THE   FINANCIERS'    WAV—AND
FORD'S." says:
"WlieneviT In America an indus¬ trial worker strives to better his condition, he Joins the flght for in¬ dustrial Justice which Henrj- Ford has been leading for more than 30 years—on the one hand, to pay the worker more than a "living wage.' that he and his children may have the beneflt of some of the luxuries and opportunities og life; and, on the other, to keep the price of tho.se luxuries and opportunities within reach of the workers' dollar.
"The younger workers of today know little—and appreciate less— the condition of the American woric- Ingman 40 years ago. In those days the financiers ruled. Labor, to them. was Just another commodity to be bought at the lowest possible price Work shifts were 10 and 12 hours a day—everywhere common labor got from 90 cents to tl a day. Highly skilled labor got from |1 SO to t2 a day. Men who, by special ability, or unusual circumstance, got $3 a day were looked upon by their fel¬ lows as the topnotchers of the In¬ dustrial world.
'The ba.slc aim of management tlien was to produce as cheaply a- possible and sell for the high's; price possible. That was the fl- nanciers way. That system aflicted the conditions under which men h.xd to Kibor. Tools and machinery- were kept in use imtil they utterly broke down. Millions of men worked, not on an hourly ba.sis but on "plt>ce work"-another device ot the finan¬ ciers to sweat every nickel po.>^sible out of ttie men.
"When the tools got old and worn OJ* the earning power of the men was cut down. When the macliin- ery broke down—as it often did—tlie m n lost time and wages.

WHAT INTERESTS WOMEN MOST?
The three major forces whi'h guide the lives of women, according to an analysis made by the girls at the Columbia School of Journalism and repirted bv Alice Hughes, are:
Women's primary interest is to g<'t a man—and if not to keep him, then to replace him with some more  desirable one.
Tlieir .-econdary concern Is to keep themselves looking young, beautiful and   charming.
Third, they are interested in bablt - and chidren
Anna Steese Richardson does not supp'jrt the ana!y-is of the college girls This exp rienced investigator, after many tr:p- across th? c >un rv. .says that "»f>men are now mos: concerned with, flrst. preservation and r- juvenation of their faces and bodle-; second, with active pleasur- such as d.incmg sport-, trip-, games and home entertainmen*; and third, bridge, though with some less furv than in the pa.-t; and fourth, .she found modest 'absorption in cul¬ tural and civic aflairs."

"Shiee last Novembar than been a larfer monthly total of strikes than at period in the country'a blatorp the exception of 1517," United States News, ber through May, exactly strikes have occurred. Tbtjr hSVS -truck 46 of the 45 at >akota and New Mexloo xceptions. As is to be hey have been most >ectlons of Une country wiMN to* dustrial development la Michigan, New York, Ntw California. They havw numerous in the agricultural i Iowa, Kansas, Nebraaka, etc.
Even so. there ts nothing in the number of strlkM that hafS occurred in reoent montha — tSS World War years provide a niuMg* ical parallel. However, as ttM V. O News also points out, thert Is a'' and fundemental difTerenee In demands the strikers art today as compared to thoae thi^ .-nade In 1917.
In practically all prt«depc«asl«a strikes, labor demandtS wages and or shorter working The closed shop was rarely a vltsi Issue. Today the primary iaminS of strikers is the closed shop. IS many instances, union demands for higher wages and shorter work waekf have been met by Industry—Sul strikes have continued, because > ployers refused to grant tht shop.
This is obviously a vital ehaafi in labor's attitude. Puthermort, tt has been accompanied by the tntiy of labor Into politics on an OS" precedented scale. Tbe A. F. af L,, for Instance, used to keep ammltOttf clear of political partisanship—y«l before tbe last election. A. P. of L.^ President Oreen and other blfh at* flcials came out strongly In favor of the reelection of Mr. aoaama. And John L. LewU, head of ttM A. P. of L's rival, tht CIO, ia a Roosevelt backer, and vaa a contributor to the Dwagratis palgn fund. Ht is llfeavlia • Influence tn aeveral of tlw Industrial sutes, notably vanta and Michigan. It Is hla kalMff that the labor movtmeat. If It Is IS be successful, must be iwiwainatlp and aggressively involved ta polltlM.
This unprecedented sltuatlcn hag caused a definite cleavage of Ion over labor and ita actlvlUes. tt to the general among employers, for Inetanaa. thst the great Isaue ot tha tmm O whether labor Is to run. kp proap, the government. The labor unlas executives and the liberal aad radt> cal publlcatlcns that side wtth labor. feel that direct action Is tiscntlal. and that such strategy as tlM sit* down strikes and the demand for a too per cent closed siwp, wher* no non-union man may work, la necessary If labor Is to receive Ita fair share of industry's earnings.
One thing is certain—labor Is owrt powerful today than even In thO past. In the nineteen years endlaf m 1533. less than 30 per cent of strikes were ended with labor win* nlng Its demands Last year, than 40 per cen: of strikes cvi ated In uneqoivcal victories for tlM strikers, while in 36 p-r cent more labor receued part ol its demands.
As every stud-nit of history knows, recovery from a depression breeds strikes. This was true after tha depression., of 1884. 1891, 1907. etc However, today the issues are deeper and difTerent. and present strikea cannot b ¦ acurately compared with those of previous decades. It Is alaS true that for the first time in OUT history, the Pederal government haa attempted to solve the probleoi through legislation—the Wagner Act creating the National Labor Rcla* tion- Boirl.
Admittedly, the Wagner Act la one-sided -it put.s responsibilities of many kind£ upon emploj-ers. and few upon labor The Supreme Court spoke of this fact In uptioldlng tiM Act. but said there was nothing la the Constitution to prevent Congreas from passing a one-sided law. •• far. the Wagner Act has certainly failed In preventing strikea—tat la fairness to the Act, It should bt recorded that it has seldom beta invoked In the recent steel atrlkea. for instance. It was not brought lota force. As a result, the adequacy of the Act remain.s in question, and la vet to be proved. Oeneral oplnloa holds that the Act must be extensively re\ i-ed if it Is to achieve real
