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.

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
