There is no question that the day will come when industry will slacken and it i= possible that many bread winners will be out of wor Tt is for this contingency that far- secing men have been .urging the? workers of the country to spend their wages wisely, and it is believed that the people generally are heeding the warning to some extent. Anvone with common sense who will sit down and study-out the sit vation seriously will realiza that there must be a drastic changze. §r the cost of living is to come down wages must ma%e a corresponding descent.
