Steel has come down in price more
than it did in 1888, even with the bait
then of a big order of rails. 1t is
just possible that some of these cap
tains of industry are beginning to
learn something. But Secretary Ickes
won't believe that until he sees a drop
in cement.

is better off economically than the rest
of the world.
A recent study shows that the U.
S. contains only six per cent of the
worlds area and seven per cent of
worlds population. Yet America con-
sumes 4S per cent of the worlds coffee,
SO per cent of it's tin, Sc per cent of it's
rubber, 81 per cent of it's sugar and 72
per cent of its silk.
Sixty per cent of the worlds tele-
phones are operated in the U. S., and
so per cent of the worlds motor cars
are owned here.
America produces 70 per cent of the
worlds oil, 60 per cent of its wheat
and cotton.
With more than $11 billion in gold
this country possesses nearly half OF
the worlds monetary metal.
The purchasing power of the Am
erican people is greater than that OF
500,000,000 Europeans and many
times larger than that of more thar
a billion Asiatics.

to heed. Quite likely with the rail
roads attempt to slash wages in
mind the Federation warns particu-
larly against wage reductions by some
large industry which might be the
beginning of disastrous movement.
ct is clear" the Federation says,
"that an increase in industrial pro-
duction is the nations chief economic
need; equally clear that production
cannot increase if buying is cut away.
With rising production unit costs will
be reduced; the danger of widespread
wage cutting will fade out as business
improves.
But there is still the possibility
that some industry employing a large
number Of workers might cut wages
and start off a series of wage cuts
throughout industry. If this hap
pens it would have so strong a defla-
tionary effect as to offset the begin
nings of improvement and start busi-
ness into further decline"

Louis krebs
Attends Furniture Mart

Swedish modern is the latest trend
in home furnishings, according to
advance word received by the Geo.
Krebs Sons here, from the American
Furniture Mart, Chicago, where the
national home furnishings show
opened July 5.
New designs shown by some $50
manufacturers whose national display
rooms are concetrated at the American
Furniture Mart, show the result of
intelligent effort in styling, it is re-
vealed, with pleasing balance and
good proportion making the new fur
niture the most attractive and COM
Portable ever produced.
Making the trip to the market is
Mr.. Lou Krebs who is attending the
Mart in Chicago this week. Last week
he was in Kalamazoo Michigan.
"We expect to study this style
trend very carefully" Mr. Krebs con-
tinued, "and if we feel it is ready for
a permanent place in the style picture,
we shall include it in our stock"

BETTER SIX MONTHS LATE
THAN NEVER

The cut in prices of steel may mean
that steel masters have learned some
thing; and may not. But it is a pretty
sure demonstration that if they have
learned anything, they have come to
their new knowledge after everybody
else who paid attention to the mat
ter had learned the lesson by heart.
The A. F. of L. showed uneasiness
and alarm at the boost in steel prices
year ago. Secretary Ickes has de-
nounced the fixed, inflexible prices
of steel and other durable goods many
times. Robert H. Jackson, then AS
sistant Attorney General, and Leon
Henderson, economist for the WA,
pleaded strongly for cuts in steel
prices as winter came on.
1t is better to be six months late
than never. But this country never
will be free from depressions while
steel barons and other industrial
magnates have the power and the
stupidity to close their plants rather
than shade their prices.

NO Time TO CUT
WAGES, AZ OF |
SURVEY SAYS

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).
The American Federation of Labor
monthly survey of business gives a
much needed Kindergarten lesson to
business on the value of high wages.
After reciting the terrific unemploy-
ment it says:
Fortunately for business, however,
the wage level has been firmly held,
and there have been almost no wage
cuts except in cases of actual distress,
or among those few employers who
pretend distress to impose unjustifi-
able wage reductions
Higher Pay Lifting Force"
"The higher wage level brought
about by increases in the first nine
months Of last year has been basic
lifting force and has unquestionably
shortened the period of business re-
cession.
"The fact that workers total in
come in spite of increased unemploy-
ment, has been only 8 per cent be-
low last year has made it possible
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-07-15

for retail stores, wholesalers and Jop-
bers to sell off the large inventories
of goods they accumulated last year.
Business observers agree that these
large inventories have been cniei
cause of the drastic cuts in produc-
tion and the decline OF business
generally"
"Situation Still Critical.
The survey closes with the PLAIN
warning:
"The situation is still critical and
it will probably be some time before
the government spending program
lifts industry definitely to higher
levels. UNION RESISTANCE 10
WAGE CUTS is ESPECIALLY IN
PORTANT; union insistence on wage
increases wherever industry can pay
them is equally vital.
This is time for union coopefa-
tion to save costs"

PROFITS OUT OF PoIsoNs

The New York State Labor De-
partment has uncovered another of
those devices which produce industrial
profits at the price of human sick
ness. It is called the ''fused collar, ;"
really, a non-wilting collar, that does
not require any starch But to get
this substance into the collar it was
necessary to use "monomethyl ether
of ethylene glycol;" which is a poi
son that gives bad results when form
ing only Is parts to million parts
Of air.
Two boys, one with only a months
work at the factory, were 50 sick and
doped that they could scarcely under
stand what was said to them. One
man had not fully recovered after
years respite
The last question that too many
business men ask about new
scheme is whether it Is dangerous to
the workers. A cracking fine for the
use of dangerous substances, or, bet
ter still, stiff jail sentence for dam
aging anyone's health with such stuff
would tend to breed little more hui
name attitude.

Hwv Where with our

This is tribute to the good sense

World War days when every strange

Kaiser's pay
Those were the days when almost

TORTURE QUIZ
REOPENED HERE

While the case Of Joseph John
son, colored, who charged he was
treated in an inhumane manner
while being questioned by police
in connection with a robbery, may
be closed by the police, 1t Is not
over so far as Edward P. Lovett,
attorney for the prisoner, Is con-
cerned, so Lovett declared today.
Lovett said he understood Capt.
Ira Keck, of police headquarters,
had made an investigation Of the
charge and had marked the case
closed" However, he said he ex-
pected to go even deeper into the
matter and as first step would
have a conference with Capt. Keck
and Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, today.
Major Brown expressed himself
satisfied with the report OF Lieut..
Joseph Shimon, head Of the
pickup squad, in whose room John
son was questioned, and was now
awaiting a detailed report from
Johnson, who claimed police kept
him awake for 48 hours while ques-
tioning him.
Keck said last night his own In
vestigation of the charges was
closed, and added he had no ap-
pointment with Lovett.

BOOTLEG RACKET
VioIators Will Fail to
Get Licenses

Plans to purge the District boot
leggers and retailers who supply
them with hard liquor are being
pushed by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
A special squad Of police has
been watching a number Of res
taurants and licensed liquor estab-
iShmentS for some time, George
w, Offutt, chairman, announced
yesterday following an executive
session Of the board.
MANY COMPLAINTS
Offutt said that many COM
plants have been received that
"clip joints" have been selling
whisky by the drink after hours
and on Sundays. Restaurant op-
orators seeking to obey the regula-
tions have also reported sale Of
beer after the 2 a. m. closing hour
at several lunchroomS where the
"selling Of food has now become
o Sideline," Offutt stated.
While court action has not been
planned against these places, &C.
cordtng to the ABC chairman, The
axe will be welded with firmness
when the violatorS apply for re.
newal of licenses next February.
MAIN TROUBLE
most of the bootlegging trou.
bic comes from liquor stores sell
ing whiskey to men known to
be bootleggerS," Offutt con-
tinued. These men take the
liquor to their joints and sell it
by the drink principally after
hours and on Sundays"

Tho usual practice Of town governments
as we'll as Of industrial enterprises, is
to allow two woek vacations. Tho fact
that Groonbelt is closely assoc lated with

presents, in general, the most advanced

In fact Counc Imam Morris on moved that

seconded by Mr.. Boss omer. However it was

which finally included Mr.. Bossomer, that
