Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-11-02

At a time when the coal miners are
striking for an increase Of 60 per
cent in wages and other labor Is i'm
patient and eager to make equally
drastic demands. students OF eco
nomics are wondering where the
workers expect their increased COM
pensation to come from. The world
war upset many things. the econo-
mists concede, but they do not admit
that 1t repealed the ancient law that
increase in. wealth can come only
through the increased creation Of it.
In his address opening the late Ia
mented industrial conference Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson warned labor
that it could improve its standard of
living only by increasing it's pro-
ductive efficiency. No part OF an I'M
proved standard could come out Of the
profits of capital, he said. except where
capital was profitable.
Now comes Prof. Willford I. King
Of the University of Wisconsin, an
economist of recognized integrity of
intellect, with figures to show that II
all the rent, interest and profits were
eliminated and added to wages the
latter would not, at the outside, be
increased over Is per cent. Leaving
out Of consideration the fact that
elimination Of rent. interest and
profit would put an effective stop to

nation. One may hear that search
ty Of material and destruction due
to war are responsible, or that the
expansion of currency and credit
or industrial unrest or the prof.
teering Of interruptions COM
mercial interests or the wasteful
and extravagant buying Of con-
sumers has acted in the role Of
Diabolo. with his magic wand. Pete
and the rest Of us can take our
pick. If the fellows who write the
books about finance and economics
and industry are right, and there
Is no reason to believe that they
are not. Pete ct al. can accept each
of their explanations as contribut-
ing factors to the phenomenon of
ffty-cent dollars.
Thus. in answer to the query
"Why?" the following Illuminating
thought. boiled down from the
above indicated technical trea-
tises, presents itself for reflection.
A dollar is not dollar today be-
cause it is unable to obtain for
Pete or for you or for me a nor

or Goldfish, of ham or hat or house.
of shoes or spuds or sprees. 1t is
unable to do this because the sup
ply Of materials and products has
been reduced during the past five
years. while the supply Of dollars
has been increased. This condi-
ton, we are told. has been aggra-
waited by the proneness of certain

all industrial progress and develop
ment, where the 60 per cent increase
in wages Is to come from 1t diff
ficult to discern.
1t is conceded, Of course. that In
creases of wages. as expressed merely
in dollars, might go on indefinitely,
but unless the increases can be meas
ured in actual increased enjoyment
of goods, labor is not getting any
where toward a higher standard Of
living.
On the subject Of the production
of goods. Dr.. King has the following
to say. and it is mighty wholesome
reading at the present time:
ut would seem improbable that.
with our present national productive
power, any feasible system of dis
tribution could increase the average
wage-earner's income in purchasing
power by more. than one-fourth. and
this is an extreme rather than a mod
crate estimate. While such q change
might or might not be desirable. it
would, at least, work no startling
revolution in the condition of the en-
ployes of the United States. The
grim fact remains that the quantity
the income of labor and that no re-
form will bring universal prosperity
which IL not based fundamentally
upon increasing tho national income.
Nature refuses to yield her bounty ex-
cept In return for effort expended. De-
mands for niger wages have never yet
unlocked her storehouses."
