HIGH PRICES BRANDED
RECOVERY OBSTACLE
BY B. P. Brown

BY B. P. Brown
Last June I wrote you stating We
would never break the depression by
higher prices, and I am still of that
opinion. I think there is a better
way than the NRA. This country Is
known to have an abundancy Of
natural resources, such as iron.
lumber, coal and oils, that should
belong to the people. But they are
all monopolized by capitalism.
Let the government take over
these resources and give the raw
material to industry. We have 10
sell cheaper goods in order 70 give
men jobs. We have the resources,
the machines and the workmen.
It's shame people can't have
cheaper goods in their homes.
could name hundreds of articles
such as gas ovens and electric re-
frigerators. How could a farmer
buy them at today's prices?

"a CITIZEN" HE'S
TELLING YOU
By E. S. Workman

BY f. 5. workman
In answer to "a Citizen" writing
in your Message Center on Return
to sane living and solve all your
problems:
wonder if this fellow is really q
citizen or a backwoodsman who just
came in on visit and thinks radios,
automobiles and washing machines
are luXuries. Don't you suppose
electric lights we're rather hard on
him for awhile?
He probably jumps in his trusty
old oXcart and goes down to the
creek to watch his wife do her
washing. When he wants music, he
listens to the wind singing through
the trees and underbrush.
This citizen must be one Of two
kinds of Yellowstone who has never
tried to just live or one who has
everything in the world himself but
wants to tell the average class all
the things they can be satisfied
without.

MORBID HUMANS

IT is almost impossible to understand the
L power that morbid curiosity can have over
human beings.
When that poor, kidnapped baby was buried
in Chicago recently a mob of 10000 people
tried to get into the chapel where the services
were being held. Thousands of them, &C
cording to press dispatches. swarmed up on
nearby autos and housetops to get a look at
things Many OF the funeral wreaths were
torn in pieces.
Women, according to one dispatch fought.
scratched, and pulled hair, attempting to reach
the entrance. Friends and neighbors OF the
dead babys family were showed to the rear"
A display of this kind is just about enough
to make one disguised with the whole human
race.
1t is too bad that the people who were in
this mob can not get an understanding of the
horror and disgust with which all decent
people look upon them and their antics.

Record Advance
In Power Output
Shown for Week
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 21.-Shcwing
a record percentage gain over last
year. electric power output last week
amounted to 1,650,0l3,Oo0 kilowatt
hours against 1,375 ,297 900 in the cor
responding 1888 period, the Edison
Electric Institute reported today. The
previous weeks out-turn was 1,647,-
024,O00 kilowatt hours.
The 20 per cent rise over the pre-
vious year, the largest ever reported
by the institute in year-to-year COM
parsons, is partly explained by the
fact that comparable 1888 figures reg
istered extreme low in the sharply
downward trend following the March
6 bank moratorium. The previous
weeks rise of 1874 per cent was also
partly attributable to that situation.
The New England district had a
gain Of 1872 per cent over the 1888
figure, against an increase of IT per
cent in the previous week; Middle
Atlantic was up 14.7. against 141;
Central industrial, up 30.l, against
PTS; West Central, up 1873, against

PACE MAINTAINED

Effects of Auto Situation
Offset by Heavier Rail
Orders.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 21.-"The labor
crisis in the automobile industry finds
steel production undiminished. While
new business from the motor car
builders has dropped materially, ship
ments against past commitments have
held up surprisingly we'll Whatever
recession demand is traceable to the
difficulties confronting the automotive
trade has been offset by heavier
orders from the railroads and other
sources" says the Iron Age.
Failure Of presidential interven-
tion to avert clash between organ
lied labor and the automobile industry
might be followed by rather general
suspension of steel shipments to motor
car makers, with resumption depend
ent on the severity and duration Of
the strike. The plan of attack of the
American Federation of Labor is to
order strikes only in plants where it
believes it has a majority Of the en-
ployes within its ranks. But there is
little doubt that if the strike should
gather momentum, it would spread to
other plants, with the possible excep-
ton Of the Ford Motor Co., and might
finally extend to other industries, in
cluding steel.
Meanwhile steel production is un-
changed from a week ago at 4812
per cent of capacity. The Chicago
rate is off two points to Al per cent

Sheet Mills Curtailed.

Finishing mill operations have been
more sensitive to current labor diff
cultieS than raw steel output. Sheet
mill schedules have been revised
downward to about SIS per cent, chiefly
because Of the receding specifications
from the automobile industry, and
strip mills have been similarly af-
fected. Tin plate production has
dipped five points to IS per cent of
capacity. but fresh flow of releases
may soon wipe out this loss. Un-
doubtedly canmakers have been ac-
cumulating stocks as protection
against possible labor trouble in the
tin mills later in the year. Existing
agreements with the Amalgamated
Association expire July !, and strike
at that time would fit in with tin
mill operatives distaSte for work dur
ing the hottest season of the year.
The labor threat is coloring the
market picture in other directions
also. The present wage agreement
with bituminous coal miners. which
calls for a 40-hour week, will expire
April /. Demands are now being made
by labor groups for 80 or 35 hour
work week, with a 10 per cent wage
increase. These changes, it is es-
timated, would raise costs at least 20
per cent and make further price ad
vances inevitable. Coal shipments in
the Pittsburgh district are already
showing gain, suggesting the build
ing up of stocks as a protection
against possible interruption Of out
put.
Higher fuel costs would, of course,
affect steel costs, and this conSidera-
ton is even now influencing the policy
Of certain steel consumers, who are
placing second quarter contracts for
plates. shapes and bars and other
materials The volume of this buying
has received less attention than it
deserves because of the large gap LEFT
by the suspension of forward covering
by the automobile industry.
Rail Orders Large.
''SiZeable releases of car roofing
sheets by the Pennsylvania Railroad
have partly Offset the decline in sheet
business from motor car builders.
Rail orders continue to cut a larger
figure. At Chicago. the Great West
ern has placed 3,40O tons of rails
and 5000 tons of track accessories
with local mills. while the Illinois
Central has ordered $4,000 tons Ct
rails from Chicago plants and 5000
tons from the Alabama producer.
The Milwaukee's purchase of 10000
tons from Chicago makers contrasts
with estimated requirements of $4,000
tons filed with the transportation CO.
ordinator last Fall.
Fabricated structural steel awards.
at 29.200 tons, are the second largest
OF the year. New structural projects
total 81 400 tons. Bids have been
taken on a pressure conduit for the
St.Louis waterworks calling for IL 900
tons Of plates.
Declines at Pittsburgh and Chi

to prosper.
For myself | have learned that
the doctrine OF Taylor and Salisbury
Is most destructive, and because OF
the hatred preached against the
small business men. Withdrew
from the United Farmers League
organization and will refuse to join
any such organization which is
based upon hatred and discomfort
1t may be true that the heads OF
this organization dad not agree with
Taylor. Salisbury and Mother
Bloor, but 1t Is only as late as last
week that any attempt has been
made TO check the forces OF dis
honor.
In his weekly letter to the Pro-
ducers News. Mr.. Alfred Ffala. dis
tdnctly c~ontradicts Taylor and Sal
isbury when he states positively
that there Is no difference in inter
ests of the small merchant and the
farmer: that they both are emitted
TO live, and that the small business
man Is not at all a devil who robs
the farmers child OF the last crust
OF bread such as has been told us
by Mother" Bloor and others.
We have come to understand
that the small busine man is oft
entimes one OF our closest neigh
bors, who grows rich but is
always respected. What better proof
does the farmer reQuire7 Ii he Is
honest enough he will admit thai
the small business man has often
hefnended him II Mr. Fala had
come out sooner with such advice
perhaps Taylor and his partners In
description would not have made so
much headway.
Anyway. II is well that even at
this late hour, Mr.. Ffala Is courage
GUS enough TO state that we are ali
here in this world to get along as
best we al without injnnng our
naighbors. and since the business
man is just as good as the farmer.
and vice-versa, there lis no room in
this county for such apostles of dis
content and disharmony- Sheridan
