of seven million days labor, but that
wheat crop produced under the con-
ditions before the harvester and
ances which followed them would re-
quire 100 million days labor.
1--WE have saved 1913 million days
labor in the production of one of our
five cereal crops by the American
genius for invention and the substi-
tuition of mechanical appliances for
manual labor. Were those workers
released to unemployment and idle
ness? You know they were not. You
know that only by this process can
we find the workers to aid old indus
tries in their expansion and to create
the new ones, which science and in
vention are constantly placing before
US. There Is always an increased de-
mand for labor by the very economics
of displacement"
Declaring that he Is astonished at
the feeling that the production of
workers is less than before the war,
Mr.. Barnes points out that figures
within our reach indicate increased
production and he quotes the follow

ut is a time," says Mr.. Barnes in
ending his article, ito keep cool heads
but to keep also confidence and cour-
age. 1t is time to appreciate that
there has been an increase in the
enormous requirements of the human
being since the processes of human
society are under way again as at
present. 1t Is time to appreciate
that there is a surplus buying and
saving power larger than generally
realized and steadily increasing
earning power of every individual
worker; and it is time to calculate
those factors cody and courageously
and to base your business policies
upon them"

The labor movement of America
demands for all of our people the full
benefit of the life giving forces of our
marvellous civilization through con-
stantly increasing wages and i'm
proyement of working conditions and
through a reasonable and proper re-
duction in the hours of work.
The labor movement of America de-
mands for the wage earners and for
all who serve usefully in any capacity,
a sound and just economic basis for
life and freedom in the fullest mean
ing of those terms.
The labor movement of America
has ever had high regard for the
development of the ethical and the
spiritual in life, realizing the right of
all humanity to partake freely of the
great satisfaction that comes TO en-
rich life as a result.
The labor movement of our country,
recognizing the fact that all freedom
and all higher development of life,
rest upon first providing assurance of
the essentials of existence, has first
demanded economic justice as a basis
for all other things.
But the labor movement has always
taught that the material is essential
to something higher, and that the in
spiratlon of our movement has its
deepest springs in something above
and beyond the material.
The labor movement strives for
economic improvement with unrelat-
ing zeal and fidelity because econo-
mic improvement is the first funda-
mental requisite; but it holds out to
all mankind a flaming torch lighting
the way to greater fullness of life,
to complete realization of the finer
and nobler aspirations of the mind
and soul.
The labor movement fixes as its
goal nothing less than the complete
richness of life. without limitation of
any kind, the attainment of the COM
plete human ideal, in all of its econo.
mic, ethical and spiritual implications.
Through the inspiration of our
labor movement, the Sunday proceed

1t is fair assumption that the
average home in America in 1920 pos
sessed three times the things that the
home in 1900 had, says Mr.. Barnes,
who continues:
"You may check this roughly by
your own observation of the recent
increase in bathrooms, plumbing,
monographs telephones, automobiles,
and the thousands Of things that add
to the comfort of the people. So the
very volume of our own production
Is in itself the most convincing proof
that that earning power is most
widely distributed, and the buying
power which rests on it is more widely
distributed than the world has ever
seen, because manifestly If wealth
were concentrated in the hands of
wealthy few, no such volume of goods
could be manufactured and marketed
In this country"
Mr.. Barnes makes a spirited at
tack on the theory that limiting of
production means more work for the
wage earners and declares that it
has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that production itself by its
economy and the security of its earn
ing power which it itself creates, has
vastly enlarged the area of common
general standard of common living.
He says:
abroad, we find the old, fallacious
theory that there is only so much
work to be done; that by limitation
on individual effort it can be divided
among more wage earners and fur
nish more wage payment thereby
And we see a distinct slackening of
the advance In common possession
and of the common living in Europe
which we have stimulated here"
Mr.. Barnes says that the limiting
reproduction theory is the hardest
thing in the world to combat unless
there is a living, vital illustration of
the effect of the other theory. This
illustration is given today, he adds,
by American full employment and
relative prosperity under its own pc
culiar production prosperity. He
continues:
"The effect of this is most marked
in that industry which does not occur
to you as a highly mechanical one,
that of agriculture. The census of
the United States shows that in the
20 years from 1900 to 1920 the num-
Der of workers in agriculture de-
creased by 1000, zoo, 900 fewer
workers in American agriculture in
1872 than in 1900. Yet in that time
the standard production of farm crops
increased 20, 30, 40 per cent. In the
pre-war year of 1913, for instance,
the five cereal crops aggregated four
and half billion bushels; in 1922
they aggregated five and quarter
billion.

A PROCLAMATION
Labor Day and Labor Sunday Observance Through
out America Asked by A. F. of L. Executive
Council in Inspiring Appeal.

ing Labor Day, which is the first
Monday in September each year, has
come into general national observance
as Labor Sunday. On this day IL
is fitting to give thought to the as
pirations of Labor and to find in what
way the soul of Labor may give
thought and expression to its long
ings.
Because of the aims and aspira-
tons here set forth, we hold it fitting
that all churches draw close to their
affairs the soul of Labor on the COM
ing Labor Sunday and that the men
and women of labor everywhere make
special effort to cooperate with the
churches and to secure the cooperation
of the churches with them, in order
that there may be in the churches
everywhere on that day a great uni
son of expression in behalf of high
er, nobler life for the masses of our
people; and in order that there may
be everywhere conservation to the
cause of human betterment, particu-
larry in those things that lead to
ethical and spiritual growth--in those
things that give flower and fruit to
the great ideals of our labor move
ment, the embodiment and the express
sion of the idealism of our people.
May Labor Sunday each year
bring home to the masses of our peo-
pie the great good that humanity may
yet achieve, the lofty heights to which
1t may climb, the inspiration and the
enrichment to be found in the great
American labor movement which is
the hope of the millions who toll.
We ask also that Labor Day, the
great holiday of the toiling masses,
dedicated to them and to their cause,
be ennobled and enriched by an ex-
preston of the same spirit, the same
high idealism and purpose, the same
uplifting, inspiring search for the
fullness of life and the same determ-
nation to achieve triumph over all
ills and wrongs through our great
movement in its ethical and spiritual
aspects. as well as through its purely
economic operations,
