Chairman Pierce and Secretary which thinated last April in a 100 per American labor union conven! held at Carnegie Hall to denounce the ao- tivities of un-American agitators in the organized labor movement and to formulate plans for their suppression. A study by the committee of the causes of radicalism and incentives which are driving many thousands of organized and unorganized working people to join the radical movement convinced them that one of the prin- cipal contributory reasons was the depreciation of the value of the workers’ wages through steady in- creases In the prices of food, clothing and house rent. They found that al- though labor is more highly paid than at the beginning of war in 1914, the workers are receiving a lesser wage because the dollar has a purchasing power only half that of MWh the Oost of Living Committ ith the Cost oj tee the question became not especially how may wages be increased, but more particularly how may the wages now paid be made to represent actual in- creased value, Bearing this viewpoint in mind the committee reported to President Holland that if the spread of destructive and revolutionary dis- content was to be checked a way must be found to reduce the cost of living. “Unless the cost of living tn the ectrically Sealed Tight.\ BY ty Wrapped to insure its perfect con- dition in all climates and seasons.
