THE ORACLE. LABOR IS BIG BUSINESS In an illuminating editorial appearing in the United States News, David Law- rence recently pointed out that labor fixes pricé—yet is, éxempt from the anti-trust laws. That situation, at a time when the government is bringing anti-trust actions against many large industries, should be thoroughly understood by the American people. Mr. Lawrence cites the recent coal wage agreement as an example of wage price-fixing. The mine owners had to raise the price of coal to compensate. That led to higher steel prices, which in turn led to higher, prices for an innumerable list of commodities. In addition, the railroads’ fuel bill was heavily increased—which is the reason, in part, for their having to ask higher rail rates which, when grant- ed, will give prices another upward nudge. The argument that wages are not a major influénce on prices was proven absurd long: ago. In the coal industry, 97 per cent of all income is paid out in wages. In textiles, 91 per cent goes to la- bor. In machinery and other metal products, 89 per cent is required to meet the payroll. So it goes, down the line. La- bor, by both direct and indirect means, can fix prices more surely than any al- leged industrial combination in restraint of trade, ° Mr. Lawrence writes: ‘Congress should ...: legislate to include labor unions with other monopolies and prohibit all combinations that fix prices and pre- vent natural competition.” Organized la- bor is one of the biggest of big businesses these days, with monopolistic powers sec- ond only to government. In the name of the national welfare, it should be treated precisely as is all other business.. “CONFIDENTIAL” “Confidential sources,” quoted a French newspaper, assert that the Rus- sians exploded a small atomic bomb deep in Siberia on June 15. The trouble with “confidential sources” js that no one is able to deter- mine when rumor and reports become con- fused with facts. The‘ only purpose of our editorials is to help you think for yourself and if they fail to accomplish this end, stop reading them. LIFE eel We cling to life, but it is a fragile reed that is likely to break at any time. Judging by the actions and attitudes of some of us, one would be led to believe that we look upon life as a sort of Rock of Gibraltar, strong enough to repel all at- tacks on it. But often, in the snap of a fin- ger, we begin what Theodore Roosevelt called the Great Adventure. However, most of us have feelings suf- ficiently acute to sense regret over the death of persons we had not known or heard of. Such were the deaths Wednes- day at Mims, Florida, of a banker and his wife who were killed instantly in an auto- mobile accident, and the deaths of a fath- er, mother and their five-months-old son, caused by monoxide fumes in their home in St. Petersburg, Florida. The father had forgotten to turn off the gas stove, and the fumes from it took away their lives. It was not explained who was to blame for the automobile crash, but of one thing we may be certain, there was a lack of precaution. Overlook something, in the home or out of it, and frequently it leads to the loss' of life. One, at first thought, would think that the home is the safest place in the world for a human being, but more deaths are caused by accidents in the home than on the highway. Yes, life is a‘ frail thing. It should have no place for envy, spite, hatred, or cupidity. Brotherly love should be the dominating factor in life, but we are for- ever at one another’s throat, actually or figuratively’ speaking. Man must live much, much longer before he “loves. his neighbor as himself.” There are perennial candidates who are always willing to offer themselves for any political job that comes along. BIBLE READING PROGRAM The first printed edition of the Bible was the work of Johann Gutenberg, of Mainz, Germany. It appeared about the middle of the Fifteenth Century and since that time the Bible has been translated, in part at least, into 1,080 different languages. The American Bible Society is spon- soring a Bible-reading program, beginning on Thansgiving Day and continuing until Christmas Day. Sunday, December 14, has been designated “Universal Bible Sun- day.” The idea is to emphasize the univer- sal appeal of the sixty-six books in the Bible and it is hoped that many millions of people will follow the suggested daily Bible reading. We call attention to the program be- cause we think the habit of reading the Bible will be good for the people who read The Citizen. We make no attempt to in- terpret the message that the Book con- veys, but we do not hesitate to recom- ment a thorough reading of the books of the Bible. Without calling attention to any par- ticular verse or chapter, we note that the Bible Society suggests that the Bible be read quietly and slowly, alertly and thoughtfully and that passages which “strike fire’ should be underlined, copied and repeated. This is good advice and we trust that it will persuade some of our readers, at least, to read the Bible and get its message for themselves. LOCAL GOVERNMENT LACKS MONEY The National Municipal League, which recently held its annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee, gave its major time to a discussion of States rights and home rule, with speakers from all parts of the nation warning against federal domination and continued dependence on Washington. Nobody suggests the basic reason for the lost balance between federal, state and local authority. It boils down to a simple question of finances. The federal govern- ment has been in possession of a super- abundant revenue, while many states, counties and cities have not been able, or willing, to take the steps necessary to secure adequate revenue for their govern- mental duties. One answer to the problem, it seems to us, would be a plan by which the large sums collected by the federal government under income taxes, could be divided be- tween the various units of government. Naturally, until the federal government meets present emergency demands and reduces its national debt, the idea is not feasible. However, the day will come when it can be done and should be done.
