R06EBURQ NEWS-REVIEW, JULY 1, 1922. A LIVING WAGE. The strike of the railroad ehop crafts this morning is a mat ter which cannot be taken lightly. It is a matter affecting not only our own community, our own city and state, but the entire nation is concerned. There are always two sides to any question and the individual who occupies a neutral position should not be influenced to the extreme of cither one side or the other without first investigating all of the facts concerned. It is true that luboring men cannot expect to retain the high rate of wages which existed during the times when laborers were scarce and materials were high, it is equally true that those con trolling the capital of the country cannot expect the laboring ' man to see his loved ones suffering for the lack of the necessities of life without entering a protest. Any man who makes his living by the toil of his hands is entitled to a wage which will permit him to provide himself and .his family with at least the necessities of life and to enjoy the happiness which these comforts afford. Any movement which tends to reduce the worker to a position bordering on slavery, without recompense which will provide some of the comforts of life, is not in conformity with the principles of humanity. The wage question is one of paramount importance to this nation. Living costs have been reduced to a certain extent but they have not yet reached the low level of pre war times. There is a positive connection between living costs and wages and as one is lowered the other drops also. In the light of past events it is not believed to be policy to lower one out of proportion to the other. There must be an adjustment of both and in this adjust ment the principle of humanity ,and the right to the ordinary comforts of life must not be overlooked. MONEY AND MARKETS. ; Industrial stability has been more nearly attained in the ; past thirty days than at any time since the beginning of the World War, according to published reports. Some industries -have shown moderate gains, in others conditions have altered but little and in a few lines a seasonal dullness has occurred. The unfavorable factors in the situation are the continued deadlock in the coal strike and in the textile mills of New England and 'threats of strikes by those classes of railroad labor affected by recent decisions of the United States railroad labor board. ; Iron and steel output for May showed further gains, and the unfilled orders of the United States Steel Corporation have in creased. Automobile production during May established new high records. The rubber manufacturing industry is sharing in the activity in automobile manufacturing. Conditions in the hide market are not yet satisfactory but stocks are not large and both tanners and manufacturing consumers of leather feel reason ably sure that prices of hides and skins will not go lower. Stocks of leather are heavy but the market is becoming more active for all classes. In the shoe industry there is evidence of a slowly improving demand which is being felt not only in the middle west but in New England, where heretofore the industry has been especially depressed. In the textile and related industries, the foremost problem is whether the higher prices resulting from rising costs of raw materials can be passed on to the consumer. The wool manufac ture is operating nearly at capacity. The cotton textile industry in the south is active but strike conditions continue to prevail in Now England. There is evidence of a slightly improved demand for broad silks but taking the country as a whole, this division of the silk industry is probably at little more than 50 per cent of capacity. The cement, lumber and brick industries have met with some difficulty in satisfying demand because of the large volume of building and construction under way throughout the country. The distribution of agricultural implements continues to be fairly active, although the industry is still affected by the curtailed purchasing power of the farmer. The June estimate is for a wheat crop somewhat larger than the average of the five pre ceding yeara. This offers promise of an improvement in condi tions in those area where wheat is the leading crop, targe yields of oats, barley and rye and a heavy hay crop are also fore cast and pastures are excellent Weather conditions for corn and cotton have not been satisfactory thus far, and both are late. Conditions in the retail dry goods trade vary considerably in different parts of the country. In some of the strike areas, busi ness has fallen off heavily. As yet the improved outlook in agri culture is not reflected in any marked increase in buying, agri cultural betterment thus far being primarily one of sentiment. On the other hand, a definite improvement is reported in retail trade in those cities where unemployment is being reduced and payrolls increased. Wholesale distribution in many lines was not satisfactory during May, but is now beginning to improve. By BERT G. BATES. GOOD EVENING FOLKS That picture In the Colyum next to us Ought to be in This colyum. The ahopmen walked out this a. m. which proves that there is some in dependence left in this old world after all. A bald-headed feller, who was dis gusted with the United States and its cess-pools of iniquity lectured at the chau'qua last night for two solid hours on his home town of Chicago, which he has been trying to map up. a "Flappers look good to ex-senator," says a headline today. And the ex senator was 100 years of age. If the flappers look good to him we'll bet the younger birds get quite thrilled. The oity council's streets are be ing oiled this p. m. with skid grease so that the village hoof artists can skid to their heart's content at the baseball benefit dance tonight. The American mothers are missing a wonderful opportunity. The thin clothes the girlies are wearing now would make spanking wonderfully ef fective. 8 Employer (hiring new man): "You are not afraid of early hours, I sup pose ?" New Man: "No, Sir.

The representatives were well pleased with the accomplishments of the conference nnd were in favor of holding similar ones at frequent Inter vals. During their suiy In Washington they were received by President Hard lug and were addressed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. L)r. John It.

As a result of the conference of representatives of the purebred dairy cattle associations held In Washing ton, May S, at the call of Dr. C. W. Larson, chief of the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture, a number of important recommendations were made for the Improvement of the dairy Industry, especially the purehred dairy cattle business. Each of the breed associa tions, Including the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss. Guernsey, Hulstein-Frlesian, and Jersey, wus represented by two ox more delegates. The subjects of dis cussion had to do with the improve ment of dairy cattle, advanced regis try, fairs, and Bales. No conferences of this kind lind been held for several years, nnd the representatives expressed the desire that this one might result In the for mation of a permanent organization to thresh out problems of uiutuul Interest and to work for the general better ment of the Industry. Figures pre pared by the department showed a de- clued need for Improvement In dairy animals and In making the best use of the Improved animals that are now avuilable. The average production of the cows of the United States Is ubont 4.0U0 pounds of milk and ICO pounds of butterfat a year, while the average cow In some other countries produces almost twice as much. There are 80 million grade and scrub dairy animals In the country and less thun n million purebreds. There are 4,5GC.ool Amer ican farms baring dairy cattle, and only 208,251 of these farms have pure bred dairy cattle. It Is estimated that approximately 250,000 purebred dairy bull calves born each year are not needed on the farms where purebreds are kept. Of the purebred animals that were registered last year, about loO.OOu were females and less thun 7r,0O0 males, which Indicates that not Imlf of the purebred dairy. bulls are registered. Recommend better Sires. Among the recommendations made by the conference were those express ing approval of plans for Increasing the use of purebred bulls in scrub and grade herds, and of the plans for co operative bull associations ns being the best known means for distributing surplus bulls aud introducing them Into new territory. Although there Is a place In this country for all the purebred dairy cattle that may be pro duced for some time, it was the con sensus of opinion that an expert busi ness in purebreds would help to stimu late interest among farmers at home. A number of questions related to advanced registry were brought up. Co-ordination of effort by and between the agricultural colleges and the breed associations wns suggestet, and It wns recommended that these organizations and Institutions make special efforts to co-operate. In this connection It was suggested that the vnriou.i representa tives ask their associations at their earliest meetings to appoint commit tees to meet with the Dairy Science association to see If an Improved plan for making official tests of cows can be worked out, which will be agreeable to the breeders, the associations, and the colleges that send out the official testers. The showing of dairy animals at fairs and expositions received a good deal of attention from several angles. It wns decided to recommend to the associations that they cease giving money prlacs nt these shows, but spend the funds In putting ou educa tional exhibits; that more attention should be glvcu to production records tn nwartllng prizes at fairs and allows; that the associations repre sented should give more atteptiou to educational exhibits showing the eco nomic advantage of purebreds in dairy practice; that each association has a distinct duty In connection with the selection of suitable persons to act ns Jtidtrcs of the various breeds of dairy cattle at fairs and shows; that no ani mals should be admitted to fairs and exositlons unless tliey are from herd accredited ns being free of tutx-rcu-losis or lu herds uuder federal or state supervision, and that fairs not enforc ing such a rule should not be favored; Especially Valuable to Orchard Owner with animals f.r exhibits.

A Price, entomologist nt Punl Federal Officers Have Been Instructed to Watch for Interstate Ship ments of Feeds Adulterated or Miabranded. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Asrlculture.) Some feed dealers are refilling used feed sacks stamped or printed with the name ot the manufacturer and lite brand nnruo of the feed that was originally In the sack, so that the names and brands are not true In reference to the feed in the sack after rellllltig, according to olliclals of .the bureau of chemistry. United States De partment of Agriculture, who are charged with the enforcement of the Food and Drugs act. A feed denier of Iowa was recently cited to a hearing under the Federal Food and Drugs act for shipping Into Interstate commerce a molasses feed in hut's which be had refilled but which bore the name of another feed manufacturer. Tlie sacks also bore a brand name under which the original owner of the sacks sold a stock feed of much higher grade than the feed with which the sacks were refilled. The Federal Food and Drugs act does not require the name of the man ufacturer or the brand name to ap pear on sacks of feed coming with in Its Jurisdiction, according to offi cials of the bureau, but If the name of the manufacturer nnd brand ore given on the sack they must be true. The Food and Drugs act prohibits the use of any statements on foods or mislead-1 or feeds that are false lng in any particular. A dealer who contemplates refilling used feed sacks on which is printed the name of another manufacturer or any statements that are not correct when applied to the product he uses In refilling the sacks should be very careful to see that all such statements re obliterated. Inspectors hove been Instructed to look out for Interstate shipments of stock feeds which are adulterated or mlshranded In tills or any other pnrtlc ular. Appropriate action will be tak en In all cases found to be in violation of the law, it Is said.
