CARPENTERS
LEAVING CITY
Attracted BY High Prices
Being Paid Elsewhere

The housing situation in Hamilton
is the most serious in the city's hist
ory, and indications are that there
will not be much relief therefrom this
summer as far as new buildings are
concerned, unless there is some quick
action taken on the part of contract
ors to hold the building tradesmen.
Many carpenters are leaving the city,
o. expressing their intention Of doing

The present scale for carpenters is
rs cents per hour, and which is signed
up to run until May, 1921, but many
are receiving 80 and SIS cents per hour.
The men are not complaining but they
say why should we remain in Ham
ilton at that price when we can get
as much as ST. elsewhere Cincin-
matt carpenters have presented de-
mands for 81 am hour until May
and Sl25 for the succeeding year.
The Cincinnati men refused to accept
an offer Of 80 cents an hour by Master
Builders Association. Newark. Ak
ron, Cleveland and Detroit are offer
ing as much as Sl25 an hour. The
present scale at Dayton calls for 75
cents an hour to May ! yet they are
paying ST an hour in that city. Mid
dletown, with a scale Of 75 CENTS an
hour, is paying 30 cents.
The local carpenters union has 375
members on the roll lit the present
time, everyone Of whom is busy; and

FALLACY OF
PIECE WORK
Pointed Out BY British
Newspaper, Criticising
Pernici0us System

London, England The labor cor
respondent of Reynolds Newspaper,
presents these views on the fallacy Of
the piece work system:
In theory piecework and payment
by results are quite attractive sys-
TENS, in practice, however, they fall
far short of their promise. A basis
time for the Job is fixed, and bonus
offered on Jobs completed under this
basis time. AS soon as the worker
promises to draw high wages the ten
dency to cut time and prices down
commences, until they fall below a
reasonable minimum which the trade
union assumes. 1t is the application of
the system by unscrupulous employers
that has caused the unions to fight
the question Of payment BY results
and similar systems.
another factor which has carried
great Welght Win the workers IN
their fight for standardized wage
IS that the bonus system means that
while the physical giant might earn
living wage, the weakest employees
must go to the wall The fact that
in practically every industry there has
been reabsorbed number of men
broken by the war, who must be safe
guarded, has the tendency to increase
the determination of the unions to re-
sist the employers attempt to force
ar issue on this question before con-
sidering the consolidation of wages,
annual holidays and other outstand-
ing questions"

The only legislation that can succeed
is that which removes the underlying
causes of industrial disorder. Among
these permanent causes are wages in
sufficient to meet the cost Of living,
and while organized labor in certain
industries has been able to obtain
wage increases, the general level of
wages in unorganized trades, partic-
ularly where alrge numbers Of women
are employed, is 50 low that we can
have no industrial peace until it IS
raised.
Fortunately however, a construc-
tive remedy has been found In all

SAVE MONEY ON
MEAT" WEEK
To Be Held From March %
to II

"The Department of Justice an
nounced today that the first Save
Money on Meat" week, during which
consumers will be urged to turn away
from high-priced cuts of beef, pork,
and lamb to those equally nutritious
but costing much less, will be held
from March % to March q through
out each of the following states:
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indianan,
Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York.
1.-The fair price commissioners of
those states have been holding confer
ences with the retail meat dealers and
with scores of different packing firms
in that territory 1t is expected that
retailers will stock the less costly cuts
in adequate quantities to fill the de-
mand, and that these meats will be
sold, under the direction of the fair
price commissioner and with the CO.
operation of all factors concerned, at
low prices. Only meat of unquestion-
able quality will be permitted to be
sold. Undoubtedly many thousands Of
consumers who have been buying
porterhouse and sirloin steaks at
prices ranging up toward rs cents a
pound will, for the first time, buy nice
juicy round steaks at perhaps half the
price, and brisket, chuck, and other
nutritious cuts at even lower figures.
when one remembers that the ma
tion as whole consumes 58,000,0OC
pounds of meat daily and that the
states mentioned hold a considerable
part of the national population, it is
apparent from the tables given below
that the saving in one week in thi:
territory alone will run into prodig
ious sums. These tables embody quo
tations on some high-priced meat cut:
and some relatively inexpensive mea
cuts in the middle western markets
