wages are paid IS simply 4 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 greater 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 fair readJustmert of wages in the
packing industry means help toward
the general readjustment which must
be accomplished before there will be
employment for everybody again.
It is a not uncommon remark that
employers are taking advantage of the
state of depression and unemployment
to force wage reductions. This is an
ili-adviSed comment, calculated to
cause bad feeling. II indicates a want
of understanding of the actual require
ments of the situation The fact is
that depression and unemployment ex-
ist 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 to

1t Is impossible, when one-half the
people of the country have lost ap-
proxImately one-half their purchasing
power. for the other half of the peo-
pie to go on without taking note of
it. The depreciation of money which
resulted from the war was not nat
ural or permanent development. Moth
ing of the kind has ever happ Il d
without a readjustmcnt afterward.
and it is always the case that the
sooner that adjustment is accom-
plished, 50 that normal relations are
restored between the industries, the
better for everybody.
1t is of no advantage to the workers
IN any industry to have costs MAIN
tanned upon level which prevents tho
sale of their products. Someb,dy
must have the sagacity to attemp7 a
restoration of the conditions under
which an exchange of products Is pos.
sible. The compensation of workers in
the various branches of industry
which means their purchasing power
must be brought back into equilib-

time or only a short time depends
upon the rapidity with which the pub

remarks of the kind referred to da
not promote an understanding.

how Katherine Miller easily could
have come by the mystery of the

And why she could enter as easily

In Mexico months ago that hand
some Spaniard, Certeis' friend, had
fallen in love with Katherine. Be-
fore that. he had plotted and in
trigued splendidly to re-establish the
rule of certain Spanish aristocrats in
Mexico. That was in war time. Ger.

tory had meant that he would make
himself a little kaiser, ruling in the
treasure house of the world.
When the plot came to naught he
had fled to the mountains, had led

II IS gratifying to note that there
Is not the amount of distress that

Of business failures which might be
expected following so severe a de-

couraging circumstance is the fact
that the readjuStment of wages and

revival of industry is steadily pro-
crossing, and without a serious amount
Of friction.
The comparative figures given in
the table reproduced above do not
show q pleasing state of affairs, but
they do show what everybody knows
that we are passing through a 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
