High Wages and Farm Prices
Objected to by West Virginian.

To the Editor of The Star:
Much has been said about the danger
of currency imitation as the result Of
people having too much money to spend.
But it is a poor rule which does not
work both ways; so, instead of needing
the continuous urgings of John L.. Lewis
and others for higher wages, let the
NLRB start campaign for lowering
wages in mine, mill and factory which
already are much TOO high.
II the farmers are getting prices
which are too high, let a readiustment
be made; and this goes also for excess
profits by manufacturers.
TIE general public is becoming tired
OF the continual seesaWing of the de-
mands of the labor and farm groups
and gladly would welcome the ousting of
the congressional labor lobbyists and
the farm bloc.
Quite a respectable number of our
citizens have fixed incomes without off,
set against rising prices, and millions
of store employees, office employees, school
Just as hard as do the industrial laborers
do not have highly paid union SPELL
binders to advance their personal in
tereStS
Also what about the millions Of draf-
tees who have to leave their families
and businesses and face the dangers
of the battle fronts? Can any one give
a valid reason why the civilian workers
at home should be treated as privileged
class with all the home comforts and
much higher pay?
Those who instigate or threaten
strikes in these times. as we'll as those
who blindly follow them must be set
down AS unpatriotic citizens

An attempt TO improve War

Tallman blamed sewer con-

said he had dropped the idea of
