WAGE IXCREASES
The example recently set by the
Unite J States Steel Corporation In
its announced intention to raise
th« wages of its employes on Feb
ruary 1 has been followed by
the American Woolea Company,
which is to raise the pay of its
6l>,000 employes in its thirty-three
mills 5 per cent. These aj-e two j
notable instances amoug the larg
er Industrial concerns of the;
country, and there have been many
other instances in which the pros
perity of the manufacturer has
been voluntarily passed along to
the wage-earners.
It is a new and encouraging fea
ture of our industrial life, betoken
in? a better understanding of the
responsibilities of the employer to
the employe and a disposition to
nwke of industry a variety of fam
ily affair in which the prosperity
of the employer means also the
prosperity of the wage-earner. It
means that industrial peace is to
replace the expensive and mis
chievous and interminable wr&ng
lings that have so often marrod
our civic life and interfered with
the welfare of the workers.
Where voluntary advances have
been made effective it has resulted
iu raising the efficiency of labor
very materially. Under this en
couragement men have become will
ing workers instead of being mere
ly clc-ck-watcheTS, and have ex
hibited a spirit of co-operation and
active interest iu the welfare of
the employers that has been too
often lacking in our industrial life.
The Ford plant furnished p. not
able object lesson in this respect,
and it is evident that the Messon
Jias not been without whoI«*ame
effect.

Under the theoiy that labor la
a partner of capital and entitled to
a certain portion of the profits, the
present prosperous times should
make for generally! satisfactory In
dustrial conditions, Where the
shoe will pinch In the reversion
to dull times, when depressed in

the need of rerfstons of the wage

H1PRESS
White Boot
"With the Red-Line 'round the Top"
You know that when a boot comes in and i
simply sweeps the whole country like
"HIPRESS" has done, it's GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich "HIPRESS" Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don't have to half
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason lor this unusual service is that
"HIPRESS" are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead 0tf the old. i.
Made of the same tou^rh rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONK SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, crack or split! They're comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it's working. We promise that once you start
wearing White "HIPRESS" you'll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has~a~Red-Line 'round the Top.
