Labor and the High Cost of Living in West Virginia
Governor John J. Cornwell addressed Wetzel county teachers on labor and prices. He blamed postwar spending, money supply growth, and profiteering for high costs, urged production and thrift, and warned against radicalism. He urged patience from labor, cited comparisons of wages, and called for unity among workers, teachers, farmers, and veterans to stabilize prices without heroic measures.
