He based his view on the results

Colonel AyreS asserted that the
report might prevent sustained
recovery because it might obstrucr
capital spending by the railroads

investors from purchasing their

The hourly wage rates de-
manded by building trade unions
have been above the remuneration
received by the average working
class family. That this has been
a retarding influence on home
building cannot be disputed.

The remuneration paid skilled
railway workers has lately been
the highest in the industry's an
mails. There have been other
causes, but that the cost Of labor
has been one influence in bring
ing about the present plight OF
our rail transportation systems
can hardly be gainsaid. The total
number employed by Americas
railroads has been almost cut in
half during the last dozen years.
What has been happening in
the newspaper publishing field?
Union efforts have brought about
successive increases in wages of
linotype operators, pressmen, and
other mechanical workers. More

mentS.
Can the fact that the number
of newspaper publications has
seriously decreased be regarded as
wholly unrelated to the stiff rise
in the cost Of production?
What has been the chief cause
Of the decline of New England as
Americas greatest textile manu-
featuring section and the hegira
of cotton mills to the South? The
answer is: the difference be-
tween the wages which have been
paid II. the North and the South.
Consider what has been hap
pening in the worlds rubber
manufacturing metropolis, Akron.
It has been such a hotbed Of labor
troubles, strikes, lawlesSneSs that
leading manufacturers there have
felt compelled to establish plants
in other localities.
HIGH WAGE ADVOCATE
This must not be interpreted as
remotely a plea against payment
of the highest wages possible.
The writer mas for quarter of a
century actively advocated the
payment of the highest wages pos
Sible.
But the vital, unacceptable fact
remains that wheneIer any class
or group, whether monarchical or
other political overlords, whether
the guilds Of the past, whether
cliques of industriallStS, whether
powerful trade unions, have con-
trived to feather their own nests
unduly at the expense Of the com,
