British Air Policy Changed.

Writing from London Alfred Mutting. consular
clerk saws the air ministry has full responsibility
for aircraft development in Great Britain instead OF
the admiralty previous to 1919.
'The Pulhan aerial station was reopened IN NO

control of the controller general of civil aviation, the
object being to obtain fuller experience and ntofma-
ton concerning the value Of airships for commercial
purposes but there still remained the need for economy
and the air ministry had to reconsider the whole posi-
ton with view to reducing the expenditure during
the financial year Io2I2z. AS result it was decided
that for service purposes arshps Should not be re-
tanned and that the civil aviation experiments should
be only on a small scale Accordingly, the total ex-
pendture asked for in the estimates for the current
financial year was limited to f25oooo however, it was
explained by Mr.. Churchill when introducing the air
estimates that experiments would not continue through

stricted.

PETTY REDUCTION
IN LIVING COSTS
Greatly Magnified BY Low
Wage Employers

Washington The wldely-heraldded
reduction in living costs averaged CT
per cent during the period June, 1920,
10 December, 1920. IN 81 leading cit
les, according to the United State bu
reau of labor statistics.
The June. 1920, cost of living was
the highest during the war, being
|ll6.5 per cent over December 1913.
This 81 per cent reduction is be
ing used by every publicity force at
the command Of cheap-wage employ
ers to Justify a wage decrease of 15,
20 and SO per cent among the unor-
Ganized, despite the fast that at no
time during or after the war have
wages permitted workers to maintain
living standards Of 1913.
Decreases during inc past six
months, averaging 81 per cent, arc
as follows
Baltimore, 81 per cent; Boston, 6.3
per cent; Buffalo, 50 per cent; Chi
caeo, 80 per cent; Cleveland and Nor
folk, SO per cent; Detroit, IA per
cent; Houston, SO per cent; Jack
sonville and Memphis, As per cent
Zach; Los Angeles 2.5 per cent; Mo
bile and Pittsburgh. &C per cent each;
New York, 81 per cent; Philadelphia,
6 per cent; Portland, Me. per cent;
Portland Ore, 10 per cent, San Fran
cisco, and Atlanta, Sc per cent each;
Savannah, 81 per cent; Seattle, rs
per cent; Washington, 67 per cent;
Birmingham, 6.1 per cent; Cincinnati
84 per cent; Denver. II per cent:
indianapolis, 8.4 per cent; Kansas
City, 7.6 per cent; Minneapolis, "a per
cent; New Orleans, 81 per cent; Rich
mond, 7.3 per cent St Louis, 81 per
cent; Scranton, 50 per cent.
1t is significant fact that landed
interests and public utilities took no
part in these small reductions Ir.
stead, in every instance, but one, sub
stantial increases were made during
the six months in the cost of housing,
fuel AMI light.
The bureau OF labor statistics also
shows that the cost of living in De
cembee, 1920, was 1904 per cent over
1913. This means that if wages ara
not twice those of pre-war times the
conditions of workers are not equal Il
1913, and instead Of securing better
conditions as a result Of the war fol
democracy their standards are lower
than before the war

NEW REMEDY
For British Out-of- Work
Not Effective

London, England The govern
ments latest solution for the unem-
ployed problem is to have employees
work part time. Workers declare
this is no remedy as short time is now
the rule and the number bordering
on starvation will be increased.
Other trade unionists declare that
the government has taken the first
step towards an attempt to reduce
wages and that it will solve nothing
to share the poverty existing among
workers partly employed with those
who are totally unemployed
The plan is denounced as a scheme
to shift to the workers the unem-
ployment problem. while the govern
ment and employers and other tax
payers would escape responsibility
Trade uniomsts call attention to the
hysterical pleas for greater produc-
tion made last year by statesmen and
editors, who now urge workers to di-
vide their short time with those who
have no work.
Tom Mann, general secretary of the
Amalgamated Engineering Union
makes this comment on the govern
ments short-time proposal; Il am
in favor of dividing work provided il
is done on the payment OF living
wage Of course, the government
does not propose this, and for my
part | will have nothing to do witt
the scheme.
The government has also notifec
the building trades that it will give
these unions pounds for every ex
service man out Of work admitted t,
membership. The unions are asking
how this will guarantee unemploy
ment for them, and while the officer:
of the National Federation Of Building
Trade Operatives have submitted th'
plan to afhliates, it is referred to a!

SHOE WORKERS
EDITOR
Says Boosted Price Cuts
Amount to Nothing

Boston-The claim by anti-union
publicity forces that living costs jus
tify wage reductions is compared with
the governments figures on price re-
ductions by Editor Bains, of the Shoe
Workers Journal. He calls attention
to the report of the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics, which shows
that for the month of October is to
November 5, 1920, there was de
crease in the cost of food products
ranging, in different localities, from
one-half of ! per cent to 5 per cent.
The general average is about / per
cent, For seven-year period, %
leading articles of food, which were
rated at 100 in 1913, are now rated
at 1913, or a present advance of 90
per cent over the prices of 1913
"As the present rates of decline Of
food prices seems to be about per
cent a month, says Editor Baine, 1T
viii take over three years before food
prices will decline TO the level of the
increases III wage rates that shoe
workers have received.
But food is only one Of our living
costs Wage earners are under the
burden of high rents, high cost of coal,
wood and lighting, and transportation
Of persons and goods is at cost high
er than ever before, with no prospect
Of reduction.
IF any reduction in the wages Of
shoe workers is ever to be considered
as worthy of discussion, it should
only be when, by lowering of the
total cost Of living, the purchasing
power Of the advanced wages is great.
er thar it was before the war. IN
computing this purchasing power
those items of living cost that are not
being reduced must always be fgnred
AT the present rates Of progress
in reducing the cost of living it might
well be more than five years before
shoe workers at the present wage rate
would be as well off as they were IN
/ 1913.
Taxation also is an important fac
tor in the high costs of living. 1t has
been estimated that national, state and
municipal taxes today total over $500
per year per family of five persons.
In the last analysis these taxes fall
with crushing force upon the wage
earners and it Is absolute folly for
employers to expect any material re-
duction in labor costs as long as such
war taxation exists
Moreover the wage earners think
they are entitled TO more than the
husks Of industry. They feel entitled
to a progressive betterment of then
material condition in life. We think
employers could better concern chem
selves with an effort at remedying the
conditions under which extortion ano
