more wages" to employees who
will then put the money "in cir
culation," thus creating purchas-
ing power. This, of course, Is
cockeyed economics, and is re.
sponsible for the long period OF
abnormal unemployment which
has afflicted this nation.
y y
PARADOX OF PLENTY
The point which would stress
today, however, is that the wages
and hours act is bound to increase
that condition of maladjuStment
which we sometimes describe as
"the paradox Of plenty" This Is
illustrated by the cotton farmers
plight. At the same time that
the President complains that a
third of the people are ill-clothed.
there Is a great surplus Of cotton.
We find want in the midst OF
plenty.
And this condition is mainly
due to the Governments price
fixing policy, which has lost South
ern farmers their world markets
and kept all of us from buying as
many shirts as we otherwise might
do.
REASON FOR LACK OF JOBS
It's exactly the same with labor.
BY raising wages per hour, we keep
labor hours down. By making it
more costly to employ labor. we
keep laborerS unemployed.
Mr.. Andrews alleges that unel1-
ployment was the main cause Vt
the bill he now has to enforce,
saying: Millions IF unemployed
have been competing for the few
available jobs" But why, Mr.. An
drewS, are the available jobs so
few?
I will tell you. It is because
the New Deal Administration has
made it unprofitable to employ
many laborers. In the same way
that it has pegged cotton prices
by holding" millions Of bales in
idle storage, it has held millions
of laborerS IN idleneSs by its
wages and hours policies.
x&k
THE WAY TO DO IT
Don't misunderstood me. When
low cotton prices bring adjust
ment between supply and demand.
cotton prices will rise. Just so.
wages could and should be as high
as the productivity Of labor allows.
And collective bargaining, together
with the rules Of the competitive
game, should be so regulated that
the highest wages which are eco
nomicaIly possible will be paid.
Liberal provision should be
made for the relief Of those who
are necessarily unemployed.
But the only way to make en-
ployment abundant 1t to let wages
be governed by market condi-
tionS.
II we want to stamp out certain
Sweat-shop conditions, we should
do it directly by defining and pro.
hibiting those conditions, not by
fixing general minimum wages.
TO BRING IMITATION
One big joker in the wages-and
hours deal Is the fact that it Il
only money wages which are regu
lated. The minimum is to bC
25-4O cents per hour.
Wen, IN a year OF two, we art
likely to see prices double. Ther
40 cents will buy no more thar
20 cents do nowi Initiation vii
quickly nullify the law.
And don't forget this: T7al
"Srnart" New Dealers know this
They are deliberately planning i
that way. The scheme Is that EN-
ployers will be given the extri
money required to pay highe
money wages per hour.
This viii be done by, initiation
and higher prices for products
Then when Me. Laborer come
around with his greater "purchas
ing" (more cents per hour. tn
employer win have to charge hin
higher prices for all the goods h
buys.
In this case. more cents don
make sense.

LARGE Audience.

Washington society was we'll repre-
sented last evening at the first of the
seasons orchestral concerts, which the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra,
Eugene Ormandy. conductor, gave
in Constitution Hall. However, the
audience did not look like a typical
gathering for the Philadelphia or
chestra, for the apparel worn varied
from street and business costumes
to formal evening dress. There
were doll hats" perched at gravity
defying angles on coiffures both high
and low, and there also were tweed
hats la Robin Hood with long quills.
Perhaps the predominance of street
costumes was due to the difficulty al
ways Of finding taxi at the close of
q concert. Unless one leaves before the
close of the program it is we'll nigh
impossible to find transportation COM
Portable for evening clothes.

.RACKET'S BANK
GUARDED FROM
LUCKY BETTORS

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.SO.
Abadabba Berman knew a little
about mathematics, a whole lot
about horses, pari-mutuel ma
chimes and policy and, until the
day he was rubbed out, it was
Abadabba Berman who kept the
Schultz bank" from being broken
by lucky hits.
All bets of so cents or more, &C
cording to testimony at the Hines
trial, were segregated by the eX-
pert clerical staff of the bank"
and the numbers being played by
the bettorS listed. These were
phoned to Abadabba who was the
Handicapped for the gang and who
had managed to connect himself
with half dozen racetracks.
With the numbers before him,
Abadabba would study the pari-
mutuel figures as they stood. Ap-
ply his self-taught mathematics
and guage what the final figures
were likely to be. If it appeared
probable that the final figures
would be a number being heavily
played that day by a sizeable group
of the half-dollar-or- over bettors,
Abadabba the expert Handicapped,
would place a few bets which If
successful would bring total fig
ures on which a mild payoff
would result instead Of a heavy
hit.
The system was easy. How he
applied it was Abadabba's own par
ticular skill in judging horseflesh,
bettors and probable mathemat.
ical results.
And Abadabba stopped applying
it on the day when the gangste1
guns which rubbed out Dutch
Schultz also removed the mathe
matician Handicapped of the
