It warns that as the economy normalizes, many workers will be laid off or must reearn trades, stressing that only intelligence and experience sustain steady pay. Strikes are deemed unhelpful.

The piece argues labor leaders push no wage cuts while seeking shorter hours, then demand lower living costs. It notes labor can be up to 85 percent of factory costs and says living costs won’t drop while wartime wages stay high. It urges increased production to sustain wages and, potentially, lower prices.
