Part of the increase, reports the Depart- ment of Labor, is due to a greater number of men employed and part to higher wages Wages in the iron and steel industries have gone up 60.3 per cent. in the total amount paid, while the number of men employed las increased 36 per cent. The car building industry is using 36 per vent, more men and paying wages that total 51 per cent. higher. Producers and manufacturers all over the country heve to put on extra speed to keep up with the new pace. One after another they ; raise wages without quite knowing how their business can siand it, trusting to the magie of prosperity to pull them through. ; Is it a long-winded prosperity this time, or is it a breathless epurt started by an overstimulated group of war industries?
