would not hold prices down and
would wreck the nation--the auto
industry included--and ruin the &C.
onomy."
The attitude of the principal labor
leaders is also indicative of things
to come. At the recent CLIO conven-
ton in Portland. Oregon, Mr. Muir
ray, Mr.. Reuther and other execu-
tives in the organization laid most
of the emphasis on plans for OBJ
tanning repeal of the Taft Hartley
Act, and for the framing of legisla-
ton which. in their view, would
be favorable to labor. AT the same
time. they made it perfectly clear
that they will demand, as general
thing. substantial wage increases.
The AT Of I. is not SO aggressive
in attitude, but there is little doubt
that it will follow a similar policy.
It might be argued, as. theoret-
ical proposition, that higher wages
need not constitute any particular
problem to industry--that all il
has to do is to raise its prices to
compensate and carry on in the
same old groove. But that argument,
in many instances, is simply not
workable in practice, and for a
variety of reasons.
First, there is a group of basic
industries that cannot adjust thei
charges without permission of one
or more governmental agencies.
These are the regulated industries,
of which the railroads are the most
conspicuous at present. In spite of

On top of that, it is not only the
Individual buyer that must be con-
sidered, The big industrial buyer
often dominates the picture. For
instance, coal is source of energy
which must be sold in competition
with other sources of energy. such
as oil. If coal prices should get out
Iof line, there would be gradual
Ishift to other fuels-and then, of
course, the employment offered by
coal would steadily decline.
Industries serving the demand
for luxuries and semi-luxuries-
things people can do without if they
have to-are especially concerned
as the wage problem moves to the
front again. Motion pictures are a
good Illustration Of this. Box office
receipts in the United States have
been drifting downward. There has
been heavy decline in foreign in
come, due to currency restrictions,
freezing Of funds, and stiff taxes
abroad. The top movie minds think
THAT current ticket prices cannot be
urther raised without SCATTERING
leffect on attendance. Efforts to re-
duce the production costs of pic
lures and still keep them attract
life to the potential customer have
not been too successful. So here too
the prospect of higher wages is
the cause of many headache.
Labor argues that incureases in
living costs have made higher wage
necessary. Industry replies that the
trend of living costs is inevitably
tied to the trend of wages. There
IS great deal to be said on both
sides. The problem is to find COM
mon meeting ground. Efforts in that
direction will TAXI up large
share of the national energy dur
ing the coming months.

TEST VALUE OF
CHILLING HAMS
BEFORE CURING

Chilling hams before applying
curing ingredients did not affect
flavor nor reduce spoilage in rec
emit tests at the Mississippi Expert
.ment Station
The tests were conducted by p
G. Bedenbaugh, of the Experiment
Station staff, and w. L. Richmond,
of the Extension Service.
Hams taken from pigs produced
by the Experiment Station were US
ed in the test The pigs had been
fed and handled under uniform
conditions prior to slaughter. To
further insure true comparison.
the left ham was compared to the
right ham from the same carcass
after the two hams mad received
different treatment in curing.
The dry curing mixture used in
| all of these tests was composed of
8 pounds of salt, pounds Of sugar,
and ounces of saltpeter. The brine
used in all of this work was made
from a mixture of 8 pounds of
salts, two pounds of sugar, and two
ounces of saltpeter. Two and one
fourth pounds of this mixture was
dissolved in each gallon of wa
ter.
The hams to be chilled were NOV
ed into the Chill rooms as quickly
as the hogs were slaughtered. After
the hams remained in the chill room
overnight the temperature was a.
round 38 degrees F. down to the
bone in the hams the following
morning when the first curing in
gradients were applied.
Hams to be sailed before remov-
| ing the animal heat were cut from
the carcass as soon as the pigs were
dressed. They were sailed imme-
diately. The temperature around

probably decline during the COM
ing year. However even if this
happens, it will be offset by higher
rices in other directions princi-
pally in the field of manufactured
goods
A recent statement by Henry
Ford II indicates the trend of
thinking on the top industrial lev
els. According to him, a fourth
round wage demand ''is inevitable"
Then he said. Prices, too, must go
up. Prices are high today, maybe
too high-hut we can't lower them
without lowering wage and material
costs When asked for his views on
price controls MIR. Ford said it

ment is only about three per cent.
Very heavy demands for wage in
creases are being made on them,
and more may follow. Even il the
ice should grant higher rates to
compensate for changing conditions
the time factor involve dis serious.
Wage raises, when granted, 60 into
effect at once and are often retro
active. Higher fares and freight
chargs are normally granted only
months of investigation and are
not retroactive. Even then, as a ge-
neral rule, the rate increases are
never quite sufficient to offset the
wage boosts.
There is another group of indust-
ries which must meet foreign COM
petition. Here shipping is the best
example. According to the statist-
les, seamen's pay has risen 207 per
cent since 1899. The maritime un-
ions want still higher wages, along
with other expensive concessions
At the same time, the companies
volume of business and their profits
have declined Foreign lines, which
pay far lower wages and can oper-
ate more cheaply in all ways, are
getting more and more tonnage.
Finally, there are any number Of
industries which are perfectly free
to raise prices as high as they like
but must keep a worried eye on the
consumer. In other words, it is one
thing to price an article at a given
figure, but it is different thing
to get people to buy it at that fig
ure. Consumer resistance. has be.

Damage Suit
Looms In Crash

Cleveland patrolman Anton
Holub, driver of police car
which crashed into the car of
Walter Branum, 40, Oak Harbor,
and seriously injured Mrs. Law
renee Ludwigsen, Port Clinton,
has been ordered by Cleveland
Police Chief George Matowitz to
pay $500 for repair of the police
car.
Who is going to pay the dam
ages to Branum's car and for
Mrs. Ludwigsen's disqualification
and damages remains g puzzle.
Mrs. Ludwigsen suffered a frac-
tured skull and fractured knee
cap in the crash.
John Urbancik assistant Cleve-
land law director, told Branum
that he has on basis for a judg-
ment against the city as the Ohio
code excludes police and fire de-
partments from liability. Police
cars are presumed always to be
responding to an emergency, un-
der the law. Urbancik said Bran
us could sue patrolman Holub,
whose insurance does not cover
operation of a police vehicle.
Branum said his own insurance
policy covers medical expenses
of his passengers up to $1,000
If his company balks at paying
damages, Branum probably will
bring suit against the Cleveland
patrolman. The crash occurred
two weeks ago in Lakeshore
boulevard as the Ottawa county
group was attending sales
meeting in Cleveland.
