that a man with less fight and
fortitude than Cochrane possessed
probably would have died.
Aside from baseball, Cochrane's
great interest in life is his stock

Baseball men about town were
reluctant to discuss the possible
developments Of this injury. Coch-
rane at best is lost to the Tigers
for the remainder of the season.
He may never play another game
of ball.
It was Just a year ago at this
time that Cochrane was stricken
with a thyroid condition that kept
him out Of action in all but A

THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from page One)

expressed himself vigorously in IA
vor Of such an amendment just BE-
fore the new Congress began its
session. As Mr.. Robinson is the
leader of the Senate majority his
utterances carry considerable
weight.
There is a strong feeling, how
ever hat it would be well to post
pone the protracted debate which
the proposal for such an amend
ment would precipitate, and try to
accomplish the desired objective,
by other means.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyon-
ing has announced that he will
push his bill for a Federal incorpo.
ration law, which would put every
corporation doing an interstate
business under direct Federal con-
troll, enabling the authorities at
Washington to prescribe the con-
ditions under which corporation
might operate, including working
hours and wages.

RECORD SHORT TERM

One Senator who was elected
last November does not sit in the
new Congress, because his term ex-
pired on the day Congress met, He
is Guy V. Howard of Minnesota.
When Senator Schall died last
summer, Gov. Olson appointed
Elmer A. Benson as Senator until
the next election. Ernest Lundeen
ran for the six year term begin
ming January 5 and was elected.
But nobody took any steps to
provide a Senator for the two
months between election day, ex-
cept Mr.. Howard. He filed a petit
ton with Minnesota's secretary of
State, at the last minute which got
him a place on the November bal
lot. He was elected by 100000
majority for the shortest elective
Senatorial term in history. Mr..
Howard will draw $1,666.67 and
some requisites for mileage and
clerk-hire for the two months he
was a United States Senator. AL
though he never sat in the Senate
Chamber he is Ex-senator Howard.

POPULATION DATA
(1930 Census)
HOW MUCH IS

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
presses the opinion that industry
can never reach capacity produc-
ton until every man who is willing
to work is employed, and every
family has at least $500 a year to
live on. Granting that those are
desirable detectives, one wonders
whether Mr.. Green has not fallen
into the common error of confus-
ing the yardstick with the goods.
Thirty-six hundred dollars a
year-roughly SIS week is
about three times tie average wage
in American business and industry
today. But who is goirg to guaran-
tee that, if the time ever comes
when nobody earns less than that,
it will buy three times as much of
the necessities and luxuries of life?
The dollar of today will not buy
as much food, clothing Or shelter
as the dollar Of ten or even five
yesrs ago did. 1t is not many years
since 50 a day was regarded as high
wages, and men lived and brught
I'D families on $18 a week.
The real measure Of wages is,
or ought to be, what the wage will
buy, regardless Of its size in dollars.
Values depend upon the amount
and cost of the labor which goes
into the making and merchandising
of commodities. When you increase
that cost, the value rises and the
higher wage will buy no more than
the old low wage used to buy.
Nh. Green's $500 a year looks
big in the light of present values,
but how big would it look if val
ues were based upon every worker
getting SIS a week?

M. STRIKE GOES ON

Detroit-To Sunday night nego-
tiations for setting the strikes that
have closed General Motors plants
in IS cities were halted by refusal
of the Automobile Workers Of
America to withdraw "sit down"
strikers from the plants without
written guarantees that no efforts
would be made to operate the plant
or remove equipment while negotia
lions were in progress. Gov. Frank
Murphy expressed hope that the
way had bfen cleared for further
parley by statements of attitude on
both sides.

the ground and the load tied on
them was the Indians nearest ap-
proach of a vehicle.
One reason the wheel was one of
the latest of mans inventions is
that he first had to invent tools
with which to make wheels. Prob
ably the first wheels were roller
like cross-sections of tree trunks.
Our world Of today literally
runs on wheels. Practically all in
dustry would stop if wheels ceased
to turn. To deliberately stop the
wheels of industry would, in our
opinion, check mankind's advance
and delay the day when the pro-
duction of wealth will be 50 great
that every human beings every
need can be supplied.
