out them the world would not be able to
pay it's debts, was the assertion this
afternoon of Richard H. Edmonds. pub
Usher of the A0nufactvrerS Record, at
the weekly luncheon OF the Rotary Club.
The subject Of Mr.. Edmonds's address
was reconstruction after the war. and
he compared the conditions that existed
in the south after the civil war with
those now existing In Europe.
Those who try to break down the
present high prices" said Mr.. Edmonds.
will invite Bolshcvism. The demand
for labor exceeds the supply. and In the
future the lAborer and clerk will get
higher pay than they have ever had be-
fore. The working classes are going to
continue TO receive the high standard OF
wages set by the war. This will make
higher rates for transportation, and in
the future railroads muSt advance their
rates or there u no hope for them whom

OF high price and we must pay higher
prices for food on account OF tho ad-
vance in the pay OF the labor on the

with money alone, but by credit. High
wages and high rates of pay are the
only means the world has OF carrying
on Its Indebtedness"
