workers in any industry, the same system OF al
location and retraining would solve the problem.
This was done on a comprehensive scale when
we modified all our forces to win the war
against Germany. 1t is equally practical now
when we are required to win the war against
unemployment and reorganize industry on the
basis of a job for every person able and willing
to work.
In addition to r~esorting to palpable sophistries
in his opposition to the 30-hour week, Mr.. Har-
riman utterly fails to see the main issue in the
unemployment problem. Quite likely the re-
organization of industry on the basis of the 80
hour week would require considerable readjust-
ment in plans and policies. But this is minutes
sinai compared with the Importance of provid-
ing Jobs for between ten and eleven million I'M
employed. These jobs must be provided regard
less or the effect on any industry or all indus
tries.
There is only one major problem in America
today. That problem is the employment at
reasonable wages of every able-bodied adult who
is able and willing to work. The shorter work
week will solve that problem. No other ade-
quate solution has been offered. And all the
sophistries and ~fallacies of Mr.. Hartman and his
associates in big business will not serve the
American Federation of Labor from making the
30-hour week effective throughout the United
States either by collective bargaining or NRA
codes or Federal legislation. To this end all the
forces-economic and political-of organized la
Dor are being modified, and the battle lines will
march steadily forward until America can point
with pride to the fact that unemployment has
been abolished in every State in the Union.
