Mas-: (Spe- clal) ltoger W. Hithsun seldom iiscuHses tlie labor situation. We do not know whether tills is be cause he has tiad labor troubles of I his ofn ami u burnt child dreads ; the fire, or because labor condi tions are fundamentally a problem of huinun nature rather than a problem of statistics. The Habson Institute, however, has recently been making some studies of com mon labor conditions, the conclu sions of which a'1 very Illuminat ing. Concerning these Mr. Hub son stales us follows; "Whatever mny be true of any section of the country or any line of industry, the fact nevertheless remains that common labor is to day getting more in - commodities for an hour's work than ever be fore in t he history of the world. Furthermore, there is practically no unemployment today amongst common labor, while the demand for common labor in most sec tions of the counlry exceeds the supply. This condition is due to many rousuns, but prububly it is primarily due to the restrictions that have been Imposed on im migration since l hi war. People who have not studied the figures little reulUe the extent lo which tlx; supply of common labor has been cut off. In 1UU (fiscal your ending June 3u, 11U4) the year preceding Um war 1, 1 S.4SD im migrants came to this . counlry. Inning the succeeding years, this Immigration lias been cllt down as shown by the following- tabic: year ending June 30. month has been in some of the most highly organized industries such as the textile, shoe, mid min ing trades. Most of the wage In ereases, on the other hand, have boon umong civic employes and common labor which have prac tically no labor unions. Apparent ly the ohl law of supply anil de mand, which we all like lo apply to the other fellow tbut which none of us like to have applied to our selves) Is still working on the Job. Common labor, without any union organization, Is prospering today as never before; while shoe workers, mine workers ami textile workers, who are highly organized arc loating through unemploy ment. Another very Interesting side light on the situaliun is the fig ures which are now avuilahlc from tlu stockholders lists of certain large corporations showing the oc- u put ions of Ine people who are buying stocks today. The most a refill records regarding such are kept by the American Telephone ind Telegraph company, which divides stockholders into seventeen groups.

Is the peak for the present ns it Is estimated that the ligures for 1925 will be onlv about 7u per cent of the figures for 1924 and these will be largely old men and women. In the meanwhile the demand for common labor Is constantly in creasing. With the supply being cut off -and demand becoming greater, common lubor wages are bound to hold high figures. Com mon labor wages In the south havi doubled nnd trebled since 19111. am in most sections common labor wages are now above, the peak war times. In some sections, where the rato al. present is li"c un hour attempts arc being made to raise this to hoc. "It .Is Interesting to note Hut the wages' of common labor hav climbed upward without the aid of anv labor union. 1 here are course, instances where common la bor is unionized, but these an Wry few. Keououilsia point to this fact rs evidence, of their state nient that labor unions do not in crease wages in the long run. bor unions Improve working condi Hons and tend to restrict the sup ply, but they never secure for la bor more wages in the terinu o commodities for an hour's work than If the unions did not exist This statement Is apparently borne out by the fact I hat the greatest reduction In wages during the pnst mure comfortable home than the bank clerk or some other chap who wears a whllo collar. Consider ing all labor In nil. icctlouM of the counlry It averages up to about a normal condition. This Is why the country Is more free from strikes today than it has been for a long time. There Is no excess of w.ik,o Increases or wage, decreases. This condition iy reflected I the Huh none hart, which today registers 1 per cent below normal. If, how ever, u Hnbsonchart were con structed In which common labor was the only barometer used, we would find it running loo or per cent above normal." 200 THOUSANDS SAW SHOW YESTERDAY (Continued front rage One.) ladies' relay: Miss Trickey, first; Mrs. ttaxe, second.

''Many iro wondering why it is that new building holds up so well and pavings tie posits are cnnl iuti ally increasing, when general busi ness is not very good. 1 he ans wer to this Is that a very largi' proportion of tlu new building is or worktngmen's houses und apart- nts or other structures financed by securities purchased by work ing people. Moreover, savings bank depositors ure very largely made up of common laborers, so called. These people have not yet been caught by the Instalment net, as have executives, clerks, and the I so-called middle class. It Is true j that 'common labor Is fast get ting automobiles on the instalment plun. but otherwise they pay cash I pretty much for what they pur-i (diase because their credit has not yet boon established, even to the instalment dealer. AU of this I means that common labor offers al moat fertile field for manufiu tin crs und merchants at the present' -tittle Advertisers would do well to for get, once In a while, their high brow customers and appeal more often to common labor and general' wage worker.". "Tremendous changes are Ink ing place In the status of work Ingmen. The time is fast approach ing when there may be more social prestige in wielding the pick and shovel than In wielding the pen ami typewriter. It was only a few years, ago that a girl would rather have her sweetheart u clerk In a store at $12 a week than be a carpenter at $2f. per week. Today, however, the sensible girl Is weigh ing the situation carefully seeing that (he carpenter, bricklayer and pln.slerer may be able lo give her Dancing frocks have done much toward keeping us from being sho cked by Uilhlng suits.
