IsA BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

One point in the imbrogho that oe-
mands for further increases In wages
has brought prominently forth is tha'
increases in wages have been followed
by decreases in production.
Increased wages do not necessarily
argue increase in production. lncreas-
ed cost Of living to be met by incfeas-
ed ability 10 buy necessities Of life is
enough to justify wage increases Il
there were no other reasons TO De al
yanced. But increased wages oughl
not to bring decreased production IL
is pointed out that 100000 more raii-
way workers receiving greatly increas-
ed pay arc delivering less transporta-
ton.
II Is also true in the other great III
dustry-steei-that increased wages
have not increased production but tha'
production has decreased. 1t has not
held it's own under the higher pay
The steel worker under present wages
produces fifty-two tons of steel per an
mum. where, under the lower wages
he delivered sixty-two tons.
1t doesn't make great deal Of ali
ference whether the railways are own
cd by public or by private capital. In
either case the employer has rign'
to a quid pro quo for the wage PAID
However much official mismanage-
ment, neglect and incompetence have
had to do with the falling off in pro-
duction of transportation the figures
stand that with more employees al
vastly greater pay less has been de-
hyered. Most Of the railroads were
paying some return to the owners when
under private control. To-Day the uui-
ted States is paying huge deficiencies
In taxation and raised rates.
The problem is one TO be considered
without passion or prejudice by the
public and by the workers who are
part Of that public and part re-
sponsible to the public as such. The,
are not a class to be set apart from
other workers and from other mem
bers Of the public. The president tells

nor feasible to take care of wage in

portation rates. If it Is not wise OF

The next morning was so lovely that
many OF the little animals who had
been up all night waited around the
beautiful Murmuring Brook ana
around Mirror Pond.
The Porcupines were eating alders
along the bank OF the brook and as
many lilypads as they ccould reach.
Jimmie Coon and Teddy Possum were
eating fresh water mussels.
There was no wind and there were
many smooth places in the brook and
dragon flies were dartins here and

Now and then fish made ripple
in the smooth surface OF the water.

would have been in quarter century
without the war" declares the Cedar
Rapids Gazette. IF legislation can be
enacted and inforced that will bring
living costs down to level at all APP
preaching the normal, the wage Garner
will find himself far better Off than
he was before the war. But II wages
keep on going up, so win the living
costs. with the eventual result that
the whole industrial fabric will col
lapse. Living costs then would drop

would be the first to fall. 1t would
be far better to keep wages where they
are and knock down the living cost"
