1000 firms with over 100000 employ
ees and total weekly pay roll OF
more than $9,OO0,000 show that In

groups, with the exception of negi-
gible decrease In wages in the manu-
facture of paper. In six of the groups
new high records for wages were
made, and in five of these new high

that the intelligence which controls

is true, represents the great strength
