Labor Problem. "A Solution of the Labor Problem." By Clifford Howard. North American Review, v. 192, p. 341 (Sept.). The solution pro osed is that of the estab lishment by the ederal Government of a national unit of value for labor. “Based upon this unit, the wages for all classes of labor shall be automatically regulated by law," bein ﬁxed not by the employer or employee, t “by an established table of rates builded upon a ﬁxed unit of value for labor." This unit would be based upon the actual requirements for subsistance;

it

might, for example, be sixty pounds of wheat ﬂour for one day's work at unskilled manual labor; and nothing less than the unit could legally be paid. This is of course a chimerical proposition,

which aims at the repeal of the natural law of supply and demand. See Boycotts, Employers’ Liability, In junctions. Legal Miscellany. “Log Cabin Courts of Long Ago." By David C. Baker. 17 Case and Comment 114 (Aug). Local Government. “The Problem of Eﬂi cient City Government." By William J.
