that it takes al 1.-The wit management to just

General Electric for instance carefully explains that
profit figures deceptive, merely bookkeeping device
and that profits are in fact much lower than they ought

The fact is that General Electric made profit of $56

WET STREETS AND PAGE ADS

vTNHE NAM is at it again!
1t expoundng another of it's remarkable economic
theores-and NAM expounds best in page advertisements
Here, in MANS words, is the theory:
"Wet streets rain than high prices cause
initiation Wet streets the result OF rain High prices
are the disastrous result of initiation.
It's beautiful theory The only thing wrong with it is
that it is completely misleading.
Remember what NAM said in it's page ads back in June
of last year? 1t
eff OPA is permanently discontinued, production OF
prices will quickly adjust themselves to levels that consum
ers are willing to pay"
WE'LL prices have been quickly adjusting themselves
for about 18 Notwithstanding upwards, that is.
We didn't have unreasonably high prices and we didn't
have dangerous initiation until after NAM helped kill OPA
Now we've got both.
Maybe we don't understand MANS concpt of initiation
but we do understand high prices.
And we can understand why NAM would try convince
public that exorbtan prices and juicy profits the
result, not the cause, of our initiation.
Furthermore, we'll bet last subscription blank that
NAM would argue that reducing prices would make our
initiation worse!

from the friendly and cooperative spirit shown by

Fifteen years ago such meeting would have been rid

The change was noticeable at once. Through the
years relations improved Neither side feels that the
other side must be kept in sight at all times to prevent
something being done to u.s.
These things took place before Taft-Iartly and Taft

Production

MEXICAN trade unionists justfiaby proud of their
production record. They cannot help viewing with in
creasing cyncsm the demands by certain management
groups that the present 4O-hour week be eliminated.
The fact is the production record of the American work
ing is of the wonders of the world Eloquent
mony of this fact from British publication. The
Spectator, which says:
'Only every 18th person earth is American and
he scarcely than his equal share of the worlds
land yet he produces today probably times much
grain ii times much meat and butter 22 times much
coal and petroleum, 20 to 80 times much manufactured
goods and 80 times many motor vehicles the average
on-American."
No. it is obvious that the management drive to kill the
40hour week cannot stem from any genuine
production matter how hard they try to make this issue
seem real.
Could the motiyating force in this be greed?

 Rep. Johnson said that this was not his intent and that he believes such a branch, if created, should be at Ketchikan. Rep.
