wages are paid is simply convenient
medium by. which their services are
measured against the services of the
farmer in producing food and the
workers in all the industries produc-
ing goods which they consume. Their
real pay comes in the goods which
their wages buy, and in that sense
their pay has been increasing rapidly
in recent months, and is greatf after
these reductions than il was at any
time last year, Their pay is larger
in proportion to value of the products
they handle than it ever was before.
A lair read ustment Of wages in the
packing industry means help toward
the general readjustment which must
be accomplished before there will be
employment for everybody again.
II is a not uncommon remark that
employers are taking advantage of the
state of depression and unemployment
to force wage reductions. This is an
ill-advised comment, calculated to
cause bad feeling. 1t indicates want
of understanding of the actual require
ments of the situation The fact is
that depression and unemployment ex-
list because the industrial situation is
out OF balance, and there is no remedy
except by such readjustment of wages
and prices as will restore the balance
and enable the various industries 10

CYMPTOMS of Improvement in
the business situations have be-
- come apparent with the resump-
ton of outdoor operations, but il
cannot be said that these indications
are sufficiently pronounced to justify
sanguine predictions.
Il is gratifying to note that there
is not the amount of distress that
might have been expected from so
much unemployment, nor the number
of business failures which might be
expected following so severe de-
probation of values. The most en-
couraging circumstance is the fact
that the readjustment of wages and
prices which is necessary to general
revival of industry. is steadily pro-
crossing, and without serious amount
Of friction.
The comparative figures given in
the table reproduced above do not
show a pleasing state OF affairs, but
they do show what everybody knows
that we are passing through period
Of depression, and when we take into
account the state of business over the
world, and the great and heavy fall
in the prices of our staple products,
there is reason for congratulation that
conditions are no worse.
Retail trade continues surprisingly
good in the cities, and wholesale dis
tribution is very fair. considering the
low prices of farm products and the
amount of unemployment reported.
Payments through banks reporting to
the Federal Reserve Board and pass
ing through the Clearing Houses are
running 20 to rs per cent lower than
a year ago. which is not so great a
decrease as might be expected in view
OF the decline Of prices.
One of the notable incidents OF re-
cent weeks bearing on the business
situation was the agreement between
the meat-packers and their employees.
The workers accepted moderate re-
duction OF wages, which had increased
approximately 100 per cent during the
war. as had the prices Of live stock
and packing house products.
The question Of wages paid to pack
ing-house workers is more than one
between the workmen and their en-
ployers. The packing-house workmen
are middlemen between the farmers
and the consumers; moreover, they
are consumers themselves, not only
Is meats but OF the products of other
Iustries. The money in which their

trust that the Farmers meeting
at the court house this month will
stress the Importance to our farmers
of raising more hogs to feed the low
priced grain to. Of course you know
that hogs at the present price will
return double the price now realized
for maize and kafir. The high price
of grain for the two or the years
past made it seem unnecessary to
maintain a stock of hogs. and il
is now impossible to get them tor
this crop. 1t would seem wise
course to get back to feeding again
