COMMON LABOR
IS WELL FIXED
I Markets
HA HSt N PAItK. 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. This company finds that
ommon labor heads (lie list with
4,:i 1 7 subscriptions und comes
second in the list of Number of

''Many iro wondering why it is
that new building holds up so well

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

pretty much for what they pur-i
