1886 Wages Represent 63
Per Cent Of Total Income
in the Nation
BY FRED o. BAILEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP)
Workers received approximately
GO per cent of the nations esti-
mated total income of $6O,OOO,-
100000 last year, the department
of commerce has reported.
Labor income climbed from
s29,OO0,O0O,0O in 1888 to $685.
500, 100000 last year, an increase
of approximately 80 per cent. Ma
tional income increased at APP
proximately the same rate from
the 1888 low of S45, 900, 900, 600,
Labor income is defined III the
report, published in the Consum-
er's Guide, as income from sala-
ries and wages of all employees: 1t
includes wages paid to unskilled
workers and to skilled craftsmen,
and salaries paid to office per-
sonnet.
DEPTH REACHED IN 1888
The survey, entitled "who gets
the national income?" showed ma
tional earnings hit a peak OF
S79,OOO,000 900 in 1929 and then
dropped to $45,000,000,000 at
the depth of the depression IN
1888. About 40 per cent OF that
loss has been recovered.
All types of incomes-eXceptt
from interest payments-suffered
major slashes during the depres-
sion. All incomes-exccpt interest
payments--have shown susstan-
tial recovery in the past three
years. 49,,
Interest payments climbed -four
roints in 1880, then dropped to Is
points below the 1929 in 1855.
The decline was attributed to low
err interest rates generally pre-
vailing since the boom period.
DIVIDEND PAYMENTS
RECOVER
Dividend payments suffered
heaviest from the depression. Be-
tween 1929 and 1888 the decline
was 60 per cent. About 30 per
cent of that loss had been recov-
cred at the end Of 1885. Recovery
is believed to have speedcd up
in 1886.
Proprietary payments-incomes
which partners or individual pro-
prietors Of unincorporated enter
prises and self-employed individ-
uals withdrew from their business
in 1929 to $7,30O,O00, 900 in 1888.
They increased to approximately
$lO,O00,000,000 in 1885. o,
Rent and royalty recipients re-
ceived $4,000, 100000 in 1929
and only $l,200,000,000 in 1888.
In 1929 this type Of income repre-:
sentcd 4 per cent of the national
income and in 1888, 3 per cent.
In 1885 it had increased to about
$l,750, 100000.
