LABOR PRINCIPLES
REALIZED IN 1929
Acceptance of Unemployment
and Higher Wage Conten-
tons Features of 1929.
BY WILLIAM GREEN.

President, American Federation Of Labor.
The outstanding feature of the year
1929 was the general acceptance of the
principles long maintained by the
American Federation of Labor-that
acute unemployment could be elin1i-
mated and that the higher the wages
the greater the prosperity.
Added to this was the remarkable
increase in the number of employers
and others who believe that the five
day, 40-hour week is an absolute neces-
sity to the future of our country.
Have Preached Principles.
In season and out of season for nearly
so years these principles have been
preached by the American Federation
Of Labor and its affiliated organiza-
tions.
In the early days of the American
Federation Of Labor employers believed
that the way to make good times in
hard times was to reduce wages and
increase the hours In the work day.
While considerable ground was gained
against these theories, 1t was not until
the Great War that it became general
knowledge that high wages and con-
tinuous employment for the workers
brought real prosperity.
The conferences under the leader
ship Of the President are giving every
thought to devising ways and means of
keeping men and women at work at
adequate wages.
To Stimulate Employment.
Both the Nation and the States are
preparing to launch activities that will
give employment. All the experts and
skilled men in industry and finance
have been Communicated to work out
Q plan Of action. All this promises re-
lief and will establish irrevocably the
TACT that unemployment can be cured
ana that high wages will permit those
who work to live in reasonable COM
Tort. Therefore, more continuous hap
pnesS than was thought possible a few
years ago will be the result,
Another outcome of the years work
was the acceptance by leading members
OF Congress Of the principles of a bill
to limit the use of injunctions in labor
disputes.

The still abundant snow gradually

The ice still bound the Penobscot nearly

the business of Bangor and vicinity in

the foolhardy to travel with teams on
its now treacherous surface.
But on Tuesday the clear azure Of
several preceding days was gradually
obscured by the portents of a coming
