The increase in available labor. noted should have its et- lowering prices, and the ex- made by the increased shipments should almost take care of the inereased the country over, fect in tra profts cost of shipment. Never has there been a time when a man should understand the causes of things as now. To understand the is to find the remedy Wrongs, it is believed the people studying cause and effect as before. They are getting cause the way for and are never “wise." JAPANESE LABOR UNIONS, Labor unions in Japan are unauthor- ized by law. to take authorize The government intends time by the them. But the men who labor in Japan do not like the idea at all. They have their associations, and they believe that the government to claim that benefits is the a strike whenever occasion requires, and of negotiating in a body-——collective bargaining. One always thinks of the Japanese as a rather wily sort of a person. is Inclined the seeing men who regulate things there deem it wise to smile at the ingman and to pretend to give him something, In which, as a marcter of fact, there will be a sting for the man who works. There is no disputing the advantages labor in this country has gamed by the establishment and growth their unions. There have been times when those unions, by demanding too much, have threatened them- selves through loss of public sympa- thy, which they possess as a rule with all except, perhaps, the old-time em- ployer of labor. Given equal amount of ability to reason and study, forelock and is going their the chief right of going on ignore to labor One to believe that far- work- of an with the time necessary therefor, and given a desire for fairness, the bor unions in this country would be unmitigated good. It only labor delves into matters out- its sphere, and is selfish, or the employer class position, that trouble arises. unions in Japan have the advanced stage of in It interest- ing to watch their development, and whether or not they the experience of unions in this country. la- an is when side of when similar Labor reached takes a not those be this country. will profit by “ATTACK, Referring to Gene ATTACK” al Mangin's com- plimentary words about the American fighter, namely that attack and attack tack, best he knew how to and then that winning again at- and reiterating this is the any war, it is to be noted that the rent committee Is going to work immediately.

There many persons eager to settle here and make homes. They would jump atany chances offered. And it is to be hoped that under the oclassification ‘“‘unde- sirable habitations,” will be listed those in the hands of profiteering landlords. It is to bes remembered, however, that a house may have the reputation of being pne tm‘m been tions suitable are “JEST RUMINATIN.” (Robert Russell.)

CONFLIOT IN TESTIMONY As an evidence off the conflicting testimony confronting the student. of notes is to be taken of the report that there is a tendency to reduce wages, with' causes there- and the report that comes today that the movement of factory work- ery earnings is still Wpward The two statements miay harmon- ize, but when one considers the num- ber of factory workers, and the rela- tion their wages have to the great to- tal of wages paid, it would not seem possible that there could exist a ten- dency toward lowsging of all wages and at the same tim éntinuation’ of the upward trend 5(' the wages of factory workers. f It weekly affairs today, for, is said that the Firne average arnings of over 600,000 work- ers employed by 1648 manufacturers of New York State who report each month to the Bureau of Statistics of the State Industrial commission, $28.77 which is an increase of 32 cents per week over, the May average. It is quite possible that the figures for July may 't‘onect a downward was ,trend. Changes come quickly now, and the records from month to month may decided differences. But even for July do nét trend men- its show though the figures indicate the downward tioned, it is believed to exist and results will be seen, not, however un- til lower prices are in sight.
