The Press is joining a little late in the hunt

after the ideal of high wages combined with cheap production— the ideal that has been realized in America. But now that the hunt has started it is proceeding merrily and with a will. It is a pleasure to record such a promising fact. The Daily Mail has already sent its wage-earning commissioners to investigate facts in America. The Daily Express is inquiring in all directions into the " Secrets of High Wages." The Daily Chronicle and the Sunday Pictorial are following the same trail with a series of articles. Let us hope that something will come of it. It is the true line of research.
