FULL Time
Industry Produces Too
Much, Says Survey
Board

Albany, N. Y.-Industry has deyel
oped to such point that a 80 per cent
production would food the market,
according to the industrial survey
commission in its report to the state
legislature.
The report states that chief among
the developments of great significance
is "the apparent high degree of over
productive capacity in each of most
of the principal competitive industries
in the state and probably throughout
the country
''It seem apparent that if, in any
given industry, all of the respective
plants constituting that industry were
to operate at ordinary capacity 80
per cent of the normal working days
of the year, there would be produced
far greater quantity of goods of that
particular line than could possibly be
consumed" the report states.
at does no good to inquire whether
the development of this over-capacity
has been wise or unwise. 1t has been
done and it cannot be undone. No one
would favor the scrapping of efficient
machinery and the return to more
primitive methods. We must go on
with the procession"
The commission suggests the new

an authorized appropriation of $751;
100000 to administer relief for chill
dren in distress in prolonged strikes
such as those in the bituminous coal
fields, children of the unemployed and
of other parents in extreme poverty,

Senator Wheeler is a member of
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee and served with Senators Good
ing, Wagner and Pine as subcom-
mittee that investigated conditions In
the Pittsburgh coal strike zone. Their
report is a scathing Indictment OF
conditions in that area.
Congressman La Guardia has also
visited the coal strike area, and has
made spirited speeches on this sub
iect. He introduced the Shipstead
anti-injunction bill in the house.

RESOLUTION
Against Indifference Needed
In Labor Camp
BY ARTHUR H. PHILLIPS

The worst foe the labor movement
must encounter is not hostility but
indifference The hostile element of
industry could be licked to stand
still were it not for the spirit of in
difference that prevails in the labor
| ing ranks.
Too many of us depend upon a
comparatively few to shoulder the
burden and agitate the union cause.
| There seems to be an erroneous i'm
preston that when dues are paid re-
sponsibility ends. But such is not
the case. These things are obligatory,
Of course, but should be considered
privilege as we'll as duty.
The American labor movement has,
long ago, reached a point where it's
powers were generally recognized and
| its potential possibilities unquestion-
ed. 1t has long enjoyed the distinction
of possessing quantity but, pessimistic
as this may seem, it's quality is sadly
| in arrears. This necessary quality
can easily be developed, however, if
the proper effort is made backed by
enthusiasm, cooperation and firm
| resolutions
There are thousands in the labor
unions who seem to take it only as
matter of form. These people
should begin to realize that the labor
| union is something more than for
mality 1t is vital and fundamental
factor in the present-day program.
1t is is not merely a movement but
cause, service and necessity in
,, our social and economic life. And,
get this 1t has contributed more to
the welfare of humanity than all the
charitable organizations combined.
There is no existing material power
able to check or to thwart the prog
ress of organized labor if the men,
! bership would abandon it's nonchal-
ance, take new lease on life and
resort to that all-powerful and essen
tial element called "dogged deter
mination" No organization can ex-
pect maximum results without this
cooperation from its membership. It's
success depends upon the laymen-
always has and always will.
The chief requirement for success
of any enterprise is action. But too
many Of us are in favor of action
for the other fellow.
Let every union man today take
stock of himself and see if his record
as a labor unionist is just what 1T
should be. He will probably find that
he has overlooked many opportunities
| to further the cause and consequent
ly, his own interests, happiness and
advancement Be it further
Resolved, That every union man to-
day forsake his t-George-do-it atti-
tude, attend meetings regularly, keep
informed on important issues, keep
in line with the aims and aspirations
of his organization and extend help
ling hand where needed.
