situation still more complicated we
adopt the CWA and PWA programs

put money into circulation by paying
men to spread gravel on the high
ways with shovels, or spoons, and in
putting up a gigantic fund to enable
contractors to hire men to erect pub
lie buildings, build roads, bridges, and
paint buildings already erected.
1t is quite true that this distribu-
ton of public funds has enabled many
suffering individuals to purchase food

lCWA and PWA programs is a neces-

furnish many with a means to pur-
chase food, but they are not produc-

foodstuffs runs low in response to the
efforts of the AAA program what

Labor Day finds our country mid
way in perhaps the most important
economic undertakings of our exist
ence-a realignment of forces Of in
dustrial control under federal super
vision. 1t is time when we are MAX
ing decisions which will determine
this issue: Shall we plan for future
production Of abundance for all, or
shall we try to curb mass production
into scarcity channels with luxury for
the few and poverty for the many?
The technical information handed
on to us by past generations and in
ventive power Of present day workers
have completely revolutionized work
The work limit is no longer human
endurance but the installation of
machines, organization of work force
and orders. Orders for products and
services depend upon incomes of buy
ers. Over 80 per cent of the buyers
in retail markets are wage earners
and small salaried persons. This is
the reason why prices correspond to
the rise and fall in pay envelopes.
Many of our economic troubles
have grown out of failure to see that
electric power production heralded q
new age-the age of plenty for all. In
the days of handicraft and production
limited by human endurance, we
could not produce enough or at such
low prices as to make possible com.
fort standards of living for all. There
were well-to-do people and few

President, American Federation Of Labor

wealthy. The million dollar yearly
incomes came with power production.
From 1923 to 1929, each industrial
worker increased the amount he turn
ed out each hour per cent every
year. During the past depression
1929 1934) the increase in hourly
output has been slightly more than
per cent per year. In this period Of
rapid increase in productivity, the in
comes going to owners of property
increased Sc per cent-over two
thirds. The income of factory en-
ployes-those who did the actual work
in turning out the increased product
rose per cent.
During the depression years while
output still increased per man hour,
factory incomes declined SO per cent
1923-32) while the incomes of those
owning property fell 80 per cent.
Why this difference? Because the
rules of distribution were made at
time when the producer owned what
he made, and have not been brought
up to date to provide equitably for
the producer who is hired to work for
a management that sells the product
and determines what part shall be
paid the worker-producer.
Because workers have not shared
proportionately in their increased pro-
ductivity, buying power in the retail
markets has not been adequate to sus-
tain the large amounts which owners
of capital have invested. Even in peak
years no industry operated at capac-
ity. This means producing invest
ments had to pay for idle investments.
| In an economic structure built on
specialization and inter-relation, in
equities in distribution of income
brings unbalance in production and
distribution of products and services
that wrecks the whole structure. This
unbalance was one of the basic causes
of the collapse of 1929. Too much of
our national income had gone into
speculation in securities on the Stock
Exchange and speculative invest
ments generally, and not enough into
the pockets of those who bought the
output of industries.
| Two things are needed: To in
crease the amount of national income
going into wages and small salaries
so as to maintain balance between
production and consumption that will
use products and services for higher
standards of living; and legal and
economic institutions that recognize
