Creating a Labor Monopoly
By GUS W. DYER

A minimum wage law would have
similar effect It isn't difficult to SUBJ
stitute machinery for low class labor.
A minimum wage law would close the
market to inferior labor in general.
and confer monopoly privilege on
the organized group that Is urging It
on Congress. Business must adjust It's
costs to the value Of that which Is OBJ
tanned from the cost
The Child Labor Amendment Is adj
vocated as child saving measure.
The assumption Is that Congress Is far
more capable of controlling and di-
recting the work activities Of children
up to eighteen years Of age than the
parents. 1t is strange that God over
looked this fact when he put children
under the direction OF their parents.
This amendment would give a polite
cal group at Washington under the
domination Of radieal labor leaders.
the power to close the door of efli-
ployment to millions under IS years
Of. age. and thus increase the power
Of the labor monopoly to make addi-
tional assessments on the millions Of
helpless consumers.
There are millions Of unframed
workers in the rural sections who are
capable of becoming efficient indus
trial workers. These workers can't
earn much at first as factory employ
ees. But. in time. they develop skill
and increase their income. This class
of labor is employed in the many
small factories that have been built In
small and rural sections within recent
years. The rapid development of these
small factories under constitutional.
industrial freedom is serious mem
ace to labor monopoly. The short week
and short day with advanced wages
together with high minimum wage
and child labor restriction would
seriously obstruct. If not absolutely
destroy. this new development in In
dustry.
What will become of the millions
who are put out of employment in the
interest of this monopoly is the unan-
swered question. The right TO work
Is among the most fundamental Of
human rights. Are millions of Atneri-
can citizens to be deprived Of this tn-
alienable right. and forced to join the
mendicant class in order that mo-
nopoly privilege may be conferred
on politically favored labor group?
II isn't strange that the Supreme
Court is regarded as out of date. The
function of the Supreme Court Is to
protect human rights and general
welfare.

has the National Leagues most
valuable player award for 1887 to add
to his record string of batting "firsts."
Muscles" did all he could to earn
the prize. He won the batting cham
pionship, led in hits, runs batted in
and doubles and tied with the Giants
Mel OFT for the home run title. Even
so he barely nosed out Gabby Hartnett
the spirited Chicago catcher, who drew
SO votes to Joe's 10.
Eight members of the Baseball
Writer'S Association made the selec-
ton. They gave Gabby more first
place nominations than Medwick, but
Muscles more than made up that
deficit with votes for second and third
place to grab the award and the Sport
ing News Trophy.
During the past season, Medwick
compiled a batting average of .374; he
