It Is quite posslble for Philadelphia te care for nil Its unemplejcd. and net In the way of charity, but through work. The ques tion of wages must enter Inte a roaajusi reaajusi ment. but this wage readjustment should nn, .ln. h. firnert rn llin peer nl, thO mill and factory man. the Btore and of fice clerk, but It should run through n 1 lines of employment, and thruugn nil orn ern clal po.Itlens. Why should the offlce ferce of a concern be compelled te submit te a reduction of wages when the officials, rrem the head down, Insist en continuing In draw the salaries that were paid them through the war, nnd were forced up in the general extravagance that the war brought en? . . , , . , . As befere stated, every city should take rare of Its own peer nnd Us own uncm uncm pleved. This city has se much money nt Its disposal te spend, and this money Is going te go as far toward the vviy of municipal Improvements as there nre funds In the treasury. At the present time municipal Improvements of every character arebeltig held up simply because the treasury sl tne city Is In want of funds. The only way that the city could acquire , the funds tn proceed would be te call for a retrenchment In every department of the city government in the way of salaries. I , neuld Miy that If every three city empleyes ere te accept a fair salary reduction, pay inn thnm wiiiii thev iare worth. It would I glve additional employment te ene man out of work, te assist In construction work for the city, through which we would all bcnellt I cannot understand hew vre can Ilgure out that railroader", miners, carpenters, brlcklajers etc.. are expected te accept a reduction befere the unemployment situa tion will have passed, and set the officials of railroads, coal mlnes, nnd, mere than nil. the great body et men holding political Jobs, should still retain thelr high salarles. It Is unfair. The reduction must co in all lines In order te be nn equitable read- ; Juttment, but who can iccall i published statement tn which It was shown that the officeholders, the firemen, policemen, or any character of city emplos'es have been asked tu accept a reduction? Would It net be possible te work out a nlnn of readjustment In this fashion. On , the 1st of January there will be a. reduction i of 10 per cent In every ene'H wages. On the 1st bf April another 10 per cent. And this Is te be carried en until we get back te a normal state an befere the war. Hut there must also be n reduction of 10 per rent in rents, feedstuffs, coal, merchandise. There would be the samn amount of money In circulation, but by this reduction every ; tlme the 10 per cent cut was made, a new , army of ompleses could be put te work. I would llke seme one te Ilgure out for me I wherein this statement Is wrong, and why j It should net work out. JOHN T. MANNING. Philadelphia, Novembor 20, 1021.
