Wage Reduction

Allen Declares

The worst labor troubles Of years are

$2.75 a day, where a general wage OF
SO was paid before the signing of the
armistice, Reports are coming into
the agency that a general cut of 6O
cents a day for labor Is proposed.
with the cost of living at its pres
ent elevation and with no hope OF any
marked reduction at an early date, a
cut in wages would be disastrous to the
interests of the community" Chairman
Allen declared. "On such a wag 1t is
almost impossible for workers to live
and If 1t should be brought into gem
eral effect the labor troubles that would
arise would be unending
Aside from untold hardships on the
men who worked at such a SCALE there
would be countless strikes by laborers
who objected to working for these
wages and the employers would have
much difficulty. In obtaining men to
perform work that Is necessary.
There Is no questioning the fact that
closing down of some war Industries
has thrown more men Into the labor
market, but men at Is to q cents an
hour are unobtainable. .
we have no assurance that this cut
will actually take place, but the per-
sistenCy Of the rumors Is sufficient to
give cause for alarm. Every effort
must be made to keep wages some
