Federation said in its monthly sur
vey, IF we are to have a balanced
and permanent recovery.
The present business upSwing is
the healthiest thus far; it is the

which seems due chiefly to inherent

Dividend Payments Up
Dividend payments in August
exceeded last year by S11.OO0,OOO. or
per cent; the steel industry is out
of the red for the first time since
1880. With these signs of increased
industrial earnings, much depends
on the workers making drive now
for higher incomes"
Surveying workers incomes dur
ing the so-called recovery period,
the labor organization found that
wage earners in four industries
mining, manufacturing, building
construction and transportation by
steam railroads and water-loSt SO
per cent of their income from 1929
to 1882.
Incomes of highly paid manage
ment officials in these same indus
tries during that period showed
SO per cent drop. In 1884, when
wage earners received SO per cent
of 1929 income, the property holders
income was 81 per cent.
Declaring the loss of income 20
workers is "a matter of the greatest
national concern" the survey added
even in 1919, their share was too
small for industrial health; today
it is smaller yet.
Share Must Increase
"If industry is to increase its mar
ket for goods and its opportunities
for production and progress, if the
American nation is to build up its
living standards, the share of these
workers must increase. For these
groups have the greatest need for
industries productS-food, clothes,
homes, radios, automobiles. Give
them buying power and their buy
ing will lift industry to higher
levels than any yet reached"
The Federation said 10000, 900
wage and salaried workers in trade
and service industries lost 36.5 per
cent of their income from 1929 to
1888, regaining only per cent from
1888 to 1884. In 1884, their income
was still below 1929 by 80 per cent,
or 8,600O00,OOO.
ITO restore these jobs and wage
cuts is Americas greatest problem"
it concluded.
1T is disquieting to find that en-
ployment gains are by no means
keeping pace with gains in produc-
ton as industry RECEIVERS. Without
action by organized workers we can
not expect increasing business to
put the unemployed to work"

belief based upon a study in retro
spect of the August market for

and left behind.
This is held to be true Of govern
ment bonds and notes. Of municipal

One of the principal reasons for

without liquidation of mentionable

Yields Larger Revenues

The So tax on each proof gallon
or wine gallon of distilled spirits
yields generally larger revenues
than the smaller tax which obtained
during the pre-prohibition period,
but the share of the tax on distilled
spirits in total receipts has dimin-
ished. For the fiscal year 1885 the
WELD from the tax on distilled splr-
its was $179,20O,0 900, a figure slightly
above the pre-war average and eX-
ceeded only in 1917, 1918 and 1919,
in the period before prohibition.
Collections from Federal liquor
taxes the study of the Conference
Board points out, are considerably
smaller than was estimated prior to
repeal. 1t was generally assumed,
for example, that the production OF
beer would equal the 1911-1917 aver
ages of approximately sixty million
barrels. At $500 per barrel this rate
of production would represent an
annual tax revenue of $300OOO,000.
Actual production in the fiscal
year 1884, however, was only APP
proximately two-thirdS of the 1911
1917 average. This is due in part
to the relatively low level of indi-
vidual incomes and to continuation
of bootleg production and distribu-
ton.

Figures Broken Down

Of the total Federal receipts from
liquor taxes in the year 1934-35,
malt liquors produced somewhat
more than half, according to the
Conference Boards study; distilled
spirits more than two-fifths, with a
small remainder divided among
wines, cordials, floor taxes and mis-
cellaneous taxes. For the year just
closed taxes on fermented malt
liquors, including the special tax on
brewers and dealers, produced a
revenue of $215, 100000, as compared
with $178,200,0o0 for taxes on liquors
with high alcoholic content.
These figures are in marked con-
trast with those for the pre-prohibi-
ton era. In the period 191O-1917'
for example, the tax on fermented
liquors did not yield a revenue OF
as much as $10O,0O0,O00 in any one
year. The tax rates on beer, how
ever. were much lower than the
present rate of $500 per barrel, and
the difference in collections can not
be construed at indicating greater
consumption.

Ierable of buyers strike" particu-
