Their proposition in a general way is: (1) To get manufacturers to base to-day’spriceson to-day’e costs of raw materials; taking \a Joss, if necessary, on raw ma-= terials purchased when prices were higher. (2) To get retailers to liqui- date stocks on hand purchased above present day costs. Good work! Not a full solution of the problem of unemployment, but prob- ably the best we can do until Labor concludes to do its part and really reduce its own prices. The very thing we have preached and _ practised ourselves ever since raw material prices began to recede. | Whenever and wherever jwe found we could replace | i stocks for less, down went jour prices of actual costs.
