About twenty five years ago the skill

Today. owing to the development In
machinery the wage Garner has been
able to double and In many industries
even treble his former output Wages,
however, have not increased In pro-
portion TO the wage earner's increased

receives for ten hours of labor rec

Back In the eighties 1t was impossi-

then, should we today be perplexed at
his inability to buy back $40 product

might add that just in proportion
to the development OF machinery that
vast gulf now existing between the
producer and his product is ever wild
