the Census Bureau that the annual pro-
ductlon of wage-earners per worker in the
United States is about $500, while the
wage-earner s income is less than $500 a

The feeling expressed by the members
of the council was that ratio of moro
than to 1 beween the value of produc-

IS too great, and that some attempt should
be made to bring these figures closer to-

In conformity with the contemplated
