COuzens Dimes With

Out In His Defense
fBy me Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON. = After-dinner
government scores again.
Item in society column, Washington
Star, Jan. 30: "The Secretary Of
the Navy and Mrs. DENLY enter
tanned at dinner last evening, when
their guests included the Minister
of China, DR.. Alfred SEE, =. SEN
ator and Mrs. James Couzens, {.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank w. Stearns,"
etc.
Item in the Senate, Jan. 30: "Sen-
ator Couzens--I did not attempt to
determine the exact acts of the Sec
rotary of the Navy. / desired to
point out that there was some JUS
LITIGATION for proceeding along the
line on which the Secretary proceed
ed, but whether to the extent to
which he proceeded / have not gone
into the testimony sufficiently to
determine. What / desired to point
out was that, while this campaign
of recrimination is going on, Con-
gress itself might take some notice
Of the manner in which it passed
the act"
Couzens Is comparatively liberal,
but is many times a millionaire. He
accepted Denby's hospitality in the
midst Of the airing by the Senate,
which is sitting virtually as court,
of the oil scandal in which DENLY
is among the men accused Of law
breaking. Stearns, his fellow-guest,
is the financial hacker of President
Coolidge, who has been trying TO
protect DENLY and Roosevelt. After
dining with these men, Couzens for
the first time gets into the debate,
and says that DENLY may merely
have misunderstood the law, and
Congress is to blame for not having
been more definite in saying what
it meant.
And that same day, on the first
three roll calls in the Senate's trial
Of the case, Juror Couzens voted
twice with the administration, to
weaken the terms Of the sentence
passed on the acts Of Fall and
DENLY and Roosevelt.

COST OF LIVING
AT DIZZY HEIGHT,
SURVEY SHO VS.
Workers Need $1,45O
for Barest Existence
By LELAND OLDs

Federated Press Industrial EditcT.)
The upward course Of the cost Of
living has not been checked, ac-
cordlng to the December survey of
the U. S. bureau Of labor statistics.
Only the lowest subsistence can be
purchased by the average wage
earner's family with the present so
called high wages. Health and com
fort are beyond the reach Of an bat
a minority even among the better
paid mechanics. Hundreds Of thou
sands of unslilled workers cannot
hope to provide even bare neces-
sites for a family.
The cost Of a wage earner's fam
lily budget is today 4 per cent above
the level Of September. 1922, and
13 per cent above the average Of
1913, the bureaus figures show. In
many industrial centers the cost of
living has increased more rapidly
than the average for the country
as a whole. Compared with the low
point Of 1922, wage earners are
paying 5 per cent more to meet
living expenses in Boston and De
troit, IL per cent more in Phila-
deiphia and Scranton, 6 per cent
more in Buffalo, 6 IL per cent more
in Chicago, and z per cent more in
Cleveland. Such increases are more
than enough to cancel apparent in
creases in wages secured by many
groups Of workers.
Landlords Greed Grows.
Increases in rents have been an
important factor in the slow but
steady encroachment Of living costs
upon the wage earner's purchasing
power. As already pointed out by
the Federated Press the government
figures are based on average rents
paid turnout the country rather than
on changes in the cost Of such
housing as the American worker can
afford. These figures show average
rents up to 81 per cent since 1918.
But other figures also originating
in the bureau of labor statistics show
that working class rents have in
creased at least 100 per cent dur
ing the ten-year period.
Correction of the increase for
the entire budget on the basis of
this rent figure would show the cost
of living today to be approximate
ly 78 per cent above the pre-war
level.
Need S1,450 To Even Exist
With living costs at this level
the minimum family budget Of the
New York factory cot mission will
demand at least 81 ,450 year. And
experts declare that tbs budget is
low in its provision faz-- fo~sA--11---
makes no pretense at providing
comforts. But to provide this low
minimum a worker must be as
sured of 50 weeks steady work at
$27.90, OF just the average wage Of
all New York factory employees in
December. To provide the minimum
comforts of the U. s. department
of labor health and decency stan
dard it would be necessary for the
annual pay envelope to contain ST.
200. And that means steady earn
ings of SAB a week turnout the
year.
Puzzle-Find the industries that
pay workers enough so that, in this
rich land, their families can enjoy
the ordinary comforts of life, not
to mention decency and health. And
the result-employment Of mothers,
infant mortality, child labor, the
development of class Of physically
unfit.

Fabulous Steel Profits Nail Gnry's
LieAbout Cost of Shorter Workday
Which Credulous Cal SWALLOWED
BY LELAND OLDS

Federated Press Industrial Editor)
Did Gary lie when he told President Coolidge that abol
ton of the 12hour day increased production costs by 1910?
that Gary using the president of the United States
vehicle for dishonest propaganda of big business against the
shorter working day.

the last three months of the
year are the largest of the
year. They set a record for
any three months in the peace
time history of the trust. And
they were earned during a Pc
Rod when the shorter working
day was in full swing. How
about that, Mr.. Gary?
Profit Rises, Hours Fall.
Profits of $18,600,197 for
October were the largest of the
year, and exceeded those of july
when steel workers were producing
approximately the same amount of
steel on the 12-hour day by nearly
100000. Even the financial col
umn lackeys Of the metropolitan
press are finding it difficult to har-
monte this fact with Gary's state
ment about the 1919 increase in cost
due to the shorter working day.
They will find it somewhat hard
er to apologize for Gary when they
glance at the following figures taken
from the u. S. department of COM
merce monthly revue showing that
taking the steel industry as a whole
no increase in wage bills was nee
essary to maintain production on the
shorter work day basis.

According to these government re-
ports 524,321 steel workers working
under the 12-hour day regime at an
average weekly wage Of approx
mately $50 produced 3,515,966 tons
of steel ingots in July. During Oc-
tober after the 12-hour day had
been abolished 521,244 steel work.
ers produced 3,547,966 tons working
for approximately the same weekly
wage. The total weekly payroll in
October was not more than 1 1-2
per cent higher than in July when
the longer day prevailed.
Such figures merely reinforce the
evidence of huge profits to prove
that steel workers are not getting
