Columbus.-As public officials in
tent upon satisfying the popular de-
mand for economy, county commits
sioners understand the problems of
the state administration sand appreci-
ate the record it has achieved in cur
failing government expense. Their
experience and observation led mem
bers of the County Commissioners
Association of Ohio last week to adopt
resolution commencing Governor
George White.
"In meeting the existing economic
crisis Governor White has advocated
and has practiced the policy of re-
trenchment and reduction of public
expenditures" it said. "The COVER
nor's policy has as its object the se-
curing of economies which will en-
able the state of Ohio to balance it's
budget without increasing ordinary ex7
penditures. we heartily Approve this
policy of economical administration as
exemplifed BY the Governor and we
commend to all public officials and es-
pecially to members of this associa-
ton, the adoption of a similar pro-
gram of reduction of public expendi-

The business man or manufacturer whose hope for
the future is wrapped up in an expected return to pre-
war normally is out on a limb. For pre-war normally
never will return. That's history.
We still hear suggestions and hopes Of reverting
to Old-time methods and the pre-war business basis, but,
according to Dr.. Julius Klein, of the United States De-
partment Of Commerce, such a retrogression would be
about as simple as an attempt to return to the middle
ages-and as profitable.
There isn't a great deal of room in business these
days for Aunt Sarah, who inherited a shoe factory and
insisted that the factory go on making %highlaced shoes
because Uncle Ezra sold EN- in the 70s. American bust
ness never was more dynamic and volatile than it is to-
day, with a constantly changing front in practically all
lines.
Since 1921, Mn. Klein points out American business
has left as monuments of its progress a long succession Of
iunk-heaps NJ discarded processes, Anticipated ideas and
obsolete policies. There have been tragedies Of those
who chung too long to revered and once profitable prac
tees.
The new business man must be eager to take adj
vantage of the slightest changes in trend. 1t is no day
for secrecy. Backward glimpses should not be longing
and DESTROYS of what is behind, but intelligently inquisit-
i've of facts.

Organized labor feared the low liv-
ing scale and the urge for gainful
employment among the colored pop-
'ulation.
Twenty-one international unions
prohibited colored labor from enter

ed provisions, other unions either dis
couraged recruiting colored labor or
organized separate white and colored
unions, such as the musicians. long
shoremen. etc.
The trainment for instance have
generally been closed to colored lab
or, while the strong coal miners IN
ion was open to all races, creeds and
color. Lately the colored workers
have been admitted into the garment
workers trade. There has been no
great urge Of the part Of the colored
workers to force the unions to admit
their numbers to membership.
The white employers discouraged
this action and the colored leaders
have been openly suspicious of the
organizers motives. The claim is
made in strikes, that colored labor
through loyalty to their union. are

The Negro leaders feel that their
inductions in industry have generally
come through strikes or in times OF
great labor shortage, colored labor
has been found efficient when prop
erly trained to their jobs. The crit.
icism brought against them by some
plant foreman is their proneness to
quit after an earning spell, to enjoy
their hard won leisure, making a
higher turnover for the plant than
in the case of white labor.
