swered, "but the tftk of so doing
would not be difficult.

Inc blind postwar programme in thu
building industry has already been
brought to attention. Some plan
should be formulated for bringing the
three parties involved-the EMPLOYERS,
the workers and the public-together
In a cooperative spirit for Formulating
sound system of economic control.
"A second problem pressing for solu-
tlon Is the control Of the radical ele-
ments in the ranks of labor to-day.
Labor contract breaking has been
common and 9 remedy must be found
for lawless action. The attitude of the
American Federation of Labor and of
Its affiliated bodies is reflected. no
doubt In the almost unanimous vote
OF the recent convention Of the United
Mine Workers sustaining international
ana state officials in depriving twenty
f1ve local unions In Illinois of their
charters for indulging In unauthorized
strikes. After all, does this not all
mean that the labor movement may be
slipping from the control of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor?
Denomination of Industry.
.
Finally, how may a genuine de-
mocratizntion of industry be effected ?
1t Is generally agreed that the new
democracy must be based upon a full
recognition of the right of those who
work to participate in a direct way in
every decision directly concerning their
welfare In industry. A great number
OF corporations I'm addition to provid-
Ing pension funds, disability and acct
dent prevention funds, housing facili-
ties and similar reforms have given
more or less representation to their
employees in the control of their COM
panies. Several New Jersey silk mills
seeking after a plan Of Industrial de-
mocracy have hit upon the novel idea
Of organizing legislative body In the
plant. The organization Is on the
order OF the Congress and state Leg
islatures. The cabinet consists of the
department heads, while the senate
and the house of representatives ara
elected from the working force. Leg
islation may start at any point. but
must pass all the different bodies be-
fore becoming law. The scheme AZ
best is cumbersome. The works coun-
Gil no matter where 1t is created must
not be overorganized. Far more ef-
fective in establishing real Industrial
democracy are the shop committees
created by the War Labor Board in
certain steel mills and machine shops.
The clothing industry, too, has Gre
ated promising form of Industrial de-
mocracy Given the right spirit with
the management and with the workers

Wages and Living Costs---What Is the Cure?

cline only with the cost of living. no
general horizontal scaling of wages
takes place, how, many will inquire
can this country remain in the race
for internationaL-trade and the inter-
national markets of the future. The
relatively unskilled workers have re-
ceived significant increases. Can this
supply of labor. now definitely limited
be automatically increased to bring
wage rates down? An immediate in
crease in the laboring population is
very improbable. Between June 80,
1912, and July 1, 1919, 4.443,051 aliens
entered the United States and 2,426,-
5SS returned, leaving in this country
during the seven years 2,016,463 But
1,5S4,579 OF this gain was made the
first two years and an increase of only
431,S84 has taken place in the FIVE
years since July /, 1914.
THE man power of America, to-day
Is per cent. below normal, has little
prospect of being increased in the i'm
mediate future. Machinery and inven-
ton must meet the issue. The pres
sure of industrial circumstances is
bound to direct the intelligence and
the resourcefulness of the American
mind toward the perfection Of me-
chanical devices. During the civil
war one result of the scarcity of labor
was the application OF labor saving
machinery to agriculture on an un-
precedented scale. In England move
ment is now under way among the
coal operators to introduce labor saw
ing machinery into the mines-'the
iron men already operating in Ameri-
can mines.
an these troubled times 1t is refresh
ing to have the Federal Reserve Board
remind us that we need to revive the
spirit with which we fought the wal
and carry It over into the promotion
of peace. Work and save is the sure
way out. Labor must exert efforts tC

"HE worldwide anxiety with re-
gard to the likelihood of escape
l. this year from epidemic in
huenza and it's attendant ills is quite
natural in view of the fact that the
total loss from influenza during the
nrorress of the war was tremendous
among ell the allied couifrie and in
America many times as great as the
country's loss from war itself, and
that even a conservative estimate OF
the cost of influenza, including time
lost In industry, puts it's gross amount
away in advance of that even of the
great war. The reasons for universal
prevalence Of the epidemic during the
war time have been guessed at
variously and there are many among
the more important of the worlds
scientists who tentatively subscribe to
the belief that the plague was thrust
upon humanity by German scientists
with the sole object of weakening the
industrial activities of their nations
enemies.
will II strike us again?"
Yesterday I put this vital query to
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, who. as Com
missioner OF Health of the worlds
largest city, proved himself during
last years epidemic by keeping the
death rate in his jurisdiction among
the lowest and who now is resolved
to do what may be done toward stimu-
lating an investigation which shall help
toward relieving all humanity of this
great scourge.
Not as Serious as Last Year.
Probably it will not be as serious
as It was last year." he said in answer
to my question. Perhaps this year
there will not be enough cases to
justify the use of the>word epidemic,
but there will be many more than
normal For this belief there is reason
sufficient to warrant every health
official, physician and citizen in the
United States and all the allied nations
in resolving now to take every pos
sible precaution against personal in
fection or Infections spread among
others"
"Have any of the various vaccines
or serums which have been an
nounced proved thoroughly effective3"
inquired.
Real effectiveness of such prepara-
tions is impossible till the causative
germ Of the disease has been discov-
ered," said the eminent expert. Last
K year the Department of Health here
recommended and prepared a number
Of vaccines Experiments with these
in institutions and the army, however,
indicate only that there are likely to
be fewer cases among the vaccinated
than among the unvaccinated. Really
II Is not influenza that has caused
most Of the deaths, but that secondary
pneumonia which follows influenza in
so many cases. So 1t comes to this:
the scientific world. ignorant of the
origin of influenza, at present can only
try to immunize the publios against
this terrible secondary disorder which
in so large a proportion OF cases fol-
lows influenza.
I'VE have had many conferences.
Participating in one of great impor-
lance were DR.. William III. Park, di-
rector of Health Department labora-
tories here a very eminent scientist; ;
DR.. George w. Mccoy, director of the
Hygienic Laboratory of the United
States Public Health service; DR.. NJ.
