INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS.

Industrial statistics published In New York are construed by some authorities not only as giving one explanation of American prosperity, but also as indicating that the Unit- ed States may be participating in new industrial revolution. Prices and living costs, it appears, have been declining, while wages have remained exceptionally high- £6 to £3 per week for factory work. ere-and the relations between em- ployees have been unusually ami- cable. In 1925 the average pro- duction per

worker factory was 35 per cent, greater than in 1914. The cause of the increase is explained by the fact that in 1925 the amount of mechanical powerf for each worker was one-third greater than in 1914. The volume of factory output in the period) 1914-1925 increased more than three times as rapidly ns the population. This explains it is argued, why mined that I shelf "get to know the wages in America can be maintain- real Australia and write about it," ed while prices are falling, and some day-after I am quite fit.
