New York, Aug. 6.--Contrary to general belief, the American wage earner in 1923 is better off"' than (luring the so-called "peak" period of 1920, according to conclusions reached by the national industrial conference board, as a result of researches into wages aad the cost of living in plants employing more than 600,000 men. As a result of its study, the board finds that the "weighted" or comparative excess of-rising wages over rising living costs was between 17 and 18 per cent greater in May, 1923, than In June, 1920, with the figure of the last pre-war month, June, 1914, as a basis. "For the last month," according to a statement of the board issued, yesterday, "wages have been rising. Many plants have announced increases of 10 per 'cent, 15 per cent and even more. In order to measure the effects of the fluctuations of the cost of living upon earnings, a figure known as "real" earnings is developed by dividing the Index number of hourly or weekly earnings by thexlndex mimber of the cost of living. Thus by discounting the effect of fluctuations In the cost of living, the^ purchasing valde of money earnings for different periods may be determined. "It is generally believed that at the - peak of high wages in 1920 the wage earner was. In a more advantageous position than he has occupied since that time. It is true that wages were at their highest level in 1920. but the cost of living was also at that time high. "Beginning with the middle of 1922 earnings again began to rise, first as a result of longer hours worked, and later because of increases in wage rates. Wages are fast approaching I the peak levels, while the cost of Uvi ing was considerably below the peak I and In consequence "real" earnings 1 rose well above the former peak fi|£ ures."

The report, which Is based on last year's final crop estimate and this year's July forecast and on the comparative value of farm products on July 1 of this year and of 1922, estimates that while the wheat crop will be worth $100,000,000 less this year than last, the cottoa crop will fetch $500,000,000 more and the corn crop- $01)0^150,141 more. The figures used by tbe board are as follows: Corn, 1C22, 2,800,712.000 bosltels; 1923, 2,877,437,000 bushels. Wheat. 1922, 862,091,000 bushels; 1923, 800,- 628,000 bushels.

The amendments to the federal reserve system and the new banking system created by the rural credits act, together with the present strength and liquidity of the banks, are assurances of this, the survey contends. Although the estimate Is based on current prices or farm produce. It Is stated that these are not Indicative of the prices that the farmer will receive for this year's crop. Niagara Falls. N.

He envisaged the whole American people as bomefolks and neighbors. He loved to think and talk on what made good neighbors. He liked to feel of America *as a good neighbor in the world. "He came to the presidency with the burden of reconstruction; In a time of high national emotion, of bitter prejudice, of deep conflict In thought, of unparalleled dislocation of economic life, of unemployment, ft was his determination to soften anger and to secure progress and healing i through helpfulness and patient conciliation. "He felt deeply that hard driving would open unhealable breaches among our people. He applied geniality and good will to.his tremendous tasks In a way that amounted to genius. But underneath was resolute moral courage and steadfastness. He was the man needed for our times. He became tbe rallying point of con-1 structive forces in our countrv." Statements also were Issued by the other cabinet officer. That of Attorney General Daugherty said: "My personal relations with the late President, aside from my official association, were Buch, and my admiration and deep affection for this distinguished man so great, that, for tbe present at least.
