STARTLING PROSPERITY FIGURES
Steel Workers Wages Advance Two
Million Dollars a Month.


In March of this year establishments
in the iron and steel industry of the
United States paid out in wages near
ly $2,O0O,00O more than they paid out
during March OF 1915. These are Off
cial figures made public by the bureau
of labor statistics of the department
Of labor. They show in a startling
way the present unexampled prosperi-
ty of the country.
Reports received by the federal re-
serve board from all parts of the Unit
ed States, and made public in recent
issue of the federal reserve bulletin,
are agreed that the wave of prosperi-
ty in this country is not yet at its
crest. The principal industries are
booked with orders up to their capaci-
ty as well into 1917. Hard times
will cut very little figure in this
years political campaign, therefore.
With wages and profits going up,
the cost of living, at least so far as
food is concerned, appears to be go
ing down. Reports to the bureau of la
for statistics from 735 retail dealers
in A of the principal industrial cities
of the United States covering the prin-
cipal staples articles Of goods show
that for the month from January Is
to February Is, 1916, the price Of
food, taken as a whole, declined two
per cent.
