THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY
CUCKOO

August A. Busch made a dignifed,
candid statement about the meaning
of modification from an economic
point of view.
DR.. Eugene Crawford, secretary Of
the Board of Temperance and Social
Service of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, burst forth to say that
the proposal to restore beer ''is about
as sane as the suggestion one might
make to an impoverished and unem-
ployed family that the way for them
to regain financial solvency would be
to make all the liquor they could and
drink it themselves in order to get
rich"
And that about measures the intel
ligence of this DR.. Crawford His
argument sounds like the old saw
which had that everyone would be
prosperous taking in each others
washing. But that happens not to
be the way the economic world func-
tions, and it happens not to be the
case with modification.
This reverend secretarial gent went
on to say that the main employment
gain would be among grave diggers,
asylum guards, hangmen, etc. What
rot! What unfairness and nonsense
from man who is set up as a spokes-
for a great church. Office boys and
stenographers get fired when they
display much less mental awkward
ness and ineptness than this
The modification movement is a
movement of sanity, of economic
soundness and of fundamental liber-
tarianism. 1t is sweeping the nation
and that's what makes these dry job
holders SO wild and unbalanced.

Club exhibits, the third presenta-
tion Of this event, particularly at
tractive to Ohio's young farmers
and farmerettes will excel all
others. Its encouragement and
support by the older generation
will have much to do with the fu-
thre of American agriculture.
MACHINERY-Contrary to pre-
diction, no dimunition in the dis
play of farm machinery will be
noted this year. Ohio State Fair
presents the most improved models
for soil preparation, cultivation and
harvesting. The display of road
machinery will be larger than ever.
COLISEUM Horses and cattle
will be judged daily in the Coli
scum. 5000 free seats are avail
able for spectators.
For a decade the Fair manage
ment has announced, "The Worlds
Greatest Sheep Show" We now
believe it, as records are shattered
year after year. One of the feat
ures of the show this year that will
entertain as well as educate is the
Sheep Shearing Contest.
Some one has said that the per-
son who dislikes dogs is fit for
treason, spoils, etc. If there be
such person in Ohio, then he had
better not visit the Dog Show

FIGHT WAGE REDUCTIONS

The American Federation of Labor
calls upon all labor to fight against
reductions of wages.
The call is timely. Labor will re-
spond as best it may. Only minor
ity of the workers are organized.
Several million are out of employ
ment. These conditions make it diff
fcult. Nevertheless, the fight must
be made. Perhaps few, hard-fought
strikes would help to bring wage
reducing employers to their senses.
They make the excuse that labor is
large part of the cost of produc-
tion and that they cannot sell their
products unless they cut down the cost
of production. They also say that the
cost of living is lower, and that there
fore wages should be lower.
All of which is fallacy. The retail
prices have not come down nearly as
much as the wholesale prices-and
retail prices are the ones which the
workers have to pay when they buy
goods; hence the cost of living has
not been cut very much.
But the factories buy their raw
materials at wholesale prices. They
get them much cheaper than they for
merly did This cuts down the cost
of production. Let them reduce their
costs in that way-not by taking it
out of the hide of labor.
Let them also remember that re.
ducing wages is the finest method
of prolonging the industrial depres-
sion-for reduction of wages reduces
the purchasing power of the workers,
whereas an increase of purchasing
power is very desirable in order to
buy the surplus of goods and enable

OHIO STATE FAIR BRIEFS

AGRICULTURE-The farmer is
that Atlas upon whose shoulders
the burdens of the world rest. De-
pendent upon him are all the arts,
sciences, industries and profess
sions. The 1881 growing season
has been replete with bountiful
rains and sunshine, consequently,
the best exhibit of agriculture and
horticulture in history is expected.
$4,000 in premiums are offered
for these products.
LIVESTOCK Most closely al
lied to the soil and its grain crops
is livestock-horses, cattle, sheep
and swine. When grain price lev
els are low, the farmer can usually
realize better prices by marketing
the grain in the form of livestock.
The "Ohio Million Dollar Livestock
Show" is recognized supreme from
all the far flung corners of the
North American continent. En-
tries received indicate the greatest
show ever.
HORTICULTURE-From Ohio's
orchards and vineyards will ema-
nate the most luscious specimens
in years to greet State Fair Wis
itorS.

Machinery compelled abandonment
of the 10-hour day, just as it forced
the 12-hour day into oblivion.
Those who think machinery has
brought us only woe can look at that
vast release from toll and laugh it off
if they can.
The thing that now compels the
executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor to declare for a
6-hour day is MACHINERY.
The council knows that the world
is moving mighty fast and so it
doesn't make any hard and fast rule
about six hours. 1t declares for the
6-hour day OR whatever shorter
length workday is necessary to spread
employment to all workers.
So, just as the 8-hour day was a
passing goal, so the 6-hour day is d
passing goal, and mark this: We
shall pass the 6-hour day goal lot
faster than we passed the 8-hour day
goal
The speed if ali kinds of develop
ment increases as the years pass.
We move faster this year than last
Ia great deal faster than ten years
ago.
Look back; each can remember Out
of his own experience.
1t isn't so many years ago that we
saw hod carriers on every masonry
construction job.
There are still some hod carriers
but most of that work is done by ele.
vators operated by well organized
hoisting engineers.
So it is on every hand
The reaper was great thing; ther
the binder was great thing; but now
combines operate in gangs!
Printers know the story of growing
speed, too. They need but look a
their surroundings and think back t
apprenticeship days.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-08-28


A good many printers have for
quite some time been working less
than an 8-hour day. Machinery did IT..
If it were but possible to obtain and
maintain CONSTANT adjustment be-
tween men and machinery between
men and their ability to produce
machinery should at once have a
marvellous civilization
That is the real goal toward which
we move.
The 5-day week is a horse of the
same color-and fine pair of horses
they make.
The first suggestion of a Saturday
half holiday shocked a lot of people.
But they got used to it and liked it.
Today some six millions have seven
holidays a week-spreading leisure
time all wrong punching it insteaj
of spreading it.
Only reduced working hours anc
increased wages can provide the rem.
edy for that awful punching of free
time.
Organized labor's program woulc
make real free time out of this non,
working time, this unemployment.
Nobody else has offered program
that helps anything.
1t is about time for America t
take labor's program seriously ane
make it operative.

retail stores to order more and there
by enable the factories to operate at
full blast.
A confidential report from Wash
ington, based on things heard in and
around the International Chamber of
Commerce session, says that some
American employers realize the
soundness of the theory of high wages
and increased purchasing power. If
so, they should get busy and convince
the rest of the employers.
In any event the workers must and
will resist reductions of wages. They
can't do otherwise. - Milwaukee

Jobs For Thousands
On Federal Buildings

Washington. The building pro-
gram of the United States govern
men will provide work for approx
mately 100000 additional men during
the next two years, according to an
estimate made by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Ferry \.
Heath.
The building program calls for the
expenditure of $700,00O,000, of which
about $5OO,000,00O will be expended
in the District of Columbia
1t is estimated that total OF about
10000 men will be employed, direct
ly and indirectly, under this program,
during the winter, and the number
will be increased as the number of
projects under way increases.
The treasury department explains
that the increase of 100000 comes
about because Of a large number of
costly buildings and number Of
smaller projects are getting under
way.

HOURS OF LABOR

Reasonable hours of labor promote
the economic and social well-being of
the toiling masses. Their attainment
should be one of labor's principal and
essential activities. The shorter
workday and a shorter work week
make for constantly growing, high
er and better standard of productiv-
ity, health, longevity, morals and
citizenship.
The right of labor to fix its houcs
of work must not be abrogated.

EXPORT DEBENTURE
WILL Be REVIVED
National Grange to Urge
TWo-Cent Rate of Cotton
and Tobacco.
By the Associated Press.


The export debenture will spring
back to attention next week as a pro-
posal for aiding agriculture.
The Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Grange will favor debenture
rate of cents a. pound on tenderable
cotton and tobacco.
The debenture has been the oranges
idea for so years of the way to make
the tariff effective on farm products.
Exporters of surplus commodity would
be issued negotiable certificates in most
cases equal to half the tariff on that
particular product, and they in turn
would discount them to importers to
be used at face value in payment of
import duties
While the plan does not take money
out of the Treasury directly it keeps
an amount equal to the value of the
debentures from coming in. The ques-
ton of how to fill that hole in the
national revenue has been one source
of opposition to the debenture.
The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton with 100000 members has re-
vived its old favorite, the equalization
fee. Senator McNary of oregon, chair
! man of the Senate Committee on agri-
culture, has warned that national farm
