The first thought that came pur way was “ What has be­ come o f the Civil Service law ?” A second thought was “ What he# become o f the Minimum Wage Law for Women?” The more we pondered the more we became puzzled ..and from what source was the commissioners getting legal advice? The lowering o f the salary o f the woman cook to 81 a month brings out something from the standpoint o f employer o f female labor in Ohio. A Democratic legislature took on the New Deal in Ohio and those who employ female labor have little to say about salary and hours o f labor. All three mem­ bers o f the board o f commissioners are farmers, one Republi­ can, the other two Democrats, The Republican member failed to vote on the lowering o f the salaries and o f course could not be expected to be fully informed in New Deal procedure. There could hardly be a valid excuse offered by the Democratic members, for not being-informed on Democratic laws. . I f they had taken advice it would make interesting reading to know the source o f legal procedure, * The New Deal wage law has teeth in it. A stiff fine and days if employer violates the law, public officials included. The law also says that labor so treated-can have legal advice and this cost must be assessed on the employer along with court costs. The lady cook at $1 a month will get her salary regard­ less o f what the commissioners may do.. If she has not been paid the minimum wage since the law became affective she can collect back salary. Some time ago we suggested that farmers should be com pelled to meet the same wage and hour requirements that most business faces under the New Deal. Roosevelt now wants a broad wage and hour law. for men arid women. Let's have it for. everybody. y A WORD TO THE WISE Farjpers 'who thinks they have nothing at stake in the -wage-hour bill nowpending inCongressare due to receive some surprises if that bill becomes law. Congressional sponsors o f the measure' who represent fanning districts point to the sections exempting agricultural labor and conclude it won’t hurt the farmer. But, ignoring the fact that the bill will raise the cost o f the things the farmer buys, look at the1record a minute. When the NIRA—the Blue Eagle, you' remember?—was conceived, the farmer was left out o f that. But soon the plan­ ners' discovered that'you couldn’t limit the production .of in dnstry, which buys farm goods and processes them, without limiting farm production. Otherwise, huge farm surpluses would have piled up. So NIRA- was followed by AAA. Next, Congress passed the Social. Security A ct,. taxing employers for pensions and unemployment payments to in­ dustrial employees. .Farmers were exempted. Brit today there is tremendous pressure in Washington for amendments to that Act applying the taxes, to farmers too. - The.very fact that the new wage-hour bill exempts farmers is a Congressional declaration o f its belief that it has the ,power to fix the wages and hours o f farm hands. What Con­ gress actually is saying is: “ We can fix wages and hours for farm Workers, but we won’t do it—now.” 1 , ^l^c'tibal^bfiilHsvoh thevM#t«fte books, ;a simple three-line amendment cab be introduced' extending it tofarmers. That It will be is attested to by the past and by the drive o f labor unions to enroll farm workers.—Lebanon 'Western Star. 0m m We had the pleasure of bearing former Attorney General Edward Tenter give « descriptive talk of his experiences and observations while touring Russia this past summer. His talk was given at the Hall- of Fame dinner at the 0. S. U., Friday evening. After hearing Mr. Turner describe the Soviet form of government it was not hard to understand what the New Deal really ia. You Will recall that Roosevelt dispatched a number of So­ cialist college professors and several Communists to Russia to "get ideas” for the New Deal on how to run this country. Mr. Turner says it takes $200 in American money to buy a pair of shoes in Russia, The people are desperately poor for they work for low wages and long hours both on the farm and in the factorial, all of which are owned by the government. He says you can see only what the government agent accompanying you wants you to see. You can purchase a steamship ticket to Russia but this .government o r no other can guarantee that you will be permitted to enter. In their party one husband was re­ fused admittance while the wife of another w^s refused. Mr. Turner, who was accompanied by bis wife, mid the boat officials Were even un­ able to learn why. some,,dozen pas­ sengers were not permitted to land. It juts been 20 years since the famous revolution and the boy or girl o f ten years at that time is now thirty and knows'no other kind o f governments Thousands of older citizens have been killed or died of starvation. You can build a house if you can find the money but only on land leased' from the government. No one is allowed to own any land. Russia has crop trol, the farmer gets one peck out. of. each eight of wheat. The government takes seven and has hundreds of mil lions of bushels of wheat loaded in boats ready to ship instantly. The New- Deal treaty made by Roosevelt gives Russia a market in this country of two million bushels* each month. Local grain dealers were only able to offer 80c for wheat Saturday. Time, out' to laugh and three cheers and a tiger for introduction of Russian crop control in this country. * fem i V ifa f Biury to* TiwW# i* tawta* in y*Slwr That's what you!8pring* over tint recent wet and dry might term n -social call, No other nation in the world would let labor unions keep visitors' of election.

We were told in Co Iambus last week that if actual at­ tendance amounted to anything .at that meeting there were few farmers in Ohio. Oar informant states that 99 per cent were Farm Bureau officials, *County Agents and the salaried list that hand out government checks votes. We have asked a score of Greene county farmers if they have ever been asked for an expression di­ rectly and not one has answered in the affirmative to this date, Most of themhave been more interested in the drop in the hog market, along with everything else since Roqpevelt’s at­ tack on business.

When rep­ resentatives' of the building supplies wanted an ear in Washington that $2.10 an hour for briokmagpns was hurting the business, the New Deal replied: “Go^ back home and lower jrOur prices 'so people can- afford to build.” FDR says wages ate not high but how can anyone produce building: materia] cheap on high priced labor?
