RURAL SHORTSIGHTEDNESS

We are inclined to believe, after
talking it over with several tillers of
the soil, that trade unionism isn't
very popular down on the farm these
days.
Mr.. Farmer, it seems, would like
to commit suicide by swinging over
into the ranks of those who would
bring down living standards.
eve are getting less for our prod
ucts, yet still pay wartime wages for
our machinery and equipment" they
argue. "The wage of the city worker
must come down."
They likewise seem fond of siding
in with those who assure you that
everybody would be busy and "pros-
porous" if the industrial worker would
work for less, believing apparently
that the factories then would "oper
up"
The farmer of 1881, it begins te
seem reasonably certain, thinks union
ism is quite handicap in the move
to bring back prosperity.
And the farmer is shortsighted, We
| reply with equal assurance.
If the city workers don't receive
sufficient even now for their labol
TO buy the products of the farm, how
could they do it if their purchasing
power should come down ?
! Does the farmer forget that nj
days of So wheat and other prosper
| ity were identical with those of higl
wages of the war period-when fac
tory workers were receiving as higl
as $75 to $100 week?
The unionist has been wont to sym
pathize with the farmer in his financia
plight of recent years, and has stoot
ready at all times to give him th'
benefit of his knowledge of the value o
organization. He regrets that hi
friendliness cannot be met by some
thing other than that which he i
getting.

NOn-UniOn Hotel Cuts
Wages of All Employees

Bakersfield, Calf. (ILNS)-The Ell
TETON Hotel, local community owned
hotel which has been operating nom
union, has cut wages by 5 per cent.
The cut amounts to 80 cents a week
for mattresses, who have been re-
ceiving SIS week, as against a union
scale of $25 week. The cut applied
to all employees of the hotel.

Rubber. It's interesting stuff. 1t
stretches. 1t sheds rain. 1t holds hot
rwater for the invalid. 1t makes
automobiles roll easy. 1t cushions
railroad car trucks, sometimes. And,
it makes people go goofy at times
when they talk about it.
We have been hearing about rub
ber plants-factories-t have gone
TO Canada because of the Canadian
tariff. We are told, by low farm ad-
yocates, that the Canadian tariff is in
retaliation for our own, which is bosh
We are expected to shiver over the
tales of vast employment lost to
United States workers because Of this
alleged migration of rubber factories.
Horrendous tales be these about rub
Der.
But what no! What have we here :?
Our manufacturers sold 54,OOO,OOO
tires last year. This year they ex-
pect, at a minimum, to sell 6O,OOO,-
600.
And our own factories, still with
us, could, operating at capacity, turn
out 100000 tires year, which
is 25,OOO,OOO more than the tire-using
capacity OF THE WHOLE WORLD!
Think that over.
Tires prices have shot down, twice
as far as the average of commodity
prices. They are 45.7 per cent OF
what they were in 1925.
Mail order houses have helped roll
tires down the tobgogan.
The industry has been largely de.
moralized and disordered, by it's owr
madness, not by whatever tariff may
have done.
Doing no justice to the employees
manufacturers are heading TOWARD
disaster for themselves, not through
any migration, but through plant
capacity in excess of WORLD de
mand and a consequent war to tht
death for possession of what marke
there is.
If rubber manufacturers are going
to Canada, as some Of them are will
some of their plant capacity, it is th'
desperation of battle against thei
own competitors that is driving then
and it is with the withheld wages O.
the employees that they are able t.
build.
Why are we asked to believe tha
such an industry is leaving home IL
a fight for fairer field? Why ar
we asked to believe that these rubbe
manufacturers are bedeviled out O
America by our government
j Rubber stretches and so does truth
Rubber, we may fear, has been use'
as a horrible example of persecution
to serve the needs of those who hav
nothing to do with rubber.
1t is of more than passing interes
that Firestone is at war with tn
great Sears, Roebuck & Co., whicl
has gained more publicity than
likes because of it's printing contrac
with the anti-union R. R. Donnelle
outfit.
And the tires that Sears, Roebuc
sells are made by Goodyear, whic
only recently cut already too-loN

And so the rubber kings fgh

WAGE BILL PASSED

Springfield, Ill.-The state legisla-
ture passed the Smell prevailing wage
bill. No contractor or sub-contractor
on Illinois public works can pay a
wage lower than the prevailing rate
in that community.
The bill is intended to check the
importation of cheap labor.

stories pleading for consideration of
the gentry of rubber. Perhaps it
might be well to get for those who do
the pleading one Of the simplest of
rubber articles-a teething ring.

PREVAILING WAGE RATE WINS

Madison, Wis.-The Wisconsin as

with the prevailing wage in the coun-
ty where the work is done.

THE KIDDIES' CAMP

The Kiddies' Health Camp on
Waterworks hill is something very
close to the heart of local organized
labor, and all members of the move
ment are "sweet' on the idea of the
institution and every word or boost
in its behalf is appreciated. In an
issue last week the Hamilton Daily
News praised the good of the camp
and the efforts of organized labor
in it's behalf. While we are not look
ing for bouquets, feeling well repaid
by the good that is done in the way
of building up the health of weak and
frail boys and girls, yet organized
labor, like all others, is pleased at
the recognition of its efforts by
others.
Following is the News editorial:
Inc CnlIQrenS heaILn camp
The child has taken on new value
in the world since the Master of men
men spoke His eternal words: Inas-
much as We have done it unto one of
the least of these, my brethren, We
have done it unto Me.
In the days before He came into
the world, the infant was not so we'll
treated-just in most cases, another
person born to trouble and privation.
But He clothed the infant with a soul
and the attitude of mankind has been
changed.
There will be opened on top of
Wilson's hill in few days, the Chill
dren's Health Camp, where 100 un-
dernourished and frail children, of
the many hundreds in Hamilton, will
be nursed back to health. This camp
is made ready each year through the
free ecorts of organized labor and
other organizations, and is maintained
largely from the Community Chest.
Children, after going through the
proper medical examination are sent
there-ffty girls for one month and
so boys for another month. Proper
diet, exercise, rest and play under
competent supervision, works wonders
in the bodies of these unfortunate
youth.
The Health Camp is an outstanding
effort for good in Hamilton, and the
Daily News hopes that the time is
not far distant when it can be en-
larged sufficiently to care for every
boy and girls needing its attention.
