It also supported Senator | Wagner’s bills for the study of unemployment by Federal agencies and the advance planning of public works to mitigate periodical depressions. | It is to be regretted that nothing tangible was| done respecting the so-called ‘“technological un- employment.” President William Green said in this connection: “The displacment of skill by machinery is a tragedy.” It is likely that Mr. Green did not mean just that. He would doubtless be the last to deny the countless advantages of machine pro- duction and the higher living standards that go with it. Presumably i mechanization, not the fact of machinery replacing skill, that Mr. Green deplores. This last is a question that the Federation might | spend far more time on to good advantage. No payroll of around $750,000 and the industry contributes in taxes and royalties to the Government approximately $40,000 per year. The total investment in the timber business exceds $1,250,000 in sawmills, logging and floating equipment It will be readily seen that this consti- tutes one of Alaska’s most valuable present and future resources It was developed largely in answer to the demand of the salmon industry and in response to assur- ance from salmon packers that the product would be absorbed by that industry In contrast, manufacturers of fiber containers do not contribute one cent to either Alaskan taxes or payrolls.
