" a w for the pol By and by the man said to the farmer. "Things have gone up still more. and I can't work for less than $7.50 a day." The farmer agreed that was fair. but told the man that things were going up still higher with him. He would have to get $1.50 a bushel for the corn. The man agreed that was fair, and both said, "Prosperity is here." After all, the man was getting $7.50 a day. The farmer was getting $t.Stt I bushel for corn. and the hens were getting tive bushels " always. The farmer said, "I understand. But you must understand that everything's going up with me too, and I regret intensely to inform you that I can't sell you my com for less than 31.20 a bushel." The man said he understood. So the man got $6 a day and at $1.20 a bush- cl paid the farmer the $6 for five bushels of corn. Both of them said. “Happy days are here again." They paid each other off every time with the "long green". The farmer paid the man $5 and the manpaid the " back to the farmer for the Bve bushels of corn which he wheeled home in his wheel-bar- tow. After a while, the man said to the farmer. "Everything‘s gone up. and I regret intensely to inform you that I can't work tor less than " a day." (From the "Anaconda Spearhead") Once there was a farmer who raised corn, and a man who raised hens but no corn. The hens said "no corn no eggs". So the man agreed to work for the farmer one day a week for " a day. And the farmer agreed to sell corn to the man for $1 a bushel. T So, ladies, if you're hankering for Four husband's life insurance, would like to have him involved in an accident. demoted or and. slip him the naggart's needle morning noon and night and you'll have the last word-and that's about all. We suspect that this "beaten down" mental condition is some- thing that plagues men in other pursuits. No doubt industrial re- search could put a high dollar value on a little sweetness and light at the breakfast table, because accidents and low productivity are fre- quently proven to result from inattention to the task at hand. "It you wives want to send your husbands out on the road in I mlly grim frame of mind. wait until he is Just about to get to shop. Then remind him about all the bills he owa and how little he gets paid. He won't get to sleep for several hours. and then, with three or four hours sleep, he'll be so beaten down that he won't have" the ener- " or courage to drive fast. If that doesn't work, tackle him at break- fut. Remind him that he didn't patch the root, didn't put out the garbage. didn't collect the laundry, etc. Then he'll really be beaten (From The Listowel Banner) While paying tribute to the part wives can play in sending their husbands away to work in the morning in a contented frame of mind, All set to concentrate on their daily work the we speaking of truck drivers in particular) Lt.tol.

Bryce came by his experience personally (which we prefer to doubt) or arrived at it through years ot WI! as Director of Publsc Safety, he knew whereof he spoke when he said: (From The Rural Scene) To make the workers who ride in Toronto sheet-cars antler enough to give in to their unreasonable demands for more of other worker: tray, the operators at Toronto's street-cars and buses para" yud the worker-owned transportation system. _ [ The facts show that the Toronto Transportation Commission em- ployees are much better paid than mast other workers of comparable skill, who must pay whatever increased wages the streetcar employ- ees are able to wring out of them. It is the over-paid (numbed woken who cause most ot the pub- lic auttering and loss by their unreasonable demands for more and more of the pay of the millions of lower-paid workers. hundreds of thousands of whom are self-employed. running their own risks of natural disasters, illness and unemployment.

"is for continued and increasing demands for higher wages. Despite all the attempts of government spokesmen to suggest that the cost of living is about to go down, it is still going up, with only occasional hesitations, and Canadian labor has now a reli- gious faith in the impossible the- ory that wages must rise as the cost of living goes up. Labor lea- ders have taught their followers the reverse ot the fundamental truth that the cost of living will re up as wages rise. Wages are l ike any other prices. They are of basic importance in establish- ing the minimum prices at which goods can be sold, since they con- stitute the bulk of all prices at goods. Fact is that there is now a complex struggle going on be- tween Canadians as paid workers, and Canadians as consumers. Since all Canadians are consum- ers, and most of them paid work- ers, this is a rather P/ttlst struggle. As consumers. Canadi~ ans are increasingly determined‘ that they will not pay any higher) Ilir,i,'i,eg As workers, they want. igher wages, which can only mean higher prices. No one among the political leaders, or in-l deed among the Spokesmen tori business, points out that there can be no worse treatment for intu, tionary price rises than for mass~ es of consumers to refuse to pay them, when they are the inevit» able consequenee of inttationar, government spending.
