more pay and it has been interested in
the Improvement of the conditions Of
the wage Garner. But when the pub
lie learns that the laborer is not re-
spending to the advantages that have
been given him and is really giving less
labor for his greatly increased compen
sation this same sense of fairness will
cause reversal of feeling. The pub
lie finally has to pay all these increases
in the cost of production and it will
not support such a one sided and I'M
fair deal
These findings by this business or
ganization condemn unionism and its
results in such an effective manner that
their influence will be seriously di,ni-
nished. They will strengthen the claim
made in these columns a few DAYS ago
that the proper way to deal with labor
is through the combination of the good
employees and the management directly
with each other free from outside in
huence.

MORE PAY, LESS WORK.

The Corn Exchange Bank of Phila-
delphia has made an investigation of
the pay and product of labor that
shows some very interesting facts. In
large manufacturing plant in Phil
adelphia the product per man per hour
has decreased one third since the be.
ginning of the war but, under exactly
the same working conditions and dur
ing the same period, the wages of the
men have increased 100 per cent. Tho
bank reports that an investigation Gov.
ering several states shows that since
the beginning of the war the wage per
man per hour has increased 240 per cent
while the product per man per hour is
only sixty-two per cent of what it was.
This finding nullifes the claim of
men that they can produce as much
in an eight hour as in nine hour dav
or that increased pay will bring in
creased labor. 1t also shows where a
very large item in the increased cost of
living lies. 1t also tends to confirm the
statement of E. H. Gary that unionism
kills industry.
One wonders whether or not such
sharp bargaining will permanently ben
eft the laborers. Probably it will not.
The advance of wages, shortening of
hours and other improvements in the
conditions of labor bava heor c,,;4o
largely brought about by the sympa-
thy of the public with the laboring
man. The public has felt it was only
fair the working man should receive

Allen T. Treadway, who will preside
over today's Republican state conven-
ton in Massachusetts and deliver the
address which will sound the keynote
for the campaign in that state this
fall, is the representative in congress of
the first Massachusetts district. His
home is at Stockbridge, in the heart of
the Berkshires, a district that has
turned out many especially fine men.
Mr.. Treadway was in the Massachusetts
legislature from 1904 to 1911, and for
three years of this time was president
Of the state senate. His record as a
parliamentarian was more than ordin-
airy, and when he went to congress in
1913, he went as man well versed in
he process of making laws. He was
born at Stoekbridge in 1867 and re-
ceived his education at Amherst col
lege.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

There is increasing evidence that con
gress will seriously undertake to es-
tablish budget system to control the
financial work of the government, ap-
oarently at the December session of
congress. Senator Keyes of New
Hampshire in an interview says a bud
get system is the only sensible method
by which the government expenses can
be met and unless the country is run
on business principles we shall encoun-
ter an Indebtedness which will make
the burden of taxation unbearable. The
United States is the only country in
the world running its government OF
such haphazard financial plan.
Under the present plan there is a
great deal of duplication, a great deal
Of over reaching by different depart
ments and by individual congressman
for the benefit of their home districts.
Committees working independently can
not limit government operations in gen
eral The agricultural department gets
all it can induce the committee of ap-
riculture to grant and the same is true
of the other departments of govern
ment. No committee knows how much
other committees will ask for and the
result is congress of many billions
where few billions is all that can be
profitably. expended.
There will be one serious difficulty in
establishing a budget system that will
regulate and limit government expen.
diture-and that is bringing the mem
bers of congress themselves into sub
mission to the commission or board that
will fix and limit government expendi,
lures. Unless congress takes the powe,
of making appropriations completely
from the various committees there will
be endless appeals of various depart
ments to their committees for great
er appropriations. If congress will
give some central authority complete
power to limit departmental activities
we shall get the sensible method of
conducting government business.
