And Yet They Howl:
Labor Shortage

New York, Dec. 5.-The cry of
"labor shortage" periodically raised
by employing interests, should not be
taken seriously. Here is what a lead
ing financial journal says of present
day production capacity:
"Overproduction has brought about
the present generalization of the raw
sugar market, has been responsible for
the drop in cotton prices, brought on
demorafization in the soft coal indus
try, hurt the oil industry and forced
many of the high-cost copper compa-
nies to either close or sell their pro-
duct at a loss. And there are other
industries, notably the steel industry,
that have suffered for long stretches
because of too much capacity. There
is even too much capacity now, as the
mills, operating at not much over so
percent of capacity, are turning out
more ingots than ever before"

Militarized Retirement

miitarized for the benefit of high
er-ups who stood aloof when ofgamz-

tablished, the high-paid executive and

dent champions of retirement. They
have always been included in the act,
but they now demand a preferential
status. The present yearly maximum
for annuity is s720. The organized
employes will ask congress to IN
crease this To 81 200. This is unsatls-

employe to live after retirement a

rsist the establishment of federal
pensions based on salaries received,
and will mist that the maximum an
