Price and Was &c

NO MATTER whether man
M works for day wages or for
- ' salary, his interest in the rate
of pay IS of secondary importance.
His first and most important con-
sideration is whether or not his pay
will provide for the needs of his
family, with something over. And
by needs We do not mean a bare
existence. Every man who takes
,his place in industry. whatever
that place may be, and does his share
of the worlds work, is entitled to
more than a bare existence. He is
Eentitled to a return for his effort
(which will supply all needs with
enough more to care for emergencies
and provide for old age.
The amount OF pay received.
therefore, becomes important only
in its relation to the cost of the
things he must buy. IF a man gets
$4,000 a month and can 60 out
into the market and buy the things
which he needs for $40 90, he has a
Ichance to get ahead. But if he gets
i$25000 a month and prices are such
that it takes 100000 to pay for the
things which he and his family
should have, he is in an impossible
situation. On the one hand he is
contended and happy with the low
wage; on the other he is in despair
with the high wage. Therefore.
our statement that the rate of wages
As secondary, the question of real
importance being the relation that
earnings bear TO cost Of living.
But what fixes this cost OF living?
What makes food, clothing. rent, etc.
high or low in price? The wages
and profits of those engaged in the
production and distribution of these
things. If wages Of those who
woS- for transportation companies
those who work in the industries
which produce equipment for trans
portation -locomotives, cars, motor
trucks, etc, are high, then trans
portation viii be high. The cost
of transportation influences the price
of all commodities, as nothing which
enters into our needs escapes the
necessity of transportation, local
or otherwise, either as raw material
or finished product-and the con-
sumner pays the freight
