The producers of cotton, corn and oats, wocl, hides, sugar and food- stuffs generally are getting no more for their labor than before the war. Among the principal items of ex- pense to them is clothing. They produce the raw material for it, but under th¢ modern system of indus- try sell it and buy it back in the form of garmerits, paying the trans- portation charges, mill-werkers, garment-workers and all middle men by supplying food and raw materials to everybody. All of the people who have a part in the conversion of wool, cotton cannot be sold, and they ia is out ‘of bal: 4 ccovery will come as the balance is restored and cannot come otherwise. It is greatly to the credit of the wage-carners as_a class that the process of readjustment has pro- ceeded with as little friction as has Deen the case thus far. Generally there hag’been willingness to make concessions. It is not advisable that the movement should be unduly pressed. * It is better to take more time, although delay means that the losses are greater, for the wage- earncrs are entitled to know why lower wages are necessary. They are.interested in having the neces- sary readjustments made in order that industry may be on a basis that e likely to rise. . Already the farmers are organizing for the purpose of curtailing the production of agri- cultural products. The cotton crop this year will be 25 per- cent below the average amount required under normal conditions to meet the de- mand. Plans are being developed to curtail the production of food- stuffs. These policies are justified by theé combinations of wage-earners and others to maintain wages and the prices of town-made products at an unfair level above farm products. The whole system of restriction is wrong and in the end defeats the purposc in view of bettering living conditions for those who practice it. When everybody practices it the result is poorer living conditions for all.; The best results will be ob- And you will find how much more satisfaction a little of this Real Tobacco gives you than you ever got from a big chew of the ordinary kind.
