» COOLIDGE POINTS OUT LABOR GAINS IN AMERICA ___(Continned from First Page.) ness prosperity and the encourage- ment of religious worship. This is the general American policy which is working out with a success more complete for humanity, with its finite limitations, than was ever accom- plished anywhere else in the world. The door of opportunity swings wide open on our country. Through it, in constant flow, go those who toil America recognizes no_ aristocracy save those who work. The badge of is the sole requirement for aa- on to the ranks of our nobility These American policies should be continued. We have outlawed all artificial privilege. We have had our revolution and our reforms. I do not favor a corporation government, a bank government. a farm government or a labor government. I am for a common-sense government by all the peopl »rding to the American policy and under the American Con- stitution. I want all the people to continue to be partakers in self- government. We never had a govern- ment under our Constitution that was n put into office by the votes of the toilers. Mixing Work and Brains. Tt is only necessary to look about you to observe the practical effect of this policy. It is somewhat difficult to find men in important Government positions who did not in their begin- nings live by the work of their own hands. Of those who_sit at the Cabinet table of the Nation none born to the purple, save only born to become Amer- and nearly all in early their_living by actual manual lahor. The Secretary of Labor « from union labor ran In each important national conference in which labor is interested, labor has been represented. On several occa- this administration that practice. It was so at on mployment, on on agriculture, on the on intermittent em- ployment in construction industries, and on the great Washington con- ference for limiation of armament. The same policy prevails in the mem- bership of many of our important mmissions. The chairman of the ates Shipping Board, one of most important places of busi- s administration in the Govern- ment filled by a man who was prominent in organized labor. The St. Lawrence River, the Interstate Commerce and the United States Smployes' Compensation Commis- sions, the Vocational Education and the Railway Labor Boards, are ex- amples of this policy and are results of the open door of opportunity. Those who have been identified with toil are now and will continue to be in important plac of Government authority. The wage earners of America have been mixing their work with brains ever since the day of George Washington But the Government of the United States is not for the gratification of the people who happen to hold office. It is established to promote the gen- eral welfare of all the people. That is the American ideal. No matter how many officeholders there may be or what their origin, our institutions are a failure unless they serve all the citizens in their own homes. It is al- ways necessary to find out what ef- fect the institutions of government and society have on the wage earner in order to judge of the desirability of their continuation. Higher Living Standards. One of the outstanding features of the present day is that American wage earners are living better than at any other time in our history. They have not only retained, but ac- tually increased, the gains they made during the war. The cost of living has been hizh, but the increase in zes has been greater. Complla- tions of the Department of Labor demonstrate that the wages of an hour or a day buy more now than it ever did before. Not only are the American wage earners now receiv- ing more money, and more of the things that money will buy, for their work than any other wage earners in the world, but more than was ever before received by any com- munity of wage earners. We have here in the United States not only the best paid workers in the world, but the best paid workers that ever lived in this world. All this has been accomplished in Bpite of a general shortening of the hours of labor in the industries. The case of the iron and steel and the box board industry are particularly notable in this regard. As a direct result of President Harding’s initia- tive the iron and steel manufac- turers were brought together and an agreement was reached under which the 12-hour day and the 7-day week have been eliminated. Secretary Davis did the same for the box board workers. ‘Without Loss in Wages. Yet this has beer. done without any loss in wages. On the other hand, there has been actual gain. The De- partment of Labor statistics show that in 1924 the customary working time per week in blast furnaces has been reduced to 75 per cent of the gustomary working time per week in 1913. But earnings per hour in 1924 are more than two agd one-half times the earnings per hour in 1913! Despite the great reduction in hours, weekly earnings in this industry stand today 90 per cent above weekly earnings of 1913. In the open-hearth furnace depart- ment of the iron and steel indus- try, working hours are now only 74 per cent of the working hours of 1913. But earnings per hour are more than two and two-thirds times the earnings per hour of 1913. Earn- ings per week are 99 per cent above the weekly earnings of 1913. All other departments of the iron and steel industry have enjoyed large in- cerases in earnings per hour and per week. 1 know that figures are sometimes tiresome. But these I am quoting are so eloquent that I am sure you will pardon other illustrations. In the shoe industry regular working hours are now 11 per cent lower than in 1913, hourly wages are two and one-seventh times those of 1913, and full-time weekly earnings are 92 per cent above those of 1913. In cotton manufacturing hourly earnings are more than two and one- half times those of 1913. Working hours have been reduced 8 per cent, and wages by the week are almost two and one-third times what they were in 1913, Gain in Past Year. The figures I have quoted apply to workers in these industries, regard- less of whether they are organized or unorganized. A study of wages in organized trades shows that in 1923 the average wage per hour was two and one-ninth times that in 1913, and two and one-third times that of 1907. Taking the entire body of union men, working hours have been reduced 6 Der cent as against 1913, and 8 per cent as against 1907. But their week- 1y pay in 1923 was 99 per cent higher than in 1913, and two and one-sixth times as high as in 1907. And let it be added, the figures show that aver- age wages of organized workers in 1924 are higher than in 1923, But increased wages, in terms of money, mean little if they are entirely absorbed by higher prices of the necessaries of life. In order to know Whether an icrease in the money wage is also an increase ‘in the real wage, we must know how much the prices have advanced. On that point, I find that the cost of living of the average family, for the same standard of living, has been falling since the hiss point was reached in 1920, and \ the the erenc transportati business cyele, is now, in terms of money, only 69 per cent above the level of 1913. That is, the increase in wages has far out- run the advance in the cost of living. Real wages, as determined by the things that money wages will buy, are higher today than ever before In our history. Comparison of Wages. A moment ago I said that the Amer- ican workman is now not only better paid than he ever was before but better paid than any other workman in the world's history. I want to give one or two illustrations to show his advantage over wage earners of other countries. Some very recent figures have made it possible to com pare British and American earnings. They show that the average ritish cotton mill worker earned $7.85 per week in June this year, while the average American cotton milf worker carned $14.95. The British woolen mill operative earned $9.56 per week; the American, $26.21. The British potter earned $8.34, compared to the American potter’s 0. But once more we must inquire about the comparative buying power of money in the two countries be- fore we can be assured that the actual earnings of the American are higher than those of the British wage earner. It happens that the British govern- ment has made a study of wages and living costs in the principal cities of everal countries as of 1923. It was ound that a bricklayer in Madrid re- ceived a wage which buys only 50 per cent as much as the London bricklayer can buy with his wage. The Vienna bricklayer has a_ wage whose purchasing power is 57 per cent of that of the London brick- layer. The Berlin bricklayer's wage has 61 per cent of the buying power of the London bricklayer; while the Paris bricklayer's wage will purchase 71 per cent ag much as will the wage of the London bricklayer. Comparison With U. S. These figures show that the British workingman is easily the aristocrat of Europe. He earns much higher wages, measured in buying power, than any workingman on the contin- ent. And yet, this same British au- thority shows that the New York bricklayer earns a wage whose ef- ng power is two and three-fourths times that of the Lon- don bricklayer. In other trades and occupations the comparisons lead to similar con- clusions. Wherever you turm, the statistics of wages and living costs show that the American wage-earn- er enjoys a buying power enormously greater than that of any other wage earner in the world. We do not need to Import any | foreign economis ideas or any foreign | zovernment. We had better stick to the American brand of government, the American brand of equality, and the American brand of wages. America had better stay American. Chance for Education. These are some of the material re- sults of present American policies. We have enacted many laws to protect the health of those who are employed in the industries. Especial efforts have been made in this direction in behalf of women and children. We are attempting at the present time to secure a_constitutional amendment giving Congress jurisdiction over child labor. The efforts of the States and Nationa to provide and en- courage education have been such that it is fair to claim that any youth, no matter hom humble his circumstances, can, unaided, secure a college education by the exercise of his own efforts. We have achieved an equality of opportunity which has opened up the Avenues of a more abundant life to all the people. There are two sides to every bar- gain. It is not only human nature, but necessary to progress, that each side should desire to secure a good trade. This is the case in contracts for employment. In order to give wage earners reasonable advantages their right has been established to organize, to bargain collectively and to negotiate through their own chosen agents. The principle also of volun- tary arbitration has come to exist al- most as a right. Compulsory arbi- tration has sometimes been proposed, but to my mind it cannot be recon- ciled with the right of individual freedom. Along with the right to or- ganize goes the right to strike, which is recognized in all private employ- ment. The establishment of all these principles has no doubt been pro- ductive of industrial peace, which we are at the present time enjoying to a most unusual degree. This has been brought about by the general recog- nition that on the whole labor lead- ers are square, and on the whole em- ployers intend to be fair. When this is the case, mutual conference is the best method of adjusting differences in private industry. Of course, em- ployment affecting public safety or public necessity is not private em- ployment and requires somewhat dif- ferent treatment. In this field we have been making an interesting ex- periment in relation to railroad labor. This has no doubt been a step in ad- vance. It could probably be modified, through mutual agreement, to the benefit of all concerned. Soon after the close of the war the policy of deflation was adopted, which no doubt some thought might be used to secure a reduction in wages and the dissolution of labor organizations. This administration refused to lend itself to any such program, and at once adopted a pol- icy, which it has steadily pursued, of 'helpfulness to business, indus- try and labor. The Federal Reserve System has constantly reduced dis- count rates, business has revived and the millions who were without em- ployment have found plenty of work at an increasing rate of wages. It is my belief that this policy repre- sents one of the most important and helpful services on the part of the United States Government which was ever performed for the benefit of the wage eafners of this Nation. When almost everything else went crashing down, a change of front took place in time to save them from almost certain destruction. Laber in Capital. As a result of all these fortunate circumstances, organized labor is fast becoming one of the powers of capital In this country. Its co-op- erative enterprises and its entrance into the field of banking and invest- ment have given it not only a new power of influence, but a new point of view. It is learning the problems of enterprise and management by ac- tual experience. This again is the workin gout of the American ideal in industry, Itis the beginning of a more complete economic equality among all the people. I belleve it to be the beginning of an era of better understanding, more sympathy and more fellowship, among those who serve the common welfare through investment and management, and those Who serve as -wage earners. ‘We have yet a long way to go, but progress has begun and the way lies open to a more complete under- standing that will mark the end of industrial strife. It is my policy to continue these conditions in so far as it is possible and to continue this march of progress. ‘There are two important domestic fac- tors in this situation. One is restric- tive immigration. This has been adopted by this administration chiefly for the purpose of maintaining Ameri- can standards. It undoubtedly has a very great economic effect. We want the people who live in America, no matter what their origin, to be able to continue in the enjoyment of their present unprecedented advantages. This opportunity would certainly be de- stroyed by the tremendous influx of toreign peoples, if immigration were ’ THE EVENING not restricted. Unemployment would become a menace and there would fol- low an almost certain reduction of wages, with all the attendant distress and despair which is now suffered in 50 many parts of Europe. Our first duty is to our own people. The second important factor is that of a tariff for protection. I have already given you some examples of the wages paid in Europe. Such a scale means that goods cai be produced much cheaper there than they can here. 1f our policy of protection is to be abandoned, the goods which are now made by the wage earners of America will be made by the wage earners of Europe. Our own people will be out of employment. Our entire business system will be thrown into confusion, with the want and misery which always accompany the hard times of attempted economic readjustment. Under free trade the only way we could meet European com- petition would be by approaching the European standard of wages. 1 want to see the American standard of living maintained. We ghall not be misled by any appeal for cheap goods, if we remember that this was completely answered by President McKinley o President Harrison when he stated that cheap goods make cheap men. By restrictive immigration, by ad- equate protection, I want to prevent America from producing cheap men. Expense of Government. To these must be added economy of expenditure by the local and national Governments. There are about 24,000, 000 heads of families in the United States. It takes 5,000,000 of these working at $5 a day to pay the pres- ent cost of Governments. This gives us some idea of what public expense takes out of the productive power of the nation. No matter what any one may say about making the rich and the corporations pay the taxes, in the end they come out of the people who toil. It Is your fellow workers who are ordered to work for the Govern- ment, every time an appropriation bill is passed. The people pay the ex- pense of government, often many times over, in the increased cost of living. I want taxes to be less, that the people may have more. I am for peace and against aggTes- sive war. 1 am opposed to warlike preparations. But I am in favor of an adequate Army and Navy to In- sure our citizens against any inter- ference with domestic tranquillity at home or any imposition abroad. It is only in peaceful conditions that there is a real hope of progress. I want to have America co-operate in securing a speedy settlement of Eu- ropean difforences, and assist in financing a revival of business which would be of world-wide benefit to wage earners. I am in favor of continuing and extending the policy of covenants between nations for further disarmament and more exten- sive guarantees of permanent peace. These are some of the policies which I believe we should support, in order that our country may not fail in the character of the men and women which it produces. I want to see our institutions more and more humane. But I do not want to see any of the people cringing suppliants for the favor of the Government, when they should all be independent masters of their own destiny. I want to encourage business that it may provide profitable employment. 1 want to see jobs hunting for men, rather than men hunting for jobs. I want the factory able to consume at a fair STAR, WASHINGTO: price the products of the farm. I ‘want every individual, no matter how humble, to know that over him is the protection of public law. I want to raise the economic condition and in- crease the moral and spiritual well- being of our country. The foundation for a new era is being ily and surely lald. Whether we shall enter upon it depends upon the attitude of our fellow countrymen. I have an abiding faith in the American people. The delegation of labor leaders who visited the President were: T.

Nighthawks and Whippoorwills Great Destroyers of Insects. From the Baltimore Sun. Nighthawks and whippoorwills work chiefly at night, when most other birds are off duty, and at day- break their work is taken up by the swifts and swallows. These birds are provided with big mouths, and as they swing through the air over wide areas of country they scoop up almost unbelievable numbers of insects. Homing pigeons probably are closer to the human family than any other form of winged life. The birds have remarkable intelligence. They mate in pairs, and the female of each union has exercised her right of suf- helps her in hatching out the eggs and in caring for and feeding the||| voun, INQUIRE ABOUT OUR DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN.
