WHY THEY. CLOSE

This question has been heard in the last two days
in comment on the wages and hours law: Why do
any of these plants shut down; why do, they not
add the extra labor cost to their products and pass
it on. to the ultimate consumer?
F That is not so easy as it might seem in, these
cases. And in some it seems, at. the moment, i'm
possible.
Take the case of saw mills in the South These
have to. compete with large concerns in the Pacific
coast region which have machinery the small south
ernr man cannot afford to buy or operate. The Pa
ciic coast concerns can turn out lumber at much
lower cost than the southern operators even at
higher wages than the southern concerns have been
paying Then, freight rate advantages allow the
Pacific coast concerns to deliver on the Atlantic
lseaboard at lower figure than the southern con-
Germs already in Atlantic coast area can do
is the old story of mass production like Ford,
Cnrysier and General Motors, small concern
even with the most expert mechanics cannot turn
out finished automobile at cost to compare with
the assembly line system of. the, big factories.
lac FEDERAL authorities may not admit these facts
put the net result is that many thousands of I'M
sked laborers in the South working in small plants
IKE saw mills are thrown out of work by the new
wages and hours law.-Greenwood, $500 Index

Another report appears in the press to the effect
that the Mexican government has contracted with
American citizens for the refining and sale of its
surplus oil production. This time, as the story
goes, the intending purchaser plans to market the
resulting products in the United States.
If such contract has been signed and if serious
effort is made to carry it out the country will
have before it an astounding spectacle The United
States would thus be made a "fence" for the dis

ownership, in the very moment that our state de-

Next to none.
How effectively our government can act against
the Cardenas program may be more or less de-
batable., The Wall Street Journal believes there
are effective lines of action at its command But
in any case Washington need not stand helpless
while American citizens assist Mexico to rob other
American citizens, and thumb her nose at Mr.. Hull.
