Pronouncements ef that kind have been appearing with great fre- quency for a long time, but it has always turned out that the law was working where the observers were not looking and in ways they did not understand. It may be suppressed for a time in one place, but itvis like water on its way to the sea, it gets there eventu- ally, no matter how much its course may be hindered. The committee report to the executive council of the Federation of Labor contains the following: , “The law of supply and demand has jong since ceased to function in wage fixing, except under ex- ceptional conditions, and the most acute suffering from arbitrary imposition of unscientific wage the- ories is found in industries where there is no organ- ization of the workers, and where the voicesof the employer constitutes final authority from whi&h there is no appeal.” These views come quite naturally from men who are engaged constantly in contentions over money wages, and who are judged as successful or not ac- cording to the wage rates they are able to win. They are so close to wage rates that they see nothing else, but wage rates are not all of the wage question. The fact is that there never was a clearer demonstration of the impossibility of defeating the law of supply ané demand than is afforded by the high wage rates and high state of undmployment existing in this country today. m The committee takes no account of the necessity for balanced relations between the industries or of the purchasing power of money wages, and unfortu nately that has been true of many labor leaders in the present situation. The labor organizations have developed great power, largely by the aif and sym pathy of the public, but they are using it in this crisis for obstructive purposes—to prevent the natural re- adjustments between the industries that are necessary to afford full employment for their own members. They are making the price of everything into which their labor enters so high that millions.of consumers are unable to buy. They think they are defeating the law of supply and demand by maintaining wage rates, failing to see that the law is having its way in the actual volume of wage payments. More than one- half of the people of this country have suffered heavy reductions in their incomes and common sense should tell that they cannot buy as much of the products of other workers unless the prices of such products come down to correspond with their own. With such staples as flour, sugar, coffee, rice, meats and butter much be- low the prices of last year, lihevai wage reductions can be made without reducing the standard of living, and they would accomplish still further reductions in the cost of living. It is evident that the balance must, be restored before general prosperity can be Tegnne ——————— GETTING CLOSER TOGETHER. “Three facts are of *zemendous importance to all mining men,” says Mining Congress Journal: “(1) It is asserted that the western states hold the largest coal deposits in the world. “(2) It is practically conceded that the western states have the richest oil fields in the world. “(3) Oil men and coal men from the eastern and central states and coal, oil and metal mining opera- tors met at the Chicago convention of the American Mining Congress and manifested an unwonted inter- est in each other’s welfare. “It was not always thus. Gold, silver and copper producers who concerned themselves but little with af- fairs east of the Mississippi were mot unknown in for- mer years, while coal producers rarely thought of of- fering assistance to or expecting co-operation from anybody 7rom the Rocky mountains or the deserts or the plains. The minerals produced in the different eerors were so entirely unlike that operators from the east and the west proceeded on the basis that they had nothing in common and at times even permitted the impression to grow that their interests were natu- rally conflicting. Those who clung to this view ac- complished nothing for the mining industry as a whole and very little for themselves. " “But all of this has changed. The last decade has seen all branches of the mining industry come closer and closer together. Concerted action has brought benefits in proportion to the added strength which unity of purpose always gives.

If he has the psychology of the small town, if he is Main Street in political hfe, then an American small town is not lacking in vision and its Main Street, whatever it lacks in architectural splendor, is a highway of sig- nificance. rt “Mr. Harding is disclosing himself as possessed of both ideals and common sense. He sees his goal clea‘ ty, but also sees the obstacles to attaining it. He has the precious gift of patience. He is satisfied to make haste slowly, the way of nature and of man—is not discouraged because it is impossible for mankind to wing itself > blessedness with the swiftness of a modern fly chine. “During 1 ear’s presidential campaign the presi- dent was criticized because of the alleged vagueness of his utterances. He had voted twice for this coun- try to enter the league of nations. The insistent in- terrogatory wrs addressed to him as to whether his opinion had rJtered. He would not exactly say, and indefinitely spoke of an association of nations as al), possible substitute. His enemies attacked this as mere- ly a political trick to hold the support of different Kinds of Republicans. “But it is now revealed that as far back as last De- cember President Harding» had clearly grasped the idea whose establishment is the first essential to world harmony. This idea, it is hardly necessary to say, is the union, as trustees of peacey of the five great pow- con- t t' n ers which possess power and at the same time good] dic and uscless. ' : mean .

Public opinion was not prepared to support an|‘ntry' simply requiring that the understanding among the responsible nations—per- haps it would take a long time to educate it. But in the meantime he saw it would help to have the five powers function in concert. The backbiting in which the British and the French are now indulging may be rated a great grief to the White House. But it has faith that such a silly fire will soon burn itself out. “Into the great scheme of the president everything duly fits. He would have periodic conferences, for through them the nations can learn to work together. Moreover, he remembers that the late war perkaps would have been averted if a conference of the “fa- tions could have been held. ‘The provision for aato- atic periodic meetings was one of the good sections the half-baked covenant, and Mr. Harding wisely | + s it. An invitation to Germany to participate in world cuncils to the extent of accepting the fundamental ecisione also fits into the plan. A league of five will not be against any nations—will be for the principles te ouses, and the door to outside acquiescence must always open, In time, when Germany and Russia have become civilized, the league will become one of ven. and then a league of cight, when China finds Mest remarkable is the progress made by Presi- ‘ent Harding since last March. The unfoldment of his policy has been most impressive. And the end is not yet.” A ae he TRESS UNITED WE WIN, “The report from Washington that the international joint commission will follow the favorable report of the investigating engineers,” says the Chicago Trib- une, “and recommend to congress the construction of the St. Lawrence seaway will bring inspiration of new hope for the future to virtually every farmer, manu- facturer, and business man throughout the middle west. Such recommendation must be followed by constructive action. When accomplished the improve- ment will mean a greater and more certain measure of independence and prosperity for the great middle west, and indirectly for the nation, than it has ever known. “But simultaneously with the announcement that this recommendation for a great material aid to our prosperity*is imminent come indications of concerted efforts to defeat our hopes and purposes by dividing our support of the projected seaway. If the eighteen middle western states which are pledged to the sup- port of the St. Lawrence seaway, and the thousands of farmers and business men who have made these states great, allow themselves to be divided by insid- ious propaganda, the goal which now appears within reach will be removed for years if not forever. “Representative Mead of Buffalo, one of the men opposed to the seaway because without it his city can continue to take toll of vast quantities of middle west- ern produce, reveals the subtle plan to defeat the pur- poses and ambitions of the great heart of the coun- try. ‘It will be opposed by two other propositions,’ he ‘The first is a plan for an all-American ship provides everything ‘that an enlarged ship canal would.’ “The purpose is plain. Tt is to get middle western congressmen and others to fighting about the relative merits of ghe various plans; to confuse them; to pre- vent adoption of any definite constructive program, and to leave us where we now are, forced to ship through the bottle neck of the port of New York. That purpose must be defeated. “The all-American ship canal has been repeatedly suggested, investigated and rejected by competent en- gineers for many years. The only possible route is long and tortuous, expensive to build, difficult to main- tain, and costly to operate. The New York barge canal would require, as it now does, transshipment of all Great Lakes freight to barges at Buffalo and from barges at New York, with consequent expense and de- lay, and an increase rather than a decrease of con- ; gestion at the port of New York. Neither suggestion would give what the middle west requires, a direct contact between all Great Lakes ports and the mar- kets of the world by means of ocean going vessels which could load a cargo of grain at Duluth, Mil- waukee, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, or Cleveland and carry it without a stop to Liverpool. | “To prevent such confusion and division, and to as- | Sure ourselves of the prize for which we have been | working for years, and which now appears within reach, we must unite more closely than ever before. State legislatures, farmers’ organizations, chambers of merce, manufacturers’ associations, civic organ- izations, newspapers large and small, and every pos- | sible medium for the formulation and expression of | public opinion and the bringing of influence upon con-| gress must unite and work to the one end—construc- tion of the St, Lawrence seaway as urged by eighteen d approved by government engineer: true objectiv are of. 4 fered ey en Slow Process of Designating tape associated with the administra- serts Will Reid, formerly register whic where it can be found outside of pub- als should be restored to entry, as zaod purpose—the land simply \eing fepealed.”* Smugglers Are al, and the other that the New York barge canal | Lands Prevents Many From Coming Here, Former Register Declares.
