In contrast to the major portion of our large manu
facturers, the steel industry has raised its prices to
barely absorb actual increased costs, thereby showing
good judgment and setting an excellent example to the
balance of our industrial empire.
In a recent statement issued by the Steel Institute
they mention that copper,‘manganese, alloy materials
and all chemicals have risen sharply in price. Shipping
companies that control ore movements via the Great
Lakes have announced an increase of 14 per cent in
freight rates.
Fearful that excessive price raises would curtail
consumption the steel industry has set prices that repre
sent a smaller profit per ton than they have been aver
aging during the first quarter of the present year. This
well taken stand of the steel trust reflects the crux of
the whole problem.
It is an axiom of logic that an argument based on a
false premise invariably leads to a false conclusion.
There are two falacious basic trends that tend to con
fuse most of us on the price-wage question. One is the
average workers honest conviction that higher wages
necessarily raises his financial level. He invariably
finds, as we see in the present picture, that the increas
ed cost of living soon overtakes and passes his in
crease in wages. In many instances he finds himself
worse off.
The other common fallacy indulged in by so many
of our people, including certain schools of economists,
is the firm conviction that higher wages for industrial
workers necessarily make for what we term prosperity.
This is not always so, nor will it ever become a fixed
certainty under our present economic structure. The
era of 1926-’29 of painful memory, plainly demonstrates
this fact.
Strike's that have created recent wage increases
have been confined for the most part to industrial work
ers. The great farm millions, the vast number of em
ployees engaged in the distributing end of our econo
mic system, and the millions of clerks, stenogs and the
rest that go to make up the so called white collar class
have received no increase in wages and salaries except
in the regular manner of business. These groups great
ly outnumber the industrial workers, who as a class are
receiving the present wage boosts, yet the above men
tioned groups form two-thirds of the total consumer
group. It should therefore be apparent that if indus
trialists, as a consequence of their workers wage raise,
advance the prices of the products of industrial labor
beyond the incomes of the great majority of the con
sumer group, a break down of the economic structure is
bound to follow.
J his ultimate condition the steel industry clearly
discerns, and is pointing the way to the balance of in
dustry. as well as to the rest of ihe agencies that go to
make up our economic fabric.
Can you remember—When a workman used to pack
uu and leave when he went on strike?—New York Sun.

Native Boys Sent
To Idaho School
Show Interest
The United States Marshal’s
Office at Nome, received on the
last mail a letter from the direc
tor of the Idaho Industrial school
at St. Anthony’s Idaho, stating
that two Nome native boys,
Johnny and Morris Thomas, are
getting along splendidly, and
showing commendable interest
in the schools’ system of indus
trial training, particularly gar
dening.
These boys were committed to
the Idaho corrective-institution
a year ago for minor law infring
ments, being sent to the States
for the reason that as yet the
Territory of Alaska has made no
provision for a correctional
school to care for our delinquent
children.
