AFL Says 1850 May See Unemployment
Pass Five Million Mark; Asks Action

Washington UPA) - Warning
that unemployment is likely to pass
the 100000 mark in 1850, the
American Federation of Labor has
called on management and labor to
"find a solution without an in
crease in government spending. It
said the 1850 prospect "will test
the ability of our free enterprise
system to maintain full produc-
! tion and employment" and propos-
ed a program of management
labor action to meet the situation.
Looking ahead, Labor's Monthly
Survey, the AFL research organ,
said workers were facing 1850
with much more concern over the
increase in unemployment which
seems sure to develop. 1t based
this forecast on statistics indicat-
ing that purchasing power will
reach only $3.50 billion in 1850, but
full production would create $276
billion worth of goods. The result
ing gap of $4,000, ,0C0, coo, it said,
means average unemployment of
81 million workers, and during
dull seasons is likely to go beyond
that.
with shortage of demand, de-
clining production and rising un-
employment in prospect after June
$780," the Survey said, "many
persons would turn to larger gov
ernment spending as an easy way
to bolster the economy. This would
not be constructive. Taxes are al
ready taking a large part of work
ers' earnings-the average worker
with no dependents pays 11.5 per
cent of his weekly earnings to the
Federal government lin income
taxes). The national debt, already
nearing the danger point, will in
crease in 1850; to raise it further
would indeed be foolhardy; to build
big government even bigger and
make our economy dependent upon
it would be a serious step away |
from the way of life which has
brought us freedom and high liv-
ing standards.
"The prospective business decline
after mid-1950 is a challenge to
and labor to find a
solution without an increase in
government spending. 1t will test
the ability of our free enterprise
system to maintain "full' produc-
5ion and employment. Our economy
is strong and healthy. Reserves of
buying power are large, in person
al savings, and undstributed pro-
its of corporations; business work
ng capital is strong. We face in
1850 not a depression, but another
business readjustment which need
not be disruptive if we take the
light steps to meet it.
Several constructive develop
nents are possible as suggested
above. A gradual price decline will
release more buying power; con-
,inued spending by business to i'm
prove equipment would maintain
employment and increase produc-
.ivity; reduction in the many taxes
1aid by consumers would enable '
hem to buy more Of the durable
goods they want and need. We do /
lot attempt here to list other pro-
'osals. A constructive program
:ould only be worked out by COM (
'etent representatives of manage ]
nent, labor and other groups. We

New Faces in Conoress

Walter S. Barring, 81, a Democrat,
has the distinction of being Ne
vada's only Representative. Three
other members of the House-those
from Delaware, Vermont and Wyo-
ming-can boast of being their
States sole Representatives.
Mr.. Barring, a Reno businessman,
speaks in the House for the Nations
populous State, but its residents
occupy an area of more than 10000
square miles.
A native of Goldfield, famed as
a mining camp of gold rush days,
he has been a lifelong resident of
Nevada. His late father served in
the State Legislature and as an
Esmeralda County commissioner.
This is Mr.. Baring's first term
in Congress, but he occupied a
desk on the hill in the early 1930s.
Having graduated from the Uni
versity of Nevada in 1882 with
Bachelor of Science degree, he came
to Washington to take a position
in the office of the late Senator
Key Pittman.
He retained his interest in poll
tics on his return to Reno, and, in
1886 was chosen Democratic chair
man of Washoe County and presi-
dent of the Reno Young Democrats
Club.
In 1887, Mr.. Barring was elected
to the Nevada Assembly, the lower
house of the Legislature. He served
there as chairman of the Political
Affairs Committee and as a MEM
Der of the Ways and Means and
Education Committees. He was re-
elected to the Assembly in 194l but
resigned to enlist in the Naval Re-
serve. While in the Navy, he acted
as an instructor in radar, mathe-
matics and related subjects.
In 1948, he was elected to the
Reno City Council but resigned on
his election to the House in No.
vember, defeating Charles H. Rus
sell, the Republican incumbent.
Mr.. Barring is a 32d degree Mason
and a member of the Reno Lions
and Toastmasters Clubs. He is a
member of the House Committee
on Public Lands, an assignment
which pleases him because OF the
numerous matters of interest to
Nevada likely to come before that
group.
Mr.. Barring is married to the for

He added that the outlook is
