Council Committee Agrees to
Hasten Work on West End-
Grant Park Boulevard.
Definite promises of Important street
Improvements have been obtained to
day as a result of complaints by com
mittees of citizens to council’s streets
Committee.
The committee agreed with the south
side citizens that the work of building
the boulevard from West End to Grant
park should’proceed at once. The com
mittee also agreed to a new grade for
Georgia avenue, an improvement not
contemplated in the original plans.
The city now has $3,000 to spend on
this work, and. with the citizens, mem
bers of the streets committee went be
fore the county commissioners todaj
and urged that the improvement be be
gun immediately.
The building of this boulevard lias
been authorized by council since 1910.
The work is in progress and under
passes have been provided at the junc
tion of Glenn street and the Southern
and Central railroads. But the prop
erty owners have become very much dis
satisfied with the progress of the work
and a large committee of citizens, with
R. R. Otis as chairman, was appointed
at a recent mass meeting to see that
proper progress is made.
Contracts were let to Thomas Mead
or, Jr., for the paving with wood blocks
of West Hunter street, from Whitehall
street to Madison avenue, at $2.75 per
square yard and Poplar street, from
Peachtree street to Broad street, for
$3 per square yard. The difference in
the price Is due to the fact that only a
Short block of Poplar street is to be
paved.
A committee of citizen- was prom
ised that the West Mitchell street Im
provement would be taken up at once.

MINIMUM WAGE PLANK
A DELUSION ANDSNARE,•
SAYSCHARLESD. HILLES
By CHARLES D. HILLES,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—Have you
ever stopped to think where the "mini
mum wage" proposition of the Third
Term party leads to? Do you know
what it means and where it will end?
The Third Term platform asserts that
"minimum wageyeommissions should be
established * * * to determine the
standard which the pubffc ought to
sanction as a minimum." To the wage
earner who is underpaid that sounds
peculiarly attractive So does the
promise of health to the sick man. But
it is an old adage that "all is not gold
that glitters." and this applies as often
to economic remedies as to patent med
icines. The proposition in its simplest
terms is that the government should fix
a rate of wages less than which no
employer would be permitted to pay.
Governments are controlled by political
parties, so that it also means that a
political party would fix the lowest
wage which any employer could pay.
Now, what would that lowest wage
be? That, of course, would have to de
pend on the political party. The Re
publican party, if it continued to hold
its national convention first, would fix
the minimum wage for an eight-hour
day of an able-bodied man. for instance,
at $3. Then,the Democratic party would
hofcl its convention. It would be ob
vious that to hold its own it must make
the rate equally high. But the Demo
cratic party, like other parties, is al
ways anxious to do more in its plat
form than hold its own. It wants to
win supporters from the other parties.
To do this it would naturally fix the
minimum wage for which it stood at
$3.50 a day. Then would come an in
dependent party and it would raise the
minimum to $4 a day, for unskilled
labor, other “minimums” in proportion.
Then would come the Socialist party,
determined to make the strongest bid
for the support of labor. Its minimum
would probably be $5. and the labor
party, determined not to be outdone,
would make it $6.
“Would Labor Get It?"
Os course, that would be al! well and
proper so far as the rate of wages was
concerned, and no one would object to
labor receiving such reward, but would
it receive it? Os course, if unskilled
labor cost $6 for an eight-hour day,
skilled labor would have to be paid in
proportion if men were to continue to
take the trouble to become skilled la
borers. The skillful brickmason who
now receives three times the rate paid
to the unskilled laborer would demand
that his wage be three times greater,
or $lB a day. Even suppose, for sake
of argument, that these rates of wages
were fixed at one election, where would
it end? At the next election each po
litical party would seek to outbid the
other until the "minimum” would be-

come a maximum little dreamed of to
day.
As I have said, no friend of labor
could object to its generous compensa
tion, but would labor receive the wages
promised by the party platform?
Would not the effect be so as to in
crease the cost of building, of manu
facturing. of production of every sort,
that no one could afford to buy the
products, so that building and nwim
faeturing would cease? For if such
rates of wages could be established for
the worker in the factory, in construc
tion work and in building, is it possible
that any labor could be induced to work
on the farm? Even now, when wages
in the city are good, labor on the farm
is so scarce that crops go to waste and
the fanners are constantly complaining
—and the complaint of the present high
cost of living is universal
But suppose the employer were for
bidden to add the increased cost of la
bor to lhe price of his product, would
that not remedy the defect? If that
were done, the employer would imme
diately demand, and with justice, that
the government fix the price of the ma
teiial he was compelled to buy. With a
minimum wage and a maximum price
prescribed by law the employer's only
protection against extortion by land
lords and owners of all classes of ma
terial would be maximum prices fixed
by law. Os course, that is the golden
age dreamed of by the Socialist, and to
that alone does the third party plat
form lead; but 1 venture to assert that
never will a political party, or a gov
ernment controlled b.v political parties,
prove able to fix the rates of wages in a
manner either just or satisfactory to
labor.
Labor unions can do much to effect
just wages, but they can do it because
they are not political organizations;
because they are almost free from po
litical influences, and because they fix
their attention on the needs and rights
each of a particular trade, or at most a
number of affiliated trades. The goY
einment can do much to assist; can
break up combinations‘which put inor
dinate power as employers into the
hands of a few men; can impose a tar
>l; which will protect the American
workman from unfair competition from
abroad; can compel the use of safety
appliances. and even enforce the ob
servance of the eight-hour law on all
the work which it controls. But the
fixing of wage scales must be left to be
worked out by the working men
through his union and the employer.
That is the point to which no govern
ment can go and give satisfaction.
Let no man who is attracted by- the
alluring promise of the Third Term party
take my word for it. Like President
Taft, 1 am perfectly content to trust the
decision* to"' the intelligence of the
American workmen—only I urge that
he shall think it out for himself and not
let any persuasive politician do his
thinking for him.

TOM WATSON MAKES
CONCILIATORY TALK
MADISON. GA., Aug. 31.—Thomas
E. Watson addressed a gathering of
about 1.200 . persons yesterday after
noon at Appalachee, in Morgan county,
the occasion being a barbecue dinner
for the benefit of the new public school
building being erected by the citizens
of that place. Mr. Watson’s address
was very conciliatory in its nature, and
no unpleasant utterances were voiced
b.v hint. H» did not refer to national
politics, either directly or indirectly.
In contrast to Mr. Watson's speech
was that of J. J. Brown, unsuccessful
candidate for commissioner of agricul
ture, who had Watson's support in the
recent primary and convention. Mr.
Brown declared that he had been le
gally elected to the office, and that had
it not been for an illegal assumption of
representation by some man who an
swered the call of <’hattooga county,
he would have been elected on the first
ballot at Macon.
In answer to the fertilizer trust
charge, he declared that the declara
tions made against him on the floor of
the convention were maliciously false
and were made solely to defeat him.
