evident reason that the farmer can
not buy as many clothes al the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on a par with
the compensation OF these people
with whom ne is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
earners in all the industries. The
wage-workers in agriculture have
the situation before their eyes, and
have yielded to it promptly. The
wages of farm hands have dropped
approxinls tely one-half. Farm hands
were close enough 10 the situation
TO see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers, railroad en-
ployes and town workers generally
are many of them working for the
farmers and will have TO face the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on d large scale because goods
cannot be sold, and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out of balance. Recovery will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.
1t is greatly TO the credit of the
wage-eafners as a class that the
process of readjustment has pro-
ceeded with as little friction as has
been the case thus far. Generally
there has been willingness TO make
concessions. 1t is not advisable that
the movement should be unduly
pressed. Ii is better TO take more
time, although delay means that the
losses are greater, for the wage
earners are entitled TO know why
lower wages are necessary. They
are interested in having the neces-
sary readjustments made in order
that industry may be on basis that
will afford steady and full em-
ployment.
Wage reductions will have to go
much further in the manufacturing
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1921-08-03

industries and in transportation be-
fore this situation is reached. 1t
has been contended, and with much
force, that living costs should lead
rather than follow, wage reductions,
and they have led at the expense OF
the earnings Of farmers and at the
expense of profits and dividends,
but they have reached a point where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
a loss of purchasing power to wage
earners, for the very reason that
wages are now the principle factor
in prices, and the cost of living,
generally speaking, will decline
accordingly.
On the other hand if further re-
ductions are not made in the in
dustries indicated, living costs are
likely to rise Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose of
curtailing the production of agri-
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be rs per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de-
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production of food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinations of wage-earners
and others TO maintain wages and
the prices Of town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system of restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view of bettering living
conditions for those who practice il.
When everybody practices it the
result is poorer living conditions for
all The best results will be OBJ
tained for every group Of workers
by a fair attitude toward others
and BY a common policy to promot,
the general good.
