NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CONTRACTING MR.. JACKSON

In his invectve against monopolies, Assistant
Attorney General Jackson sought to put the steel
industry on the spot by the charge that the IN
crease in steel prices was far greater than neces-
sary to offset the increase in wages.
His charge is not formally denied in statement
bv the American Iron and Steel Institute. The as
sertion that steel prices have increased out of line
with increased wages and other costs and that the
housing program and other uses of ST. Ell are being
discouraged by unreasonable price le'els, it says
sis not in accordance with the facts
Widely quoted statements have been made that
tho axtent of wage increases in the steel industry
in the past year only 10 per cent, wnle prices
have advanced 81 per cent. Wages in the steel IN
dustry were increased in November, 1886, and
again in March, 1887. These two wage advances
amounted to approximately 81 per cent They hit
ed the hourly earning of steel wage earners 10 the
highest level in the history of the industry more
than 80 per cent over the average IN I9z9. wage
advances are far from being the only cause Oh
higher costs. Prices for steel have increased Du'
available statistics show that these advances nave
been almost completely Offset by higher costs not
only of labor, but also of materials, texes ana
other expenses"
DESPITE Mr. Jacksons assertions, there is good
reason to believe that in these recent steel wage
increases the country has witnessed an effort TO
push wages above the level justified by the current
productive efficiency of the industry necesltatng
a passing on of increased labor costs to the con-
suming public in the form of higher prices Yet
by far the sounder policy and process from the
standpoint of furthering economic progress and IN
creasing wealth is to bring about, as first condl-
ton for increasing wages, advances in productive
efficiency so that labor may gain more for its et-
forts without taking it's advance out of the pockets
of the consumer-Greenville News

Mr.. CULLEN RINGS A BULLsEYE

Robert CULLEN (hs editorial articles appear on
this mage of the News and Courier six times
week. gives telling description of the New Deal
blunders:
"In fertile valley where the farmers work
early and late the fields and orchards yield abun-
dainty the cattle are fat and the barns are hlled
Everybody prospers. If, them the valley is invaded
by devouring locusts, cattle tick, hoof and mouth
disease, corn borers fruit flies scale and rust, IS
an expert needed to explain why the farmers pros
per no more?
If the United States "can scarcely avoid prosper
ing, when free of artificial burdens and handicaps,
isn't it obvious that the way to make it prosper
is to relieve it of hurtful things and let it get back
to normal?"
There is no gainsaying that Mr.. CULLEN has rung
a bullseye in thes gentle phrases The devourlng
locusts cattle ticks corn borers and fruit flies to
which he alludes are the political meddlers who
have been braking the natural movement toward
recovery The artificial burdens and handcaps'
are the many taxes the federal government is col
lecting from Tom, Dick and Harry, and their Sis
tiers and nleces.
In the face of obstacles planted by politicians
the country has done well. In Washington is no
Midas touch. On the contrary, the power to tax IS
the power to destroy and this destroying touch
has been laid upon all the land. Government IS
without power to Danish poverty but 1t has prodl-
gious power to produce poverty among citizens
who have been going forward because of their
thrift and industry. It is unfortunate for the
masses of Americans that Washington has non
ehalanty squandered the national wealth.
AS Mr.. CULLEN says this is land rich in nat
ural resources, land peopled by men and women
who are eager to get ahead and the country
should prosper as naturally as a healthy tree
grows" Nor tree nor nation can prosper when
whitening blight attacks it. Sing high sing low,
political blight has come upor the forty eight
states in this Union. So far the trunk has with
stood, but limbs, branches and boughs are sick

A HUMAN ATTITUDE

Testifyng before the Byrnes unemployment
committee in Washington, Robert E. Henry of
Greenville, president of the American Cotton Man
ufaeturers association, said of the textile industry:
at is important to note that the reduced opera
tons indicated have not resulted in equal percent
age of jobs lost or unemployment. In most eases
employees are not laid off. The employment of the
individual continues but upon reduced basis as
to the number of hours per week actually worked.
1t is custom of long standing in this industry
that when it is necessary to reduce production this
is done by running all the machinery fewer days
in the week month, or shorter days, in order to
share the work and enable all the employees to
share in the payroll. And so when mill is operat-
ing at say 70 per cent of its usual performance
the employees still have opportunity of making
70 per cent of their usual weekly wage.
ut is not intended to state here that there are
absolutely no exceptions to this custom but any
exceptions extremely unusual. This share the
work method is not as economical as that OF shut
ting an entire section of the MILL and its lack OF
economy has recently been increased by reason OF
the social security taxes but it is the humane thing
to do
at is not intended here to criticize any who
may do otherwise"
These facts as cited by Mr.. Henry are well
known in Greenvle and other southern textile
centers and they constitute one of the Unset trlo-
utes that could be paid the industry.
1t Is one of a number of things that Waiter
Davenport in his unfair Golfers attack managed
to overlook.-Greenvile Piedmont.

Espousal Of the wage-hour bill
in such southern state as Ala
bama had been considered to
mean political suicide. Alabama
is agricultural and its labor unions
predominantly A. f. of l..
Wage-hour enthusiasts believe
Hills victory can be used to
change some southern votes.
Some congressman say they
found during the holidays that
although local A. F. Of L. union
leaders had obeyed President
William Green's instructions TO
wire protests against the bill, the
bulk of union members appear =
favor wage-hour law.
FOR the first time, bets are now
being laid that Assistant At
torney General jackson will be
the next governor of New York.
Postmaster General Jim Farley
has told friends that he would
not be candidate, although
Roosevelt would have supported
him. Farley needs to make money,
he says. .
1t is reported that Farley, who
is chairman of the New York
state as we'll as the national
Democratic committee, would pre-
fer to have Senator Robert F.
Wagner run. But it is practically
certain, first, that neither Farley
nor Wagner will stand in the way
if Roosevelt tells them he wants
Jackson, and. second, that RooSe-

PATIENTS VS.. PATIENCE:

Even an ethically-toned physician
at times becomes so eXasperated
that patience is lost over trifling,
delinquent patients, and he dares
break down ethical barriers and
use a little black type to tell his
woes.
Listen to this from the Nor
canton News Herald, quarter
page in size and signed by IA
NJ. DIS:
l. All accounts of one year or
more will be placed on what we
know as black list.
2. All of these names will be
given to each doctor in the coun-
ty.
4. The doctors have unanimous
ly agreed to refuse professional
service to the said delinquents
until satisfactory arrangements
have been made with the doctor
who has rendered such names to
the society.
4. The doctors have further
agreed to make all obstetrical
cases cash.
5. Emergency cases will be
given proper consideration.
6. Charity cases, which we do
not feel disposed to care for, will
be recommended to the county
physician.
7. All the patients on delin-
quent list are cordially invited to
call and talk over their accounts
with the doctor they owe.
8. The doctors have decided
that one year is long enough for
bill to stand without some eff
fort being made to compensate
them for their services.
8. The doctors do not wish to
impose hardship upon the peo-
pie of the county and they do not
think that a hardship should be
imposed upon them.
10. We fear that our delin-
quents do not realize the incon-
venience you put on us by not
making us safe for our services
rendered.
IL. This action will go into eff
feet in four weeks after the date

plugging grimly to get another

AS the administration also
moves to get action on a measure

considerably morc hopeful than it
seemed after the House had

all set for a drive to get out an
other bill and then, if the House

on it, to start again on the task of
obtaining 2l8 signatures to force
the bill to a vote.
Holiday blasts by Assistant At

President Roosevelt's fight to
establish a floor for wages and a
ceiling for hours, sounds very
good in some ways, but why MAKE
it compulsory when there would
be so many small business enter
prises that could not operate I'M
der the plan.
Such laws run contrary TO ones
fundamental American principles
and are not in line with our views
of liberty of action. Under such
wage and hour bill you may
work 40 or A hours a week as
the case may be.
But beyond that no employer
of labor can use you unless he
pays a heavy penalty in the form
of time-and-half-time wage for
such over time. Naturally he is
not going to do this.
What is this going to mean to
you? Suppose you have a steady
job at which you work the allot-
ted 40 or al hours in one week
and are paid SIG or $40 for that
weeks work. It's up to you to
get along on that SIG or $40 a
week, if you hwave worked your
quota of hours.

that you can't work extra time
nowhere, any place, to get add;
