By ELMAR G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, OcS. 25. (UP)-
President Roosevelt's speech last
night before the American Bank
ers Association impressed Wall
Street favorably.
There was a feeling the mar
kets would react bullisbiy to the
speech, although it was realized
the utterance did not present any
magic to dispel the unemployment
situation, the need for heavy ex-
penditures for relief, or make for
balanced budget or stabilized
dollar.
Those conservatives who ex-
press the true opinion in financial
circles were not disappointed In
the omission of these moot points.
They held the president could not
honestly say at this time he would
balance the budget when the re-
lief burden was so great. And it
would be equally difficult to ar
rive at a stabilized currency with
out world cooperation that seems
lacking at this time.
More stress was placed on the
conciliatory tone of the message
to the bankers than to its content.
the financial community the first
1t represented, in the opinion of
step in a complete reapprochment
between banking and the admins
tration-an accord so necessary
to real recovery.
Two points stood out in relief,
namely the statement OF the presl-
dent indicating the governments
willingness to curtail federal lend
ing activities as soon as private
capital is able to meet demands
of business and industry; and the
reiteration of the capitalistic
theory of wealth as the reward for
labor of mind and hand.
1t appeared to those who studl-
ed the speech that the president
was seeking to dispel fears that
the government would continue to
make inroads into private business
and banking. Once those fears
are dispelled and there is indica-
ton of a relatively stable dollar,
the capital market will be opened
wide, says the experts. When that
opening occurs, real activity on
recovery will commence.
Another point that was pleasing
to financiers was the reference to
steadiness of prices and values. In
some former speeches, the en-
phasis was laid on raising prices
and a few of them the inference
was drawn that all should be push
ed to 1926 levels. Such proce-
dure, it was pointed out, would
work a hardship on workers gen.
orally as we'll as on farmers.

COOPERATION
OF BANKERSH
PLEDGED F. R.
Stand Paves Way For
Cooperative Recovery
Drive, After Appeal

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. (UP)
The American Bankers associa-
ton today pledged its co-opera-
ton with President Roosevelt's
recovery efforts in a significant
gesture of response to the presi-
dents reassuring address last
night, in which he urged shoulder
to shoulder action.
The convention unanimously
adopted resolutions embodylng
the committees recommendations
urging continued cooperation
with the administration and an
early balancing of the federal
budget.
This conciliatory spirit was in
sharp contrast with the anti-new
deal sentiment which was preva-
lent during the 1888 convention.
The stand taken by the 1000
delegates paved the way for a
cooperative recovery drive as
was suggested last night by the
president when he said "the time
, is ripe for an alliance of all
| forces"

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-28

In 1884 some 100000 automobiles
and trucks were produced in COM
parison with about 5,500,000 units
in 1929. Thus the industry was still
operating at level that was SIS per
cent lower than its peak. And in
terms of its estimated capacity of
100000 units, it's indicated opera
lions show a crisis state.
The advance of auto production
in 1884 over 1888 was due to the
need for replacing vehicles that
were WORKOUT even before the on
set of the crisis, and a reduction
and a merciless speed-up. 1t is sig
in prices achieved by low wages
nificant that the increase in pro-
duction was brought about without
corresponding rise in employment.
The price reductions were entirely
at the expense of the workers. The
manufacturers have enjoyed IRE
mendous profits under the New Deal
In 1882 General Motors profits were
$164,979. During 1888 its profits
sky-rocketed to $83 ,213,6 75. And in
the first nine months of 1894 it's
profits totalled $92,445,341. Some
OF the smaller companies earned
s57 ,848,o00 in the first ten months
of 1888 and during the same period
in 1884 their profits rose to $91, $751;
900.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-28

At the same time the real wages
of auto workers were falling even
according to the official figures OF
the Michigan Department of Labor.
Their annual wages, it has been adj
mitted by Roosevelt and govern
ment spokesman, run between $500
and 5000. AS a result of seasonal
slumps all the workers who are en-
ployed only have part-time employ
ment. In addition, there are around
100000 workers in all phases of the
industry who are permanently I'M
employed.
At the hearing held in Detroit
this month before the Auto Labor
Board, the intolerable working con-
ditions in the auto plants were
brought out by workers. They tes-
titled to the inhuman speed-up that
grows worse from month to month.
AS an example Ford worker told
how formerly five men used to make
300 crankshaft jigs day. Now
three man make 500. Along with
the accelerated speed-up, there has
been a letdown in safety conditions,
so that the auto plants have be-
come veritable slaughter houses pill
ing up manned and dead workers.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 27.-What
is the truth of the ballyhoo which
is flooding the bosses newspapers
throughout the country that auto
production has risen and hence the
crisis is shown to be coming to an
end? An analysis of the figures of
auto production shows that the
temporary seasonal rise in produce
ton of new models has been
brought about at the same time
that profits have scared, speed-up
has increased, and real wages have
declined. Never were the auto work
ers, ridden by company unions, in
a more miserable or poverty-stricken
state than now.
The stepping up of assembly lines
on 1885 models has brought about
a rise in automobile production.
Since this is the season" for the
auto industry, such a rise was to be
expected. But 1t does not signify
as the capitalist press claims, that
the automobile industry is showing
the way out of the crisis for all of
industry. There is no sign of a
genuine industrial revival, and the
capitalist experts themselves say
that production and business ac-
tivity in 1885 will hardly be better
than in 1884 as a whole.
