PITTSBURG, Aug. 2S.-Among

Congressman Carss Gets at the
Bottom Of Things; Would
Clear Up Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Repre-
sentative W L. Carss Of Minnesota,
member of the. house committee on
labor, introduced in congress last
week, at the request of the National
Federation of Federal Employees. a
resolution which its advocates believe
will effectually dispose of what they
ter mthe vicious fal1acy that labor
costs represent the chief item in the
increased cost of living.
Just what the does the labor cost
amount to on the principal items in
the cost of living? '"The answer to
that question:" says Mr. Carss, will
put us in better position to deal ef-
fectively with the problem Of the high
cost of living. because it will help
the people to protect themselves
against the profiteers. At present al
most anybody's statement about the
cost Of labor can get by. because the
subject has not been studied. But
there's something more than labor
costs behind the fact that prices al
ways rise before wages rise, and IL
ways rise far higher in proportion
than wages. We must go after the
real cause. and not unthinkgly charge
it all up to labor
Asks for Labor Costs.
The proposed resolution is as fol-
lows: '''-
"'Resolved, by the house OF repre-
sentatives, that the President Of the
United States be requested to- furnish
the house with such information as
may now be in the possession of the
federal trade commission. which will
identify or tend to identify the pro-
portion that labor costs forms in the
total cost of production of coal, steel,
copper, oil. cement, lumber, paper,
cotton textiles. flour. meat. canned
goods and other important COM
modities as to which it may have
such information, and which it may
readily supply. together with explana-
ton pertinent to the data furnished"
President Luther c. Steward of the
National Federation of Federal E,n-
ployes states that 'in the cost of pro-
ducing sugar. for example, according
to the tariff commission. the cost of
agricultural and factory labor was
42.4 FER cent of the total cost of pro-
6uction il, 1913. This is ar industry

including hosiery and underwear, the
labor cost is 20 per cent and on
women's muslin underwear p to 25
per cent.
'"These last figures are for 1918, but
materials have continued to soar in
price. We need more facts oc this
kind bought up to date. With such
figures and a study Of the income
and excess profit tax returns it should
be easy to locate the profiteers.'

Left Wing Of Socialist Party
Plans Votes for Dictatorship
Of ProIetarjat,

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The left
wing of the Socialist party has given
up it's fight to capture the national
convention to be held here Saturday,
and has united with other radicals. for
the formation of the Communist
Party of America" to be held in Chi
cago, Labor Day. A call has been
issued by I. E. Ferguson, secrtary of
the National Left Wing council and
Dennis E. Bait. secretary of the Com
munist organization.
The call declares for the ''abolition
of private property in the means of
production and distribution by trans
fer to Droletarian state under So
cialist administration of the working
class. 1t further declares that the
party favors international alliance
with the Communist groups of other
countries such as the BolsheviSts of
Russia and the Spartacans of Ger
many"
THE present world situation" it
continues, demands the closest rela-
tion between the revolutionary pro-
letariat of all countries. We are op-
posed to association with other groups
not committed to the revolutionary
class struggle. such as Labor parties.
non-partisan leagues. peoples coun-
ellis, municipal ownership leagues, and
the like.
"The party shall propaganda class
conscious industrial unionism as
against craft unionisnn. and. shall
carry on party activity in cooperation
with industrial disputes that take on
revolutionary character" the call
continues. I'VE maintain that the
class struggle is essentially a political
struggle by the proletariat to conquer
the capitalist state. whether it's form
be monarchistic or democratic-repub-
lican, and to destroy and replace it by
a governmental structure adapted to
the Communist transformation"
