The audience gasps. For the

She was a Bad Actor. Under

The United States Steel
Corporation has announced a

wages, and Bethlehem has fol.
lowed on its heels, and other
manufacturers Of steel will
have to bow to the ukase of
the giants. The "deflation OF
wages" has begun. Other forms
of industry probably will take
this action as their cue. Not
only industrialists but, as we
are informed, financierS have
long been insisting that wages
must be brought down.
1t is the contention OF one
type of business brains" that
too much money has been
going into wages, that might
better go into profits for the
few. The effect and purpose
of this action is to protect
profits by lowering the standard
of living. There is nothing
that Government can do
about it.
The Administration in Wash
ington cannot be blamed for the
action of the steel corporations.
Naturally the last thing it
wants is a lowering of the
wages of the workers. It asked

others who still have jobs are
afraid they are going to lose
them and they, are saving all
they can against the day of
unemployment.
Hundreds Of thousands of
others have been limiting their
purchases because their wages
have been reduced, and they

did. Now a third of a million

people skeptical about the
superiority of the brains Of
great captains of industry.
These reductions are not made
because the steel industry has
been losing money. But the
profits are not what they were,
the dividends are not so good,
and so money is taken away
from the workers, who have
never had too much, that profits
may be maintained. It is the
old story of subordinating men
to money.

merchants at Gary, and what
sycophants they must be, if they

wages of the mill workers in
their town. They are sure 1t is
going to revive business"
These workers with 10 per
cent less to spend are expected
now to spend more! If they
spend 10 per cent less it
will be these merchants who will
suffer, since they are dependent
wholly on the patronage OF the
men of the mills.
But they are quoted as de-
lighted. Are they afraid in
Gary to tell what they really
think, or are they simply silly?

S3O,OOO,OOO Less for
Steel Workers to Spend

Steel Workers to Spend
If this is the beginning OF a
general "deflation of wages"
throughout the country it
means a reduction in the pur-
chasing power of the workers
of hundreds of millions. It is
estimated that the pay roll OF
the steel industry this year is
$500, 900, 900: which means, on
a 10 per cent reduction, that
steel workers will have $780,
900, 900 less to spend.
That is just one industry.
Just how this enormous reduc-
ton in the purchasing power
of the workers is going to in
crease the sales of the mer-
chants is a mystery that only

of industry" can unravel. And
