The Job Situation

We're in the midst of period of great prosperity
the experts say and yet the latest figures show than
four million Americans unemployed.
And nine million persons working only part
time-many of them not more than 20 hours week.
If believe what some of the experts say and the
business writer's concoct then the situation isn't
It's nothing more than normal readjustment."
But you could talk with the -four million without jobs
and the nine million with part-tme jobs you'd hear
entirely different story.
Well go along with the viewpoint of those whose
of income has disappeared through fault of their
The situation is serious and it demands attention
Some of our leading economists say employment will in
crease somewhat between and fall inventories
built up, which is probably true
But there have been real changes in the factors
which brought about the present situation 1t began de-
veopng when prices and profits started increasing faster
than wages.
Consumer purchasing power has reached dan
gerousy low point and of two things must if
we're to avoid real trouble Prices must be reduced sharply
wages must be increased.
But you say, prices have been coming down. haven't
they? Yes they have Between 1889 and last August they
increased about 706 Since last August they decreased

Some of major industries are in excellent position
to hike wages and bolster consumer purchasing power
Unfortunately, they at present taking the
shorsghted position they did when they started showing
into the present mess
And the unions know that much more than the mmedi
ate future of their members involved in wage
drives That's why they're prepared to fight for what they
believe to be right and desirable.

To understand the Administration pressure behind the
intent to raise the hourly minimum to vabe wage 1T is
to grasp the full meaning OF the steps recently
taken by the Secretary of Labor to raise the level

Act This law enacted in 1886 permits the Secretary OF
Labor to determine the minimum in industry which
