Less Than 400 at Work

In all the 40 mills affected by the
strike there are less than 400 persons
working. Production is even lower
than this number might indicate be-
cause at least half of the 400 weavers
are green hands, unlearned in the
trade, and are never the same 400

At wits end what to do, the manu-

pealed for "let-up" on Ryan, the
Pyramid silk mill boss who was
caught redhanded employing plug
uglies from Paterson to harass the
strikers. 1t is reported that the gov
ernor chided them for their support of
Ryan, told them that made them as
guilty as he, and displayed a keen
grasp on the economics of the situa-
ton, advised the manufacturers to
settle.

Economic Balance Upset by Piing Up Of Big Profits
Banks Enormously Increased Capital and Dividends Ag
gravatng Bad Conditions Due to Maldistrbution of
Wealth.

The great profit game has been
taken apart and its works laid bare
by John P. Frey, in an article entitled
"The Calamity of Prosperity" in the
ationist, just out. 1t is perhaps the
most broadly based and comprehen-
sive analysis of the causes of the
financial and industrial depression
yet made. Frey literally blasts away
the pretenses of the captains of indus
try and finance, and exposes an era
of pillage and maladjustment that
should shock modern civilization into
the most drastic action toward cor
rection and adjustment.
How Thousands Were Made Idle
The changing character of the proc
esses of production in America are
wildly set forth: "Mass production
has been accomplished by most rapid
increase in the per capita volume of
production in our industries. Federal
statistics indicate that during the
eight years ending in 1928 over $685.
600 workmen were eliminated from
our manufacturing industries; some
100000 from agriculture, and approx
mately 25O,000 from railway trans
portation. Yet, with this greatly re-
duced army of workers, manufac-
ture, agriculture and railway trans
portation were of considerably greater
volume than seven years before.
at is this constantly increasing
production per wage Garner which has
made labor costs so low in this coun-
try. In a number of our industries,
the labor cost in the United States
has been lower than in other coun-
tries, although the dollar-and-
wage has been considerably higher"
Somehow this seems more real
when Mr.. Frey draws the comparison
with other countries in terms of ma
chinery used. He says: "In 1913 the
United States absorbed SIS per cap
ita in machinery. This amount had
risen to $23 in 1925.
an 1913 Great Britain had absorb
ed $5 per capita in machinery. This
had increased to $40 in 1925.
"In 1913 Germany had absorbed 81
per capita in machinery. This had in
creased to So in 1925.
an 1913 the machinery absorbed
per capita in India amounted to 10
cents. This had increased to II cents
in 1925.
"In China the amount absorbed for
machinery in 1913 was IA cents. In
1926 this was reduced to cents"
Per Capita Output Went Up
RocketIike
"In some of our American industry
the per capita production since the
war has increased many hundred per
cent. Where automatic machinery has
almost wholly replaced hand labor
the output per worker has been in
creased several thousand times"
The author makes it clear that in
the period beginning with 1922
America did not suffer from want OF
wealth in all its most varied forms.
Mr.. Frye takes the wind out of the
sails of those who are crying for ex-
port markets, in his discussion of the
growing difficulty of increasing oul
export of manufactured goods. Oui
business leaders had no reason for be.
. lieving in 1922 that there would be

1918, and the sight of these men mill
ing before the employment office with
out overcoats that started his mind at
work on plan to pay wages enough
so that lay-offs would not mean pri-
vation.
Early in January, 1914 he writes,
II conceived the idea that it would be
possible to pay these men enough
money for each days work to enable
them, if they were prudent, to save
enough money to carry them over the
days of unemployment. recognized
that this would be no immediate re-
lief for those who were out of work,
but | sought a plan which would pre-
vent recurrence of the condition

January of 1914 | proposed to our
president, Henry Ford, that we pay a
minimum wage of SIS a day.
Minimum Pay More Than Doubled
