Sour Notes. Too many wary bust
ness men regard Mr.. Hopkins
speech-keynote of the entire recov-
cry campaign-not as a sincere ad-
ministration gesture but as a po-
litical buildup for Mr. Hopkins pres
idential nomination in 1910. BY pos
ing, sincerely or otherwise, as bust
ness friend he is taking the only
road now open if the administration
hopes to gain a considerable sup
port from business in the next cleo
ton.
Disregarding the possibility of in
sincerity, other financial circles
doubt the wisdom of continued u. S.
spending. Most charitable Wall
Street view is that New Deal theo-
rists are belatedly discovering the
impossibility of taxing a nation back
to good times. Least charitable
view is that of Manhattan's Guar

Cannot See What They
Are Doing to the Country

Why these smart boys cannot see
what they are doing to the country,
is question which l cannot answer.
Either they are utterly dumb or they
are promoting the organization work
for passage of the wages and hours
law. The c. l. o. certainly has
demonstrated it does not belong in
the list of real American organiza-
tons, but it still has political power.
The connection with c. l. o. agita-
ton might be traced through the
fact that the law contains provi-
sion permitting worker to sue for
damages if the employer Tin this
case the telephone company COM
pels violation of the law by forcing
overtime work.
The political phases of the situa-
ton are quite important because Of
the vast number of voters directly
affected. / do not mean to say that
Senator Herring and Representative
Harrington, both of Iowa, have intro
duced bills to exempt the local COM
panies, from purely political mo-
tives. But I suspect that the political
pressure will cause many members
of the house and the senate to favor
passage of those bills.
| have mentioned heretofore how
often the 'unelected" officials of the
government-those appointed by the
President or his subordinates-
either have ignored political history
or they know nothing about political
history. The case of the independ-
ent telephone companies is a splen-
did illustration.
Lately. the little independent steel
companies have felt the dead hand
of government through the same
law. | am not informed as to all
details of their case, but there were
A eastern independent steel compa-
MES appeared recently before the
propaganda spreading temporary

ing relief. The independent steel
companies are to the great steel
manufacturers as the little independ-
ent telephone companies are to the
Bell system. The wages and hours
law will wreck them, they told the
national economics committee which
has come to be known as the mo-
nopoly investigation.

would mean, moreover, that there

these are purely local companies.
Whatever number of exchanges are
operated in those states by the Bell
Telephone company are in addition.
But we are not concerned with the
Bell system. That outfit is big
enough to fight its own battles.

TIPS to

Would Force Companies to
Increase Their Rates

Now, | am thoroughly familiar
with the limitation of opportunities
of employment for women and girls
in the small towns. l know that the
small telephone companies employ
them as operators, or they employ
somebody not physically able to do
other types of work. The pay is
small, but it provides a comfortable
living in most cases. Perhaps, the
pay ought to be higher, but if the
pay is higher, the town and country
subscribers will have to pay more.
The reason those companies succeed
and render the valuable service that
is rendered is because they hold
down expenses and provide service
at dollar, or around that figure,
per month. One realizes better what
that rate means when a comparison
is offered of the five or six dollars
per month charged in cities.
Should the smart boys in the
wages and hours administrator get
away with their program, it would
mean that a small exchange would
have to increase the pay for opera
tors. The minimum for operators

WASHINGTON. - On President
Roosevelt's list of must legisla-
ton a year or so ago was bill
that, when it eventually became
law, was called the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1888" 1t was made
to apply to all business crossing
state lines, or to products thus man.
ufactured that went into channels OF
trade outside of the state where they
were produced 1t set certain rates
of minimum pay and established a
limitation on the number of hours
workers could continue on the job.
Everyone refers to it now as the
wages and hours law.
At the time of the appointment of
Elmer F. Andrews, as wages and
hours administrator, l discussed the
potential success or failure that lay
ahead for such a law. In looking
over my files of the time, l found
that l wrote, concerning the law,
that Mr.. Andrews can either make
or break it, by the policies he
adopts and the interpretations he
makes of the laws provisions. l
said also that he must use great
care in the selection of subordinates.
All of which leads into discussion
of a situation that has arisen re-
specting application of the law to
several industries. Generally, too,
it forces a conclusion that here is
just another law under which gov
eminent is interfering in the normal
living of people. AS usual, the peo-
pie are the victims of too much gov
eminent.
While there are several lines of
industry about which l want to write
in this analysis, the most fragrant
disagreement and the most dam
aging result, as far as | can see, is
the application of the wages and
hours law to the little known, but
widely used, small independent tele-
phone companies. / am referring
to that type of telephone company
which serves the small towns and
villages and the farmers who live
around those small, yet very essen
