SpiralIing Wages

The President scawely OverstateS IN
saying to the representatives of the rail
way shopmen when rejecting their wage
demands: "We are face to face with q
situation which is more likely to affect
the happiness and prosperity, and even
the life, of our people than the war it.
SELF
The President indicated little interest
in the special merits of the claims of the
shopmen-did not stop to examine
whether the increases they have been ac-
corded have been equal to those Of other
workmen. He judged their case adverse
ly on the broad grounds Of national
economy and has in mind the general
stoppage Of wage increases until condi-
tions become more normal-until there is
better opportunity to determine whether
advances are justified. A halt had to
occur some time, and the shopmen, COM
ing late, happened to be the first to en-
counter the new policy.
The impossibility of forever spiralling
wages upward will not be challenged, not
even by the aggrieved shopmen. AS
labor costs advance prices must advance,
and the new price level justifes another
wage increase, and this in turn again
pushes up prices-the vicious circle must
burst through distention Inasmuch as
transportation costs more than any other
item constitute tax laid on all con-
sumers, it is logical to ask railroad en-
ployes to be the first to desist from
whirling the public around the ascending
orbit.
The President might have included
other things in his lecture Two grave
errors mark the policies and practices Of
labor organizations. 1t is assumed that
wages are paid out of the profits of CAPT
tai. Only for temporary period does
this occur. Real wages are paid out of
production-this always has been so and
always will be-
There is but one way to add to wages,
and that is to turn out more product per
man. This law may not be agreeable.
but is law just the same, and enforces
itself whether an employer is a person or
a state-whether there is individualism
Or socialism.
A companion heresy is that artiiciallv
to multiply jobs is good thing for labor
The eight-hour day is good thing eco
nomcaily for workers in industries
wherein man is able to do more work
IN short day than long one, but other
wise 1t involves material injury to the
worker. 1t is not possible to have ten
share loaf and have as much to eat az
II there were eight partakers. At q
given time there is an available wooa
fund, heaped up in the total of current
production, and unless the pile is added
to an increase in the number of djviders
decreases the quotient. Mathematical
laws are not repealable.
Another false assumption widely en-
tertained is that the industrial leaders
of America are able to carry any load
put on them. Unfortunately this is not
true. No more than other men can thew
make brick without clay Russia has
found what it means to take away the
wages of management, and if we embark
, on a similar policy we may expect simi-
lar results. Reckless wage demands, if
pressed far enough, will stop American
production, and scarcity prices will pre-
vail, with the individual powerless to
save himself. Those who ask for sober

An investigation whose outcome

The investigation comes as a result
OF the increased cost OF living, and in
order to reduce this high cost, the
department of justice has taken a hand
in the game, giving its agents orders
TO prosecute all food profteers.
AS q result OF this campaign, corn
and other provision prices have drop
