business. By stable market" the pub
lie easily understands q market not
subject to price fluctuations. A dis
tinct sign Of manufacturer cost would
not of itself govern definitely the re-
tail price, but it would give the pur-
chaser an idea of the profit taken by
the retailer.
Pyramiding of profits is the result
Of per cent reckonings. The addition
of a dollar per unit at the base mag
nifes when the article has reached the
purchaser into several hundred per
cent by this process. With the raw
material pyramiding from hide to
shoe box there is also pyramiding on
the cost of labor, every handler TAX
ing his toll on the "eost plus" basis
until the preposterous result is reach
ed of goods that actually cost % and
S. to make selling for $40, SIS and $1S.
Not only is the cost greater to the
wearer Of shoes, but the shoes are
not as enduring as before. II there
has been a hundred per cent advance
in shoe cost at the stores there has
been actually at least $50 per cent ad-
vance in cost terms of wearing value.

Submit the Issue!

Indication that the process of ma
tionalization of industries, beginning
with the placing Of the railroads under
q tripartite public ownership and man
agement, may be extended by course
Of successive demands by the workers
in specific lines is afforded by the ar
guments made yesterday before the
House committee considering the bill
for the adoption of the so-called Plumb
plan. 1t was frankly stated that an
effort would be made to unionize the
steel industries, with the evident pur-
pose of securing nationalizing move
ment affecting them, and that the al
ready unionized mining industries
would move in the same direction.
At the same time there was less
threatening attitude ON the part of
those who appeared before the COM
mittee than had been previously in
dicated. Representatives of organ
lied labor deprecated the idea that
the strike would be used as means
to force legislation along the lines Of
naturalization, and declared that if
this Congress does not pass the bill
labor will seek to secure the election
OF Congress that will do so.
Why not let the matter rest upon
tho basis Of an appeal to the country,
without any suggestion of threats,
without any strikea This is a mo-
mentous question, involving practical
y the entire industrial system Of the
United States. 1t should not be de-
cided under pressure Of emergency.
It should be submitted to all the voters
OF the country, with time for thorough
consideration. If the Plumb plan is
economically sound and equitable and
the people want to 60 in for nationali-
xation Of industries, its advocates can
demonstrate its merits in the course of
. campaign.
The present Congress was not
charged by the people with any spe-
cifc mandate to nationalize the rail
roads or any other branch of industry.
The Plumb plan is virtually q new
proposition. It has to be explained
to the majority Of people. It has the
Endorsement Of certain labor organi-
cations. but the people at large have
had no opportunity to study it or to
consider other measures for the adop-
ton Of a federaized control. Haste
In such matter might be much more
destructive than delay.
