Great Increase In
State Cotton Crop

Cotton farmers of this State are
this year devoting total of $4,000
acres to this crop, $4,000 acres above
the figure for a year ago, the Fed
eral-State Crop Reporting Service
said recently.
In commenting on the estimated
increase, Crop Statistician Russell
Handy declared that the 1916 crop
is only &c per cent of the average
State cotton acreage for the years
from 1885 through 1914. Of the $780,
900 acres in cultivation in July d
year ago, 1000 acres were left in
the field.
Handy asserted that the average
abandonment of cotton in North Car
olina for the past 10 years has been
about 1.2 per cent of the crop. Should
this average hold, this State will har-
vest around $4,000 acres or close to
8 per cent more than was harvested
last season.
THE acreage of cotton in this
State has been steadily declining for
several years, and last year it reach
ed its lowest point on record" said
Handy. He pointed out that the re-
cent price advances for lint cotton
and the need for cottonseed for feed
may have induced farmers to push
up the acreage devoted to this crop.
The weather was not regarded as
favorable for cotton during the plant
ing and seed termination period.
Consequently, considerable replanting
was necessary and some cotton land
was plowed under and diverted to an
other crop.
while North Carolina shows a
cotton acreage increase of 2.5 per
cent, 8 per cent increase for the
nation is Indicated" said Handy.

WAITING FOR LOW WAGES?

YHlSRE'S ominous sound in the announce
ment of some of reactionary state Cover
nors that highway building is going to be post
poned until prices come down" Just what dC
the politicians mean by that phase? Does it mean
that they suspect the big contracting firms are
making too much by way of profits? Or that
materials prices are unreasonably high? Or that
they hope to force wages down?
1t seems strange that men of sufficient in
telligence to become governors of states should
fail to understand some of the facts of economies
one of which is: the only way ever to get wages
back to the 1888 level is to have another world
shaking depression
Ii may be that contractors profits are too
high. 1t is certainly true that there is short
age OF some types OF equipment, and that the de-
mands of private industry in its rebuilding pro-
gram must be met. But the fellow who hopes for
a general slash in prices is asking for unemploy-
ment and business disaster. That should be plain.
Yes many things were cheap in 1888 and
even through 1910. They were cheap because
wages were near or below the poverty level be-
cause businessmen were going broke. Things sold
under pressure in time of depression bring dis
tress prices. Those who buy at distress prices may
like the idea OF getting commodities at less than
their value, but that only happens when buying
power is shrinking and when jobs thinning
out.
Only when chronological improvements and
large volume and good markets and high wages
operate may we expect prices to come down reaS-
onaby But when prices are reduced through de
preston and distress, the whole economy Of the
nation suffers. If the states find ways to make
MISUNDERSTANDING cheaper and better, through the
exercise of technical and engineering skill, they
contribute to general progress and prosperity. If
however, they pinch their moneybags shrink
buying power and depIss wages, they promote
national disaster

THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE
By /. M. ORNBURN

IN these DAYS of extreme industrial strife critical
comments about labor unions are made by the
gullible public which is fed the poisonous propa
ganda of subsidized radio commentators and news
paper columnists. Every day one hears some per-
son say, "Ain't these strikes awful?" When one
asks him how he would stop worker from quit
ting his job or even group OF workers, who be-
lieve in organization, simultaneously quitting
their jobs, his usually is Congress should
pass laww The average person does not know
that Congress has made provision in almost
every labor law providing that the particular sec
tion of the BILL before it becomes statute, will
not prevent workers from quitting their jobs. In
other words, Congress has upheld the right to
strike and even now the prospective candidates
for the Presidency i'm 1913 are already declaring
that the right to strike is sacred and that union
workers shall not be denied this most powerful
economic weapon to force employers to pay decent
wages, establish reasonable working hours and
favorable working conditions.
No, slavery is not the answer Hitler, Musso-
lini, and the Japs had started the last war In
their own countries by ensaving the people even
before they commenced their aggressive warfare
on other nations. The fact in the matter is that
when workers are politically alert they can elect
or defeat any Representative or Senator in the
United States Congress who votes for any bill
that would enslave American workers.
The people who ask for such invalid measures
are fascists at heart because they do not believe
in majority rule and majority rule is the sub
stance of which democracy OF representative gov
ernment is made.
The American Federation of Labor believes
in American stitutlons for which it has fought
for sixty-five year. 1t believes that we should
have economic independence and industrial justice
freedom. The A. +. of l.. believes in higher Ameri-
can labor union standards. We realize there is nO
better way to maintain them than by buying Union
Label goods and patronizng Union services.

DENDING before Congress is bill, which i
passed would be one of the most important
steps ever taken to cure the economic ills OF tht
South This measure, introduced by Senator Claude
Pepper of Florida, would make it illegal to pay {
wage of less than 65 cents an hour to workers en-
gagged in interstate commerce..
The substandard wages paid to great ma
jority of Southern workers are the root OF the
Souths economic ills Directly they have kept 8
large proportion of the Southern population poorly
fed, poorly clothed and poorly housed. Their sec
ondary effects on the life of the South have been
even more disastrous.
They have kept the Southern farmer poor by
the market for his products They
have depressed Southern business by restricting
the purchasing power which is it's lifeblood. They
have distorted the South's economy by discourag-
ing the manufacture Of finished goods in Southern
states.
Some of the Southern delegation in Congress,
led by Senator Ellender of louisiana are oppos-
ing Senator Peppers bill. They claim to speak for
the South. Actually they speak for interests which
profit by the South's misfortune The Southern
people-and the people throughout the nation
cannot remain silent in the face of this misrepre-
sentaton, which threatens defeat of this indls-
pensabe measure. They must deluge their Senator
and Representatives with messages from both or
CARNATIONS and individuals supporting the Pepper
dill.

THERE GOES THAT TUNE. AGAIN

GAIN, and again, and yet again. That same
old stale tune, with all it's discords and flattec
notes, its completely phoney attempt at rhythm
We refer, of course, to the continuous torch
song of labor-hating Congressman about that
mythical right to work.
Listen to this chorus from Congressman Mil
ler, of Nebraska: "Mr Speaker, there is no great
er right than the right to work, for the right to
work is the right to live, but for countless num-
bers of our peoplpe today, that right is being
abridged because certain selfish labor politicians
have yen for personal power and they have
usurped powers unparalleled in the history of our
country.
1t is to be supposed that the anti-Labor Con-
gressmen, the messenger boys for the National
Association of Manufacturers, inhaled deeply,
reared up on their hind legs and smote their
chests with great gusto.
1t is necessary, from time to time, to consume
the energy required to puncture that bubble of
repeated by Miller.
First, we might ask Congressman Miller to
tell us What fright to work. he is talking about,
and where he, anyone else, has ever found
such right to exist Then, while he bounces
his attention the fact that the right to work"
does not exist anywhere on the face of the earth.
1t has never existed. 1t is not right" Perhaps
it should be, but it isn't as yet.
But there must be some sort of fright to
work.? Oh, yes, there's the right to work if there

nigh enough and under the working conditions he|
fixes. That's as far as the right exiSted-un-l

PREVENTING RAILROAD WRECKS

THERE has been disqueting increase in fatal
railroad wrecks recently-an increase that calls
for drastic and speedy remedial action. Railroad
officials are reported as blaming human careless
ness and bad weather for the increase. They say
that with traffic at record levels, careessness is
bound to creep in and no safety devices can cope
with this human failing This may be true but
there are other factors, too.
One of the factors in causing accidents is
shortage, which still exists despite the
millions of men that have been discharged from
the military forces. Many experienced railroad men
are still in the services. 1t would seem to be only
common sense that they be discharged if they
possibly can be spared, regardless of the number
of discharge points they may have. If getting men
back in railroad employment will save lives, the
sooner it is done, the better.
