tional prosperity Is dependent on high

and predicted a continuation Of the
present economic depression as a result
OF what he described as "a ruthless as
Sault on the wage structure of Ameri-
can workers"
There can be no permanent progress
or prosperity until the economic axis Of
capitalism revolves on q sound basis of
an equitable distribution Of profits" he
salo. Fronts as a whole must be large
enough TO enable all human factors
engaged in each industry to share the
profits gained in SUFFICIENT amount to
maintain relative purchasing power.
Had this essential basic principle.
so necessary to the success OF indus
trial capitalism. been oberved, droughts,
market crashes. mechanization of in
dustry and various other revolutionary
changes would not have destroyed the
purchasing power of the masses.
Plainly speaking, the earning power
far below that necessary to sustain
consuming requirements Of our produc-
tive facilities that our people cannot
now earn sufncient money to buy back
posperity."
He said the bituminous coal industry
was as an outstanding example OF what
happens when a single industry is
thrown out Of gear with the main forces
Of industrial enterprise" Wage cut
ting had reduced the coal workers to
Semi-serf labor relations, he said, and
checked the consumption of products of
other industries.
1T Is the duty Of business to pro-
vide and promote ef1icient enterprise
for the success of all our population"
he said. If business leaders fail, the
people will undertake the performance
on their own responsibility by exercis-
ing their voting strength in devising

the country and would result In freer
spending and use Of credit, thereby
setting business in motion. He also
advised denomination Of the interna-
tional debt situation.
Tells Program for Future.
The leader OF organized American
labor said the working man wants
not the dole but the assurance of
employment.
For the present, he advocated dis
tribution of all available work among
the millions now unemployed. For the
future, he proposed longtime planning
of public improvement projects, old
age pension laws, regulation of child
labor, higher standards of workmen's
compensation laws, better educational
opportunities, elimination Of COMPETE
ton from convict-made commodities,
protection OF women in industry, i'm
proved vocational training and legisla-
ton for relief from the injunction in
labor disputes.
Labor is appealing for work aSsur-
ance," said Green. American workers
abhor the imposition of q dole regard
less Of any guise under which 1t is be-
slowed.
Seeks Aid for Agriculture.
Labor proposes that these millions
Of workers who are now idle be per-
mitted to share equitably in the amount
of work available. This can be made
possible through an adjustment of the
working day and the working week"
Science and invention, he said, have
developed machinery and power by
means Of which one worker can pro-
duce in "a hours the amount that few
years ago required his work for So
hours He declared America Is on the
threshold Of the five-day work week
and shorter working days in industries,
both public and private.
He estimated that hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars" will be necessary for
relief work this Winter, and said COM
munity, State and Nation would be
called on to allay suffering
Green pledged labor's support to any
proposition that would better the con-
dition Of agriculture, and concluded
with a hope that turn for the better
is not distant.

Believing he should get a complete

Then he'd spend the whole two
weeks trying to get his system adj
justed to the change of water, air,
food, and routine. And then when
he got back home he had to get re-
adjusted all over again. Often he
didn't feel as we'll as before he left.
This year, though, he came back
feeling like million dollars. THE
FIRST real vacation l have had in
years." he declared enthusiastically.
"And the others might all have been
just as good as this! Believe me, if
