SUGAR INDUSTRY
REPORTS Large
DROP IN COSTS

Washington, D. c. CRY I'm the
sugar industry, preliminary figures
issued by the census of manufactures
show that between 1887 and 1889 the
total wage bill fell off relatively to
the average number of workers en-
ployed in manufacturing, but that the
value productivity Of these workers
increased nearly 40 per cent
Beet and cane-sugar manufacture,
cane-sugar refining:
Wage earners average per year,,
1899, 2S,760; 1887, 27,611; increase,
1887, 80, 4.2%.
Wages, 1889, s31,131: 1887, $30,086;
increase, 1898, $3.50.
Value added by manufacture, 1889,
s151,449; 1887, s1O8,S07 increase,
1879, 1920.
The cane-sugar refining branch of
this industry, for example, shows
wages rising only 1.4@e, costs of ma
terials, etc, falling off 1927, value of
products dropping $50, while value
added by manufacture rose 476%.
In the sugar beet industry. apply
ing the total wage bill for the year to
the average number of workers en-
ployed, we find that wages per worker
dropped $3.50. while value added by
manufacture per worker jumped
1872.

ing that the bill, If passed, would have
reduced the taxes Of the Western Life
Insurance Company by several thou
sands of dollars, Senator Peterson and
others opposed it, but were not sue
cessful in defeating it. The Governor
however vetoed it, so the insurance
company and it's handy men in the
house failed to "get away with it."
Doctors Bill"
The bill creating a state board of
medical examiners to take the place
of the present board and one which
would have allowed the use of cadav-
ers in anatomical studies was vetoed
Tuesday, by the governor. In his
veto message, the governor alluded to
the use of cadavers, as follows:
Further, l cannot subscribe to the
practice of giving the board of exam
liners unlimited authority for the dis
posal of bodies of the unfortunates
who may die while inmates of our
custodial institutions, whose relatives
or friends may reside without the
state 1t is possible that in many
cases these relatives or friends would
not learn of the death for weeks, only
then to discover that the body had
been delivered to some institution of
learning or to a hospital school Of
nursing"

pied British transport, it is impossi
Bile to say
The British cost of living in July
1910 was about 21%o higher than in
October 1888 Wage rates in the same
period rose about 11% Earnings,
however, increased considerably fast
er than rates of wages because of the
increase in the workweek up to 80
hours in extreme instances.
Earnings of machinists in iron and
steel foundries were 1870 higher in
July 1910 than in October 1898; in
electrical manufacturing 426 higher;
in shipyards, $3.50 higher; and in con-
struction, 1920 higher Earnings in
the war industries therefore rose
faster than living costs, because the
workers spent much longer hours on
the job.
The reverse situation appeared else
where. Earnings in blast furnace and
woodworking rose 17%o; food indus
tries 14%, clothing industries 1870,
and paper and printing industries,
only 396-in the face of a 2195 rise
in living costs.
British workers have Jared very diff
ferently in the race between prices
and earnings Some groups have i'm
proved their conditions by long hours
and 7-day weeks. In other cases, liv-
ing costs have risen far more steeply
than earnings.
About 100000 workers were COW
cred in this investigation. Since the
study was made there has been a
further rise of to 79o in prices,
reduction in hours worked and some
wage increases.
War has brought physical hardship
to millions all over Europe. Quite ir-
respective of bomb damage to prop
erty and life, war costs are taken out
of the living standards of great Sec
tons of each population.
The greater the war effort, the
heavier the reduction in the standard
of living. Whatever advantages war
may bring to the rich and powerful
are more than offset by the hardships |
and suffering inflicted on the great |
majority of people in the warning |
countries.

have to give way"
CLIO Sec. James B. Carey spoke fol-
labor in the discussion period. When
Pres. Edward A. O'Neal of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation charged
that high wages for labor hurt farm
ers by increasing the cost of goods
Carey retorted:
That's just a lot of nonsense La
Dor is the biggest customer of the
farmer. Wages of labor still are far
too low"
The way for farmers and workers
to raise their standard of living, Carey
pointed out, is to organize and work
together. Workers would buy sur
plus farm products if they could, he
said. The high cost of distributing
goods is one reason workers and farm
ers have not achieved higher stand
ard of living, Carey commended.
Sec. Delos L. James of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce agricultural
department complained: 1--WE are
threatened with a trend toward the
government taking over and operating
all business. Some day we will wake
up and find that there are no more
corporations running things, but the
government will do 1t all.
Carey quipped in answer:
Labor used to stand on soapbox
and berate the government-but now
there isn't any room for labor. Bust
ness has the whole soapbox."

ing some 500 negro and white girls
such as the Miami Laundry and City
Laundry, the hourly scale is as low
as lac and the workweek as high as

Union (AFL) has thus far been un.
successful in attempts to organize the
laundries.
The clerk In Miami's summary look
ing shops and the girl at an office

much less than a paradise. The shop

stenographers and typists get as low
as So a week Overtime pay is un-
known
In the small restaurants, girls lured
to Miami by its climate are some
times paid nothing. They get room,
board and few nickel tips.
"The main difficulty in trying to
organize the hotels, stores and offices
has been the large number of unem-
ployed during the off season." said
Sec.-Treas. Walter Hoyt of the Flori-
da State Federation of Labor. He
estimated that from April to Dec.
1, Miami has $4,000 jobless out Of
SIS, 900 workers. From 1000 to 5000
Miamians alone are thrown out of
work when the winter season ends,
he said. Hoyt said similar conditions
prevail in Palm Beach and other Flori-
Ia resorts.
Local labor leaders agree that Flor
da's most urgent need is labor legis-
alton. At present there is not a
single labor law In the state. A little
Wagner act was passed by the legis-
ature two years ago but was vetoed
~ Gov. Fred Cone. AT this years
session the state federation is again
for labor legislation.

TIME 1t is not practical to give dates
for each of the twelve books from which
passages in this lesson are taken. Broad.
ly we would say that the first refer
ence to the Holy Spirit occurs in the
time of creation. The promise of the
Spirit is in the days of the Prophets.
Our Lord Himself, when on earth, con-
tinually spoke of the work and power
of the Holy Spirit, who Himself desceded
at Pentecost, who powerfully manifested
Himself in later events in the Early
Church, and whose deeper work is I'M
filded for us in the Epistles of Paul
written before AID. Ga or 65.
PLACE Most of our Lords words con-
corning the Holy Spirit were spoken in
Jerusalem, on Thursday of Holy Week
The Holy Spirit fell upon the new-birn
church in the City of Jerusalem, and
here later, the same piles were filled
again by the Spirit of God. Cornelius
and his household lived in Caesarea
The interview of the Apostle Paul with
the disciples of John the Baptist took
place in Ephesus.
John 35 Jesus answered. Verify,
verify, I say unto thee, Except one be
born of water and the Sprit he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God.
g. That which is born of the flesh
is flesh; and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit.
Z. Marvel not that said unto thee.
Ye must be born anew.
8. The wind bloweth where it will
and thou heasest the voice thereof, but
krowest not whence it cometh, and
whittier it goeth: so is every one that
is horn of the Spirit.
Acts 1:S But ye shall receive power,
when the Holy Spirit is come upon you.
and we shall be my witnesses both in
jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Romans 8:26. And in like manner the
Spirit also helpeth our infirmty: for
we know not how to pray as we ought;
but the Spirit himself maketh interces-
sion for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered;
q. And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit
because he maketh intercession for the
saints according to the VII of God.
g. And we know that to them thai
love God all things work together fol
good, even to them that are called &C.
cording to his purpose.
Galatians 6:22 But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

such there is no law
