And, believe it or not, there were no processing taxes nor short hours and high wages 25 years ago. Note that one of the alternatives to re-opening was “until cotton goes down in price.” Cotton mills had a habit of closing before the advent of the New Deal.

The suite of fur- hiture was won by little Miss Pauline, daughter of Judge E. W. Holman. You may now expect the biggest howl over the declared unconstitu tionality of NRA to come from the chislers, big and little, who have en joyed an increased business under the Blue Eagle because of code evasions— taking advantage "of those who lived up to the codes in both letter and .spirit. Employe as well as employer will auffer as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, for the reason that it is manifestly impossible fer a part of any one industry to continue to pay high wages for short houurs in unrestricted selling competition with the other part. That would be pretty much like the plight in which the farmer finds himseffl—buying in a protected mlarket anti selling in a worH market in competition fc’hh cheap labor in foreign lands. , A return to the unrestricted compe tition that exis’.ed prior to the adop tion of the codes means a reduction in manufacturing costs, either by length ening hours or reducing wages, or both. As ».he employer who has ob served his codie of fair competition endeavors to protect his business by meeting the low prices offered by the chialer, the latter must reduce his prices still further to hold his custo- n o T4.qjs, IN RE: Docket No. 1,418.—The ap plication of Lowe's Transfer; Aiken, South Carolina, for Class D Certifi cates of Public Convenience and Necessity to 'render motor freight service between the South Carolina- ' Georgia State line, (Augusta, Ga.) and Charleston, S.

No waste had the foresight to'invest in Superfex, that oil burning refrigerator which keeps their food fresh, wholesome, and free from spoilage at a cost of less than $10 a year. Superfex means a substantial saving of food and money... and it makes food taste better. I N thousands of country homes, housewives are grateful to husbands who SUMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Served.) With Superfex, every meal is an event instead of a routine necessity for you and the rest of the family., Superfex keeps food in such a crisp and healthful condition that all kinds of delightful dishes, including frozen desserts, puddings and ice cream, are easy to make for your family and friends. Superfex comes in five models ... all sturdily built and finished according to the modern idea of kitchen attrac tiveness. Superfex burns only a few hours each day, then goes out; but refrigeration goes on for. 24 hours. Come in now and we’ll demonstrate Superfex; you’ll want to own one. men, with a consequent lowering of wages and lengthening of hours. Thus the vicious circle continues. ’A 'Few" Random Thoughts. If it does nothing else, the wage differential fixed for the payment of relief clients has exploded the theory that there is such .thing as an “Ameri can” standard of living, and the gov ernment has placed its stamp of ap proval on the disadvantageous posi tion of the South in relation to the rest of'the nation in the matter of wages. * No one will contend "that an un skilled, asparagus farm laborer in New Jersey, given the same implements with which to work, can accomplish more than twice as much as a* similar laborer on a Barnwell County aspara gus farm. Y’et, the - government— yours and! mine—says that unskilled labor in the smaller communities of the North and East must be paid $40 a month, while the same ch ss of labor in the South shall receive only $19. The Southerner must sell his cotton and asparagus ami cucumbers and watermelons and other crops on the basis of $19 labor and buy the manu factured articles of the industrial Norih and East on the basis of $40. In other words, his labor hours will buy LESS THAN HALF as much ay that of his fellow workers in oth/i State of South Cjolina, . County of Barnwe l. Court of Common Pleas. Victor R.
