THE PRoFITEER1NG SEE SAW

lHE PROFITEERING SEE saw Now we
hail the period of prosperity. Analysis of the boom
discloses that wages rise rapidly sometimes to in
credible heights, but that the cost of living rises
still more rapidly, and to still more incredible
heights. Soon we strike the reaction, the period
OF depression and then we find that wages fall rap
IDLY, but that food prices simply stumble They new
er drop with the thud of the workers wages
from March to April of this year, for example.
we learn that the average weekly earning of New
state factory workers declined AZ cents This is a
reduction OF SOS from April 1921, and reduction
OF S+|S from October 1920, which marked the peak
OF earning. As against these figures the United
States Bureau OF Labor statistics shows that the
cost OF living declined only per cent beween De-
cember 1921 and March 1922 in the country as a
whole True since June 1920 there has been drop
OF IS per cent but despite this the cost of living
remained o. per cent above 1913 in March of this
year The retail cost of food did not change at all
from March to April, either in the country as a
whole or IN the leading cities of the great Empire
State. Surely our political economists can fined
a lesson IN such figures When we poke under the
public nose such evidence of outrageous profiteer-
ing, plus bungiing and faulty taxation, we create
condition that is appalling, if not inflammatory
The American Workman never can rise to a state
of appiess and contentment if he is the continuous
victim of the profiteering see-saw And discomfort
