KEEPING UP WAGES

Every few days labor leaders serve
notice that labor will consent to no
reduction in wages and in the same
breath they advocate shorter hours
Gin order that there may be work for
ALL" Yet they demand reduction in
the cost of living, in retail prices all
round These gentlemen fail to be
consistent. In some crafts labor is
much the largest item in the cost of
manufacture, running as high as 50
per cent. 1t is unreasonable to expect
the living cost to come down material
ly while wages stay at war standards.
We must either be reconciled to mod
erately high prices, or content with
normal wages, and the only way in
which wages can be kept up to the
present standard is by increased pro-
duction. Increased production may,
of course, lower the cost of living at
the same time; that depends on the
amount of increase and the stability
of labor.

START RIGHT

The labor situation in the country
is serious from the standpoint of de-
clining efficiency.
War conditions have proved beyond
the question of a doubt that abnor-
mally high wages and short hours,
granted under stress of circumstances,
to quiet labor trouble and secure help,
have lowered efficiency and produc-
ton, rather than increasing them.
inexperienced help in all lines of
industry has demanded and received
wages entirely out of proportion to
their training or ability to produce.
Incentive to do good work in order to
receive better pay has been lost sight
of as the employer had to take every
thing he could get.
Thus men and women and boys and
girls who have been drawing wages
which their ability and experience did
not warrant, have been led to form
an entirely overestimated opinion as
W Tile Ndlut VI llltlI SCI NlGSS anu uul
ing the wedding out process which is
now taking place, as American indus
try is adjusting itself to meet world
competition, thousands of these mex
perienced employees will find them
selves dropped and they will have to
begin at the bottom of the ladder to
learn the trade at which they have
been drawing experts pay.
It's a bitter pill, but the sooner the
situation is realized and start made
on the right basis, with the knowledge
that only intelligence and experience
can in the long run bring steady and
remunerative employment, the sooner
will each person solve the difficulty
for himself.
Strikes wont help the situation now.

LIQUOR HOLOCAUST IN DETROIT

A dispatch from Detroit states that
that city which has been legally dry
for some time, was recently subjected
to a perfect deluge of whiskey as
result of the decision of the supreme
Court of the State of Michigan declar-
ing that the search and seizure" sec
tions of the state bone dry law are
invalid. Within a few hours after the
courts decision was announced ire
mendous amount of liquor was car
ried by private individuals, in bum
dies, suitcases, ETC., and by street cars,
automobiles, and other vehicles, from
Toledo and other Ohio points to De-
troit. 1t is said that the Dixie high
way, the main thoroughfare between
Toledo and New York, was literally
damned with automobiles ladened with
liquor, and that during this wild rush
for whiskey a number of men were
killed and more than sixty automobiles
smashed. So heavy was the traffic of
whiskey runners on the electric rail-
way between these cities that the De-
troit United Railway company was
forced to change it's schedule and run
three times as many cars as usual, and
even then the traffic was much con-
gested.
OF course, this carrying of liquor
from a wet state into dry one was
clearly a violation of the federal law;
however the representatives of Uncle
Sam seem to have been caught nap
ping, for this wild spree continued
