DOES THIS EXPLAIN WHY
LIVING COST is so HIGHT
tE. c. Rodgers in Joliet News-Heraldl

(E. c. Rodgers in Joliet News-Herald)
1t is admitted that high wages in
crease the cost of living for everyone,
for high wages mean higher prices
than low wages. But high wages are
not solely responsible for the pres
ent higher-than-ever cost of living.
They are not responsible for as much
as 80 per cent. of the price increase
within the past three years.
Who and what, then, is responsible
for the larger slice of the increase?
Profiteers and their profits!
Says Basil NJ. Manly, joint chair
man, National War Labor Board
There has been outrageous prof
iteering in almost every line of COM
mercial activity"
And he goes on to say:
1.-THE American people are in much
the same position as the man who
knows he has been robbed of lot o.
money but does not know exactly how
much he lost or who got away witt
the swag."
Swag in this instance may be trans
lated, enormous profits"
