THREAT OF 1927
By LELAND OLDs, Federated Press.

That 1927 and 1923 will see drop in labor's
purchasing power appears in the report of
committee of credit-finance leaders, stock ex-
change firms and banking houses. The report is
based on sweeping survey of credit conditions in
81 industries, with special reference to deferred
payment plans 1t admits dangerous credit con-
ditions.
Partial payment plans were developed, accord
ing to the report, primarily to provide market
for the overexpanded plant capacity with which
manufacturers emerged from the war. Foreign
markets could not absorb the surplus. Rather than
scrap the excess capacity they developed an artif
clal stimulant for the domestic market.
As with any dope, however, increasing doses of
the partial payment stimulus proved necessary.
Bankers and brokers now realize that it can't 90
on forever. So they trying to forestall a cri-
teal collapse.
In automobile financing says the committee.
competition has torn most, if not all, the bars of
safety and discretion.
1.-THE economic conditions on the Immediate
horizon tend toward deflation of business. Since
1870 the building industry has increased its volume
year by year. until now it gives employment to
close to 100000 persons, directly and indirectly
besides beng linked with steel, paint, lumber, ce-
ment and many other trades which give employ
ment to millions of others 1t is now fairly GER
tam that the peak of construction has passed and
II is only reasonable to assume that 1927 and 1923
VIII see a considerable decrease in the volume of
oulidlng with corresponding diminution of en-
poyment IN the building and allied industries This
decrease must inevitably throw large amount of
labor INTO the market. A large amount of avail
able labor means a lowering of the wage scale
which, as natural consequence nred;ca+es . lon,
er purchasing power"
The sure approach of the saturation point in
the motor industry coming with the decrease IN
building will accentuate the decline in labor, MY
chasing power
