w. J. Lauck Says 18 Con.

Proiteering to the extent Of three

Lauck. consulting economist of the
railroad union, and made public here
last night.
The survey shows that eighteen OF

S331 100000 for the period OF 1915
1918. or almost four and One-nait
times the pre-war average. These

total of more than billion dollars,
of which some S750.000.O00 represent
ed excess profits over pre-War con-
capital stock also more than quad.
rupled. rising from an average OF
approximately per cent to approx
mately IS per cent.
Increase in Earnings.
That these increased profits were
not entirely due to increased produc.
tion can be illustrated in the case OF

steel increased its net income per
ton from an average of $4.69 prior TO
the war to an average of Sl4.3l DUR
ing the l916-191S period Lacka~an-
ma Steel showed an even larger IN
crease-somewhat Influenced by a de-
ficit of the pre-war years. while the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company was
able to raise its earnings per ton from
S2.02 to S5.S4.
The tremendous increase in the
price of steel during recent years.
said the survey, is not attributable
to advances in wages. Even after
wartime increases in wages mad oeeh
met the labor costs per ton OF mn
ished steel was only IL per cent high

war period. as compared with an IN
crease in net profits per ton of nm

increase in gross sales and earnings
was equivalent to s62-90 per ton OF
output. or approximately four times
the increase in total wages ana SAL
aries per ton.
For every dollar paid in salaries
and wages" said MIR. Lauck, the net
profits of the corporations available
for dividends increased from 2s cents
Tor the pre-war period to 6o cents in

''The facts presented by the steel

conclusively that the high prices OF

are due not to increased labor costs.
