HIGHER WAGES
FIRST IN PLAN
OF ROOSEVELT
Price Boosts Should Come
After Pay Goes Up,
View of President.
PLEADS WITH INDUSTRY
Worker Must Be Considered
or Whole Program Will
Fall, He Declares.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June II. - The
new recovery act can improve bust
ness only if price increases are de-
ferred until after wages have risen
and even then are kept proportion
ately below wage increases, Presi-
dent Roosevelt told the American
people today.
In a ringing challenge and appea,
to industry and labor, the President
outlined the things he hopes &c
achieve under "one of the most i'm
portant laws that ever came from
congress" and his proposed method
of procedure.
He pointed out that success OF
failure OF the great project depends
upon movement of prices.
Depend on Sales Increase
I am fully aware that wage in
creases eventually will raise costs
out L ask that arrangements give
hrSt consideration to the improve
ment of operating figures by greatly
increased sales to be expected from
the rising purchasing power of the
public" said President Roosevelt
That Is good economics and GOOD
business"
The aim of this whole effort is
10 restore our rich domestic market
by raising its vast consuming capa-
CITY. II we now initiate prices as
fast and as far as we increase
wages, the whole project will be set
at naught.
We can not hope for the full
effect of this plan unless, in the first
critical months, and, even at the
expense of full initial profits. we de-
Ter price increases as long as pos
sible. io0
If we thus can start a strong
SOUND, upward spiral of business ac-
tlVlty, our industries will have little
doubt of profitable operations in the
last quarter of the year. The pent-
up demand of this people is very
great and if We can release it on So
broad a front, We need not fear a
tagging recovery"
Must Pay Living Wages
In his demand for better wages
President Roosevelt laid down the
principle that mo business which
depends for its existence on paving
less than living wages to it's workers
has any right to continue in this
country"
And, he added "by business
mean the whole of commerce. as
well as the whole of industry: by
workers. mean all workers-the
white collar class as well as the
men in overalls; and by living wages
mean more than bare subsistence
level mean the wages of decent
living"
If the change is made from
starvation wages and starvation en-
ployment to living wages and
sustained employment" the Pres
ldent sees for industry "the opening
up of the richest market which the
world has known"

Russ Veterans Meet in Hospital
;: SERVED IN IMPERIAL ARMY =:
Separated Years Ago in Far East

Keck left Russia in 1900 and settled
IN Washburn. Bertsch had settled in
Ashley where he has lived ever since,
II years earlier. Living in adjoining
counties, Mclean and Mountrail, and
about 100 miles apart as the crow
flies, they were reunited only when
both required hospital care at the
same time.
Both have had two operations but
they are not talking about them. They
are reliving days in the army when
they earned 80 cents for four months
of service and bought their own
clothes; the days when cent and a
half day fed a Russian soldier.
Daily they marvel at the changes the
years have brought in their adopted
and native lands.
Though the pleasure has been shad-
ed bit by pain, the reunion in the
local hospital has been happy one
for these sturdy men who came out Of
Russia to make home In the new
world.
The Bismarck tribune., 1933-10-12

John F.. keck, Washburn, lay in a
Bismarck hospital following an oper-
alton.
Into the ward, after month or
two, came another patient.
Keck turned his head, stared,
blinked hs eyes and stared again. He
wondered if the operation hadn't at
fccted his mind, SO he closed his eyes
while and dozed.
After while he looked again. Still
his brain appeared subject to the
same queer twist Finally he spoke.
Aren't you Jacob Bertsch,' he
asked.
The answer was 'yes."
Common enough, perhaps, meeting
a friend in hospital, but just an
other proof that it is small world
after ALL For the last time keck saw
Bertsch was in South Russia "A years
ago when both were discharged after
a five-year term Of service in the old
imperial army from 1884 to 1889.
Bertsch came to America In 1889.
