WAGES TOO Low
And Benefit No One, Says
Retiring Textile Chief

Boston ILNS)-Taking the trade
union position that there should be a
minimum wage below which no en-
ployer may go, Irving Southworth,
retiring president of the National As
sociation of Cotton Manufacturers, in
his final statement as an officer de-
clared textile wages too low, bene-
fitting neither employer nor worker.
He also advocated restriction of hours
and limitation of the periods during
which women and minors might
work
Statistics show" his statement
said, "that the present cotton spindles
in places operating 4S hours weekly
will more than supply the normal de-
mand for textiles. This, added to the
fact that 48 hours is generally con-
sidered a reasonable working week,
shows the justification Of week no

that the wage scale, irrespective OF
location, must be approximately the

by that of lower centers. Reductions
in the start at one or two places have

Green Endorses Share Week
Plan to Make Jobs For Many
President of A. of L. Says Work Should Be More Equt
ably Observation-Disclosures Workers and Employers To
Cooperate i'm Creating Jobs for Millions of Idle

Washington.-Wil Green, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, issued a statement endorsing
the share -the-work movement under
taken by the Federal Reserve Bank
ing and industrial committees and
urged workers and employers to CO.
operate in this nationwide effort to
turn the millions Of jobless into act
ual wage earners.
Mr.. Green said:
"The share -the-work movement
sponsored by the federal reserve
bank and industrial committees and
of which Mr.. Walter C. Teagle is
chairman has for it's purpose the Gre
alton of work opportunities so that
those who are idle may be re-em-
ployed.
"If unemployment is to be overcome
and if work is to be found for mill
lions who are idle the amount of work
available, that is the amount of work
at hand, must be more equitably dis
tributed.
Earning power is bound to follow
the creation of work opportunities
The employment of additional work
ers represents the first step which
must be taken in order to enlarge
consuming units and increase buying
power.

Forty Billion United States
Market Awaits Jobs and WAGES
Wage Pact For Cargo
Checkers Made By Long
shOremen's Union

New York-Official of the Inter-
national Longshoremen's Association
representing 10000 pier workers on
the Atlantic coats, and representa-
tives of the steamship lines, reached
an agreement to pay cargo checkers
$5.75 day.
The new contract continues the
clause providing for full days pay
whether the men work the full day
or not was continued. The companies
agreed to pay for four hours for
Saturday overtime, and the union
accepted two-hour minimum at the
overtime rate of $110 except for Sat
urdays.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-10-14

"Artifcially created work cannot
last because it does not rest upon q
sound economic basis, but an equit-
able distribution Of the amount of
work necessary and available will
tend to create demand for manufac-
tured goods and this, in turn, will
create additional jobs for idle men.
''If employers of labor throughout
the nation will give the share-the-
work movement their full and COM
plete support, increasing employ
ment, creating work opportunities for
idle people, great improvement will
be noticeable within a very short
time in the industrial and economic
situation.
In great emergency such as now
exists it is the duty, the patriotic
duty, of employers of labor to give
to the share the-work movement a
full and complete measure of support.
"In like manner, laboring people
can well afford to cooperate and
work with the committees formed for
the purpose of furthering the share
the-work movement.
Through such cooperation and
support they can extend substantial
aid to more than eleven million idle
workers and those dependent upon
them"

The federal treasury is rapidly ap-
preaching the most serious condition
in it's revenues that it has yet faced
in its history A deficit is accumulat-
ing at the rate of more than two bill
lion dollars a year, or twice the
amount of the deficit with which con-
gress wrestled in the last session.
New taxes imposed by congress
last spring are bringing in less than
one-fourth of the amount which
treasury officials estimated they
would yield. From July to Septem-
Der Is the excess Of governmental ex-
penditures over treasury income was
452,368,943, or at the rate of $2,148,-
100000 for the fiscal year.
Revenues Fall Short
The nuisance" taxes levied by con-
gress last spring-three postage,
one cent on gasoline and oil, two
cents on checks, tax on electric bills
and other things-are falling short of
yielding their expected revenue.
There is evidence that this years
deficit in the post office department
may even exceed that of last year, in
dicating that three-cent postage is
actually reducing the gross income.
Preliminary figures on gasoline sales
show that the states are feeling the
effects of the federal tax on gasoline
on their own revenues from this
source.
More and more the feeling is gain
ing in official circles that an attempt
to balance the federal budget can be
made this winter only if the govern
mental structure as a whole is SUBJ

jected to the most drastic reduction.
This means the elimination of SUI
perfuous and useless commissions and
boards, including the flock of "lame
duck" commissions, and the schemes
to erect historic monuments and me-
MORALS over the country.
Pay Cuts No Remedy
1t is generally recognized that the
deficit problem can no longer be met
by slashes in the pay of government
workers, or by putting higher taxes
on business and industry, which ulti-
mately have the effect of retarding
recovery from economic depression,
and of prolonging unemployment
among the people.
Nor can it be met by process of
soaking the rich" Taxes are al
ready beyond the ability of every
class of the people to pay them.
For this reason a sweeping reduc-
tion of the federal structure from its
present proportions will be one of the
paramount problems that comes be-
fore congress.
Men in both political parties have
expressed the view that it is both
practicable and feasible to reorganize
the government along lines that will
both reduce it's costs and enlarge it's
capacity for service Whether this
view will prevail in congress remains
to be seen.
Even if the costs of the government
should be reduced by $1,000,000, 900,
congress apparently must still wrestle
with deficit as large as that faced
last spring.

Survey Shows Big Cash Cut
Through h By Pay Reduction
Graybar, Itself Wage Cutter Conducts Inquiry AS
Basis of Estimate on Slowed Buying Among Workers.

New York City (ILNS)-Forty bill
lions of dollars wait to be spent by
American wage earners as soon as
they are assured of jobs that will not
be taken from them next Saturday
night
But it will take restoration of en-
ployment to the now unemployed to
restore the 100000, 100000 market
that sent America to high point on
the prosperity ladder before the big
crash.
Purchases this year, among the
masses, are running at about SO to
So billions.
But the estimate now at hand was
not arrived at by subtracting the
present market from the peak mar
ket.
How Figure Was Obtained
1t was arrived at by the Graybar
Electric Company, which sent ques-
ton blanks to its employees in 73
cities, asking them what they would
buy and how much they would spend
''if they could be assured that busi-
ness conditions would improve and
that improvement would be reflected
in the family income"
On the basis of the answers from
these employees in 73 industrial COM
munities, regarded as fair average,
the grand total of 40 billions was ar
rived at as measure of the stored up
buying-buying being held in check
because of uncertainty of employment
and wages.
That is the grand melon held out to
employers generally and to business
as the bait for restoration of jobs and
assurance of continued jobs to Amer
icas wage earners. The continued
holding back or storing up of that
buying power is the penalty inflicted
on business, as we'll as on labor, for
continued failure to employ. Labor
suffers, but those who claim title to
the rank of employer" and banker
have to stand the responsibility.
Counts Only the Employed
Replies from lilo employees
people with jobs-showed the Gray
bar Company stored up, or deferred
purchasing power of slightly over two
billions Of dollars among its own EN-.
ployes.
This group was taken as typical Of
! 18 million families, to reach the tota
of 40 billions of deferred purchasing
power.
This does not count the pur-
chasing power of the unemployed
once they are back on payrolls.
1t counts only the deferred pur-
chases of those who now have
jobs, but who are under the
threat of depression, which can
| mean that their wages have been
cut, that they may be cut, or that
the job may be lost.
With automobile production failing

DR.. Harry F. Edmonds, of Interna-

Blasts Old "Overproduction'
This survey is body smash at the
overproduction theory, but tremen-
dous wall of confirmation for those
who contend there is underconsump-
tion. 1t demonstrates the market ca
pacity of America, provided there
are jobs and wages, and points the
road clearly to a method of achiev-
ing and maintaining permanent pros
perity. America, the survey proves,
will use the output of America, if it
can be equipped, through wages, with
the purchasing power. 1t shows that
there awaits American industry such
market as it never had and that
industry need not go hunting abroad
for markets.
Here are tabulations of principal
products for which American workers
wait end the money they expect to
pay for them, once wage rates are re-
stored and jobs assured on a basis of
permanency:
IN TERMS OF UNITS
New homes ...................3,0 ,096 900

Women's clothing ......... 1,494 100000
Mems clothing ................ 1,104 100000
Manufacturing lines stand to win
most of the stored up purchasing, the
tabulations show, with clothing and
furniture, prime necessities, leading in
volume. Here is potential work for
all of the unemployed.
Graybar's Own Example
Furniture requirements shown are
about 1 " times the output in pros
porous years, while the volume OF
rugs and floor coverings is equal to
the average four-year output. The
clothing purchases held in allegiance
| would provide about a half year OF
work, but it must be remembered, the
| figures represent deferred buying
buying that will not be done unit
| workers are confident of keeping
their Jobs and have a restoration Of
pay rates.
| And here is the lesson pointed tx
Graybar itself, typical of the situa
ton and it's causes: Graybar has it
self reduced wages 10 per cent, con
| tributing to that bulk of deferred
buying that runs up that enormous
total of 40 billions of dollars. 1t has
reduced pay 10 per cent and reduced
working time to five days, the latter
to it's credit.
BY it's survey and its own recort
this great company does much to ex
plain the situation and to point the
way out. BY restoration of it's owl
pay cut it could start the ball rolling
back to the movement of that enor
nous total Of deferred purchasing.
