. | 40 PRR CENT RISE IN PRODUCTION IS. POSSIBLE--WALLACE | | | ! Seeks Co-operation of Farmers, Workers, Businessmen in Recovery Program ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—(?)—Secretary ‘Wallace introduced into business dis- cussions Tuesday the prediction that industrial production can be increased “at least 40 per cent” within three years if farmers, workers, businessmen and the government co-operate. He proposed Monday night seven “common sense” ways of restoring trade: Home construction, equitable tax law revision, farm legislation that is fair to producers and consumers alike, enactment of a “well-drawn” wage- hour bill, maintenance of a “healthy” Securities market, continued govern- ment spending until private capital takes up the slack, and continuance of reciprocal trade treaties. Wallace also discussed the labor situation, saying: “If farmers block the efforts of labor to maintain fair wages, they them- selves will be the losers when the workers have less money to spend for farm products. “If workers carry on strikes against fair prices for food, then they will be the losers when farmers have less money to spend for industrial pro- ducts. “If business is to strive above all to pay smaller taxes and to keep wages and farm prices down, then business will lose the market for the things it has to sell, “Business must take the govern- ment’s word that government wishes it well and business must assume those responsibilities of leadership which business claims, Otherwise government will be forced to step == T/CEILING FALLS ON THIRTY-ONE PUPILS —— Won't Testify] an ene Steubenville, Ohio, Dec, 7—()— Attorneys of the National Labor board passed on to their chiefs in Washington Tuesday the next move in the “freedom of the press” controversy growing out of the Weirton Steel company hear- s- ‘They asked Chairman J.
