Of health, getting away from that
of merely physical efficiency. II the
wages are not sufficient to main
tain the worker and render him
healthy, the cost comes back on So
ciety sooner or later through unneces-
sary sickness"
Three standards Recognised.
Regardless Of the justice or In
Justice of basing the pay on TINS
or that standard there are thous-
ands in the government service
who are not getting q living wage.
Naturally the percentage is very
much greater among the married
employees than among the single.
Il has been calculated that % per
cent of the married men and women
get less thar the family budget
calls for. And this budget rose to
S2,2sS.25 In october and Is now
fully $4,000.
! Labor statistics recognize at least
three levels in the family budget. Two
more could conveniently be added,
however, the pauper minimum OF SUD.
sistence and minimum OF health and
comfort will alone be considered. The
first calls for charity, the second
mere animal existence and the third
provides for food and shelter and
body covering in addition to certain
comforts, with a modicum Of amuse-
ments and some allowances for self
DEVELOPMENT. 1t Is this budget which
figures In the report OF the Reclas-
sification Committee.
The budget was worked out for q
family of five. husband. wife. boy OF
Ii, girl Of five and boy Of two. The
budget for this family is not ideal
the report states, but ''it was in
tended to establish a bottom level oi
health and decency, below which a
family can not go without danger OF
physical and moral deterioration"
II the reasoning of the Bureaus ex'
pert is sound there must be thousands
Of families in Washington which are
undergoing physical and moral de-
struction."
Urged .ReasonabIe Life"
To emphasize the former point 1t is
added that the budget does not in
clude many comforts which should be
included in O proper American stand
ard of living"
Possibly this was in Senator Ken
yon's mind when. at the hearing on
the Nolan bill. he said:
rs not there something in the prop
osition of blazing the way of life that
II ought to include something more
than the mere necessities Of existence,
and so that people can live a reason
able life?"

will have nm opportunity to hEare
out for himself or herself whether
or not government authorities have
been too extrayagant in fixing the

the company was receiving 35 per cent
profit above cost, although Mr.. Wood
claimed the profit proposed by the
company for its 1920 business was 1914

which the company was realizing. he
said, exceeded ION an average from

President Wood. in a statement

excessive profit"

nation of the company's annual finan-

a net profit of $15,513,415 less reserves

The American Wooden company. Mr..
Smyth said, is the largest m%anufactur-

missions Of More Than a Half
Million Dollars Yearly

New York, May 27.-The American
Wooden company of New York. the
American Wooden company of Massa-
chusetts, and William nj. Wood. presi-
dent of both companies, were charged
with profiteering in wooden cloth In an
Indictment returned yesterday by the
federal grand jury.
The indictment contains four
counts charging IA individual viola
lions of the Lever act in the sale of
cloth at unjust and unreasonable fig
ures. The first cOunt In the indict-
ment charged the company with the
sale on Jan. Z. 1920. of 10 yards OF
cloth, which cost 1925 a yard. for
S3.6f1@ a yard. Another count alleges
that a piece of cloth which cost S1.62
a yard was sold on Jan. 10, 1920. for
$50 a yard. Other counts charge
similar transactions.
The Indictment followed an investi-
CATION by the department of justice,
made at the request of President
Wood of the company, according to a
statement last night by Herbert C.
Smyth, special assistant to the United
States district attorney. Mr.. Smyth
said the investigation showed the
Wooden company controls
u per cent of the output of wooden
cloth in the country and that its
prices are followed virtually by the
entire trade.
Although Mr.. Wood is in receipt of
salaries both from the
manufacturing company, the selling
company of the same name and the
mill companies" Mr..
Smyth added, "he received commits
sions from the manufacturing and
companies which in 1919
amounted to S515,4 This is calcu-
lated as a part of the manufacturing
and selling expense"
