There still lingers in the minds of many well-meaning .Americans a no¬ tion that the high cost of commodi¬ ties is somehow due to "labor's in¬ ordinate greed." They have been fed up on stories ot overall pockets bulging with bankrolls, of silk shirts and flivvers, and can not be blamed it they are prejudiced. Take building, tor instance. The nation is a million homes short be¬ cause, the papers said, the workers wouldn't be "reasonable. " But the Literary Digest has published a ta¬ ble based upon actual statistics de¬ scribing the curve of building costs s'nce 1913 that places the blame 'vhere it belongs. Selecting 1913 as normal and fix¬ ing the cost of buildjng in that year as 100 per cent, the table shows that during the war years from 1915 on building material climbed from nor¬ mal to 300 per cent above. At the same time wages of labor rose from normal to ISO per cent above. This is not all the story. While building material was going sky¬ ward, more than 100 per cent above an other commodities, as the table indicates, labor was 100 per cent be¬ low the cost of all other commodi¬ ties. At the present time building ma¬ terials are still priced at nearly 200 per cent above normal. Wages are dawn nearly to normal. The facts are not as picturesque as romance, but they tell their story. —Labor.

There still lingers in the minds of many well-meaning .Americans a no¬ tion that the high cost of commodi¬ ties is somehow due to "labor's in¬ ordinate greed." They have been fed up on stories ot overall pockets bulging with bankrolls, of silk shirts and flivvers, and can not be blamed it they are prejudiced. Take building, tor instance. The nation is a million homes short be¬ cause, the papers said, the workers wouldn't be "reasonable. " But the Literary Digest has published a ta¬ ble based upon actual statistics de¬ scribing the curve of building costs s'nce 1913 that places the blame 'vhere it belongs. Selecting 1913 as normal and fix¬ ing the cost of buildjng in that year as 100 per cent, the table shows that during the war years from 1915 on building material climbed from nor¬ mal to 300 per cent above. At the same time wages of labor rose from normal to ISO per cent above. This is not all the story. While building material was going sky¬ ward, more than 100 per cent above an other commodities, as the table indicates, labor was 100 per cent be¬ low the cost of all other commodi¬ ties. At the present time building ma¬ terials are still priced at nearly 200 per cent above normal. Wages are dawn nearly to normal. The facts are not as picturesque as romance, but they tell their story. —Labor.
