bring about q fairer distribution Of
wealth nor restore competition, was
the argument of Senator Weeks. Of
Massachusetts,, in a speech packed
with statistics which he delivered in
the upper House today
He declared that the recent increase
IN the cost of living was chiefly due
10 the growing density OF population
although he said that the American
workingman can buy twice as many
necessaries of lite with an hours
wage today than he cpuld century
ago. The British workingman can
buy less than the American and the
German less than the Englishman.
with his wages, the Senator asserted
The effect OF tariff reduction. he pre-
dicted, would be 10 curtail the run
ming time Of American mills, thereby
reducing sharply the income Of the
workman, who in turn could buy less.
This would I'm turn cause prices TO
fall, and the factories must again re-
duce their output
In this connection. Senator Weeks
alluded to the threatened investiga
tion by the department Of commerce
into the closing Of any factories in
order TO force wage reductions, and
described the manufacturers as be
tween the devil and the deep sea-
He suggested that Secretary Redfeld
investigate the reported intention of
Governor Foss of Massachusetts. with
whose business the secretary was
fully familiar, to move his plant TO
Canada.
