There is grave question, however, as to whether the strikes now sweeping all parts of the land are not the beginning of a process which will kill the goose which lays the golden payroll egg. The le Robinson te ment te tay tobe delayed untl after the present session of Congress, when- ever that may be. Roosevel Capitol Hill that the issue be drop- . Whether or not Roosevelt, in if The point of it all is that, even though the number of organized workers is growing apace, the number of unorganized workers still constitutes a huge majority. Every time an em- ployer has to advance wages for the organized group it dimin- ishes the prospect of the unorganized workers winning recogni- tion. Union men, working in closed shops, have long been termed the “princes” of American labor.. Under the old A. F. of L. regime they showed little interest in what happened to others. But now the ranks of the organized are being expanded and the effect, at least for the present, is to lay the load of inequality upon the shoulders of the unorganized. Even if all the industrial workers were organized there still fs the farmer. Political talk about a unity of interest between him and the laboring man is sheer bunkum. The farmer is a capitalist and an individual enterpriser. His real interest lies in buying manufactured goods as cheaply as he can and in getting as much as he can for the products of the soil. He Hal 2 And 80, you may be sure, do many of his Democratic opponents—includ- ing some presidential aspirants in the gains nothing by rising prices for manufactured products unless a. prices of farm products go up in proportion. What America should seek is national balance, a situation |° in which EVERY laborer is properly compensated, in which capital receives honest security and a fair return on its money end in which management takes its fair share but no more. Instead of that we have a rapidly growing psychology that all one need do is to organize to force wages up and thereby insure prosperity. What advocates of this idea fail to see is that they are contributing to a vicious circle which, carried far enough, will result in disaster. i When wages get ao high that goods soar out of reach, the public will stop buying. And when the public stops buying the volume of work will be reduced. Employers have been guilty of excesses when they had the chance. The current situation proves that working men and their leaders are just as prone to overstep when they have the opportunity. Labor in Germany One hears so much about conditions in Germany and the bffect of the Nazi labor policy upon the populace that it is re- freshing to get an apparently unbiased report made by an American agency, ra Since 1938 the total of unemployed has dropped from 6,- end. To many conservatives this sug- Gests @ dangerous form of egomania. But it’s Roosevelt. 00,000 to 1,000,000; wage rates have been kept stable but the ts purchasing power of an hour of work has dropped because of rising prices;-in some industries longer working hours have enabled some laborers to hold even; the income of many German | ‘2 Workers is inadequate to meet their requirements and these usually receive some state support, usually “in kind”; con- sumption of basic commodities has increased because of a larger total Jabor income; workers who had full-time employment in 1982 ate worse off now than they were then but the position of millions who were then unemployed has been markedly kmproved. This would seem to indicate that the economic condition in Germany is not as bad as has usually been pictured. It isn't Very encouraging but it could be worse. The Ideal Farm House Women who live on farms, too often under surroundings fwhich ‘are not wholly pleasant, doubtless dream of the home which would be theirs if they could afford to follow their Hesires, i __ The kind of home this would be was recently ascertained by the National Lumber Manufacturers “association through the process of asking farm women what they would like to have. The result, of course, is something pretty fine. They want 8 house that is well-built and with plenty of room. It would be equipped with running water and sewage facilities, a bath tub and a kitchen, as modern as any city woman’s. There would be suitable concrete sidewalks and recreation areas around the home and inside there would be a laundry, sewing room, break- fast room and plenty of storage space. - Pertaining stricly to farm considerations are such things as a milk-room and a separate room for the hired man, In short, the farm woman wants about the same things as her city sister. And may Heaven speed the day when she can have them, ¢ 1 Hard to Understand It 4s a little difficult to understand just what went on the other day at the Ford plant in Detroit when a group, described as workmen, pursued and assaulted a group of union organizers. The pertinent question is whether they were workers em- ployed fn the plant who just naturally became enraged at the prospedt of union‘intérference or whether they were hired plug- nglies, hasigned to the task of driving agitators away.
