WAGES AND HOURS

.EAGES AND HOUhS
TO the Editor:
A great hue and cry is abroad in
The land against the wage and hour
law. 1t is reported that the men who
make thousands of dollars each year
out of the tobacco crop are telling
the farmers this law prevents them
from paying more for tobacco because
they are, by this law, forced to pay
more for their workers. That should
be nothing new to the farmer for
every year the big tobacco companies
have some excuse for taking the crop
al a starvation price. And another
reason for the howl against this great
humanitarian law is to down Mr..
Roosevelt who the rich know, seeks
to give the producing class a chance
% live as we in this country should.
And the sadest thing about this howl
ing of the wealthy, is that many farm
ers are gullible enough to swallow
hook, sinker and cork all they tell
them. They seem never to realize the

An earlier marketing season than

To the producer the season should
be as favorable as in 1887, he pre-
dicted. The turkey crop will be about
81 per cent larger than last year and
the birds are expected to be heavier
than then, due to abundant supplies

HENDERSON, IN CO. DAILY DISPATCH TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 49, 1888

truth, that the money man is only
trying to keep. things as they are in
oruer that he may continue to get his.
The wage-hour law and all similor
laws the New Deal has brought us are
a benefit to our country and especial
ly to the great producing class. This
law may prevent the rich from add
ing to their millions, which they do
not need, as fast as formerly, but it
will give the workers more pay for
their labor which they will spend for
the many things they so much need.
Give those who work fair and just
wage for their labor and we will hear
no more about too much cotton, to-
bacco or any of the other commodities
WEI produce. l doubt if this country
with all it's machines and improved
methods of farming could produce
what we would consume if the wealth
of the country was properly and just
ly distributed.
Because all the money is in the
hands of about one tenth of the peo-
pie, fifty million are living now as
paupers, and the condition of fifty
million more is but little better, which
makes one hundred million Of our fell
low citizens existing below decent
American standard of living. Brief
ly, that is the condition of our coun-
-ry today for which the rich want now
20 spend billions to protect their
wealth from a foreign foe, which may
DE alright for them, but it seems to
me it would be far better to give the
hundred million referred to above,
something to fight to protect rather
than spend so much of the proceeds
of their labor for guns and other war
trappings. These people are humans,
and you cannot expect them to fight
loskeep a nation out who might pro-
pose giving them fair pay for their
labor in order that they may have
good LIVING conditions.
Following is IN editorial in the
Washington News of Nov. 10TH, which
hits the nail on the head about al.
the censure we hear of the Wage
Hour bill.
"Hully-Gully, How Many?"
when the Federal Wage-tiour Act
became effective. one of the first to
descend on Washington with a loud
squawk was a spokesman for the
pecan-shelling industry, who said he
had no alternative but to fire several
thousand pecan shelters until his in
dustry was exempted from the law.
The other day another man from
the pecan country visited Washing
ton. He was Everett L. Looney, char
man of the Texas State Industria!
Commission-and he c4rried with him
some interesting statistics.
The average pecan worker in San
Antonio, he said, earns approximately
five cents an hour, or $3.50 a week
Yet, Mr.. Looney said, the industry's
Spokesman" aforementioned. has re-
ceived for the list several years an
annual sa.ary OF twelve THOUSAND
dollars, and over the last eight years,
drew down additional profits o. over
eight hundred thousand dollars"
Mr.. Looney said he thought that the
pecan indus ny will find it poSib.e to
ply the 25-cen -s-anhour m nimua
which the .aw requires. 1t does seem
that the spokesman" might hare a.
little.''

He didn't mind. He liked the
company now. It got his mind
away from Peaches Pomeroy and
her actions. At least, he thought it
would.
But it didn't.
He kept comparing her with the
ideal of her that had formed previ-
ously in his mind. He tried to bring
the two images together, to
straighten them out and make one
pretty one, much as modern cam
eras are focused to make one sharp
image Of two hazy ones. The mat
ter occupied him as he walked

DR.. HOlgate was not interested
in a professional discussion. He
made excuse to go away, declining
to play tennis.
The hurt of the previous night
had come back to him. He had
tried to be generous in judging
Peaches Pomeroy. He had felt him
self rather acutely in love with
her. The pain of finding her i'm
perfect-despite her physical ap-
pearance-Was indeed singing. It |
had hurt doubly to have other fac

personal interest, add to the in
formation he himself had gathered.
He walked from the mems ten
mis- courts across the wide green
pasture toward the bayou, the
ornamental stream that
separates the dorrnitory area from
the athletic field house and sta
dunn. He sat on the bank of the

from the huge trees there; all the
ground growth was lush. The place
