“LABOR MEN SEE + Brooklyn, Sag ‘NEW MENACE IN SWOLLEN PROFTS Huge Sums Made Now. Arc \ Likely to Be Capitalized, It Is Pointed Out. WASHINGTON, May 7.—A study of profiteering in American industry, made under the auspices of the Rail- way Brotherhoods, was presented to the Railroad Labor Board to-day in support of the railway workers’ de- mands for higher pay and to refute the charge that increased labor costs are responsible for the high cost of living, Prepared by W. J. Lauch, former Secretary of the War Labor Board, the study seeks to show that profi- teering im industry is the funda- mental cause for high prices in prac- tically all commodities, It gives many statistics to support that contention and points out that the Increase in the wealth of the wealthy is an “un- answerable refutation” to all attempts to charge labor with profiteering, “For, if invested wealth,” says the study, “gets a larger proportion of the national income than formerly the man who gives personal service or labor’ is bound to get a smaller pro- portion. The menace of the future lies in the probability that the vast profits which are still held in reserve will be capitalized in order that, un- der the pretext of a fair return on capital, those who own them may continue to take the larger proportion of national income.” Of the extraordinary Increase in the price of sugar, now amounting to 800 per cent., the study says, the increase in labor cost paid by the consumer was less than 15 per cent. In the meat packing industry, where profits were said to have increased between 800 and 400 per cent., the labor item was shown so small that a wage increase | of 100 per cent. would add less than 5 per cent. to the total cost of the meat.
