W I \j N A V* 1" I 'h&S 1 1 Indianapolis.—"The American work man is efficient when his wages make it worth while to be efficient," says Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers' Journal, in discussing a statement by the New York Trust Company that the tremendous in crease in business is due to high wages. "Cutting down the buying power of the miner—or any other class of la bor—shuts off that much prosperity," says the labor editor. "Restricting prosperity is decreasing factory production and the corresponding use of coal. Thus the vicious circle is complete the innocent suffer, eco nomically, with the guilty. "When the miners refused to be de flated at the end of the war a great cry went up that the union was not patriotic and that it was inimical to the best interest of the country. Fol owing this stand there was some re action from the crowd that can not see prosperity unless workers suffer a wage cut. Some industries were forced to increase wages, and it was finally demonstrated that greater pro duction and more efficiency would not only hold costs down, but that wages would be increased. Workers, with an adequate wage, were enabled to pro duce more in the same time." 3 V. 1
