always against Them" for the un-
skilled labor on the railroads. George
Easily, vice president of the Broth
erhood OF Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers and Station
Employees, recently urged the railroad
labor board to refuse any wage re-
duction at this time.
Capital never goes cold and hun
cry Mr.. Easily said. "Capital is
never out OF a job unless it wants to
be. Capital can even live on itself
and never know what distress means.
Pleads for Sufferers.
We are here pleading the cause of
human beings who need food, cloth
ing and shelter every day of the
year. To them the specter of unem-
ployment is ghost that is never
laid. To them life is constant
struggle. with the odds always
against them. To them a difference
OF a few cents an hour is the differ
ence between bare existence and de-
cent living"
Mr.. Easily declared that the public
had been deceived when it was told
that high wages were the cause of
high prices. Profits, he said, were
the real cause of high prices.
"A few days ago the chamber Of
commerce wanted to know what was
the matter with business, so it sent

labor costs were to blame and that

1T never occurred to Mr.. Schwab
to suggest that profits come down.
Mr.. Schwab did not tell the public
that after the wage increases had
been paid the price of finished steel
was only Al per cent higher in 1917
than 1t was three years before the
war. while the increase in net profit
per ton of the finished product was
220 per cent"
