THE LAST,BIG WAGE, RAISE? The railroad employees have done well to accept the raise given them by, the labor board. It may not be asmuch as some clasges’ of them' deserve, in _'view of present. conditions in, their industry and: ‘other industries; but on the whole it looks gur to, them, and is also about as much as the public— _‘which has to pay the bill—can stand at this time. +It brings |‘1p their means of living to about the iverage level, without unduly raising other. people’s ¢ost of- living. - 8 " Having, accepted it, the men will continue_to do i "well if they wait to 'sce what happens to wages. and prices in general, before they set about getting. ' another raise. ; ot "The public hopes,” without any animus mnut the railroad employees or any: other gronp: ofiwork- ers, that this will_be the last. big wage raise.. Granted that it virtually' completes-the general Lty ing of wages to meet the present cost of living, there is.a natural feeling that it is.time fio; stop. For if any considerable group of workers :is. to bave another raise, all groups will have to h;lfi'c an- sther, to, keep- the thing uniform and. maintain - equality with prices. And:what good wo&ild that do? For years now it has been a nip-and-tuck race between wages and prices. When wages in general go up, prices go-up; when prices go_ up, wages have to. go up to meet them. ' It-is a quest for-a. mischievous “balance: of power” which is not yet so_ widely. understood as it ought to be. o The railroad men particularly, because they are so many and so powerful, and stand in such a strategic :and ‘conspicuous position, should realize how futile it would be to seek a duplication of their present wage increase, because it would in- - evitably increase the cost of living again for every-: “’body, including themselves, just when prices show some signs of subsiding. ' ;. . It is time to:stop piling new weights ‘on. one ide and the other of the .wages.and-prices scales. - ‘And when: workmen acquiesce;:and stand -pat. on what justice they have gained, ‘without trying to profiteer, h of ‘high prices is due to capitalistic profiteering.
