CHICAGO TRIBUNE JOINS UNION CHORUS; SINGS WITH ORGANIZED WORKERS, THIGH
 WAGES ARE BETTER THAN CHEAP LABOR"

ges are high is occasionally the hard headed business man-the manufacturer
 But who buys his products? The millionaire jobber or department store owner with whom his biggest contract IS made?
 No! Directly or indirectly, his ulti- mate consumer is the wage earner. Of consume but little. Our whole struc ture of farms and factories depends up on the power of the masses to buy
 China and Japan have hundreds of millions of workers jealous to labor long hours for a few cents a day. Have these nations prosperity?
 But let us not think that our high wages are a cause of our prosperity They are mere symbol of our pro ductivity, which is the real cause. The money i'll circulation per capita in the U. $. has increased from $25 in 1898 to S5O III 1922. But the per capita wealth ot the country is seventy times as great as the money i'll circulation.
 Wages are high because there is work tor everyone. The great American peo- ple-lntelllgent, trained inspired by peace and free institutions, equipped with sci drawing upon the inestimable resources of continent-the great American peo- pie IS at work. It is growing thing making things, building things High wages of war times were unhealthy, for they were due to the absence of millions of men at war and to the manufacturer of useless tools of destruction High wages of today, on the other hand, are due to the fact that this nation is pro- duclng foods, clothing automobiles, mo vies; furniture, books, houses, fuel-al1 the material comforts of life-in a vol tune never before approached by any similar body of people.
 Since more of everything is being produced it is natural that everyone should have more of everything An through the medium of higher wages or profits or fees or rents this distribution is being accomplished Practically every American is today enjoying more com forts, conveniences, entertainment, bet ter food, clothing, recreation, than his father ever did ill the good old days before the war.
 High wages mean that the masses are going to buy grapefruit and grand pianos, fur coast and sedans, travel and bonds, washing machines andbeauty pre- parations"

Out-of-Work Issue
 Serious in England

London, England, Nov I7-"The unemployed problem has reached the point where the pressure will be so great that all the steps which were declared to be impracticable will be solemnly pursued by those who have always resisted them," declared John R. Clynes, president of the National Union of General Workers, member of parliament and British food con troller during the war.
 The trade unionist shows that the number of out-of-works are increas- ing at such rapid rate that even re- action and blind conservatism is be- coming alarmed at the prospects this coming winter.
 The governments boast that 1t has expended over $2,ooo, 100000 in un- employment relief is no remedy, said President Clynes.
 That does credit to the heart" he said, "but it is not statesmanship. In these days a cabinet must prove that 1t is more than a body of relieving officers.
 "The immediate problem is how to finance internal schemes for useful labor and organize and direct them for the mutual benefit of the workers in the nation Statesmen should solve this problem. It will not be solved by
 scared or timid ministers who fear

move in the direction of emergency measures to meet what is an emer- gency situation.
 Every relief money changed into wage money for work dine would be an act of statesmanship compared with the costly drifting and blunder- ing which so far we have suffered If we had the courage to spend in the form of wages for work the money now paid in relief, together with, say, a sum equal to one-third of each days interest paid on the national debt, the financial side of the question would be settled Or another line would be to raise a substantial loan at low interest. Nothing would pay the com mercial community better"
