By mat year $2.00 Labor on the Farm A ANY workers don’t want to be farm \ hands and, says the department of agriculture in effect, “there's a good rea- son why.” About 360 of these workers in North- eastern states interviewed about their cash earnings in 1921, said they got about $600 for the year. Sometimes they got housing, garden space and milk in addi- tion. Of the 360, there were 168 who were heads of families, whose cash earn- ings were under $800, Their working day averaged 10 hours in summer and eight hours tn winter, Al- most always their children had to work, too, or the family wouldn't have been able to get along at all. Space provided for living quarters for migratory workers was usually in shacks or outbuildings, often with just boards set on edge to mark off family spaces on the floor, on which straw and rough bedding was laid. Flies and mosquitoes were bad, Regular worke particularly if mar- ried, sometimes got the use of nearby farm houses or cottages, but too often found them in bad repai Living condi- tions seldom were desirab More and more farming comes to be a business, not just a mode of life. The successful farmer has to be a good busi- ness man and a far-sighted employer. He has to arrange things so that he uses la- bor-saving methods, provides steady em- ployment by rearranging crops, if neces- sary, gives his workers definite hours and time off, pays them as regularly as a fac- tory foreman. The department of agriculture is right when it states that unless labor, even farm labor, is given a square deal, it will go where it is better treated. “I'm just a goat,” says Scopes of his evolution case.

JOHN ROBINSON. On Rainier Cars iditor The Star: I) of the public hearings I hawe re. 4 or parti have been several ussions th reiative to the purchase of the Rainier Valiey 8 by the city, I have noticed a discreet silence by all opponents of the pur chase about the many and al most continuous carfare dis ns, that this part of s suffered, during the ‘ er part of the past 20 years, and the inestimable hard. ship this has brought upon the Valley residents To me it seems the height of human, unadulterated selfish- nes# on the part of these oppon- ents from other parts of the city to enjoy the many benefits of a city-owned transportation system, for which the Rainier Valley people also are paying, and at the same time do every- criminats thing in their power to perpetu. ate the unbearable transporte. tion conditions existing in this part of the city, It would be impossible, in an article like this, to give the citt zens of Seattle a complete pio ture of the major fights by the Valley citizens during this time against the local transportation company—and at times against the city government—to secure Just and equal transportation fa- cilities and fares with the rest of the city. What these unjust, and at times almost unbearable, condi. tions have cost this district, thru depreciated property val- ues and lack of natural develop. ment of the district is beyond comprehension, except to those who have studiously analyzed the situation and have actually lived in the Valley. Therefore, I repeat: that for these opponents to almost liter ally move heaven and earth in order to thwart the efforts of the present city council to ree tify to a small extent these un- just, discriminating, preposter. ous and unbearable conditions, is the extreme height of human selfishness.
