It is the most cunning vehicle aimed to destroy
the American capital system and the principle

One IncOnsistency
ALTHOUGH new regulations have not yet

ness affected by its terms must make readjust-

The size of the business, the amount Of profits
the number of its employees do not enter the queS-

are 200 or 1000 employees in retail or service

hshed, the Wage and Hour law does not cover it.

from 100 in June to 1877 in July. This increase
was general and included domestic as well as
foreign orders
Despite a normal decrease in July factory
employment in New York State increased. So
did factory pay rolls which continue to gain
relatively to employment. This is one Of the most
positive and definite indications Of cyclical re-
covery that one could desire.
The Governments adjusted index of depart
ment store sales also gained appreciably.
July building permits were the largest in seven
years, and they jumped from only about 80 per
cent Of normal in June to about 55 per cent
last month
I will add that clear signs Of cyclical turn
around have been apparent in the iron and steel
industry for some time. Blast furnace activity
gained distinctly last month.

feel that eight years is enough" Many farmers

That is the date when the
Wage-and-Hour Law goes into
effect.
Grandiloquently d csc r ibed
by Mr.. Roosevelt as a humani-
tartan scheme to put a floor
beneath wages" and a ceiling
above working hours" so as to
bring "the more-abundant

Vate business baron.

Political HunlOr

THERE is no question but what
L Hopkins has moved into the
righthand spot since the purge
got rough. You may recall him
as the man who earlier threat
ened to fire any WPA official
who got mixed up in politics.
And, as a measure of the Seri-
BUSINESS of that threat, you may
also recall he investigated his
WPA officials in Kentucky and
found them to be purer than the
driven snow.
He and Tom Corcoran, Of
RFC, are supposed to have prac.
tically q power Of attorney to
run the purge show backStage.
At least competent insiders have
come to that conclusion from
the things they have seen. Hop
kins has been dealing directly
with other Government officials
here on purge matters. Entry
Of Fay in the purge move against
O'Conror is being directly at
tributed to him. Corcoran, you
may recall, is the White House
political engineer whose sense Of
political humor is equalled only
by Hopkins. Corcoran, who
merely keeps an office in RFC
as a front for activities which
are purely political, engineered
the firing of an anti-purge RFC
attorney in Atlanta on the
grounds Of political activity.
NOTE-White House author
~ tiles have been explaining
the day and night presence Of
Hopkins at the Presidents side
on friendly grounds. Hopkins
wife died recently. He is alone.
And the President likes his child
very much. However, no ex-
PLANTATION has yet been offered
as to why Farley has not been
around lately.

Minimum Cement Wage
THE GOVERNMENT has been
l. working for a week on an
announcement fixing minimum
wages in the cement industry.
The purchase board conducted
an investigation with a view to
denying Government contracts
to any firm which pays less than
the amount to be fixed.
Effect will be to fix arbitrarily
a wage for the entire industry
as no one in cement can afford
to be out on Government con-
tracts.

gress apparently is no red her

are concerned, than having our Chief Executive
back up the man he thinks is best fitted to take

There simply is no use talking. When man
