Scientific Theory
On Wages Sought
Present Salary Fixing Based
On Profit, Say Labor
Experts.

A scientific wage theory" or
method for fixing wages, Is being
sought by the American Fedora
ton OF Labor.
A preliminary survey reported
to the council of the federation
now in session here. claimd the
utter breakdown of all so-called
wage theories as they have been
practiced."
The law of supply and demand
was said to have become inopera-
tive. Methods of wage-fxing, II
was said. are of an arbitrary char
acter based upon profit, and not on
service to society or the contribu-
ton to the individual.
The proper theory, being sought,
the council holds will reduce the
labor turnover and raise the ef-
ficiency of industry.

fIss 4 POOR RuLE. Erc.

The department of labor has deter
mined that the cost of living of last
December showed an increase of s4.5
per cent over that of December, 1914.
In the same time railroad wages in
creased 134.o7 per cent. While the
brotherhoods were contending for in
creases in wages their argument was
that wages should keep pace with the
cost of living. But in the existing
controversy they are not saying a
word along this line.
In the effort of the nation to return
to normal economic conditions the at
titude of labor is of great Importance.
On it depends largely our recovery
from the reactions of the World War.
Two courses present themselves to the
hired workers of this country: They
can either aequiesce readily in the ne
cessity of readjustment of wages to
a Debated standard, or they. can resist
the downward tendency and refuse to
serve at lowered pay.
Unsettlement and turmoil such as
now exist in England or calmness and
sound conditions await this country
according to the will and action of la
Dor. Labor can determine whether
we shall have progress out of our eco
nomic depression, or a hating of in
dustrial and commercial activities, or
a possible retrogression to a worse
state than we have yet experienced.
widespread conflict over wages
would throw the country into confu-
sion and paralyze trade and industry
The adverse effect of that on the
working people would be severer than
on any other section of the population
Those who toll with their hands can
not afford to listen to agitators or
leaders who counsel an uncompromis-
ing stand in this matter. The inter-
ests of labor are not the only interests
to be considered. The interests of
employers and the interests of the
public are no less vital and righteous
than those of labor. These three sets
of interests must be harmonized if the
country is to regain and retain its old
time prosperity.
The farmers have seen their earn
inss reduced more thai. half and have
met, the situation with little COM
plant, realizing perhaps that the dol
lars they are receiving are worth
much more than they were when
prices were high. Labor cannot justly
hope to fare better than all other
classes of citizens
