes anything, cheapens the cost
of production per unit. If that
means anything at all it means that
unit selling costs must come down
and wages must go up. In addition
to that hours of work must be de-
creased
We are in our present trouble be-
cause the gap between national pro-
ducing power and national buying
power was too wide. Wages were
too low and prices were too high.
Too much remained unconsumed.
Falling commodity prices help to
close that gap, help to move away
the unconsumed pile, help to bring
buying power within striking dis
tance of consuming power.
That narrows down somewhat the
stream of certain profits, but it
makes all profits, as whole, more
stable. And it makes commodities
move more steadily, regularly, con-
tinuously.
And now come the old line econo-
mists, jumping on this truth, trying
to put the hand cradle back where
the combination harvester is operat-
ing under motor power.
But the hands Of time will not
turn back. Machinery will not give
way.
All economists, before they can use
the title, ought to have to spend
months in shops, on railroads, on
farms, in banks and in newspaper
offces-above all, perhaps, in news
paper offices.
They would learn to relate facts
to theories, or theories to facts. |

RAW MATERIALS BOUGHT
FOR HIGH PRICES LATER

Washington. - Manufacturers are
quietly investing idle funds in raw
materials, according to the depart
ment of commerce.
These purchases of certain lines,
such as crude rubber, are considered
a good investment because of low
prices. The extra profit will be the
difference between present prices and
prices when the depression passes.
