WALLACE PRESENTS FIGURES
Margin Between Price AsrieuIturist
Receives for Produces and Price
Consumer Pays Has Increased
Greatly During Last Eight Years
BY JAMES p boaNApAv


Washington.-The secretary Of az
rfculture. Henry q. Wallace. has re-
Gently been making a study Of the
margin between the price the farmers
receive for their products and the
price the consumers pay for those
products. The margin has greatly in
creased during the last eight years.
The secretary finds that "a good deal
or this Increase is due to the increase
In the wages paid the people who han.
die the products.
What the figures show Is that the
wages Of the farmer, as represented
by the prices paid for his crops, are
lower than his wages were before the
war. measured In purchasing power.
while the wages Of the workman, and
especially In organized Industries, are
considerably higher than they were be-
fore the war. whether measured In
dollars and cents or In purchasing
power" says the secretary. THE pur-
chasing power of the wages Of the
railway employee In 1921 was 81 per
cent greater than In 1913. The pur-
chasing power Of the wages Of the
coal miner In 1921 was 30 per cent
greater than In 1913. The purchas-
Ing power OF the farm hand who
