Laying Blame On Labor.

One of the commonest ways
for manufacturers to escape the
odium of the high cost of their
products is to lay the blame to
the high cost of labor. Mr.. Ethel
bert Stewart, an acknowledged
authority on statistics has recent
ly gotten the price of skilled
labor in six of the largest shoe
manufacturing plants. He says
prior to 1914 it cost for labor 81
cents to make pair of shoes.
This kind of labor has been ad-
vanced 65 per cent so that now
the labor on a pair of shoes costs
60 cents. The leather of a pair of
mems shoes now costs S2.61
cents. This will make each pair
ofshoes stand the manufacturer
1929, yet when they reach the
man who buys them he has to
pay $1,000. There is absolutely
no excuse for this enormous pro.
fit to be added by the manufact-
urer and the retailer. The people
can't be much longer deceived by
laying the blame for the high
cost of what we buy on the labor
ing man. -Elizabethtown News.
