Distribution Of
NATION s INCOME
Shown by Figures Made Public
by Bureau of Economic
Research.
WEALTH INCREASE NOT REAL
Country's Income in 1918 Almost
Double That Of 1918, but Actual
Total Of Commodities Produced
Was Not Great.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
1913 was 81 billion dollars, as COM
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent like increase in production. Most
of it was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar Of 1913 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, if at all,
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not Of
kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to 1856 in 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the $3.50 of 1918 is equivalent to only
1912 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau Of Eco
nomic research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
Of the results of a years study Of
Income in the United States." This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
Of the income question in this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, Willford I. King, Frederick
R. Macaulay and Oswald w. Knauth,
under the auspices and direction of
board of nineteen directors, including
men prominent in many fields of busi-
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
nomics and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points Of
view.

ings, including the equivalent value
Of per capita income in terms of the

Be Used.

New York.-The nations fleet of
100000 motor cars is being pre-
pared for mobilization to transport
food in event of a general railroad
strike.
Lists of all trucks and passenger
cars in the country are being prepared
, for national, State and civic authori-
ties so that they may be taken over in
case of emergency.
"The Government would be empow-
cred to seize all vehicles in time of
diie necessity" F. w. Fem, secretary
at The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce, said.
IF all the railroad workers of the
United States go out on a general
strike we are making preparations to
help the Government take over all
available trucks and even passenger
cars.
There are approximately 100000
trucks available for service. They can
haul food to the cities and transport
passengers on short hauls. There are
100000 passenger cars. We look to
the airplanes for speedy passenger
service over long distances.

Nine Vote To
Stick,

Chicago. - The prospective rail
strike scheduled for October 80 was
limited to approximately onefourth OF
the nations railroad employees when
officials of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way and Steamship Clerks, Freight
Handlers, Express and Station EN-
ployes, representing 350,000 men,
voted not to authorize walkout by
their members for the time being.
This action increased the number of
major rail unions which have voted
not to strike to nine and the number
of railroad employees bound by such
action to about three-fourths of the
country's total of about 100000.
The vote was taken in meeting
which lasted several hours and in
which some of the officials at first
favored a walkout October 80 in pro
test of recent wage cuts. These Off
cials finally swung over to mo

that in that way it was hoped the

ties such as education and road-Duiiu-
ing, produce only about half OF inc nv
tional income. The rest is due 10 the
efforts of small Independent workers.
Income Tax Discrepancies.
The report estimates that the num-
ber of persons in 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over 23 biillon
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9O8OOO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reporteu
income was less than IA billion dol-
lars. This discrepancy is due IN part
TO technical eyasions and straight llle-
gal withholdings, but also in part 10
the existence Of tax-eXempt income.
What this means in terms OF the III
come tax is that the government re-
ceived in 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than it would have, II all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution of Housewives.
The contribution of the 2O,OOO,OOo
American housewives is not included
by the bureau in the national income
because they are not paid in money.
But the report points out that If they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or 18 billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
