Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living Wage (Adult Males), 1918 The hearing of this inquiry took a long time, much longer than I anticipated, though, no doubt, similar inquiries in other countries have taken still longer and have been carried out more elaborately. I feel greatly indebted to the parties for the generous response which they have made to my appeal to them for assistance. The trouble and expense to which they must have been put are con siderable, and the amount of work surprising. The materials thus put before me are valuable, and have helped me much, though I have occasionally realised that the inquiry was of such importance and extent as to have been perhaps more properly undertaken by a Commission with the public purse behind it than by private persons, whose sacrifices cannot reasonably be expected to be unlimited. Its importance consists in this, that it afiects every employee and every employer in the State. All wages depend more or less upon the fixing of the basic or living wage, and that that should be fixed with fairness to all parties is, therefore, a matter of high consequence. I wish that I could have obtained even further materials, but I must do what I can with those at my command.
