States and Labor Laws
Federal Ban on Shipments Seen Effective Way to
Prevent Loss of Localities Rights.

identical objective, minimum wages
and maximum hours, can be attained
in q different way. This way con-
forms TO the formula outlined in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter "A national
wage and hour bill which will supple
ment State legislation.
Laws for Each State.
Each State can pass its own law
fixing its own standard Of minimum
wage and It's own standard of maxi
mum hours. Thereafter Congress can
pass a law making it illegal to ship
into any State goods made by labor
which is paid lower wage than the
minimum one of that State, or made
by labor working longer hours than
the maximum of the State.
This national law covering ship
ments into States would end the con-
dition which in the past has made
separate State laws impracticable. In
the past New York, for example. might
fix a minimum wage. Thereupon a
New York factory colvd move into
State having no minimum wage law
and send its products into New York
for sale as before. This the national
law would end. Any factory any
where that wishes to sell in New York
would be obliged to pay its labor the
minimum prescribed by New York.
This is an intricate subject. 1t is
not possible TO deal with all the argu-
ments for and against separate State
laws as distinguished from one ma
tional law covering all the country.
One objection sometimes made to hav-
ing separate State laws says, in effect,
that the system of State laws would
result In 43 separate standards. But
there would not be 48 separate stand
ards. The total number of differing
standards for minimum wages would
not be more than four or five, running
from perhaps $40 week in one State
to sl4 in another And the tendency
in practice would be to approximate
single standard. the highest one.
Every factory everywhere in the coun-
try would want access to the largest
market, and the largest market is in
the densely populated States, such as
New York and the New England
States. 1t is precisely these States
that would be likely to have the high
est standard of minimum wages. To-
ward this high standard all the other
States would be obliged to approx
mate.
The system of separate State laws.
with the Federal law to supplement
them and make them completely en-
forceable, would achieve the objective
of minimum wages and maximum
hours. If that objective is all that
the administration wishes, this is
way to accomplish it while preserving
State powers. There are in the ad-
ministration. of course. persons who
want Capitalization Of power at Wash
ington for centralization's sake, who
want power for powers sake. Persons
thinking this way are likely to con-
tinue to demand one national law COW
ering the whole country. But 1t is
apparent that Congress is moving
gradually in the direction Of preserv-
ing the powers of the States.

leave little to the States, for since the

late about labor in small, strictly local
industries, such as, perhaps, hotels,
restaurants, beauty shops and barber
shops-while everything else, the great
bulk of industry, would be regulated
from Washington.
This was certainly the intention Of
the original wage and hour measure
that was introduced in the recent
session of Congress and passed by the
Senate, and which will be considered
by the House in the coming special
session. Under that proposal, as orig
inally introduced, national board Of
five men sitting at Washington would
have power to dictate wages and hours
for every industry Except tiny local
ones) In every State and section. 1t
would be empowered to fix one wage
in one section, and different wage
for the same industry in another
section. 1t would be empowered to
grant exemptions, set up arbitrary
differentials and make exceptions.
Objections TO Measure.
In the time that has elapsed since
the introduction Of the original meas
ure there has arisen, in Congress and
elsewhere. realization of strong objec-
tons to it. The objections are seen
and conceded by persons who believe
thoroughly in the principle of mini
mum wages and maximum hours.
The objections include two main
forms One is the sheer difficulty in
herent in having all wages and all
hours in all parts of the United States
regulated from Washington. Gen.
Hugh johnson. speaking from his ex-
perience with N r. A., has said that
it would take 10 years for the board
to do all the things which the measure
proposed it should do.
Another objection is that States will
be deprived of all control over all in
dustry except tiny local ones. The
industries and businesses In each State
would be subject to grave hsndicaps
or even extinction dictated by the
national board at Washington.
Because of these objections to one
national law covering all industry and
one national board at Washington
with power over all industry, new
approach has gained ground. The

THERE LIS certain contempla-
tive look about people who
have lived in the Far East.
i Joseph Bsllantine, a career
diplomat, is no exception. Assistant
chief of the Far Eastern Division,
State Department he is daily called
upon TO utilize his vast experience
for the benefit of the present Far
Eastern crisis.
He smokes his pipe calmly. His
brown eyes brood introspectively.
Recommendation appear to be N
temperate hands. Born in Ahmed
nagar, India, of medical missionary
parents, Ballantine inherits philo-
sophie turn of mind, and linguistic
ability He answers questions in his
deep, slow voice, choosing his words
with discrimination, adroitly changing
the subject from prophecy to rerli-
niscences.
These have been legion in his ~
years of travel and American foreign
service. He headed for Japan in
1909, a graduate of Amherst College.
A student interpreter at the American
Embassy under the wise leadership
of the late Thomas j. O'Brien, Mr..
Ballantine learned to love the East,
learned, also, to speak the language
better than the Japanese do them
selves" as a famous Japanese states
man once said, when he presented
Ballantine to the late Ambassador
Morrow.
Consular posts have dotted his path.
The consulates at Kobe, Yokohama,
Tansui, Kolohama, Toxic, Dairen
claimed Ballantines services until he
was detailed to the London naval
conference of 1890. Facing east again,
he was appointed Consul General at
Canton and Mukden.
The first Consul General to ven-
ture into unknown territory. Ballan-
tine struck boldly forth into interior
China in 1880, as the guest of Mar
shall Ii. He travelled 500 miles by
sampan and chair, took a 'look-see"
at conditions. Evidence Of the arti-
sanship of an older order still per-
sisted. Canton itself was less mod
ern, more serenely Oriental" than
he had expected. 1t became the
spark plug of the Chinese Republics
march northward.
His "reminiscences of Japan show g.
changed picture. There were still
remains of feudal civilization when
Ballantine first arrived in Japan.
From Toxic to Yokohama then we're
only rice fields. Now factories fill
the intervening space. Japan has
leaped amazingly from an agrarian
to an industrial civilization. Cruising
taxes have taken the place of rick
shaws, modern garb the place Of
kimonos in factories, Moving pic
lures, appeasing the japanese theatre
cal thirst. are larger industry than
Hollywood. America has been the
pattern, even in Japanese modern ex-
pressions. An apartment is called
an "aparto," a department store a
"departo," modern boy "mogo,"
modern girl "mago." and so on.
Mr.. Ballantine can correlste the
changing Eastern picture. He has

foreign soil His sister and brother
