A New Radio compass for
airplanes was shown to be a sue
cess in tests made by TT. S. na

THE TARIFF
(Boston News Bureau.)
In a chat with one of Wall
Str et’s thinkers and doers —a
democrat by the way —he re
marked to me the other day:
“Tl e tariff put the market
up when Mclvinl *y was Presi
dent. There is no tariff now to
do it Willi Ennpe producing
we must have a tariff, must
have reduced labor costs and
increased efficiency and lower
taxes.
I am told that lire brick com
panics in St. Louis 1 ave to pay
negro labor $7 a day for wheel
barrowing bricks to railroad
cars. The negro is now paid
piecework and wheels 00 to 100
bricks per load, whereas before
on day work, he would wheel
but 40 to 50.
He earns $6 to $7 and stops
about 4 p. m These same ne
groes used to get $1.75 to $2 25
a day ‘befob de war, h then $3.50
and would not work, so they
were put on piece work with
above results.
We can’t stand this sort of
thing and compete with Europe
when she ‘comes back’ We
must have a high tariff or be
swamped.”
