For the same reason, he advocates the necessity of unemployment insurance. Funds gathered during times of prosperity would -- provide markets when unemployment ps.'"' He calls this practice' market insurance. Al the meeting last night a 'number of questions were asked. One was about rising prices, which for a time went up faster than Increased wages and buying power. Mr. Filene intimated that this might be corrected by eliminating waste from our syslem of distribution. Articles are sold at retail too high above their production costs, even at high as a Thousand per cent. As a department tore owner, he stall'd that he is compelled to prepare, as other business men must do for the more effective methods of the chain principle in merchandising. Smalt, wasteful businesses must. go. but the cooperative organization of individual merchants is far more effective than the chain stores under single ownership. A disturbing question was put to him. If H is not well for the wage earners lo save their money and keep it out of spending channels, what should be done with the savings of capital which do not return to be spent? Mr. Filene responded that at least inheritance taxes should be so high that individuals, un- productive and idle, should not possess power greater than tens of thousands of men. To the question of price-fixihe re- eponded that there were better ways of meeting competition than establishing fixed prices.
