If his unsupported story is correct.
Amerigo Vespucci, 45-year-old Flor
entine, sailed on his first voyage
across the Atlantic, AL years ago
ago today. That was year earlier
than the first sight of the mainland
of North or South America by Co
lumbus or Cabot, and when later he
gave this date and told his story, they
made it appear he was the discover
er of the new continent. That was
why Martin Waldeseemuller, German
guographer, suggested that the New
World be named America.
There is plenty of evidence that
Columbus and Cabot were deprived
of having their names associated
with the name of the new continent
by fraud. Records indicate the earl

age across the Atlantic was in 1899
with Alonzo de Ojeda, who followed
in the track of the third voyage of
Columbus.
Very few men could write in Yes
puccis day. He could, and he had a
retentive memory for the stories of
sailors who had made voyages to the
lands across the Atlantic which Co.
lumbus had thought were part of
Asia. Consequently Vespucci's adven-
turous accounts attracted wide at

ant farmers What was mighty poor
pay in the north was good pay, ac-
cording to their standards.
Stewards Explanation. ~''.
Thus the textile industry began to
shift in a southerly direction.
The north, drained in this fashion
did not like it. NHs -
The migrating textile industrialists
soon found that southern Lei or, tho
ugh cheaper, was not as efficient as
the northern quality. Naturally. 1t
was not as experienced And, not SO
we'll paid, it was less ambitious.
So the industrial chieftains began
introducing speed-up systems in their
southern mills. Their notion was to
get northern production from THEN
southern plants at much less than
northern wages. They have not been
altogether unsuccessful in doing it
either, though at the cost of consider
able ill-feeling among labor.
Hours.
The upshot was the demand for
wage-hour legislation.
A demand for reasonable hours is
as justifiable as demand for fair
pay
I myself have held newspaper jobs
at what I considered tolerable pay
but at what l regarded as in-humal
hours. They talk about 40 to Al hours
weekly. Why, have been worked at
the rate of 80 hours weekly.
Hours are almost more importan
than wages.
Flat Minimum Fair?
But to get back to northern-versus-
southern differentials.
Labor has wanted a flat wage mini

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today-Austrian Of
fensive on the italian Paive front
ended, a failure. 1t had been success
full in it's first stages. Then Italian
counter-attacks, bolstered by British
and French support, cancelled the
earlier gains, and caused Austrians to
retreat in disorder.
Germans attacked American lines
in the Woevre, at the villages of Xiv
ray and Marvoisin, held by the 26th
Division, and % Yanks were killed
and 154 wounded. The men were
members of 1O3rd Machine Gun Bat
talon and 103rd Infantry.
Next day. American casualties to
date were announced by the War De-
partment as: killed in action: 881 /;
died of wounds: 1854; lost at sea: 291 !;
died of disease: 1924; died of acci-
dent and other causes: 422. Total
wounded 4,547. Missing and pris-
oners 346.

mum for the entire country. 1t sounds
fair. But is it?
If the same wage is decreed for the
north and south alike, southern in
dustry which is not as efficient as
northern industry (and there is no
use in arguing about it, for the South
admits it) will fold up, and southern
industrial wage earners will have to
go iack to their tenant farms and
get out of the industrial picture. They
cannot compete with the north on
even terms, and they know and, in
effect, say so.
Boards Created
The wage-hour law, to be sure, Gre
ates boards to adjust differentials.
But these boards are industrial, not
sectional.
That is to say, the steel board can
ton, tobacco, rayon, etc.,, but it can
not adjust as between New England
and Dixie.
And regional adjustments are the
ones which need to be adjusted.
Basic Wage.
The laws basic wage is 25 cents
hourly anywhere. That is low enough.
But, as the years pass, it goes up
to 40 cents. Thus there may need to
be local readjustments, and the law
does not provide Tor them.
Without them there must be sec.
tional unemployment.
Industries Hit
What industries especially are af-
ected?
Well
Cotton textiles, rayon, tobacco, coal,
petroleum refining, ice manufacture,
Tor instance.
