SHAME INDEED

Probably the most sickening news to hit the
front pages of our daily newspapers made it's ap-
pearance last Sunday when headlines announced
the closing of many southern factories because
the officials of these firms rebelled at paying the
twenty-five cent minimum in wages demanded by
the Wage-Hour law which went in force Monday
morning
Another article stated three-quarters of a
million workers would benefit by the new floor
for wages That too, nauseatng. Not be-
cause poor downtrodden people would receive a
boost in weekly earnings, but because 100000
workers in these United States had been exploited
had been earning less than quarter of a dollar
an hour for their labor.
To union men and women used to a fine col
lective bargaining system, conditions such as
those to be read between the lines, were almost
unbelievable. Little wonder that President Duffy
was extremely alarmed at the possibility of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation furnishing
money to those who would build huge potteries
in the south
Proud America must hang her head in shame
when she is reminded that factory doors are being
closed because employers renounce law compel
ling them to pay at least twenty-five cents an hour
to employees
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1938-10-27

guide such planning. We want to know amounts
of goods and services produced, how rapidly goods
ARE distributed the standards of living of various
income levels.
We have long had data on amounts produced in
the maj industries and in agriculture, but we
have never been able to follow output through the
other stages of commerce-warehouses, whole
sale and retail sales. We need to know the volume
of sales and inventories and what wholesale and
retail dealers have on hand These factors should
be taken into consideration in planning production
each season.
The Marketing Research Division of the De-
partment of Labor is providing some excellent ma
eria on wholesale and retail sales and inventories
which should be expanded as rapidly as possible,
for it is the essential foundation for planning. The
indexes show dollar retail sales in mail order
houses, chain grocery stores, rural general mer-
chandise stores, new automobile sales, limited
price variety stores Reports are received cover
ing drugs, mems wear, shoes, women's wear. In
deXes to these fields are not yet available. Monthly
data on value of stocks in retail stores and ware
houses are now collected from retail chains in
grocery, general merchandise and variety fields.
Voluntary cooperation of employers provides
the basic data indicating they realize the value
OF the resulting ndeXeS. LABOR hopes Cnat pro-
visions will be made to expand this fundamental
service well as the supplementary and final field
the purchasing power of retail buyers.
We need to have regular information on earn
ings according to income groupings-that is, how
many families live at various income levels repre-
senting standards of living fixed by the income.
Average wages are useless for this fundamental.
Only actual earnings what people live on. We
will know then how groups are sharing in econ
omic and social progress. The information is
necessary for economic planning as we'll as for
evaluating national progress.

LABOR SPEAKS FOR AMERICA

Nazism and Fascism got little of their "need-
ngs" at the A. F. of l.. convention in Houston.
The report of the resolutions committee on these
subjects fairly sizzled President Green sent a
vigorous cablegram to London protesting against
grafton as a refuge from Nazi persecution Mat
thew Woll roasted what he rightly considered a
favor to Nazi industry by ruling of the Treas
ury.
And all of them expressed the overwhelming
sentiment of the American people.
No one has commented on it yet; but not an
American newspaper editor coumnst has de-
Czechosovakia. Some of them have laid part of
the blame on the treaty of Versailles; but none
have supported Hitler. In view of the way that
some of these publicists have condoned or in
dorsed the brutal strkebreaking tactics of re-
American employers, this is decidedly in
consistent-but it is also very important.
For it shows the instructive American response
to autocratc barbarism when the mask is off; and
the Nazis have thrown masks away. They have
revived race persecution by their savage treat
ment of the Jews. They have resorted to class
persecution by crushing all German labor move
ments with brutality that recalls the crushing of
peasant revolts in the Dark Ages. They have even
made start at religious persecution by imprson-
ing Protestant clergyman and stoning Cath
olic cardinal for not kowtowing to Nazi tactics
Not while they know their way about can
Americans be made to like or to keep still about
such things.

THE DISCOVERY THAT COUNTED

Now that Columbus Day is well over, and the
Norsemen and Welsh and Irish and others have
set forth their claims to the discovery of America
one fact often overlooked may be mentioned.
Irish navigators may have discovered America
though the evidence is not very convincing. Morse
men certainly did One Of the most amazing voy-
ages of all history, more wonderful even that of
Left the Lucky, must have been that of those
Scandinavian heroes of whom we know nothing
except what is told the inscription they left
on a glacial boulder in a marsh of Minnesota
There are only two ways they could have got
to that place Either they sailed to the southern
end of Hudson's Bay, and marched south or they
worked their way up the st. Lawrence past the
rapids, built new boat above Niagara Falls and
marched west and south from the tip of Lake Su-
perior The first alternative is by odds the more
likely; and the inscription says that they were
by natives Undoubtedly they were
killed
But the fact mentioned in the first paragraph
has nothing to do with Columbus. He may pos
sby, on his voyage to Iceland, heard legends of
these earlier trips. But the fact remains that he
made the effective discovery, the discovery that
was followed by colonization. TO him the white
nations Of this continent must and will look back
