By Associated Press.

New York, May 1s.-An incom-
plete list Of direct losses due to
strikes in 1919 places the cost of la
Dor in wages at nearly $725. 5.0OO, 900
and to industry moro than one and
one-quarter billion dollars. Francis
III. Sisson, vice president OF the
Guarantee Trust Company of New
York, told the silver jubilee conven-
vention Of manufacturers today.
The chief danger in the present
situation, Mr.. Sisson said, is that the
desirability Of low prices as an end
in itself may be SO exaggerated as
to lead to attempts to force prices
down thru harmful measures and
control of credit. The banker spoke
at length on industrial unrest, blam-
ing strike fevers for high living costs
and increased rents. He urged the
Of national resources as
a means of maintaining our eco
nomic position In the world.
Strikes Affect Living Costs.
I'VE have heard much about rent
profiteers." Mr. Sisson said. "bnt or
ganized labor either does not realize
or closes its eyes to the fact that
every time men employed in build
ing trades go on strike or shirk their
tasks they penalize society, which in
cludes themselves. by raising the cost
OF building, thus increasing rents and
making costs OF goods and services
higher"
Declaring that the United States
is living beyond it's means, Mr.. Sis.
son said: Unless we are aroused
from our snug contentment before it
is too late we can not hope to re-
tain our vast stores of gold or our
enormous trade balance or unprece-
dented prosperity" Mr.. Sisson ask
