He said that Hitler was con-

account said that Hitler was un-

He added that Hitler never

WAGE INCREASES
 (New York Times)

Sidney Hillman has called for 20 per cent increase in wages and for continual ton of price control. This wage increase would be designated to offset the decline in weekly earnings of labor resulting from the reduction of overtime and the gradual elimination of other wartime fac tors contributing to the pay envelope. In the various demands for higher wage rates the fact is frequently overlooked that such increases have a two-fold ef- feet: (a) the purchasing power of work CTS is increased (provided employment is not discouraged), and (b) the cost of production is increased. Although the emphasis is usually given to the former, it is clear that the rise in costs which would attend large increase in basic wage rates is equally important
 During the war period the increase in labor and unit costs has been obscured and has not had to be fully reflected in prices because it has been offset in part by the reduction in overhead costs at- tending the record wartime volume of production and the decline in selling costs. As wartime volume is curtailed, overhead costs per unit and selling costs,
