Starting with 1913 as our base and 100 or our index. We have come along up through the war period and on into the adjustment years following. with these indexes continually increasing until in 1924 they reached 228.1. in 1925. 237.9. and in 1926. 250.3. Certainly no one who is informed upon the subject will say that the Adamson law of 1.916 and the recent immigration acts have not materially contributed to the Increase of this union labor index. and to that degree certainly the rules have been changed to the advantage of this great and important group of our people. Look at freight rates from the same standpoint. Starting again with 1913 as our base and 100 as the index. freight rates are at present 172.5.
