Cascarella would pitch one of these

for his first victory in st. Louis.
Cascarella was in the bull pen
for the last two days, and unless
he shows a lot more stuff than he
has shown up to date, he is going
to stay there. Harris is plagued by
q thought that perhaps Joe
pitched better last year than he
knew. In IS innings so far, Casca-

Is No Bargain
Newsonn, on his record, is no bar
gain. In twenty and two-third in
nings he has allowed IL earned
runs. He allowed 81 hits and gave
IL bases on balls, running the total
number of men to reach first base
on him alone to 33. His earned
run average is nothing to elicit
warm praise from the front office.
In Lie innings played thus far
the Griff pitchers have allowed
81 earned runs, or something bet
ter than one half an earned run
per inning, or an average of As
earned runs per nine-inning game,
taking round figures. These runs
have been made on los base hits,
good for 149 total bases. Five home
runs were made by the enemy. No
fewer than II bases on balls were
handed out by the pitchers, and
three batSmen were hit by pitched
balls. Only Al enemy hitters were
stopped on strikes.

games. They punched 80 hits in
two games, one against the Ath-
letics and one against the Indians.
But then they stopped dead in
their tracks.
Chapman Fails
Ben Chapman did nothing yes
terday, which may explain why
the Grifs were defeated. You
can't steal first base in this major
league, and Chappie didn't come
close to getting on. His defense
was sparkling, however.
Al Simmons got a clean hit to
right field and walked twice. He
is slowly but surely showing signs
of coming to life. When he starts
hitting things may be different.
The Griffs miss Cecil Travis
and his potent bat. But they do
not miss him, defenSively. Bluege
has played brilliant ball at short
stop. Johnny Riddle has a sore
arm and he may not be able to
catch today. Misfortunes and buzz
cards fly in flocks.

low great an increase In output
would be required to restore by 1941
. per capita level Of production and
consumption equal to that Of 1929.
The results Of the survey Of the
situation In the fields of housing and
other forms Of durable goods, steam
railroads, public utilities, industrial
enterprises. ETC., are striking. 1t
would be necessary to produce such
durable goods at the rate Of approxi-
mately 80 billion dollars annually
from 1887 through 1941. as compared
with actual production of only Il
billions in 1886, and of rs billions
annually in the boom period between
1925 and 1929.
In other words, to make up for
what it did not produce in depres-
sion years. and to- provide for the
needs of an expanding population,
he nation would have to produce an
nually 60 per cent more durable
goods than in 1886. Three times as
much housing construction would be
necessary. In the field of non-dur-
able, consumption goods which are
such things as food, clothes, and
.musements, such large expansion
would not be needed.
A Labor Shortage Might Result
The production program required
in the fed of durable goods would
lecessitate at present working
lours-the employment of from to
9 million additional laborers. Max
ing allowance for additional workers
needed to produce consumption
goods, it appears certain that unless
working hours were heightened,
there would be shortages of both
skilled and unskilled labor.
Since standards of living cannot
be restored to former levels unless
productive output is restored, any
urther shortening of the working
week will restrain the expansion Of
utput and thus restrict the raising
If standards Of living. 1t should be
,orne in mind that working hours
lave been reduced since 1929 by ap-
roximately 20 per cent, as COM
ared with only 13 per cent in the
,receding 80 years.
The present recovery movement
as been marked by steadily in
reasing wage rates as compared
18th prices, and this has increased
urchasing power among the mass
s. The employment Of more work
rs as production has expanded has
increased the flow Of money to the
working population; and at the
anne time those already employed
ave been able to buy more with
heir wages. During the same pc
'iod, profits have been greatly in
;reased from low depression levels,
as result Of the expansion of out

This efficiency increase has been

the basis for an old-time vicious
spiral of imitation. While the particu-
lar labor groups who receive higher
wages may stand to gain for time,
and while the industries in question
may temporarily pass on higher
costs to consumers, further broad
expansion of business activity ap-
pears to be threatened
The advance in the prices of such
basic products as iron and steel and
other metals, building materials,
ETC., may hamper expansion of pro-
duction in certain very important
lines. Only recently have the rail
roads gotten into a financial shape
that would permit them to spend
much money on new equipment and
the building of better roadbed and
track. Now, with the price of steel
rising, and with wage increases also
in prospect, it is doubtful whether
the railroads will be able to carry
out the extensive programs Of re-
Mobilization which they have
planned. Similarly, the building OF
new houses, apartments, etc., may be
held back by the rising prices OF
building materials. If this turns out
to be the case, it will check the re.
employment of idle workers, and
the attainment of the higher stand.

Large sections of the population
would soon suffer as a result of a
rapid rise in prices. Among them are
farmers who do not work for wages.
individuals on fixed salaries; and
those living on incomes from invest
ments. These constitute more than
half this total population. Perhaps
the most serious phase of the prob,

cultural prices which may result ii

Greatly Expanded Production
REQUIRED for Full Recovery
By HAROLD G.. MOULTON
President. The BroOkings Institution

The recovery movement between
1884 and 1886 was thus soundly
based Production was steadily
mounting, purchasing power was be-
ing spread broadly among the
masses, speculation was not exces
sive, business men had not stocked
up with heavy supplies Of goods,
and the general balance between
production and consumption was
satisfactory.
At the end of 1886, therefore, the
stage seemed set for a period of
great expansion. Production require
ments were adequate to absorb all
the unemployed. The reco very
movement was steadily broadening;
the economic system as whole was
in reasonably good balance, and at
the same time the possibility of the
government balancing its budget ap-
peared SOM what brighter.
Further Expansion Threatened
In recent months, particularly
since February, the situation has
changed in one vitally important
respect. Rapid increases in raw ma
terial prices and in wages have laid

How Does Unemploy.
ment Compensation
Affect You?

A fundamental thought support
ing the payment of unemployment
benefits is that such procedure will
eliminate much of the stress and
failure that has come to business
in times past by sudden curtail-
ment of purchasing power.
Compensation will protect the
workers morale during periods OF
unemployment by assuring them OF
a fixed income as a matter or right,
and not as a generosity of relief or
of charity. The employers contri-
buttons are the workers insurance
against nuemployment-the nuem~
ployed who have lost their work
through the varying industrial and
business conditions will no longer
be forced to beg for aid.
The amount which each unem-
ployed and eligible worker will re-
ceive for each week of unemploT-
ment depends upon his previous
earnings and his full-time weekly
wage. His earning power is one
basis for determining his benefits.
All workers do not earn the same
salaries, and likewise, all unem-
ployed workers will not receive the
same amount in benefits.
If worker is totally unemployed
he may receive an amount equai
to SO per cent of his previous tIll-
time weekly wage, with maxi
mum benefits of $15. This means
that a bakery-route driver who mas
earned $2S a week will be eligible
for benefits of $14 weekly, a sum
large enough to tide him over un-
til a new job is found.
The minimum benefit under the
Arizona law will generally be 20
per week but it may also be three
fourths of the full-time wage, II
that should be an amount less than
the $5 sum.
For partial unemployment there
will also be benefits, with the
stipulation that wages earned ana
benefits granted may not total IN
excess of 50 more than the benefit
would be for total unemployment
This means that if the bakery-route
driver was partially unemployed
making only $11 a week, he could
draw benefits not to exceed 50 a
week. which added to his wage
would be 50 more than his maxi
mum possible benefits of S14
week.
The number of weeks that the
unemployed and eligible worker
will receive benefits depends upon
the total wages which he has EARN
ed prior to his unemployment. He
can receive no more than IA weeks
of benefits in any benefit year, nor
can he receive more than one-slEth
of his unchanged wage credits
(salary) determined upon a base
period.
Unemployment compensation pro
vides the unemployed worker with
at least portion of his forne"
wage for a time ordinarily sufErl-
ent to permit him to find a new
job. 1t will tend to reduce the re-
lief.
1t will undoubtedly encourage
and foster the reduction ard pre-
