fundamental principle of the wages bill underly- theory is that an industry operating in a part of the country where money wages are high has some kind of right to invoke the power of ing the fe d e ra 1 government to protect it from c o m p e titors who operate in Walter Lippmann a region where money wages are lower In the guise of regulating Interstate commerce the federal government is to assume the obligation of preventing the products of the competitors from being sold nationally No one can say of course how much this power will actually be used That is left to the board And the board will therefore become the storm center of sectional rivalries and grievances and the meeting place of pressure groups Presumably the board would begin modestly and would attempt to deal only with the obvious cases of local exploitation and sweating avoiding the difficult cases arising out of really serious differences of wagp level in various parts of the country low-wa- Marks Start’ of An Experiment But while prudence political resistance and the unmanageable complexity of the task may make the measure rather Inconsequential the Important thing is that this is a beginning like a first venture into tariff protection of a radically new thins in American lifef 'It is the adoption of the principle that the richer regions of the country may use the fed-erpower against thr rlsing ln dustrialism of the poorer regions of the country Hitherto the use of the power to exclude goods from interstate commerce has been governed by a wholly different theory The goods have been excluded because they were generally injurious and in order to protect all the people against them But in this new venture we arrive at what amounts to the protection of one region against another region and the acceptance of the principle that the manufacturers of a region where wages are low beeconomic cause of causes may be penalized to the advantage of the manufacturers in more favored regions deejp-seat- Aimed at Southern Industrial Life I The minimum wage fixed under this bill may be fairly low: once under way as in any tariff or In ‘any subsidy or In any system of legal privileges the whole pressure of politics will be to raise It For the active Interests behind this bill are the established industries in the richer sections of the country And the real purpose of the measure whether or not some of its sponsors realize it is to obstruct competition from the new industrial south A- measure for raising real wages in the south it is a grim joke For while hre and there one can no doubt find southern manufacturers who could easily be made to pay higher wages It is reasonably certain that the great bulk of southern industry enjoys no excessive profits If this law really does what its northern sponsors mean to have it do it will in effect prevent the cheaper but less efficient labor of many southerners from competing in national markets This labor will either become unemployed or will be forced back into those local Intrades and services dustries which are not under federal' regulation Now the" really Impoverished labor of the south is just there on the marginal lands and in local jobs— entirely beyond the reach of this new federal board It will not be helped by the new law and in fact it will be hurt in so far as the law prevents any considerable ' number of southerners from earning their living in Interstate commerce The south has been the victim these many years of the foreign tariffs established by the northern Republicans It will be the irony of ironies if the Democratic party now adds to the tariff which discriminates so heavily against southern agriculture an Internal tariff disguised as a law against sweating which discriminates against
