MANY STRIKES

. In View Of tho widespread conditions
Of unemployment II Is rather surpris-
Ing that there are more strikes in the
country at tho present time than at any
other one time since tho war. The
halcyon time to strike was right after
tho war. when there was still an inten-
sive demand for labor Of all kinds. Tho
present. with several mon for every Job.
would not seem to be q favorable time
for workers to enforce their demands.
II Ia stated by Secretary OF Labor
Davis that most Of the cases are caused
by wage reductions. especially in the
building and garment trades. This mat
ter Of wage reductions Is one that has
been agitAtinE tho country for many
months A. q general proposition. It Is
recognised that wages must be lowered
before prices can be permanently. low
cred. or simultaneously at least. because
wages arc . big part Of the cost OF
svsry article.
At the same time. t. must Be reccg-
nised that wages should not 80 down
any faster than the cost Of living. To
out wages Extraordinarily imposes a
hardship on the worker and his family,
and Is entirely unjust
