lied workers against condition
where they have to accept less
than they are really entitled to.
Unfair wages may be result OF
deliberate economic oppression, or
they may be simply a result OF
custom, which is very powerful es-
pecially in the smaller communi-
ties. The purpose of the minimum
wage is not to give anyone more
than his work is seally worth, but
only to see that he gets what any
work is worth. The laborer is
worthy of his hire.
If we tried to give workers
more income than other people
are willing to pay for the result
of their labor, we would simply
put these workers out of their
Jobs. No employer under our sys-
TEN can afford TO pay people more
than their work is really worth.
There was very vivid example
Of this in Puerto Rico where the
New Dealers tried to apply the
American minimum wage rate to
the needlework industry back in
1885. The result was to put 1OO,-
600 people out of work for 10
years and destroy the industry.
OTHER workers have an inter-
" est in a proper minimum wage
in manufacturing which completes
with workers in other states. The
product of unduly low wages
either puts the manufacturers in
other states out of business, or
forces them to reduce the wages to
their employees. This is the main
basis for action by the Federal
government.
Its power, however, is confined

In the afternoon we had our

some of that California dew,
and when the parade was over
everybody was soaked to the

that dress uniform washed any
way, After the parade everybody
got dried off and hung up their
clothes to dry and spend the

A friend came to town and TOOK
me up to see the football game
between Notre Dame and the Uni
versity of North Carolina. 1t was
a thrilling event for the first half,
with the team from the South sur
prising everyone-including Notre
Dame-by playing the touted
team to a standstill, only to go
down in the last half because of
the sheer power of the endless
Notre Dame reserves. What i'm
pressed me most-however, was
the two-platoon system in which
the whole team is replaced every
time it changes from offensive to
defensive etc. To me this isn't
football but smacks of the pro-
fessional sport. When / played,
each man, with the exception of
an occasional substitute, remained
for the whole game, on the Of
Tense as well as the defense, and
whichever team held up the best
through the long ordeal came out
the winner.

Dairying was another failure,
according to Mr. Holditch. He
reported that a small milk route
was recently started but that pro-
ducion slowly dropped off.
The Brighter Side
On the brighter side of the pic
ture, said Mr.. Holditch, are the
pasturing, corn, pigs, forestry and
poultry projects. He reported
considerable progress in pasturing
work done in the past two years,
and said that now there were
many winter pastures in Holmes
county that would enable the
owners to increase their herds of
dairy or beef cattle. He reported
that many farmers yer getting
increased crop yields through pro-
per fertilization. A better corn
crop will enable more farmers to
keep their hogs and feed them out
instead of selling them earlier, he
said.
