WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. H.
Wages in the United States have more
than doubled since the pre-war per-
iod and are now at the highest point
ever reached.
This fact, if it stood alone, would
not necessarily mean the greater pros
perity of the wage Garner. For in
stance, if prices had risen faster than
wages the buying power of the high
wages would be less than the buying
power of the lower ones when a low
er price level prevailed.
The Department of Labor has com
pared the rise in wages with the rise
in living costs and shown that the
purchasing power Of wages in terms
of necessities of existence now is high

Definite and practically complete
figures which offer a brief but at the

These definite figures point up the
assertion made in the many year-end
BUSINESS reviews that 1925 was il
many respects the best business PEAS

Thus pig iron production Is an IN

er than it ever has been. This is be-
cause wages have risen faster than
prices.
In 1921 the purchasing power Of
wages was Is per cent higher than
in the pre-war period of 1918. In 1922
the purchasing power dropped one
point to is per cent above pre-war
and in 1928 the figure rose to % per
cent above 1913. It went to 81 per
cent in 1924 and 81 per cent in 1926.
The wage figure used in the COM
putation is the average in the hourly
rates paid to workers in organized
trades in all sections of the United
States. The price level used in the
computation was the average price Of
necessities such as food, clothing, and
rent.
