An Industrial Buffer.

1'robaby the most satisfactory ac-
compllShmcnt of the trades union
movement during the year was that it
acted as buffer against wholesale wage
reductions. Heretofore during indus
trial depressions one Of the first moves
or the captains of industry was to cut
ana slash into wages in the hope of
restoring industrial activity by cheap
er production, overlooking the little
common sense proposition that the
lower the wages the fewer the pur-
chasers' ana consequently the depres-
sion was prolonged. For the first time
IN history the wage standards in the
various trades have been fairly we'll
maintained, and as a result much con-
fusion and suffering have been avoid
ed and general resumption of bust
ness made easier" Such was one of
the declarations made ut the big Amer.
icah ederauon of Labor convention.
