Trade Unions Win Disputed
Wage Award

Members of the Machinists' Union
and the Boilermakers and Iron Ship
builders Union of Halifax, Nova SEQ
tia, are jubilant over their success in
securing the allowance of their claim
for over $4,000 for increased wages
for work done on the Canadian gov
ernment ice breaker IN. B. MacLean"
two years ago.
In the spring of 1929 the machin-
lists and boilermakers and iron ship
builders employed on the icebreaker
requested wage rate increase of 10
cents an hour. The Canadian depart
ment of labor granted the increase.
But the management of the ship
yards, instead of paying the 10 cents
an hour increase, paid a 10 per cent
increase, The department of labor
ordered the company to pay the es-
tablished rate. The company refused
to do so, and under instructions from
the department of labor the depart
ment of marine withheld money due
the company on this work. The money
has been segregated in the marine
ever since.

and the gift of nature or God to the
continuing generations of mankind)
makes it impossible for producers to
purchase the wealth they produce for
the reason that one-sixth of their pur-
chasing power has been appropriated
by those who are privileged to own
the earth and therefore mans oppor-
tunity to obtain living through
working it.
This ubiquitous privilege not only
enables the beneficiary to appropriate
one-sixth of production, but it regu-
lates the opportunity of man to work
at all, as witness the worldwide un-
employment. Even in times of COM
parative prosperity it keeps suffi-
cient number unemployed to bid for
the opportunity to work, so that the
employed, even in prosperous times
only get in pay but small percent
age of the value of the service they
render in production.
Why is it that France, with a pop
ulation of about 40,000,c00, has less
than 100000 unemployed, while Eng
land, with population of about the
same size, has a total of 2,664,88 out
of-works, and the United States be-
tween FIVE and six millions out of q
population of 122,000,000??
The answer is simple. The land OF
France is owned by 80 per cent of its
people, while in England less than
per cent hold all the land, and in the
United States the privilege of lane
holding is exercised by about 10 pei
cent
/ In France, only 20 per cent of the
population have to compete with each
other for the opportunity to work
while in England 95 per cent are
competing with each other, and in the
United States 80 per cent are com
peting with each other for the oppor
tunity to work, and therefore for lift
itself.
/ Since every one agrees the earth i
the birthright of ALL mankind ant
the increased value of its use arise
from the mere presence of popula
ton and its activities, it follws that

BRUCE BARTON ON
MERCHANDISING

Bruce Barton in his syndicated
article in the daily newspapers made
the following very pertinent sugges-
ton as to the kind of merchandising
the people of the United States are
most in need.
Mr.. Barton, in part, made these
statement in answering man who
came to his office declaring the at
tention of all executives is now focus
ed on the subject of merchandising
"If," said the man, 'we could only
get them to think straight it would
clarity the whole business situation
and start the return to prosperity"
an the boom days of 1922 said
Mr. Barton, merchandising seemed
to me to mean overselling. 1t meant
trying to get barber shops to put in
a side line of lawn mowers, urging
toilet goods departments to carry ice
cream, forcing automobile parts into
delicatessens.
Perhaps | am getting old and
'unprogressive'," continued Mr.. Bar
ton. 'But the kin dof merchandising
problems that | believe our country
must face sooner or later are prob
lens like the following:
why, with so much wealth, are
so many men out of work."
"Why is our economic machinery
so clumsy that men can go hungry
in Philadelphia, while other men are
feeding wheat to hogs in Kansas?
"Why, with so many labor-saving
devices, have we so little leisure?
"Why are factories closed when a
large percentage of the human race
is still barefoot, under -nourished and
wet when it rains

so much poorer than we, still so much

try, what is really being done to check
up that worldwide cause?
Many remedies have been glibly
suggested by statesmen, politicians
and economists, but while all have
recognized and expatiated on the dire
effects, not a single suggestion as to
the possible cause has been even
mildly limited at by anyone. The rene
dies suggested range all the way from
shortening of the workday and
length of the work-week to sus-
pension of the payment of obligations,
as though either plan could result in
the production of more wealth and
it's equitable distribution.
Since the depression exists in vir-
tually every civilized nation except
France, it would seem to be com.
paratively easy matter to make a sur.
vey of this worldwide cause and why
it affects France in lesser degree
than other nations.
The cause is obvious enough tt
anyone who will take the trouble tt
seek it, and who after finding it will
have the courage to tell it to a sor
rowing world.
The cause is the private ownership
of natural resources, which enable
few benefciaries to absorb abou
one-sixth of the production of tn
world without having rendered an.
service in exchange therefor, save tn
giving of mere permission to other
to work and produce wealth.

THE Pennsylvania Commonweal)

(Ihe pennsylvania CommonWeaI)
According to varying estimates
there are between 100000 and
100000 persons out of work in the
United States. This number repre-
sents about one-eighth of those in
the nation who are usually engaged
in gainful occupations and who, to-
gether with their dependents, make
up about one-fourth of our popula-
ton.
AS this condition has persisted for
more than a year and half, it means
that more than 20,0O0,000 of our peo-
pie are dependent on charity for the
mere necessaries of life.
With the elimination of the pur-
chasing power of this enormous num-
Der (almost nation in itself) trade
in general has been so much affected
that even many of those employed
have reduced incomes, particularly
those in business for themselves, as
is reflected in the reduced revenue
from the federal income tax returns
