Helping the Good Employer
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Accepting Paul Malon's invitation to answer back Isadore Lubin United States commissioner of labor statistics makes impressive plea for the new wage and hour act He sees it as a measure aimed not to regiment" industry, as some of it's critics assert but rather to protect both labor and capital and create situation in which the ideals of the better rather than those of the worst en- ployers shall prevail"
 As a member of the administration Commissioner Lubns views may fairly be considered in some de- gree ex parte Yet few men in America are more familiar with the facts of the American industrial picture.
 It is this knowledge which leads him sharply to challenge the laissez-fare theory that in the race for economic supremacy "those who most effectively meet our needs will always come out on top"
 The theory is fine; the practice is sometimes very different. Says Lubin:
 All too frequently the honors-profits go to those who can take the greatest advantage of their fellow men. By cutting wages compelling labor to work long hours. many producer has not only weathered economic storms, but has actually profited from them"
 The inevitable result of this sort of competition is that "the employer of high standards is forced by interruptions competitors to adopt policies detri- mental to his workers"
 An easy answer to the Lubin indictment is to claim that doubtless there has been much sweating of labor in the past but that such evils have been largely corrected thanks to the pressure of union ism and corrective legislation. Unfortunately this is not wholly true. very few years ago the Ohio Consumers League found millinery shops in Ceve- land which paid weekly wages as low at $2 or s to girls striving to be decently self-spportng When the death of MIRA lifted restrictions on child labor the employment of very young children leaped 150 percent
 Some may not share Commissioner Lubins confi- dence in the effectiveness of the wage and hour act speedily to end these evils but there is no denying the seriousness of the facts he presents the sound of the idea which he sees as dominating present
  of private business shall interfere with the welfare of the nation as whole"
