During all the years that I have man

had an accurate record kept of the averages
OF the wages paid during each week. 1t ia
on interesting thing to go over this record
and see what n tremendous increase has been
made in the wages paid to workers from 1886
until the present time. The average wage
paid for the first week Of January OF 1856
was Sl2.5O. and the highest average weekly
wage paid between that date and August,
1S03. was Sl4.37. with n grand average
wage, paid during that period of approx.
mately S1325. Then during November,
1S!'3, the average weekly wage paid was
only S7l2. That. of course was after n
period Of financial stress, but there were at
least two thousand men working here Mt
that time.
In comparison to these wages, note that
the highest average weekly wage ever paid
M TINS plant was during the week Of Novem-
Der Z; lolS. when more than 1000 men re-
cclVed an average wage of S37 80, while the
highest weekly wage paid during this year
was during september, when the average
wage was S'|6.28. The average wage paid
during this entire year of 1920 so far is
approximately $34
These figures simply show the enormous
increase in wages that has been gained by
the workers recently, and they also explain
why people are not really living NOWADAYS

mode OF life. They also show that n man

The more ardent advocates Of the bone
dry principle, viewing the confusion that is
due in part to their own hcadlong and un
reasoning zeal. often console themselves with
the thought that, even if whisky has not
been wiped out, the lower order Of saloon,
which presented the worst phase Of the
traffic, has been eliminated
That is wholly wrong assumption. Sa
looms of the lower order continue to thrive,
and all the evils once charged against them
flourish and are elaborated under ground.
The liquor traffic in it's less disrCputable
forms has been eliminated. The worst Of
it has been forced below the surface and out
side regulation.
The continuance Of the Brooks high
license law is necessary to the continuance
of this condition. The state says in effect
to the saloonkeepers: "You may sell what
ever you wish to sell, so long as you can get
away with It. We give you license and
partial protection. Pay the required fee and
the police will not interfere with your bust
ness
The saloons sell moonshine whisky. dopcd
whisky, imitation whisky and whatever else
they can get through underground channels,
and they are making more money than they
ever made in the lays before prohibition.
The work of enforcing the law is left to the
small group Of prohibition agents. who have
admitted that they are powercss without
the help of the police and the state au-
thorities.
Even Mr.. Smyth and even the members Of
the State Legislature will have to admit
that this shameful and dangerous condition
is one that cannot be permitted to continue
much longer. With the elimination Of the
Brooks law the police in all Pennsylvania
cities could throw their aid to the govern

known to deal with counterfeters, it ought
to be repealed
After Mr.. Smyth's opinion, the State
Legislature has nothing to do but provide a
state enforcement act similar in all its pro-
visions to the federal law. That is about
what they are going to do in New Jersey,
where the folly of Mr.. Edwards now famous
beer bill is already apparent That bill
provided permanent shelter for the Illicit
whisky traffic though Mr.. Edwards did not
forescc that result when he moved for a
libcraiacd dry law. The beer bill is to be
repealed and the new law in Jersey will
parallel the law as it is written in Wash
