THE TRUTH

A. Barton Hepburn, chairman o
the advisory board of the Chase NJ
tional bank, lays emphasis on tn
point that the cost of production an
the cost Of living have continued in
creasing since the armistice with un
abated vigor we cannot" h,
says. continue to reduce the hour
OF labor and still supply the quan
tity of goods which the world dc
mands We cannot continue to il
crease the cost of production and still
be able to compete with other ne
tions in the markets of the world
These causes viii operate to curtai
business. Men will not make good
that they cannot sell at profit
That there Will be in the not distan'
future a curtailment OF business am
a recession in cost and prices is in
evitable."
The truth of the above statemen
is so plain that it can be seen by :
man without eyes The eXtraordir
airy activity which has been main
tanned in all our industries since th'
armistice was signed, at record break
ing wages to the workers, has ONLY
been possible by reason of this coun
try supplying the world with the nee
essities of life. This market for ou'
wares will be closed just as soon &.
the old countries begin to produce
their own wares. which will be in th'
near future. and then men who ar.
now demanding $40 per day and sir
hours work viii be glad to accep
work at any price that will provide
them with the necessarios of life.

plores industrial disturbance affect
ing the prosperity of the market. and
as an employer he is out of sympa-

unreasonably shortened hours. The
agriculturists. who form nearly
third OF our population, are and have
need tt bc i conservative force in

tic measures as a means to secure
