must be added the tremendous infiu-

part of the production of many mills
and hold the same until scarcity and
insistent demand sends UP prices to

even triple their investments.
AS to labOrs part in the increased
costs the figures are just as startling.

the earnings of some $500 workers
ranging up to $97 week and the
