How It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Drop in the Bucket"

THAT is not drop in the bucket"
is constantly used in relation
to something which bears a negligi-
BILE or insignificant proportion to ev-
erything around it.
This expression is so familiar as
to lead us, enormously, to believe that
1t is an American or Anglo-Saxon
idiom. AS matter of fact, it goes
back much farther.
We have it in fact, as we have so
many of our best colloquialisms, from
the Bible. This one is from Isaiah
Kills:
Behold, nations are as a drop out
Of a bucket, and as the small dust Of
the balance are they counted: behold,
isles are like the flying dust"

HOURS CUT FOR
MILLINERS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)--Maxi-
mum work hours in the millinery in
dustry are fixed at 35 hours per week
in proposed new code, instead of
37k hours per week as in the present
code. A public hearing on the new
or amended code will be held here on
June 4.
The present code of the millinery
industry was approved December Is,
1888, with provision of effectiveness
only until May Is, 1884. Recently
the code was extended until June Is
by executive order. The proposed
amended code, if approved, will re,
place the present code on June 15
There are various detailed revisions
in the new proposals but the major
change is that Of reducing the maxi
mum work hours.
The code authority of the industry
is sponsoring the amended code. The
millinery workers are well organized
and the workers are represented on
the code authority.

without any member Of the Darrow
Board stopping to inquire from any
authoritative source the effect Of such
attacks upon the economic well-being
of the nations wage earners.
"The Darrow report sought to
idealize and glorify the interest of
the small business man and the con-
sumner. Obviously, the small business
man profits more under condition
of a high price return for his mer-
chandise. 1t is equally obvious that
the consumer of such merchandise is
better pleased and feels better pro-
tected under condition Of low prices.
The Darrow Board should decide
which of these groups it elects to
serve. Certainly, it cannot ride
horses going in opposite directions.
The Darrow report has rendered
a dis-service to the nation and it's
citizens in time of great economic
stress. It has pandered to the worst
elements in our political and economic
life. If it's members are not conscious
of these facts, they are victims of
arch stupidity and have forfeited their
right to continue to function as a
government agency.

Low ONTARIO
Wages Running Gamers and
Fruit Growers i'm Other
Canada Provinces

Ottawa (ILNS)-Due to low wages,
a juggernaut has been created in Que
bee which is rolling over and fatten-
ing out the canning industry and the
fruit and vegetable growers of On
tario and British Columbia. M M.
Robinson, representing the Ontario
Market Growers Council, stated in
evidence before the parliamentary
committee on price spreads.
The Quebec wage scale for workers
in canning plants ran about 81 for
14-hour day, or about seven cents an
hour, the witness said. Ontario's
scale was Is to 22 cents an hour for
an 8-hour day, while British Colum-
bia paid 80 cents an hour for an
8-hour day.
Ontario growers are agitating for
uniform prices, codes and licensing
of Gamers.
Vegetable and fruit growers have
become serfs of business combina-
tions, Mr.. Robinson declared. Collec-
tive buying of Gamers, allied with or
subsidiary to chain store combines,
had forced producer prices below pro-
duction cost; collective selling of
basket makers, fertilizer and other
concerns forced up prices of supplies
to extortionate figures. 'In their
fight for existence, the growers are
like a ragged mob, armed with clubs
and scythes, up against an army
equipped with modern mechanism and
machine guns"
At the present grower prices one
cents worth of tomatoes are put in
can the tin of which costs 8 cents.
"The collective power of the interna-
tional tin cartel is greater than that
of the canners," Mr.. Robinson re-
marked Another witness said that
the Gamers put g ounces of straw
berriesin a 32-ounce jar of STRAW
berry JAM" the adulterated filling
being of Tasmania or apple pulp.
Meantime, the Gamers have vast
ed excess profits in the construction
of plants with a capacity four times
their requirement.

Washington.-A brief containing a
convincing battery of facts and argu-
ments in favor of 10 per cent re-
duction in hours and corresponding
increase in wages for workers in in
dustries operating under codes of fair
competition has been presented by the
Labor Advisory Board to the national
recovery administration through the
Labor Policy Board, headed by DR..
Leon c.. Marshall, according to press
reportss here.
The brief contends that not only are
the shorter hours and higher wages
necessary unless the NRA is to fail
because higher prices are not accom-
panied by increased purchasing
power, but maintains that larger in
dustrial profits since the NRA codes
went into effect make it possible for
many companies to make the change
without loss. In support of this claim
the Advisory Board cites figures pub
lished by the National City Bank of
New York to show that 1,475 COM
panies which reported a deficit of
$97 100000 in 1882 showed profit of
1861 100000 in 1888.
Emphasizing the Importance of con-
verting some of these boosted profits
into purchasing power through the
income of the workers, and pointing
out that the maximum work week of
40 hours prescribed in most codes
resulted in a large volume of re-
employment, the memorandum con-
tinued:
Jobs For 100000
"a uniform reduction in hours of
10 per cent will not be a great bur-
den at this time in view of the marked
improvement in profits in the post
code period.
"a further reduction in hours of 10
per cent, with a concomitant increase
in wage rates, would be far easier
burden now than were the original
terms imposed in the codes.
"Most industries have had from
six to eight months to adjust them
selves to the new conditions, and they
have done so with profit to them
selves.
"The reduction in hours on the
1910 principle will have the follow
ing results:
First, in anticipation of increasing
labor costs, prices will tend to rise,
thus stimulating spending, as proved
in the first experiment.
Secondly, we estimate that it will
reabsorb about a million and half
workers on the same level of produc-
ton.
'Third, the absorption of these
workers should still further stimulate
demand, production and employment y

Land Bank Will
Be Lenient With
Farm Borrowers
Policy Of National Farm AssO.
citation To Look After
Honest Farmers

Talmage L. Watkins of Cedar Grove
ecretary-treasnrer of the Western
Maryland National Farm Loan Asso-
citation, said today that foreclosure
proceedings by the Federal Land
Bank of Baltimore against it's delin-
quent borrowers will not be instigat-
ed as long as % the farmer is doing
his honest best; (2) is applying the
proceeds of production over and above
his necessary living expenses to the
payment of his primary obligations;
! (3) is taking proper care of the prop
erty; and az has the capacity to
work MS way out of his existing bur-
den of debt under normal conditions.
| Charles S. jackson, president of the
Baltimore land bank, in advising Mr..
Watkins of this foreclosure policy,
said; "This policy on foreclosure pro-
ceedings is not confined to the Balti-
more farm credit district (same as
land bank district), but is also in
force in the other eleven districts of
the country"
However, the land bank will press
its just claims against those few
farmers who are not only failing to
meet their debts but who also are
actually attempting to escape them by
most unethical and unfair acts. These
few schemers seemingly do not under
stand that such practices do two
things: ~ Such acts fall upon the
shoulders of loyal and cooperative
members of the farm credit family,
and thus add to their burdens; and
(2) They are undermining their own
credit regulations so that they will
find practically all sources of credit
closed to them in the future"
