REMAIN AGHAsT AND LIVE

The average citizen of Key West,
when stopping long enough to think about
the matter, is literally aghast at the num-
Der of people killed every year in this
country by motor vehicle accidents.
The same brother or sister, however,
when behind the steering wheel of an
automobile, is no longer aghast In fact,
there is no time to think, because for some
reason it is very important to get wherever
it is in hurry.
Occasionally, it happens that an acct
dent occurs, another victim is added to
those already dead and the injured pas
sengers have time for few weeks reflec-
ton in the hospital. Here, once more,
they are aghast.
If we could just figure out some
method of making people aghast while
they are driving automobiles there would
be fewer victims and more safety on the
highways

"Aweell Mr.. Green Is showing the
relation of these figures to the men
and women employed in manufactur-
ing in our country. many Of whom
have children to support and wee
doggies like you TO feed. and he says
that in the year 1929 they received
in wages only l6.5 per cent of the
value produced. the Inference being
that they should have received more.
And then. knowing full well that
these figures have no meaning at all
unless one subtracts from the So
called value produced the cost of
the raw materials - the value of
wheat from the value of flour, for
example-he admits that in the same
year the wage-earners received 1854
per cent of the value added. while
deploring the fact that in the year of
depression 1888 they received only
30.8 per cent of that value. as though

able for division among those who
participate in manufacturing in vari-
Gus capacities. No. for from value
added we must subtract taxes and
many other expenses before we can
ascertain the net value produced or
realized which. of course. Is far less
than value added. When. therefore.
we do this little sum in subtraction
we find to our surprise that the share
of the employees in wages and SAL
aries is more than twice the per-
centage indicated by Mr.. Green.
Look now, Sandie, at this other
book, National Income in the United
States. l929-35. recently published
by the Department of Commerce.
wherein you will see that in the year
1929 the net income produced in man.
ufacturfng was $19.S07 .554. 900, Of
which the employees received in
wages and salaries $l4.o49. 695 600. or
n per cent. Unfortunately for all con-
cerned, the income produced In the
lean year 1888 was much less. being
only $7.796. 626. 900. but of that amount
the employees received no less than
$7.163. 117.000. or more than 81 per
cent. while the owners and creditors
received the remaining $633. 500. 900.
or less than 9 per cent. To be sure,
they received an additional sum Of
$7l8,658. but that was paid out of the
SURPRISES saved during the good
years. This. Sandie, is true picture
of the situation. and very different, as
you can see. from that presented by
Mr.. Green.
For all of that, Sandie. l have a
high regard for Mr.. Green who. as
President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. and no statistician.
naturally looks at such figures
through beclouded eyes. Moreover.
will guess that the brochure in ques-
ton was not written by him, but by
his ghost-writer who should have
known better. Let us hope that Mr..
Green will set his ghost-writer right
as soon as possible that he may
prophesy upon the dry-bones of dusty
figures and make them live and glow
with the spirit and flesh Of truth.
