Washington, May 9,-Railroad
labor has taken the offensive in the
hearings at Washington and denied
flatly that wage increases granted
since 1917 are in any degree respon
sible for high prices.
Speaking in the name of Z differ
ent unions of railroad workers, w.
Jett Lauck opens the issue with the
following flat-footcd statement:
a careful analysis of the
data bearing ON the causes of
high prices and the relation OF
cost of production to prices
leads to the following specific
conclusions:
1. PrOfitccring-by which is
meant the cNaction Of profits
greatly in excess Of irc-War
profits on the part of producers,
middIcmcn and rctai!crs-is Il
fundamental cause Of the high
prices of practically all COM
moditirs.
2. Increased wages to labor
are in no way responsible for
increased prices.
Isauck is an economist of many
years training. He served as sec
rotary for the national war laDol
board, under former President Taft
Frank p. Walsh and Basil M. Manly
His charge that wage advances
have been an effect of price ad
yances, not cause, is supported by
an array of facts which employers
strive to ignore but cannot refute.
Following up his written indict
ment of the profitcer as the mos
conspicuous curse of modern society
Laucll will take the witness stant
late this week for croSs-eXaminatiol
by railroad attorneys and member
of the wage board.
As Il result of the war, says
this expert, labor as IL class
is now worse off than it was
before the war. Almost wth-
out exception, Il days wages
