What It Is There is every evidence that when congress meets next month there will be considerable log-rolling between the farm and the wage-hour bills. Both the farmer and the worker are entitled to a square deal—no more and no less—and every good citizen hopes for ultimate justice, but if sound legislation becomes a matter of bargaining the farmer, the laborer, the public and the employer are all liable to get equally gypped. Each bill should be made to stand on its own base. It should be analyzed carefully and with a view to the ultimate good of the nation rather than to any temporary advantage. The farm bill to be sponsored by the administration has not yet been presented. Therefore it is impossible to discuss it. But the wage-hour bill already has passed the senate and fs subject to analysis. . Enthusiasts condemn and praise it with such vigor that the public is likely to become confused. So that the people may be informed WHAT the bill provides, here-is a brief analysis of it: 1, It authorizes a five-man board to establish minimum ‘wages and a maximum work week for all classes of persons engaged in any specific industry. 2. It can fix a minimum wage as high as 40 cents an hour and a maximum work week as low as 40 hours. 8. It can create a standard work week for an industry but exempt certain units within the industry from application of the law. 4, Provision for exemption as to hours only is made in the cotton ginning and allied industries, and in the packing of fish, sea foods, fruits and vegetables in their raw state. Some ex- emptions also apply to co-operative dairy associations. 5. The bill applies only to interstate commerce but if a business engaged in intra-state commerce affects one engaged in inter-state commerce the law may be applied to it. That maks it apply, actually or potentially, to alnfost everyone. 6. Practically unlimited discretion is given the board in applying the act. 7. Elaborate machinery is set up for the board’s opera- tion and its decisions as to facts practically are beyond review ’ by the courts. Thus it is both a judicial and an administrative . body. 8. It can compel the attendance of witnesses at hearings, examine the books of corporations and perform similar acts in connection with all cases. 9. Under the law the average minimum wage to be paid by employers in any state is to be the WPA minimum wage for that state. 10. Provision is made for lengthening the work week if the employer pays time and a half for overtime work. These and many other provisions in the bill are highly con- troversial. Some are opposed by labor, others are favored by it. Some industrial leaders applaud, but the majority oppose it. The farmer, on the whole, can be expected to be against it. i more it is studied by the agriculturist the less it will appeal to him. want it, there is every possibility that congressmen will do some vote trading to enact both bills intolaw. That such action would benefit the nation as a whole is doubtful. One of the Dangers One of the greatest dangers arising from government par- ticipation in business affairs is illustrated by the current de- mand that the Home Owners Loan corporation reduce its inter- est rate from five to two and a half per cent. It takes no long memory to recall the condition which existed when this organization was set up. Many home owners were in danger of losing their properties and investors were fearful. This phase of the money market, along with others, was demoralized. Into this situation stepped the HOLC, making loans on 1,021,817 properties. Lenders were bailed out and the owners were given 15 years in which to pay. The fear of foreclosure ‘was, in more than a million cases, banished. Because of the nature of the business it was anticipated that a number of these persons would be unable to Pay, even on easier terms, and this has proved to be the case. A number have been foreclosed by the government. In most such cases the owner has died or has abandoned their property. A substantial number of others also have retired their debt in full, thus justifying the government confidence. But there still remain approximately a’ million persons who are debtors to the government and what more natura! than that they should attempt to share in the largesse of the federal treasury “7 having their debt reduced. It may be, as HOLC officials say, that the current move to cut the interest rate and extend the time of payment to 30 years comes from men who see the opportunity to make money by soliciting memberships from the borrowers. But the point is that if the money were owed to private persons even the dumbest individual would-know he was wasting his time, money and effort. But with the interest rate fixed by congress pressure is But if the farm bill gets caught in a jam and the farmers : ¢ Corn Reliable Producer he received an ominous warning or! what was to come. “I heard a strange crackling noise overhead,” he said, “It was so terrify- ing that I didn’t wait, but made a Cash for the nearest door. I plunged through, fell off the platform, and tumbled into the street.” Patton, taken to General hospital, was uncertain what caused the acci- dent. The first dead victim, Miss Olson, was found in the basement, buried un- der a pile of debris. First of the eye witness stories came from Miss Ruth Ehorburn. “It was horrible,” she gasped. “It happened all of a sudden.” She was from beneath the debris by firemen. Her injuries were superficial, it was believed. She sat sobbing in an ambulance. CONTINUED N. D. Board Charged With Lack of Real .
