ROFIT SHARING AIDS INDUSTRY fider Distribution of In- come Needed, Says rei o Ha Conn, Aug. 1.--The ' Adve g Federation bs America led its recent sessions in New with a remarkable declara- the » "this federation subscribes | can- 'hold 'this to be evident because no matter how great may be the ad- vertising man's ability; to create desire, such desire cannot become effective in producing business un- less, behind the want, lies a finan- cial ability to satisfy it." The principle endorsed is no new discovery made by these experts in the psychology of advertising. The idea of distributing' the profits of roduction more equably was old in the days of Moses, the Laws maker of Israel. Lycurgus, and Lawgiver of Sparta, builded his code upon this principle and the Gracchi of Rome rose to power and fell fighting for it. In modern days it is the fundamental in every i party platform and every pi Jun Ppt its ful eve t through the widest possible tbution among the creators of th of an equable share of the fits of production and of the economies made possible by program for social reform. Al- though that is a very ancient eon omic doctrine and social do, familiar to all 'economists, it is . new and astounding doctrine to emanate from a responsible organi- hd of y. We ding for its existence man, the "e" being Pp upon 'Big Business." To be sure, g the we rin; cries PE "maintaif wor ah and Standards of , Jiving, hereby maintaining their purchasing to the end that they he ell Jad.p ang i 13 il agin at producers must sell their pro- ducts at renumerative prices if they dre to continue contentedly to pro- duce and prosper. Big" producers bave been this truism as a great light, but none of them have ¢ so far as to accept the vocalist doctrine that business crises come because the workers have been de- rived of their just shares of the increased products and, of the time saved, by "labor saving" - devices. The y bo Ah resolution is uni- que as an expression of the opinion of - business men. that. the way out of depression is not by the often tried policies of cutting workers' 'wage rates and earnings and 'in- creasing their working hours, but by the diametrically opposite poli- cies of increasing the pay and de- creasing the day. The men who make Big Business possible by creating the mass yearning for snakeskin shoes, poly- chromatic 'neckwear, and Eatmore Ice Cream seem to hold that the principal cause of the occurrence and prolongation of this depression is the inability of people to buy things they need because they have nothing with which to pay. If the cause is lack of money and time, the cure is obviously more income and more leisure. Many social reformers agree with this solution. Give the workers more wage#, they say, and they will buy the surplus s and Jrosperity in all lines will be speedily restored. This sounds so simple and plausible that there must be a catch in it somewhere. The problems connected -with workers' earnings and economic de- pressions do not appear to me so simple as many writers of today seem to assume. The restoration of our late and much lamented prosperity will require something more than the voting of resolu- tions by business organizations solemnly urging everybody to "buy now" or declaring that workers should be paid higher wages for fewer hours. The processes by which the products of all industries are disposed of and the proceeds (total income) are divided among workers, employers, and money lenders are bewildering in their variety and complexity, It is certain that the attempt to maintain the workers' purchasing power by maintaining wage rates has failed ingloriously as every economist knew it must fail. Em- ployers are not "miracle men." They cannot pay wages when they LSE hilt by working short time or clos- have nothing with which to pay. Employers who kept the old wage rates were obliged to cut their wage down entirely. Had they been able to cut the wage rates some- what in conformity with the fall in the prices of their products and in the cost of living, they could have kept more men employed and sold more Is there any reason to believe that a sudden in- crease in the share of total produc- tion going to labor would revive business? Suppose a 20 per cent increase in wages and earnings of workers is e by all employers, would more goods be sold and more workers be employed to produce fore nods. or or would fewer goods because fewer workers io be employed? It certainly would be hazardous gamble for a Czar of industry to try to revive industry by issuing an order to increase workers' earn- ings drastically. Price-fixing is al- ways disappointing, sometimes dis- astrous, to all concerned. Fixing the price of labor is poke hazardous. The hard-boiled classical econo- mist who cut his teeth on the "Iron Law of Wages" would scoff at the pio sal to cure depressions' by applying the salve of bigger wages. e would "prove" that wages were fixed by immutable economic law from the foundation of the earth at the cost of which enables the workers to live and raise families of new laborers to work and breed a further gener- ation of minimum of subsistence laborers: and so on till time shall be no more. If wages (earnings) are inéreased, "more laborers are Born 'and grow up to pete in SCIENTIFIC EYES BEING FOCUSSED Criminologists Trying To Prove Whethex, Two Fin- ger Prints Are Ever Found Identical Saint John, N.B., Aug. 1 -- On Christmas Day, 1923, an un- usual gift was presented to Mr. and Mrs. William T. Mahaney of this city in the form of four smi- ling bables--now famous Mahan- ey quadruplets--three girls and a boy. Today these four kiddies are again getting into the head. lines, but for a far different rea- sgh than their arrival about aight years ago as one of the few ed" births of quadruplets in the history of the Dominion. The four little sets of slim fingers are now being smeared with prin- ter's ink and impressions made on inky glass in an effort to as- certain whether or not it is posi- ble to have two finger prints fun- dementally identical. Debate has waxed warm on this topic for many years, Sclen- tists claim they have proved that it is impossible to have any two finger prints the same. Dut while debate continues, think what this matter of finger prints the labor market thus bringing wages back to the bare subsistence level. If earnings fall below the subsistence level, workers die of want or emigrate until wages rise to, the fore- ordained subsistence level. i The social climbers had been in" vited to dinner at the house of a prominent local resident. As there was no one to look after little Tommy, it was necessary to take him along, too. The meal started off well enough, but while Tommy was trying to cut the meat on his plate it slipped off on to the floor, and his mother's face flushed. "Tommy she whispered tense- ly, "you must apologize to Mrs. Suburban-Ayres at once. Get up and say something quickly." The very modern child slowly picked the meat from the floor and said: "U'm sorry, Mrs. Ayres. It's funny, but tough meat'll always do that."

Vardon, of Chatham, N.B., graduate of the New York School of Applied Seience of Identification, a student of the International Criminologist Col. lege in ballastics and graphology, came here to secure evidence to substantiate the views of the sci. entists. Hé said the evidence ss- cured from the prints of the Ma- baney children would mean a rot to the world at large. In cases of kidnapping, photos are useless after a few years, and only finger prints can tell, he said. To the children it was a new snd pleasant experience. They were all dressed neatly for the ex- periment, and of course they were photographed for the newspapers but this is nothing new for these youngsters, and they have al- ready been in many fairs and ex- hibitions.
