The Living Wage Theory
(From the New York Heraid.)

Every rational human being in
this country stands for wage that
VIII give American workers an
American living. But the United
States Railroad Labor Board is
right IN holding that the so-calied
living wage" does not mean what
those who advance the theory in
wage scale disputes pretend II
means.
The term. as It has been accept
ed In recent years, came into kind
or official designation at a time when
the United States Department of
Labor was persistently misused in,
behalf OF the doctrines and schemes
of trade unionism. The Giving
wage" invention of the trade union
propagandists and their allies in the
United States Department of Labor
was created out of number of fall
lacies, Inaccuracies and misstate-
ments that were treated by them as
II they were truths and facts.
One of these was the assumption
that the desires and needs of mil
lions OF workers are very generally
Identical. Another was the ignoring
OF the fundamental and striking diff
ference between the man Of thrifty
nature and habits and the man OF
wasteful nature and habits Still
another was a sheer mlscalculation /
based both upon the average num-
Der Of earners in that average sized |
family. The living wage" theorists
in this case put too many persons
in the average family and let no
body but father work TO support I
that family.
On such a false foundation the
trade union statisticians out of and
in the United States Department OF
Labor built up the impossible the
DRY that the American worker must
have for the decent and wholesome
support of those dependent upon
him several hundred dollars a year
more than the earnings of ordinary
workers are or even have been
more, in fact. than the whole pro-
duction of the country could pro-
vide on any such division of earn
ings. And nothing could better

ness OF their living wage theory than
what was done with Il in the Gov
srnment service. While the theory
was sponsored by the United States

Department of Labor itself did not
n apply its own theory of the living
wage TO its own payroll. So much
for that.
As for tho living wage in It's true
sense, It is q self-evident fact that
when there is employment for all,
with a growing demand for labor
commensurate with the growing OPP
Grafton OF industry and business,
there must be a high enough wase
for workers in a given community
and In given industry TO care
for them or the workers there will
shift to another community to OBJ
tain what Is waiting for them there.
But 1t is equally self-evident fact
that what is Giving wage" in
one part OF the country could not
be such a living wage, might not
even approximate such a living wage,
in another part OF the country where
rents, coal and light were half again
as high as In the first instance, where
food was dearer, where there was a
substantial transportation cost of
getting to and from work as against
none at all in the first instance,
where clothing expense was greater

The 'Liuing Wage" Fraud
(FrOm the New York Tribune.)

The Railroad Labor Board has
done many public services, but none
greater than It's exposure of that
SNUG economic fraud, the Giving
wage" theory of compensation for
rail workers. This theory has es-
capped hard knocks in the past
mainly because OF the clever tricki-
ness of the phrase Giving wage"
Would anybody want TO be accused
OF paying a "non-living wage?
Would any American. in fact, work
for a "non-living wager" He could
not do It very long unless he were
a capitalist as we'll as a worker.
SO long as the Giving wage" was
only an abstraction nobody quar-
relied with It. 1t was economically
nebulous and innoeuous. But when
people tried TO apply It concretely
its illusory character became mani
fest and It's observation-disclosures be-
gan to work mischief. A living
wage" is beyond practical definition,
either economically or sociologically.
A dollar has a different value for
nearly every Garner and user. It's
power also varies enor-
mously in different localities. In the
same surroundings a ''living wage"
for one workman might mean either
afluence or Indulgence for another.
In a hundred different places there
would be a hundred "livlng wage"
standards for a hundred different
individuals. And the fiuctuating quail
ty OF these standards Is further
when the number OF
persons dependent on the worker Is
taken into account.
In ordinary industry fixed ''iiv-
ing wage" standard Is what the now
almost forgotten John ]. ingalls,
would have termed an '1ridescent
dream" To introduce It into a
industry like railroad
ing. where the working classifications
are so diverse and the living condi-
tons OF the workers are so varie-
gated Is pure economic madness.

the frankest criticism, loyalty OF con-
fidence and material aid in fighting
their battles of overcoming. It is
true, however. that the woman who
really helps a girl, helps her more
than any man could. With the pres-
ent angle OF sex psych ology II is
distinctly a woman's job to help a
girl. 1t Is the task OF womanhood to
mold and guide and develop all the
possibilities of progressive power
which are dormant or DETECTED in the
glrlhood of the day. Women are
assuming this responsibility more A..
than ever before.
The girls OF today have beaten the
worlds record in development, while
parents and public piffled around
playing bridge and politics and
thought they were just fiapperishly
fresh. If there Is anything the
matter with the girls of today It Is
because they have been neglected.
The chief worry OF their mothers is
to keep pace with them. II there is

proachable from reasoning, intel

wrong with them they'll meet the
person who can tell them what it Is
half way. Cuss them or condone
them, praise or blame them, they
are the finest girls the world has ever
seen.
