The great injury inflicted upon the business of the coun

If the late great has anything at all to its credit
ANYTHING at all that look to general advantage
to humanity the fact that the and the conditions
which it created tended to raise the wage scale
The of all intelligent people as well as humanitarian
people, the effort of all people familiar with social and
economic principles and objecves, should have been to
maintain this wage scale and the standard Of living made
possble by high wage scale, though the cost OF
living should be somewhat reduced.
We know perfectly well that the supremacy OF American
products due and has been due and never Will

said, is equivalent to $4,000, ,OCO

900 a day. and he pointed out that

sum for the workers.
The supporting opinion filed by

Principle Attacked.
The attack on the principle OF the
living wage is direct and open, and
classifies II as a fantastic theory
and charges that Its own proponents
expressly characterized II in the
hearing before the Labor Board as a
guess and make-shift. The
ma jority opinion says:
"If the contentious were that the
board should establish n living wage
the majority would readily accede

often bitterly attacked. 1t is so with

Advances Reasons.
Mr.. Fljozdal said he was for the
living wage program for several
reasons.
First. it is necessary to enable
laborers'to raise their families prop.
erly and to school their children.
Schools, being required by law for
all children up to sixteen years OF
age, cost money, he declared, and
laborers without a living wage can
not conform TO the school law.
Second. il is necessary to make

Third, the right of man to live

slant worry and trouble, Is necessary
to the country's advancement. Dis

winding and coil as" is the second

the two coils is readily adjusted by
varying the position of the second
arv coil with respect to the primary
coil, either by rotating it so as to
cause the magnetic fields of the two
coils to oppose each other or by
sliding the secondary out of the field
of the primary. Il Will be noted
that inductive coupling requires the
use of two separate windings for
the two circuits.

coupling known as Conductive"

coupling is employed in most two

winding is required FOR conductive
