Wage Changes Very Few.
Considering all labor in all sections
of the country. it averages up to about
a normal condition. This is why the
country is more free from strikes to-
day than it has been for long time.
There is no excess of wage increases
or wage decreas ses.
This condition is reflected in the
Babsonchart, which today registers l
per cent below normal. If, however. a
chart were constructed in which COM
mon labor was the only barometer
used, we would find it running 100 or
200 per cent above normal.

housewives come second, following
common labor. This also illustrates
most forcibly the great change talk.
ing place today, namely, the coming
of women into a financial independ-

Real estate agents, bond statesmen

the way, will soon become very "un-
common if the tide continues its

Workers Building Homes.
Many are wondering why it is that
new building holds up so well and
savings deposits are continually in
very good. The answer to this is that
a very large proportion of the new
building is of workingmen's houses
and apartments or other structures
financed by securities purchased by
working people. Moreover, savings
bank depositors are very largely made
up of common laborers, so,called.
These people have not yet been caught
by the installment net, as have eXecu-
tives. clerks and the so-called middle
class.

fast getting automobiles on the INSTALL

cash pretty much for what they pur
chase, because their credit has not yet
been established, even to the INSTALL
ment dealer. All of this means that
common labor offers most fertile
field for manufacturers and merchants
at the present time. Advertisers would
do well to forget. once in while, their
highbrow customers and appeal more
often to common labor and general
wage workers.
Tremendous changes are taking
place in the status of workingmen.

Labor Demand Increasing.

In the meanwhile, the demand for
common labor is constantly increas-
ing. With the supply being cutoff and
the demand becoming greater, COM
mon labor wages are bound to hold
To high figures. Common labor wages
in the South have doubled and treb-
led since 1913, and in most sections
common labor wages are now above
the peak of war times. In some sec
tions where the rate at present is
90 cents an hour attempts are being
made to raise this to 80 cents
1t 1s interesting to note that the
wages of common labor have climbed
upward without the aid of any labor
union. There are, of course, instances
where common labor is unioniZed
but these are very few. Economists
point to this fact as evidence of their
statement that labor unions do not
increase wages in the long run. Labor
unions improve working conditions
and tend to restrict the supply, but
they never secure for labor more
wages in the terms of commodities for
an hours work than if the unions did
not exist.
This statement is apparently borne
