For, IL invested wealth gets

larger proportion of the national in
come than formerly. the man who gives
personal service or labor is bound to get
a smaller proportion. The menace Of the
future lies in the probability that the
vast profits which are still held in re-
serve will be capitalized in order that
under the pretext of fair return on
capital, those who own them may con
tinue to take the larger proportion Of
national income, even at the expense of
very great suffering on the part of the
workers, when the overstimulation Of

OF the extraordinary increase in the
price of sugar. now amounting to 300
per cent, the study says, the increase in
labor cost paid by the consumer was
less than 10 per cent. The result of ad

reports of twelve companies producing
over half of the sugar consumed in the
United States was pictured in the net

profits were said to have increased be-

item was shown SO small that wage
increase of 100 per cent would add less
than per cent to the total cost of the
meat. The increase in price between
1914 and 1918 was shown as eight times
the total labor cost and the 1918 price
represented twenty five times the total
labor item.
Profits absorb approximately one half
the retail price of certain kinds of cloth,
the report declared, while the labor item

was charged, absorbed nearly one half
the price paid by the consumer, or
nearly three times the total labor cost,
while in 1917 the profit items amounted
TO approximately three ffths of the
total price and over five times the total
labor cost.
Increases in the retail price Of bitumi.

increase in labor costs. while the pro

HUNG JURY IN
zAM0RA TRIAL
IS DISCHARGED

The jury trying the Zamora case
was discharged yesterday morning
after failing to reach VERDICT.
The case in which Florencio Ia
mora, a butcher OF Ola Town, was
charged with receiving and aiding
in the concealmeni of stolen prop
erty, went to the jury at o'clock
Tuesday evening after it had been
in the court two days, The jury was
unable to reach an agreement Tues
day night and was kept at the
court house and brought into Al
buuuerque for breakfast. Failing
to reach a verdict the jury was dds
charged at o'clock "Wednesday
morning.
In the trial, which was COM
menced Monday morning, the pros
ecution brought forward witnesses
to show that Florencio Zamora had
on the night of August 3, 1919 re-
ceiyed two stolen COWS from Mateo
Chavez. The cattle and We're
owned by a Mr.. Baldonado, and 1t
was alleged that they We're driven
across the river the night of Au-
gust 8 to property owned by FLO
rencio Zamora and that he assisted
in driving the cattle into his slaugh-
ter pen. Evidence was produced 10
show that he brought down with
him to the slaughter house knives,
a cleaver and steel.
Sheriff Garcia and Deputies
Wootton, Ranghart and Trujillo
were, as testified by themselves,
concealed in the brush nearby and
at different points at the time the
cattle were driven across the river
and into the corral at the slaughter
house. They testified that at their
arrest Zamora and one of the other
men had to be told several times to
put up their hands, and did so only
on the threat of the deputies that
they would kill them if they did not
obey.
The defense took its stand on the
fact that Zamora had not set any
price to be paid for the cattle ana
argued that he had not received the
cattle actually INTO his possession
at the time of his arrest.
