RETAIL PRICES WILL SOAR
IF WAGNER BILL PASSES

Consumers will be called upon to
pay a new penalty If the Wagner
labor bill is enacted by Congress,
according to observers who have
calculated the effects of this pro-
posed measure. -.'s
And farmers, although they are
exempted under the bill from hav-
ing to submit, like manufacturers,
to every labor organizer. and agita-
tor who comes along, will be hard
est hit of all classes because they
will be squeezed between mounting
retail prices of manufactured goods
and the depressing influence Of la
Dor strife upon raw materials, in
Guiding crops. 49,. ~,
Industrial workers are demanding
a 30-hour week, and some have set
"a hours a week as the maximum,
all without any reduction In pay.
With the Wagner bill as a weapon
with which to organize every in
dustrial plant in the country, they
undoubtedly would win the 80 or "a
hour week. 1t is a simple matter of
arithmetic to reach the conclusion
that owners of industry would be
forced to meet the increased costs
of production by increasing the
sales prices of their products and
hammering down the prices Of raw
materials-cotton, wool, wheat. to-
bacco, and every other commodity
entering into manufactured or pro-
cessed products.
The question quickly resolves it,
self into one of whether farmers
and other consumers can support
industrial workers who, under the
Wagner bill. would be organized in
powerful trade unions, determined
to enforce high wages and short
hours.
Chief attention has been centered /
upon the widely-debated question of
the Wagner bill would
promote industrial warfare or in
peace: There is evidence. of
a deliberate campaign to cover up |
the fact that, regardless of what the
bill might do in the. field of indus
try. the farmers and other consum-
ers not employed as industrial wor-
kers would be forced to foot the
bill. 49,. -,... .'....-..-,

But every boy and girl should be

If the Republicans follow through
on the Constitutional Liberalism"
announcement of their National
Committee in electing a new chair
man, 1t will place a number of lead
ing Democrats In a strange position
The g. o. p. statement was
patterned closely after recent words
Of such Senators as Glass and
Byrd of Virginia, Tydings of Mary
hand, and others conceivably
IL might be the beginning of new
party alignments unless President
Roosevelt chooses to accept the
guidance of some of the Democratic
leaders who believe reforms are
necessary but that they can be ac-
complished without straining the
Constitution and without the radi-
cal ideas of the young coliegian
group.
President Roosevelt played a Gag
ey game as he jockeyed for the adj
journment of Congress and for en-
actment of the Wagner Labor Dis
putes bill at the same time
never has there been such a deluge
of protests roll into Congress from
the country as there were against
the prO-uniOn Wagner bill. many of
the letters coming from the farm
country and leading publishers = .
Congress would have adjourned by
June/9 If Congressional leaders had
had their way.
Steel leaders who discussed the
strike situation with the President
during the time it was in the threat
ening stage had one particularly
strong position they contended
that If protection were provided
against rioting and strong-arming
of men who wanted to work that
there would be enough men go out
on strike to affect operation
this was borne out in a poll of the
Weir plant where only a handful
voted for the strike.
Several factors initiate toward
adjournment of Congress = first,
the scaling downward of business
recently was attributed by sound
heads within the Administration to
uncertainty industry will not
go forward when new laws which
might upset their commitments
hang in the way second, this
is one of the most important cleo
tion years in some time. and Con-
gressmen can't get reelected sitting
in Washington voting on controver-
sial legislation while their oppO-

ness of Congressional halls with

Washington Snapshots

The final days of Congress are
witnessing the most extreme attack
on the Roosevelt program that It
has faced.
With the MIRA the particular TO-
cal point, opponents of regimenta-
ton and governmental control from
Washington are hammering away
at the AAA and other agencies as
well. The Bankhead act to dictate
cotton planting has stirred the
wrath of many farmers who APP
proved the plan in it's infancy be-
cause of misunderstanding.
Confronted by this situation, the
Administration is determined to adj
journ Congress as soon as possible,
both to avoid legislation to which
the leaders are opposed and to pre-
vent a coalition that might wreck
some of their own legislation. Con-
gress provides sounding board for
criticism and from all sides this
has been coming, opposing further
Capitalization Of governmental con-
troll.

and gave a varied program
while the reception and break
fast were in progress.
The young bride, whose
beauty has an exotic quality,
was escorted and later given in
marriage by her father. She
wore a Schiaparelli blue crepe
gown, made on very chic lines,
with a long tunic. The high
neckline in the front was
cut low at the back; and
the long, full sleeves were
caught in at the wrists. Her
pointed train was faced with
the same color. A corsage
bouquet of white roses and val
ley lilies was worn high on her
left shoulder.
Miss Katherine Pearson,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Viii.
liam E. Pearson, who attended
the bride as maid of honor,
wore a gown of the new shade
black tulip-which is just off
American beauty. It was mod
elled on long, straight lines,
with dolman sleeves lined with
American beauty crepe, and
three poppies of the brighter
color finishing the bodice at
the neckline.
The bridesmaid, Miss Betsy
Ann Simpson, sister of the
bride, chose a peacock green
crepe model with long full
sleeves, with 9 ruffle trimming
around the neck which extended
down the back of the dress to
the hem. Both of the attend
ants wore corsage bouquets OF
gardenias.

good horses always, and who

association for over so years,
