ROSEBURG NEW5r)EV IEW, AUGUST 18, it Si RAILWAY WAGE CONFERENCE. President Harding said on May 23, 1921 : "In our el.ort at establishing industrial justice we must see that the wage earner is placed in an economically sound position. His lowest wage must be enough for comfort, enough to make his house a home, enough to insure that the struggle for existence shall not crowd out the things truly worth living for. There must be pros'ision for education, for recreation, and a margin for saving." Thf United States' department of labor has stated that $1100 is the lowest bu ma family of five may decently live upon, according; to present purchasing power of a dollar. The second indus trial conference summed up the situation thus: "If the fundamen tal that the basic wage of all employes should be adequate to maintain the employe and his family in reasonable comfort and with adequate opportunity for the education of his children When the wages of any group fall below this standard for any length of time, the situation becomes dangerous to the wellbeiiii? of the state." In the face of these statements the United States railway labor board has decreed that 23 cents per hour is a suf ficient basic wage for one group of railway employes. The scale advances upward for other groups. The 23 cent rate is equiva lent to less than $000 per year on a basis of six days labor a week All the machinery of the government has been brought to bear up on the strikers to compel them to accept this scale. The labor board has no power to compel any group of men to accept a cer tain wage. Congress never conferred compulsory authority in the matter, but that sort of propaganda has been broadcasted and many good people deceived into the belief that the strikers are defying the government. However, if Mr. Harding was cor rect in his analysis of the wage situation, no group of men should be asked to accept a wage that will not comfortably support each individual and his family, affording education for the children, comforts for the home, decent clothing and surroundings that will make for higher citizenry. The question that now comes is: Will 23 cents per hour do this thing? President Harding and other eminent gentlemen in the government service say it will not. The rail labor board, however, has sought to enforce its ruling, and big interests have thrown all their powerful influence to the tide of the railway managers to enable them to compel the men to submit. If congress has power to establish a wage scale for ojie group of employes, it also follows that it has the authority to decree what the doctor shall charge for his professional service, what the lawyer may collect from his client, or what the grocer may demand for sugar and flour. Such a course would be social ism and not to be desired, yet the government must do this very thing if it attempts to say how many dollars per year a railway laborer shall receive. The News-Review stated some days ago that the men are entitled to a fair wage, and that no state can prosper where the producers are ground down to the verge of destitution by greedy corporations. This paper believes that President Harding and the rail labor board can settle this nation wide controversy in a few hours if they will but live up to what the executive himself has said wasn "sound position," and what the industrial council has declared is "fundamental to public in terest." Less thnn $G00 per annum will not do it. Leaving the question of who is to blame for the industrial strife out of the discussion, it is a foregone conclusion that the great American public desires that employes be well paid by corporations. Such a condition means business prosperity for all classes. The farmer I gets better pay for his products, the merchant has no trouble over delinquent bills owing by impoverished patrons, bank de posits grow, building is stimulated, homes are bought, railway freight is augmented, and every man has that extra dollar that the president has alleged it positively necessary for "recreation and a margin for saving." o flbtunc flbfekin's BY BERT G.

' A pretty fiction always arises, how ever, from the fumes of revelations such as this. It is the claim that, bo- fore a baneful and unrighteous law snatched the bottle away, all liquor win pure. That happens to be ono of the pretentions of the trade that are not so. Adulterated whiskey was com mon enough before the land went dry. Whiskey that was whiskey by cour tesy only, and actually the creation of a chemical formula, was by no means unknown. A peculiarity of liquor Is that it. lends itself readily to the ways of deception. Thirsty men ask few questions of it. But the whiskey ques tions them shrewdly. It demands of them a reason why they should sur vive it. Orpgonlan. - - ' ' ' day closes.
