The English pound Sterling ha* fallen off in value. In this coantry^and exports of food stuffs are liable to be smaller in the future, which the bankers think will begin to regulate the old proportion of supply and de­ mand. • It is predicted that prices will con tiniie to drop until the United State* again buys heavily abroad, when the exchange rates will again regulate and then prices may again go up. Some articles have already come down in price, but not so it is very noticeable to the consumer. The question arises, if profiteer# could rot carloads of vegetables in order to put prices up, ejjtenot they rot some more to keep them up, even iho we do not export foodetuffsln such quantities as the past. There hasn’t been much done to profiteers yet and they doubtless may continue ** before. tins- rimt? -ari|.40^b0'"ix> maajr gov-. ermtfeht clerks to the Capital, is an entirely conservative estimate and it would be very strange if tome of these were not loaftog in his depart­ ment. Thousand* of War workers have become mensparasites upon, ih* Government and attempts to get rid; of them usually result in their trans­ fer from one branch of he public ser­ vice to •the 1other. ' The ’’political Puli” is.worictogovertime. ' . Overhead costs in distributingwhat the farmer now 'produces might like: ly be cut in the matter o f transporta­ tion itself, since General W< W. At- torbUry, who operated.th* American railroads in France put his finger* on One o f the-sonrees of trouble-in the Pennsylvania shops, when he fold the. employe* that “prior to our entrance, into the war yoU were on a piece-! work basis as well as-working on a ten hour day, When the govern­ ment took over the railroads, _piece-, work was stopped, The output per man per hour fell 25 per cent. _ The shopsWere put on a eight-hour sched­ ule. This cut the output an addi­ tional 15 per cent., so that the out­ put per man per hour is but 60 per oent, of what Is was before the war." This is a concrete Case, and it seems to verify the statement that therail­ roads with immensely increased num­ ber of employees have been carrying on a larger volume of business than undr the days of privately controlled railroads, Mr. Merei'.th can do no better work in- Washington than ta help defiate things in ,the interests of the farmers. For be knows that the men who till the soil, and have stuck by their jobs while farm help has been flocking to the city, lured, as a farmer has put it to th* government,..by ’’the promise Of short hours, high wages and hte promise of a good time,” de­ serve every consideration that the United States can extend to the ba­ sic industry which raised the food fo humanity. But Mr. Meredith is apt to be shoCkt at the number of men in Ms own Department who are not un­ like other Government employees# since they are eager champions of the policy that Mr. Compete and other* have attempted, to popularize to toe detriment of industry, since “short hours, high wages and a good time” do not furnish^the remedy for the ill* and evils in social and iddstrial life that are crying for a cure.
