CENSUS FIGURES REFUTE
LIBEL THAT WORKERS WERE
SLACKERS AFTER THE WAR
Figures Just Issued By
Government Show In
dustry Made It's High
est Mark in 1920.

Washington, July preliminary fig
CUES of the 1920 census covering the
value of all manufactures produced by
the factories of the United States in the
calendar year 1919 overwhelmingly give
the lie to those who insistently charged
during that period that the American
worker was laying down" on the job.
Not only did he make a new words
record in the value of his products, but
he received the smallest percentage of re-
ward for his effort.
While the value of manufactures was
increased 158 per cent over the record
for 1914, the worker got slightly in excess
of 100 per cent more for his toll. The
remainder went to the employer and to
those who supplied the materials.
Census figures have been analysed by
1.-THE statistician of the National City Bank,
of New York, and the conclusions may be
accepted as not according any special
bfavOritlSrn to workers.
The compilation reveals that American
manufactures in 1919 comprised 40 per
cent of the worlds total and partially ex-
plains the over-production that forced
millions of workers out of employment.
! Instead of not producing, the workers
.yielded so abundantly that they even now
are suffering because there remains a sur-
plus.
j The value of all manufactures in 1919
was $62, 500, 100000, against $24,25O, 900,
900 in 1914, $40, 5OO,OOO,O00 in 1909, $14,-
75O,OOO,OO0 in 1904 and $11 500, 100000 in
1892 The value of the 1919 output is
more than two and half times as much
as that of 1914, over three times that of
1909, four times that of 1904 and more
than five times that of 1899, only 20 years
b earlier.
/ The sum paid for wages was less than
I$1O,OOO,O compared with $5,OO0,-
100000 paid in 1914, an increase of about
|}1OO per cent The workers received
about IS per cent of the values they
}created The cost of materials increased
from $1O,OOOOOO,OO0 to $3O,OOOOOO,-
1000, or 200 per cent. The value added by
manufacture amounted to $4,000 600, )
900, against $1O,OOO,OOO,0OO, or an in
Icrease of 120 per cent.
In other words, while productive labor
in industry was giving the world the
! high-water mark in output, it was receiv-
ing the smaller percentage of the value it
created. 1t produced 158 per cent more
than in the comparable year Of 1914 and
got 600 per cent less than did those who
supplied materials and 20 per cent less
than was claimed by manufactures.
These figures substantiate the unofficial
census taken recently by the Journal OF
Commerce, a spokesman for the financial
interests.
1t proved conclusive1y that when the
workers were being charged with slack
ing" they were smashing records anc
