There is a consensus Of opinion
among those who have made a study
of the industrial situation that troub-
lous times are ahead. A gradually
falling market and steadily increasing
wages have created a situation where
large employers Of all kinds have
found it necessary to call a halt. A
great many men are being laid of by
railroads and manufacturers, especially
unskilled laborers, and many en-
declare that the maximum
limit of wages has already been passed.
