"We will 'wait and see," This feeling is based on two things. Employers belfeve--appdrently right 1y, that prices are bound to fall. The high war figures canmot be kept up. While prices are falling, the costs of production are ptill on the same high war level. Naturally and inevitably, the mine-owner or manufacturer is not going 'to turn. out goods at war cost of production 16 sell at pre-war prices, Labor, on the other hand, points out that so far as the average work- ing man is concerned, the cost of liv- ing is still at the war level. Rents are higher than éver before, clothing shows no reduction: "More than that," say the labor leaders to me. "During the war, the working man has acquired a new. standard of com- fort. He is not willing to go back to the. old life. Wages must not go down." ! i So here capital 'and 'labor stand racing one another, like two bulls, LIFT OFF CORNS WITH: FINGERS (pawing the ground before interlock- ing their horns in conflict.

The man who imagines that the re- turned soldier will go on the land in any numbers, or will settle in small towns, is an uninformed optimist.
