Let y. S. Limit Profits,
:: Says Frayne; Enormous
Burden Killing Workers

the American workingman has not
sufficient earnings to meet the in
creased cost of livelihood. And +
venture to say that the American
workingman and his family are so
per cent underfed. The high prices
have caused him to; deny himself
many common necessities.
$50 today any word Of radicalisn1
that is spoken meets a sympathetic
ear. Any word, no matter how rad
ical, is approved in each labor
group, very often by a majority,
often indeed by the entire group. It
is a serious situation. :.
I'VE have today higher profits
than have ever been witnessed in the
history of the nation. Values are
inflated beyond all rhyme and rea-
son. The cost of everything is quite
out of sight. The American dollar
has shrunk in purchasing power to
it's former purchasing power. How
much better it would be if the
American dollar could be made to
stand for 125 or $50 per cent!
when we go to buy necessities
we are told that the demand from
other countries for our goods keeps
the prices up. Yet we have incon-
sistent spectacle of American-made
shoes shipped to foreign countries at
ridiculously low prices in order to
stimulate foreign trade! Good shoes
here today cost s12, SIS, even $40
pair. We're selling them to other
countries at $3.50 and IS pair.
Forobidding Needed Articles.
"Would it not seem just to forb bid
the expectation of American products
before the domestic demand was
filled? If we had a chance here to
enjoy the same prices that consum-
ers of American goods pay in for
eign countries we would still leave
the producer handsome profit.
How much is fair and reason
able profit? I should put it at from
6 to 10 per cent. Why not? We are
| limiting the legal rate of interest
which a bank may charge on money
loans to 6 per cent. If it is legal
and proper to regulate the banks
! why isn't it legal and proper to limit
the amounts of profits on all COM
modities to from 6 to 10 per cent?
"They ask me whether I would
limit the price of labor, too. And my
| answer is, no, that labor is not a
comm odity.
| "They tell us that labor's agita-
| ton for higher wages brings up the
cost of living. Nothing could be
more erroneous. Labor's demands
for more pay are merely in answer
to the ever-growing pressure that is
forcing the workingman to do with
out necessities.

BY VICTOR III. ARNHEM.


NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-Govern-
profits to be made by a manufac-
turerer or producer Of necessities is
the logical cure for the high cost Of
living, according to Hugh Frayne,
eastern representative of the An1eri-
can Federation of Labor, and one
time labor member of the war pur-
chasing and war industries boards.
That is how he solved the riddle
for me when I sought him out in
his office in the heart of the theat-
rical district.
Fright out here" he said, point
ing to the theatrical boarding houses
and playhouses which line the Gay
White Way, 1.-The legitimate actors
went on strike. Think of it: high
priced men and women, stars and
understudies, meeting in the gold
ballroom of the Hotel Aston, if you
was no outside interference. No
foreign agitators' muddled up the
situation. They just got together
and decided they had to strike.
you ask me why? You ask me
why the street car men are out in
Brooklyn, why the cigarmakers are
out, why strikes are in progress in
dozens and dozens of New York
factories; theaters, shops and so
forth?
There is only one answer: the
projectors are reaping the whirl-
! wind Of their mad career Of price
boosting.
Labor Stood Alone.

! honestly to help reconstruct and re.
build the world after the chaos Of
war, what were the others doing
Gouging the public, that's what!
! Labor stood alone in its recon
struction work. Labor's reconstruc

by people who were too busy gettins

HUGH FRAyNE IS EASTERN.
ORGANIZER OF A. F. OF |.

Hugh Frayne is one of the most
able men in the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. He is the fedora
tons eastern representative. His
reputation for sound Judgment is
known throughout the labor move
ment. Employers also know
Frayne's word to be as good "as a
government bond"
Frayne is not given to sensa-
tionalism. He is conservative in
speech. He doesn't say anything
until he is sure he is right. Then
wild horses can't stop him.
AS member Of the war indus
tries board Frayne did exception
ally able work. Also he got an
insight into some things that he
hadn't been able to see before. He
saw some wheels that the average
man never sees because he can't
get close enough to the works.
When Frayne thinks situation
is serious it is a safe bet that he
is right.

There seems to be. no limit to the
trend Of high prices. Everybody
jacks up the price Of his product
and blames it onto somebody else
or something else.
THE politicians dare not act be-
cause they want political favors, or
perhaps because they are hinged up
with somebody that is making part
Of the profits.

WESLEY A. HILL WOULD
LIKE TO MEET SOLDIERS

Wesley A. Hill of Phoenix arrived
in the city a few days ago and has
opened offices for the Fisher Oil cor
poration at 207 West Gold avenue.
Mr. Hill is an eX-soldier, having vol
unteered his services first to the air
corps, which rejected him on account
of his age, and then to the tank corps,
where he was accepted and with
which he served the greater part of
two years. Before entering the army
Mr.. Hill had contracted with the Mar
tin Aeroplane company for four planes
with which he intended to make a
trans-continental flight, after which
the planes were to be used in the
transportation business in Arizona and
southern California, While waiting in
New York for the planes to be de-
livered he became connected with the
Rocky Mountain club and rendered
valuable service to them in hunting
out and helping to entertain over TO-
900 New Mexico and Arizona soldier
boys who were returning from France.
According to Mr., Hill Arizona and
New Mexico were the only states in
the Rocky mountain region that made
an appropriation for the entertain
ment of its soldiers on their return
home. 1t is Mr.. Hills desire to re-
new the acquaintance of any of the
boys who were entertained by the
club. He may be found at his office
from a. m. until p. m.

COAL SITUATION HAS
BEEN RELIEVED SOME

According to reports that have been
received the coal situation has been
relieved to some extent in the city.
The large dealers here have never
been out, but as they were only able
to get very little at time, the situa-
ton looked serious fora few days.
Coal is now being shipped in in bulk
lots and distributed in places where
it is most needed, The Albuquerque

largest coal consumers in the city, re-
ports conditions much improved for
them, as they are now able to get a
car every day, Very few large con-
sumers are reported to be entirely
without, and it is thought these can
be supplied from the stock on hand
