of $4,000 a year is necessary for the
support of an American family of
five, w. Jet Lauck, consulting eco
nomist for the railroad brotherhoods,
asserted today before the railway
labor board. Mr.. Lauck who yester-
day charged corporate profiteers with
being chiefly responsible for present
living costs, presented today de-
mand on behalf of the 100000 rail
way employees for the establishment
of a minimum wage throughout the
industry. He presented to the board
compilation of budgets on the cost
of living based on studies made I'M
der his supervision and by federal
and state agencies.
Supports His Demands.
His estimate, Mr.. Lauck said, was
supported by government agencies
and quoted the estimate made by
Professor Royal 8. Meeker, commits
sioner of labor statistics, in August,
1919. The estimate was $2,262. The
estimate for May he insisted, should
be 1888.

clared that cthe fundamental cause
of all economic instability, all indus
trial unrest, all Interruptions of pro-
duction and distribution has been

ganized capital and middlemen and
retailers"
In concluding the brotherhood
spokesman requested that the beard
curtail it's examination. of the ques-
ton of what constitutes living wage.

Labor's argument for increased
wages for the 100000 railway work.
ers of the country was concluded be-
fore the railroad labor board by Mr..
Lauck, appearing on behalf OF the
railroad brotherhoods and unions. He
asked a minimum living wage for un-
skilled railroad workersNwith differen-
tials above that for skill, hazard and
responsibility.
Early discussion was urged Mr..
Lauck declaring that delay might re-
suit in serious disturbances to trans
portation.
Chairman Barton announced that
the board will discontinue public
hearings until May IL at Chicago. The
board will hold daily executive SEES
sions until it moves to it's permanent
headquarters in Chicago and begins
