condition of ten others is serious.
Most OF those injured were caught
in the shower OF flame but others
were struck by the falling brick and

the two probable causes Of the ex-

showed bootleg quotations are

Fresh supplies from the corn

officials.
Within a week after the cut in
"dry" law agent personnel, bonded
whiskey in larger amounts is

Prohibition officials, watching
bootleg quotations, say the rise or
fall in price is the most certain
reflection of the scarcity or abun-
dance of whiskey.
Reports indicated that most Of
the n-beverage whiskey stocks

.S[|D|NGPAYP[AN
WILL BEAT H. c. l.,
SAYSECONOM|ST
Prof. Fisher, of Yale, Explains
Idea to EmpIoyes-Predicts
Higher Prices.

A sliding scale OF pay for Federal
employees to keep pace with the cost
of living!
When living costs go down. your
pay goes down with it; when IL rises,
your pay also rises. Uncle Sam does
not have a chance to cheat you by
keeping your salary stationary while
rent and the grocery bill are cut
ting wild capers. and you do not have
chance to cheat Uncle Sam when
the cost OF living falls-if that
miracle does happen.
This is the plan of Irving Fisher,
of Yale, economist extraordinary
head OF the Stable Money League.
and long known to the world as the
advocate of a plan whereby the pur-
chasing power of the dollar neither
shrinks nor expands. -
Prof. Fisher is only half serious in
suggesting the sliding scale. He says
that before the dollar is stabilized
in value ii is the only sound plan of
paying wage-earners and ought 10
be adopted.
Wage increases always lag be-
hind price increases" DR.. Fisher told
the joint House and Senate Commit
tee on Civil Service which is now
considering the question Of recl1ssi-
flying Federal employees. recently.
In the case OF the Government
workers there were no salary in
creases to follow the jump in tie
cost of living during the war, unless
the bonus can be so considered"
Officials of the Federation OF Federal
Employees smiled quizzically when asked
about DIR. Fishers scheme. They were
non-committsl over It. In the first
place, the plan would probably breed
intense dissatisfaction because II
makes the weekly pay envelope an
uncertain quantity. II the pay en-
velope followed every variation of
the high cost of living from month
to month "a great many workers
would have the hardest time of their
lives" finding out just what they
would earn fro n year to year
Professor Fisher also told the Civil
Service Committee that prices were
going up again in the next few
months. This disconcerting news
came as a corollary to his prediction
that the country was going to see
a rapid restoration of normal bust
ness conditions. He declared that
prosperous times were always ac-
companied by rising prices but
that a depression was always a time
Of decline in prices.
