WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONED
Fair Tariff League Head Says Beets
Are Not Important American
Crop.
By H. E, MILES,
Chairman of the Fair Tariff League.
Sugar In the beet, the product of
the farm, Is given a protection of H%
ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill
now before Congress.
Refined sugar, the product of the
beet sugar factory, is protected with
a specific rate equivalent to from 80%
to 100% ad valorem on the basis of
present prices,
For example, the Michigan sugar
factory receives a prohibitive protec-
tion against the importation of the
product of the Canadian sugar factory,
but the Michigan sugar beet farmer
recelves practically no protection
against the Canadian sugar beet.
In view of this farmers are asking
if the 60% Increase in the tariff on
Cuban raw sugar contained In the
Fordney Tariff Bill is an effort to pro-
tect the farmer or an effort to pay a
further bonus to an already sufficient-
ly protected beet sugar industry.
All farmers use sugar. They usually
buy it in 100 pound sacks. Every time
a farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays
$2.00 as the result of the tariff on
sugar. Half of this goes to the Gov-
ernment and half of it to the beet
sugar manufacturer.
This is true because we consume in
this country twice as much sugar as
we make, but the price of sugar to the
farmer is the Cuban price plus the
tariff. But the farmer pays this price
on both the domestic sugar and the
foreign sugar. Therefore the farmer
pays half of this tax to the Govern
ment and half to the manufacturer of
beet sugar In this country.
Sugar Beets a Minor Product
The farmer might feel that he was
getting some benefit out of this If the
raising of sugar beets was actually an
Important American agricultural pur-
suit. This, however, is not the case.
The crop acreage of sugar beets for
1920 was 692,455. The crop acreage
for peanuts was 1256,000, almost dou-
ble the acreage devoted to the cultiva
tion of sugar beets.
The following table indicates the
importance of the acreage devoted to |
sugar beets as compared with certain
other crops:

Even those farmers who raise sugar
beets might properly ask In what way
their interests are being protected by
an increase in the duty on Cuban
sugar. It Is currently rumored that
the contract price paid the farmer for
sugar beets during the coming season
will be from $5.00 to $5.50 a ton.
The average pre-war price with the
tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately
the price that will be patd farmers
during the coming season with the
tariff increased 60%.
Very few farmers grow wool, but all
farmers wear clothes. American grown
wool, the product of the Ameriggn
farm, 1s one of the chief rallying cries
of the high tariff exponent.
Fallacy of Wool “Protection”
Farmers are clad In mid-winter
mostly In cotton and shoddy, and yet
the woolen manufacturer today Is
given 45 cents a pound protection on
the entire welght of the farmers
clothing on the basis that it-is all wool.
He passes this additional cost on to
the farmer, but gives the wool grower
about one-third of tls 45 cents In In-
creased price of wool.
A foreign plece of men’s sulting
weighing eighteen ounces to the yard
18 40% cotton, 80% wool and 30%
wool shoddy, costing on the present
rate of exchange $1.09 a yard. A com-
parable domestic fabric costs $1.75.
Under the Fordney Tariff the duty
would be 24% of this $1.75, or 42c;
the weight duty at 39¢c a pound, 33%c,
and the landing charge 9%c, making
the foreign fabric cost here $1.95.
Under the present Emergency Tariff,
with its 45¢ & pound weight duty, the
fabric would cost $2.98 as against the
American price of £1.73.
The wool grower would get 15¢ pro
tection per pound instead of the 45:
weight duty, the manufacturer keep-
ing 80c of the welght duty, but charg:
ing the farmer who buys clothing the
full 45¢.
The American farmer should be In-
terested to find out why it is that his
common agricultura! implements man
ufactured in the United States can be
bought for less by the European farm-
er than he has to pay for them,
thanks to the protective tariff. For
instance, he should inquire why he
has to pay $8.91 a dozen for a shovel
manufactured in this country while
the identical shovel exported can be
nought In Europe for-$7.50.
With these facts in mind it Is time
that the American farmer let himself
be heard In protest against a protec
tive tariff which most emphatically
does not glve him a square deal.

CHILD AND ALIEN
LABOR IN BEETS
American Farm Worker Not Pro-
tected by Sugar Tariff.
LOW WAGES ARE BEING PAID
“Yankees Not Wanted,” Say Field
Managers in Cotorado and
Michigan.
By H. E. MILES,
Chairman of the Fair Tariff League.
The American farmer and the
American worker are always the chief
objects of solicitude, put forward by
the high tariff politicians, when an up-
ward revision of the tariff is in order.
That has always been true and Is now
true In Congress in connection with ef-
forts to enact the high rates in the
Fordney so-called Permanent Tariff
Bill.
The farmer as well as the worker,
however, has come to realize that any
benefit he may derive from an exorbi-
tant tariff, levied In the name of pro-
tection on an article which he pro-
duces, 1s more than offset by the
tribute which he must pay on artl-
cles which he consumes but does not
raise,
Sugar 18 a good example of how this
works out with reference to the farm-
er. The American beet sugar Industry
prospered under a protective tariff of
one cent a pound on Cuban raw sugar.
The Emergency Tariff Act Increased
this 60 per cent. One of the arguments
advanced for this tremendous Increase
was that the beet sugar Industry need-
ed this protection In order to protect
the American farm laborer engaged In
raising sugar beets.
Unfortunately for this argument
there Is very little American farm labor
in the beet sugar Industry as the rec-
ords of the Department of Labor and
the Department of Agriculture show.
Sugar beets are ralsed and harvested
almost entirely by the cheapest grade
obtainable of foreign labor, contracted
for by the sugar manufacturers and
turned over to the beet growers,
Field bosses In the beet sugar sec-
tions have Indeed frequently told in-
vestigators that American labor IS not
wanted because “a Yankee can't stand
the hard work.”
Child Labor In Majority
|
Not only is the larger part of the
beet sugar labor this low priced for-|
elgn labor which we are warned
against but even a larger part are the |
children of these foreign families. |
In Colorado alone, one of the most |
fmportant heet sugar states, the Na- |
tional Child Labor Committee found
5,000 children between the ages of six |
and fifteen years, practically all of |
alien parents, regularly engaged In the !
cultivation of sugar beets.
From the time the beets are In the
ground until they are delivered at the|
bor is required. Ayd much of this Is
done by small children, These children
spend long, hard hours on their hands
and knees weeding and thinning the |
beets. Then when the heets are full
grown they spend more long, hard
hours lifting the Leavy roots to thelr
knees and with a wide sweep of a dan-
gerously sharp lenife cut off the tops.
The Federal ('Lilhien’s Burean made
an Intensive study of ¢he Colorado sit-
nation. Of 1,077 Included in this study
seven-tenths were the children of con-
tract lahorers. Over one-fourth of
them were under ten years old, a small
percentage under eight, Less than
one-fifth were as much as fourteen
vears old. Considergbly over a half
ranged from nine to thirteen. Fron
69 to 85 per cent, according to the
process in which the child was engag-
ed, worked nine hours or more a day
From one-seventh to one-third, again
varylng with the process, worked
eleven hours or more a day. The
average working day for all processes
was usually between nine and ten
hours.
Evil Effect on Children
Postural deformities and malposi-
tions were fofind in 70 per cent of the
children examined by the Bureau's
physicians, Another serious effect Is
the Interference with thelr educa-
tion. Among 930 children from
nine to sixteen years of age for whom
school records were obtained over 40
per cent were from one to seven years
below the normal grade for their age.
The general study of the Natlonal
Child Labor. Committee In Colorado
and Michigan Indicates that these con-
ditions hold generally throughout the
beet ralsing sections. A farmer who
owns or leases land contracts with the
sugar company to furnish a certain
number of acres on which beets are to
be grown, The company agrees to fur-
nish the hand laber. The company
then contracts with a laborer, usually
a Russian, Jap or Mexican, to do the
work on a definite number of acres.
The number of acres a laborer con-
tracts to care for is based largely on
the number of children he has,
The labor employed In the Colorado
beet fields is practically all foreign la-
bor, Mexican, Japanese and Russian
The Mexicans and Japanese, however,
do not work their children as much as
do the Russians. The Russian chil-
dren often hegin work as early as four
or five years of age.
In Michigan conditions are very sim-
flar, excepting that the nationalities
of the workers are more diversified,
and there are fewer Russians and Mex-
lcans and no Japanese. They are
made up largely of Hungarlans, Slavs
from the small prov’'nces, Polish and
Germans. In Michigan, as in Colora-
do, the beet people are exploiting the
toreign laborer and his children.
All of which prett; thoroughly punc-
tures any pretense that a high tariff
on sugar will In any way protect Amer
{can farm labor.
