Washington. .. c.. January DE
mand for an increase of wages to the
laboring men of the United States Is
forecasted in the action taken to-day
by the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, in session
here, directing President Gompers to
Investigate more fully the recent state
ment BY the Census Bureau that the
annual production of wage-earners per
worker In the United States Is about
$500, while the wage-earners' income
is less than $5003a year.
FL The feeling expressed by the mem
sbers of ,the council was that ratio
OF more than five to ono between the
value of production and the wage paid
to the producer is too great, and that
some attempt should be made to brinS
these figures closer together.
In conformity with the contemplated ed
effort to add to the working mans
wage was tho future action looking to
;.3lightening Of his burdens in the form
of taxation. Believing that Congress
