PR0FITEERING ISREAL REASON
Study Made by Former Secrc-
tary of War Labor Board Pre-
sented to Railroad Labor
Board to Support Workers
Demands for Wage Increases

Washington May IA study Of pro-
titeering in American industry made
under the auspices Of the railroad
brotherhoods was presented to the
railroad labor board today in support
of the railway workers demands for
higher pay and refute the charge that
increased labor costs are responsible
for the high cost of living.
Prepared by w. J. Lauck, former
secretary of the war labor board. the
study seeks to show that profiteering
in industry is the fundamental cause
for high prices in practically all COM
modities 1t gives many statistics to
support that contention.
War Miliionaires
Calling attention to the many war
made millionaires, the study contends
that three-fold relationship exists
between high prices. profiteering. and
the addition. to the quota of million
aires," and that the increase in the
wealth of the wealthy is an "unan-
swerable' refutation to all attempts
to charge labor with profteering and
to all attempts to hold labor responsi
ble for the high cost of living.
OF the extraordinary increase in the
price of sugar, now amounting to 300
percent, the study says the increase
in labor costs paid by the consumers
was less than fifteen percent. The re
suit of advanced prices according tC
the quoted reports of twelve compa
MES. producing over half of the sugar
consumed in the United States, was
pictured in the net profit of these con
Germs, which, it was said, rose from al
average from $11, 100000, during the
years 1912-1914, to $34,OOO,OO0 for the
years 1916.191S.
Labor Not Responsible
In the meat packing industry
where profits were said to have in.
creased between 300 and 400 percent.
the labor item was shown so small
that a wage increase of 100 percent
would add less than five percent to the
total cost of the meat. The increase
in price between 1914 and 1918 was
shown as eight times the total labor
cost and the 1918 price represented 25
times the total labor items.
Profits absorb approximately one
half the retail price Of certain kinds
of cloth. the report declared, while the
labor item amounts to One-fourteenth
to one-twentieth of the price. Similar
relations were pictured in the manu-
facture of mems garments.
