1t is a fact that wages never have kept
pace with prices in a rising market. They
are not keeping pace today. Prices are still
going up while wages are tagging. 1t is also
a fact that wages drop farther than prices
during a depression; the iobless man without
a paycheck cannot pay any price whatever.
no matter how low. So, both when prices
are inflationary and when they are in a state
of collapse. the working man. the wage
Garner is hurt more than any other group
in our society.
Only when prices are high enough to sus-
tain a modest profit without exciting buyer
resistance. and when wages creep up to a
more or less stabilized relationship with
prices. does the toiler get anything like a
break. Both initiation and dweflation are bad.
If we were to take August l. 1915 as a
starting point and call it 100, and then prof.
ect the curves. both Of prices and wages, we
would get a ~slanting line from 100 to 1875
up to March. 1913, representing hourly earn
ings of working people. Starting at the same
point with the price curve, we would get a
more ~erratic, saw-tooth kind of a line, arriv-
ing at 155 in March, 1913. In other words,
prices jumped SIS points while wages went
up rs.
Strangely enough, holding wages down
doesn't keep prices from advancing, though
every time wages go up a point, prices adj
vance two. Often prices go up while wages
remain stationary. That is because wages,
after all, have little effect on prices, espe-
cially in a period of shortage such as we are
now passing through.
It's human to want more money, so that
we can rise our living standards, buy more of
the good things we all want. That particu-
lar urge, as well as rising living costs, adds
pressure to the wage line. 1t also makes
sense that in an economy such as ours, when a
more perfect balance between production

Dock Strike Will Cut
Fresh Food for GIs
In Asia, General Says
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s.-
American soldiers in the Far East
will have less fresh food next month
as result of the 2s-day-old West
Coast maritime tieup, Brig. Gen.
Paul F. Yount says.
The general, commander of the
Army Transportation Corps, said
yesterday that at best the Army
can carry in its own refrigerated
ships about four-ffths of normal
supplies. Private shipping firms
normally carry such refrigerated
cargoes for the Army, but have re-
fused to do so now since it would
mean dealing with striking CIO
longshoremen.
The Waterfront Employers Asso-
citation and Pacific American ship
owners refused to talk further with
the striking union so long as the
union leaders won't sign noncom-
munism affidavits under the Taft
Hartley Act.
! Other firms, not members of the
waterfront association, are loading
Army dry cargoes with union labor,
and sufficient ships are available.
There still is no indication of any
move toward a strike settlement.
President Harry Bridges of the
Longshoremen's Union said last
night that he was willing to accept
the proffered services of Mayor
Elmer Robinson of San Francisco
as mediator-but employers had al
ready declined.
The strike began September 2
after negotiations collapsed. The
water front union demanded a Is
cent wage increase to $182 an hour
and continued union control of hir-
ing halls by which workers are as
signed to jobs. -Four seafaring
unions struck with the longshore-
men.
Only special-exception cargoes,
like the Army's, have moved since.

ANS Officials
 To Survey Sites For New Hospital

Don Foster, superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, and Ralph Mize, district construction engineer, were expected to arrive in Palmer today (Tuesday) to make survey of possible sites for the proposed ANS hospital.
 MT Foster said it was his re- sponsibility to survey and make a report of all possible sites, but the ultimate decision will not be announced until represen- tatives of Congress correlate the reports and possibly make anoth- CT survey later in the summer. The ANS head said he would visit all sites proposed in letters written by Chamber of Com merce members earlier this year.
 The proposed hospital, as now planned, would be a 400-bed in- stitution with at least 100 beds reserved for general hospitaliza- tion. It is possible that there will be 75 beds to be made available for employees of the Alaska Rail road also. However the majority of the hospital beds will be occu- pied by tuberculosis patients.
 MT. Foster said the hospital, when constructed, will bring a million dollar annual payroll to the area in which it is located. He said it was the plan of ths ANS to build quarters for hos pital employees, wherever it is located.
 The ANS head further report ed that future plans of the ser vice call for the reconstruction of Ekutna school at it's present site. An appropriation in the 1850 budget will be asked for this purpose. Once the school is again in use, it will be used primarily as a boarding school for native children whose par ents in tuberculosis sanitarium.

Plans for DissoIvinq
Commonwealth Corr.
Approved by SEC
BY the Associated Press

The Securities and Exchange
Commission last night announced
approval of plan to dissolve Com
monwealth and Southern Corp. of
Delaware, one of the Nations larg-
est public utility holding companies.
SEC ordered the company liqui-
dated in 1910 after finding its cor
porate structure and vast holdings
constituted a violation of the Fed
eral Holding Company Act.
Numerous plans subsequently
were advanced for liquidating the
company's assets before today's ap-
proval of proposals which provided
that:
l. Holders of CommonWealth's out
standing preferred shares will re-
ceive, for each share held, securities
in various subsidiaries of the hold
ing company.
2. After these distributions, hold
ers of common stock will receive Sc
curities from other Commonwealth
subsidiaries, principally the COM
mon stock of Southern Co., VIII
mington, Del, and Ohio Edison Co.,
Akron. Distribution of these assets,
however, are subject to repayment
by Commonwealth of bank loans
which may total SIS, ,000, 900.
SEC recently authorized these
loans to enable Commonwealth to
finance construction programs for
certain subsidiaries. Retirement OF
the obligations Is planned from cur
