were more difficult to dispose of.

Except for manufacturing, rail
transportation. and a limited num-
Der Of occupations, data on hourly
/ earnings are available for only the
past several years. From the high
to the low of this depression, the
hourly earnings of manufacturing
labor apparently declined between
20 and 30 per cent. The recovery
in hourly earnings has been rapid
and great.
Where it is possible to piece to-
gether the pertinent figures, they
show that the losses in hourly earn
ings suffered during the depression
had BY the close of 1884 been sub
stnatially made up, and that hourly
earnings were then not far below
the levels of 1929.
Since the NRA has been operative,
from June. 1888, to the end Of 1884,
both actual and real hourly earnings
have increased very substantially in
practically all categories of indus
try. and real hourly earnings have
declined only in those industries in
which rates of wages were already
high and had not been reduced ma
terially during the course of the de-
preston.

Chattanooga voted to for IVA
power despite an intensive fight by
private power interests. Earlier,
Memphis voted for IVA power, ST.
1876 to 1868, and Knoxville approved
a bond issue with which to build or
acquire a municipal system for dis
tributing iva energy.
Knoxville, unable to buy, is build
ing competing system, using FUNDS
advanced on its bonds by PWA.
Memphis is negotiating a contract
with IVA and then will try 70 buy
the private power system there;
failing that, it will build. AnG IVA
will be ready to serve Chattanooga
when Norris Dam is completed IN
the spring of 1886.
Beaten Only Once
Out of four times the issue of sup
porting IVA has been put to the
voters, it has failed once. That was
at Birmingham, where other issues
were simultaneously involved. Those
who should know believe that Birm-
ingham, if given a second oppor-
tunity, would vote for IVA.
Thus, while one Federal judge has
already ruled against IVA, the peo-
pie of the valley have shown by I'M
mistakable majorities that they want
cheap ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS power.
Already more than 1000 persons
of the valley are receiving these
benefits. IVA, under the direction
of David E. Lilienthal, is furnishing
cheap power to the cities of Tupelo,
Miss, Athens, Ala, and Pulaski and
Dayton, Tenn. In addition, it is
supplying customers in nine north
eastern Mississippi counties, and it
has other customers along 80 miles
of rural lines about Wilson Dam at
Muscle Shoals.
The four major towns are whole
sale customers, re-Selling energy to
local consumers at low rates fixed
by their contracts with the Author
ity. Co-operatives are operating the
IVA power systems in Alcorn and
Pontatoc Counties.
That this is good business for
these political subdivisions, as we'll
as for the consumers, is proved by
the fact that during the first II
months it received IVA power, the
city of Tupelo population 636D
made a net profit of $20,955. Resi-
dental consumption of electricity
in Tupelo increased about ia per
cent in the same period, at rates
estimated to be about half of those
charged by the Mississippi Power
Co., which used to serve Tupelo.
Much Is Available
Although IVA is selling some
power at Wilson Dam to the Ala
bama Power Co., is supplying en-
ergy used in building the Norris,
Joe Wheeler and Pickwick dams,
and is using power in its fertilizer
experiments and at the town of
Norris, it still has much energy
available at Muscle Shoals.
When Norris, Wheeler and Pick
wick dams are completed and their
power installations complete, the
Authority will have more than $780,
600 kilowatts of prime power avail
able. From this pool, TWAS sup
porters hope, the whole valley will
eventually receive cheap power.
The disposition of this surplus
power is the issue involved in the
suit decided against IVA by Federal
Judge Grub at Birmingham sew
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-03-20

eral weeks ago, and now being APP
pealed to the Circuit Court.
Judge Grubb held, in effect, that
IVA was within the law when it
built dams to provide navigation
and flood control and to prevent
soil erosion. He also held, in effect,
that if IVA produced at these dams
a small amount of power above that
used in its operations, it might sell
such energy, but that it could not
sell large quantities of power. For
this. he decided, would put the IVA
and the government in a 'proprie-
tary business" which ne held I'M
proper.
In appealing this decision, IVA
will seek a definition of surplus
power, contending that it must
manufacture power to prevent waste
of a natural resource and to carry
out its constitutional functions OF
providing flood control and naviga-
tin, and that it can sell surplus pow
er in any quantity.
