Within a short time. as I have been informed. a gentleman has started the business of making gunnybags in one of our Eastern cities. He has built his structure. obtained his machinery. and he pays women employ6s 80 cents to $1 a day. men $1.25 and $1.50. Yet with this highpriced labor he has almost gotten control of the gunnybag market in South America and this country. He says if you will let him have jute free he will undersell the Indian pauper labor in the streets of Calcutta itself. When the markets of the world are all opened to us. what kind of labor do we want to compete with? Shall it be labor better paid. more intelligent. more productive than ours?
