holder drawing $500 a year can’t
offer much of a boon to a $2,500
wage earner.
Strikes can’t take something
from the owners of a company
that the owners don’t get. That
leaves nobody to pay the higher
• wages but Mr. Consumer whose
family drives the car, wears the
shoes and eats the food. A large
majority of consumers are them
selves workers. In the absence of
increased production, a strike is a
^ boomerang. It hits the consumer
who is the worker himself.
(fHOST TOWNS AID
IN HOUSING SHORTAGE
^jrALLUP, N. M. — (/P)— Found:
A practical use for the ghost
towns which dot the West by
worthless scores.
Two such villages, the aban
doned coal mining camps of Na
vajo and Gibson, are helping re
lieve a housing shortage in Gal
lup.
Movers simply hoisted the
buildings onto truck trailers and
towed them four or five miles
into town. Since early spring
140 houses have been sold, net
ting around $300 apiece for the
Gallup-Gamerco Coal Co., owner
of the property. Homeless pur
chasers paid an additional $185
to get them moved.
