$4,000 to Aid
'Clean-Up' Drive

An appropriation Of $4,000 for
Red Cross work in connection with the
cleanup" campaign instituted by the
Government to bring the claims of all
disabled service men who are entitled
to Federal aid before the proper gov
eminent bureau for action, has been
made by the American Red Cross.
The Executive Committee of the
American Red Cross in making the
appropriation authorized the appropri-
alton Of $4,000 Of this sum to the
American Legion to defray the ex-
pense of the Legion representatives
assigned to the various districts of
the Veterans Bureau.
The remainder of the appropriation
was authorized for apportionment
among the several Divisions of the
Red Cross for carrying on that part
Of the 'ciean-up' work that falls di-
rectly upon the Red Cross organization.

Chief among the subdivisions Of

with assistance to disabled men and
women in government hospitals. This
item of S1,79O,0OO, an increase Of more
than 100000 over the appropriation

ices for the disabled and their families
which are Indispensable to supplement
those provided by the government.
The director Of the Veterans Bureau
has recently expressed his desire that
the Red Cross should continue and
extend these "humanizing services"
Other items of the appropriation for
veterans relief are proportionately in

of $469,6 has been made for Red
Cross work in connection with regu-
lar Army and Navy hospitals and
with the regular Army and Navy.

INFLUENCE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

1t is nothing new to have the law Of supply and de-
mand pronounced a back number. announcements
Of that kind have been appearing with great ire
, ouency for a long time, but it has always turned out
that the law was working where the observers were
not looking and in ways they did not understand 1t
may be suppressed for a time IN one place, put II Is
like water on its way to the sea, it gets there eventu-
ally, no matter how much its course may be hifiered.
The committee report to the executive council Of
the Federation of Labor contains the following:
"The law of supply and demand has long since
ceased to function in wage fixing, except under ex-
%ceptional conditions, and the most acute suffering
from arbitrary imposition Of unscientihc wage the
cries is found in industries where there is no organ
ization of the workers, and where the voice. of the
employer constitutes final authority from which there
Is no appeal"
These views come quito naturally from men who
are engaged constantly in contentious over money
wages, and who are judged as successful or not &C
cording to the wage rates they are able to win. They
are SO close to wage rates that they see nothing else,
but wage rates are not all of the wage question. The
fact is that there never was a clearer demonstration
OF the impossibility of defeating the law of supply ana
demand than is afforded by the high wage rates and
high state of unemployment existing in this country
today.
The committee takes no account OF the necessity
for balanced relations between the industries or OF
the purchasing power of money wages, and unfortu.
nately that has been true Of many labor leaders in
the present situation. The labor organizations have
developed great power, largely by the aid and sym
pathy of the public, but they are using it in this crisis
for obstructive purposes-to prevent the natural re-
adjustments between the industries that are necessary
to afford full employment for their own members.
They are making the price of everything into which
their labor enters so high that millions of consumer
are unable to buy. They think they are defeating the
law of supply and demand by maintaining wage rates,
falling to see that the law is having its way in the
actual volume Of wage payments. More than one
half of the people of this country have suffered heavy
reductions in their incomes and common sense should
tell that they cannot buy as much of the products of
other workers unless the prices Of such products come
down to correspond with their own. With such staples
as flour, sugar, coffee, rice, meats and butter much be.
low the prices OF last year liberal wage reductions can
be made without reducing the standard of living, and
they would accomplish still further reductions in the
cost Of living. 1t is evident that the balance must. be
restored before general prosperity can be regainea.
