Imports Taxes Are In- creased Twelve Times Before Goods Finally Reach the Ultimate Consumer,

Ottawa, June Io.-As has been re- ported in this correspondence, Can ada's sales tax has been boosted 50 per cent. Just what this means to the consumer is becoming apparent to the man in the street. Here IS an ex- ample:
 Just a few days ago a package con- taining 10 popular priced cigarettes hickcd a fellows bank roll for I5 cents, and that was plenty,
 Then the government increased the sales tax 50 per cent That should have increased the price of the pack age of cigarettes one-quarter of one cent
 Instead the dealer tackled on three cents, or an increase of 20 per cent. The manufacturer and retailer took PA cents on each package and gave the government onc-quarter of a cent
 The general public has been in pret- ty much the same position AS the cigarette smoker It took a few days for the significance of the new taxa ton to be appreciated, and the full force will not be felt until the doubled sales tax has been in effect for some time, when the perplexed housewife will realize that 1t Is harder than ever

 Cost of Living.
 'If the determining factor in this award is the change in the cost of living since last year, the figures are as follows: Massachusetts commits sion on the necessities of life, 2.4 per cent decrease; National Industrial Conference Board, 4 per cent; U. ;. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 7.1 per cent; or a total of I3.5 per cent. If the simple average of the three figures is taken it would indicate that the cost of living from June I, 1921, has been reduced AZ per cent. The award of the chairman reduces wages 5N per cent, or IN per cent. more than the reduction in the cost of living shown by the figures of the National Confer ence Board, which Is an association of employers of labor, in the same way that the American Federation Of Labor is an association of labor or ganizations. If the reduction in the cost of living shown by the index number of the National Industrial Conference Board was the basis upon which this reduction IS made, then the rate would be 5 cents an hour, in stead of which we have been reduced three cents an hour and the one-man car operators have suffered a loss Of six cents per hour. The Connecticut Company will gain by this award $2oo,ooo. The employees necessarily will lose this amount. They and their families will be compelled to make great sacrifices It is useless to talk about the necessities of the theoretical American family. We must deal with practical things Everybody must live and get as much out of life as they can. We are all anXoius to do the best we can for our children and we want to help them on their way in life.
 "The men I am representing could get much more happiness out ot a cent. two cents or three cents an hour more than they are given by this award. The real point is are they en- titled to it. On this question there is a very sharp disagreement. Judge Beach has ruled that the award made by him is just I do not agree with him. It is only fair to say, however, that much as I disagree with his reasonings and findings, 1t has seldom been my good fortune to meet with a more high-minded and conscientious gentleman on or off the bench. It IS fortunate indeed that we can leave cases affecting the welfare of so many people to a man like him, l regret that I must disagree with his award.

Reductions Averaging g, Five and One-Half Per Cent. Made All Along Line, Leaving Pay About Same as Last Six Months Re- ceipts.

Another reduction in wages, aver aging about 5A per cent, was made in the wages of Connecticut trolley employees by the board of arbitration selected to decide the the matter this week. The reduction is made in a majority report signed by Attorney Joseph Berry, representing the com pany, and Justice John K. Beach, the third man on the board while a dis senting opinion is handed down by Attorney James H. Vahey, of Boston, representing the employees. Under the rules of their organisation, that the union must abide by decision made in arbitration, the men at spe- cial meetings held Monday night when the findings were issued, voted to accept the award.
 By the majority award, which is effective as of June I, the maximum rate of pay is fixed at g cents an the $ cent rate as established during mediates are cut in proportion the minimum rate for beginners being set at 45 cents and the intermediate at 4S cents. Operators of the one man cars are to be given an addi- toinal seven cents an hour reduc- ton of three cents in their pay. The wages of all other employees, aside from the car men, are reduced 5H per cent. on the hourly wage.
 Naturally the majority decision did not please the men but nevertheless they accepted it. It leaves them re- ceiving practically the same pay as they received for the past six months or since the last arbitrator award by which their pay had been cut and they compelled to return to the company wages received in excess of the award from June I, 1921, until No vember when the award was made public, The repayment of this so- called excess was deducted by the company at a certain proportion each week, which when 1t was finally con- cluded just before June I, this year, had been leaving the men receiving about as much as the new award gives them. They had had hopes, however, of retaining the $ cent rate and thus being able to make up what had been deducted from them during the first part of the year. Their hopes were blasted, however, and ac- cording to the members of the State Conference Board, the decision was astounding and surprising. There is one satisfaction left, however, the speedy decision, making ii necessary to pay back to the company only two weeks excess at the old rate
 The decisions follow.

Those in control of our resources, our capital, our labor, and our credit arbitrarily fastened on our industries charge of $57,ooo,o 900 1000, which they afterwards doubted by the pro- cess of defation. The Government has taken approximately $II,ooo, ,ooo,- GOO of these profits in taxes. It is great pity that it did not take all of them. It has been prevented from taking more by the false cry that the exccss-profts tax was draining away our capital and therefore stifing business. Instead of this being true the taking of these profits in taxes would have eNtinguished our war debt and at the same time would have eliminated this enormous charge upon our present and future production.- Senator Ladd, Congressional Record.

MAJORITY AWARD

"1n the agreement tor SubmlSSlOn it is provided that the board of ar bitration shall be the same as in 1921, and that the evidence submitted to the arbitrators in 1921 shall be available Very little additional evil dence has been submitted except that the figures as to cost of living and as to the going rate of trolley wages in New England have been brought down to date.
 "All working conditions for the en- suing year have been agreed upon by the parties and the only issues sub mitted relate to the wages to be paid to conductors and motormen or two- man cars and operators of one-man cars for the I2 months beginning June I, 1922; it being understood, as before that if any change is made in the maximum rate paid to the motor men and conductors of two-man cars the same percentage of change shall be applied to the other employees af fected. Both parties agree that the considerations which should control the board in fixing the wage rate for the encuing year are those adopted by the Federal Transportation Act of 1920: namely:
 "'O The scales of wages paid for similar kinds of work in other indus tries.
 "'(2) The relation between wages and the cost of living.
 "'(3) The hazards of the employ ment.
 "(p Fhc training and skill re- p.,Irr"
 "'(5) The degree of responsibility.
 "'(6) The character and regularity of the employment, and
 70 Inequalities of increases in wages or of treatment, the result Ot previous wage orders or adjustments.
 The Precise Question.
 'Thc precise question before uS k existing wage rates for operators of main unchanged as fixed by this board in 1921, or whether, as tho company contends, the rate should be reduced. The decision of that qucs. ton logically depends upon whether any of the conditions above entlmrr- ated have changed since the decision Of this board in 1921. From the new evidence submitted it appears that the weighted average of the maN''1um rate Of wages Of trolley car operators in New England has fallen from r1.7 cents per hour in August, Ju2!, to 58.2 cents per hour as of June I. 1922. and that on and after July I, 1922, allow ing for changes already agreed on, ii will he 57.6 cents per hour.
 "The cost of living has also de creased since June I, IO2I, 7-I per cent according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1 per cent. according to the figures of the Ma tional Industrial Conference, and 2.4 per cent. according to the Massachu sctts commission on the necessities of life A condition of inequality result ing from previous wage adjustments has also been mitigated if not cured. This point requires some explanation.

DISSENTING OPINION.

q am compelled to dissent from the award made by the majority of the board concerning the basic rate of wages and the one-man car differ ential.
 Judge Beach made the decision last year with which l agreed. His idea this year is that last years award took up the lag in wages created by the increase in the cost of living III 1918, 1919 and 1920 He, therefore, thinks that the 5 cent rate for mo- tormen and conductors fixed last year should not be taken as the basis tor the present award. If he IS correct, then l most certainly must be wrong. if last year Judge Beach corrected ought reasonably to assume that June I, 1921, was a fair starting point to fix the wages for 1922. If there has been no substantial change, either il the cost of living or the going rate of wages in this industry then last years wages should continue this year.
 Lowest in New England.
 "The present rate of $ cents with out any change whatever IS lower than in any city in New England cor responding in size and importance with New Haven, Hartford, Bridge port, Waterbury and other cities in Connecticut It is more than two cents an hour less than the weighted average wage rate on the important street railway systems of New Eng land, but the chairman by his award has still further reduced the wages ~o that the employees of the Connec- ticut Company will for the next year receive six cents an hour less than their fellow employees on the Spring. field and Worcester systems, II cents an hour less than the men in HO1- yoke; three cents an hour less than the men in Fitchburg and Leomn- ster; 2H cents an hour less than the men in Haverhill, Beverly, Salem, ,ynn, Melrose, Chelsea, Quincy, Brockton, Taunton, and Fall River; four cents an hour less than the men in Providence and Newport, and the rest of the state of Rhode Island; 10 cents an hour less than the average wage for the year of the employees of the Boston Elevated company. l could cite many other cases to show the inadequacy of this award. The fact is, however, that the employees of the Connecticut Company, the sec ond largest street railway company in New England, will by reason of this award, be more poorly paid than al

This economic writer of world- wide repute (Dr R.

Others * * hold on the contrary with the utmost extravaganza the rich do consume. and can consume only a very small part of what is produced; yet, inconsistently these economists hold that the consumption of the masses must always be rigidly re- stricted by keeping down of wages or otherwise in order to prevent i'm pairment of our capital. - Senator Iadd in Congressional Record.
