both up and down in erratlc fashion
real wages tend pretty steadily t.
rise. They go down very little a.
my time. and 90 alweys more IN
than down over a long series OF
years. II you were to plot curve
of real wages for a century it would
Zee more striking still. The curves
shown in the diagram represent the
fluctuations in English prices and
wages. American statistics are very
imperfect. But the curves of Amerl-
can prices and wages would exhibit
in the main the same features Of pro-
file. and the law is the same in both
cases. Since the beginning of the
modern mechanical era, starting, let
us say. with the nineteenth century,
real wages have been tending re-
markablv to rise. We reproduce the
following table from Palgrave's Die
tionary of Political Economy, showing
i'm contrast the fluctuations of Eng
lish wages and prices for more than
century past, which, as we have
said. would synchronize with the
fluctuations in American wages and

trail Powers with rapidly organizing the
underground work IN Serbia. Under
the general military government Of
Austria was created a section of mines.
which has been prospecting the noun
tains of Serbia. A laboratory was es-
tablished at Belgrade. In the vicinity
Of Chabatz the mines of Dorspotok.
near Kruplnj, property of the Austro-
Hungarian railways. are worked for an
timony. At Rudnik the military au-
thoritles are taking out lead and COP
per. In the neichborhood Of Belgrade
the mines Of Cavcni Breg will soon
yield lead. but the most important lead
mine worked by the military authori-
ties is that of Babe, whence is derived
9a.ly a car Of lead and 100 cars of ore
which is treated in the WORKS of the
interior.

begins TO be felt. The purchasing
power of labor in a mass is lessened.
II then becomes necessary 10 in
crease money wages in order to re-
store real wages. If money wages
are not raised and the decline in real
wages is allowed to continue, distress
will ensue. 1t is very unintelligent
not to keep real wages up, for if
people are able to buy less the de-
mand for goods is checked. simply
because those who consume them
cannot buy them, and prosperity at
length fails. There is what is err
roneously called over-production, but
which ought really to be called under
consumption.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-27

prices, but, if experience holds, money
wages will fall relatively little. When
prices fall faster than money wages,
as Invariably they tend to do, the
profits of capital are reduced. That
is the incentive to greater efficiency of
production. And it is because capt.
tai finds the means to produce goods
more cheaply, in order to pay higher
money wage and still make a profit,
that it is possible for real wages to
rise. So, perhaps in awkward conse-
quence of the abnormal things that
are now taking place, the command
of the wage Garner over the goods OF
the earth will be doubled again in the
twentieth century.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-27
consumption.

Although the terms are very sell
dom clear, nearly the whole OF the
chronic feud between capital and
labor is over the disparities that oc-
cur between money wages and real
wages. A rise in prices, money
wages remaining stationary, is
hardship upon labor, because its buy
ing power is reduced. A fall IN
prices. money wages remaining sta
tionary, is a hardship upon capital,
because its profits are reduced and
sometimes extinguished. The capt.
talist knows that a rise in prices is
very likely to be followed by a fall;
wherefore he is reluctant to increase
the wage scale. 1t is easier to raise
it than to lower it again. The la
borer knows only that when prices
rise his dollars buy less than before,
and he Justly demands more dollars,
in order that his real wages, which
are measured in goods, shall remain
unimpaired. In a very intelligent
world prices would not be allowed to
90 up and down in this wild, eccen-
trio manner. In a world not intel
ligent enough to solve that problem
and vet a little more intelligent than
this world really is, there would be
only one kind of wages, namely, real
wages. The dollars in the pay en-
velope would be increased or de-
creased accordingly as prices went
up or down, so that the laborer's
over goods should remain
constant. A banking institution in
Wall Street has attempted something
of this sort. It's statisticians have
determined that the cost of living
has increased about 81 per cent,
81 per cent has been
added TO the money wage Of the en-
ployes, and by that means their real
wage is restored to what it was be-
fore the rise in the price of things
Tor which money is spent.

II is absurd that there should be
two kinds of wages. Nevertheless, II
is a fact. When we speak of money
wages we mean the number OF dol
lars the laborer receives in his pay
envelope. When we speak OF real
wages we mean the amount of goods
those dollars will buy. If the num-
Der of dollars in the pay envelope re-
r ms the same and the price OF
eve rything that the dollar buys has
increased. then we say that money
wages are stationary and real wages
have fallen, because the same num-
Der of dollars will buy less goods than
before.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-11-27

In its deferred social consequences
the most momentous thing now hap
pening in the world is the rise in
money wages. 1t is occurring in all
countries, differing only in degree,
and the causes are everywhere the
same, namely, one, sudden and I'M
perative demand for the products of
labor, and, two, a relative decrease
in the amount of labor available,
owing to the manner in which war
drains men off from industry and ag-
riculture. The rise is not confined
to organized labor. Corporations
have voluntarily increased the money
wages of their unorganized employees.
This has been done in no altruistic
spirit. 1t is necessary in the first
place 10 hold ones labor against the
competition of other employers will
ing to pay higher wages, and it has
been recognized, in the second place,
that the efficiency Of labor is adj
versely affected by a decline in its
purchasing power. Last week the
United States Steel Corporation an
nounced an increase of 10 per cent
in money wages. That was the third
this year, making 30 per cent in all,

Statisticians have a method of
showing facts and events in profile,
50 that they may be visualized. First,
on the left, in a vertical position they
establish "ordinates," or the degrees
of variation. Then there is base
line, on which divisions of time are
marked. Beginning at some point,
or degree, on the vertical line at the
left a line is drawn to represent any
thing you like-the price of wheat,
the death rate, the percapita con-
sumption of beer, or wages. That
line is called "the curve" It goes
up and down, as the changes are.
You will see it in the accompanying
diagram, which shows you the curve
of real wages, money wages, prices
and unemployment, from 1850 to
1910 in England. You can trace by
these curves the disparities we are
talking of-how sometimes prices
have risen faster than'money wages,
so that real wages have fallen, and
how at other times prices have fallen
faster than money wages, so that
real wages have risen. You will no.
tice also a very important fact,
namely, this, that although prices go

Lord Shaughnessy, president of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, on arriving
in London a few days ago, said that
Canada has a great amount of sur
plus farm lands to offer after the war
to returned soldiers who may want to
settle down. He called attention to
the fact that the Canadian Pacific
Railway has formulated a scheme for
the preparation of farms in Canada OF
a size suited to the localities in which
they are situated. to be equipped with
buildings and fences and to be offered
% ex-soldiers who may wish to ac-
ouire them on a twenty years pur-
chase system.

What happens is clear enough.
When prices rise, money wages tend
TO rise at a slower rate. When prices
fall. money wages tend to fall at a
slower rate. Real wages, therefore,
tend pretty steadily % rise. Only
once. according to this table, through
all the rise and fall Of money wages,
did real wages fall, and that was IN
the period of 1890 TO 1910, when both
prices and money wages rose, but
when prices rose so much faster than
money wages that real wages actual
" fell. This was the period OF the
Napoleonic wars. The same thing is
happening again. Money wages are
rising fast, but prices are rising fast
er still. and real wages are tending to
fall. The reason money wages tend to
fall less than prices, in a period of
falling prices, is the same reason for
which they tend to rise less than
prices in a period Of rising prices.
We have discussed it already. Wages
are less flexible than commodity
prices. They are harder to change,
and for psychological reasons which
may be added, it is harder to reduce
than to increase them. People
clamor to get their wages raised.
They protest against having them
reduced, for any reason.
