Opinion in banking circles seems to . leadâ€"to the helief that wages of lTabot, particularly common labor, will drop decidedly in the near future. Now that the competitive bidding for labor has stopped at least temporarily and the shifting process from war work to peace work has brought large supplies of labor to the big industrial centres, it is not considered likely that wages ean be kept up by any governmental ageney much less by any, fixed policy of the lahor unions. Competition aâ€" mong working men to get new jobs now takes the place of competition aâ€" mon# employers to get working men, The logical result is a dron in wages.
