Major feature of the measure is to fix the maximum working -week at 40 hours and the minimum wage at 40 cents an hour, which amounts to $16 per week. It isn't very much money, and those who are in close touch with working conditions in the major industries declare it will effect only relatively few. Yet, the Bureau of Labor Statistics in recent figures estimated industrial workers at 8500.000, of which the greater part are receiving more than 40| cents an hour. It shows that in twenty industries in July, 1936, the entrance wages for common labor showed 46 percent of the workers getting less than 425 cents an hour, 19 percent getting less than 375 cents an hour. In the iron and steel industry 36 percent of the workers were getting less than 40 cent an hour in 1933, but by 1935 all but 2.3 percent ha with otliers, the building of current attitudes of in- feriority or superiority to the surrounding world, the | function of will in bringing about compensation and | | overcompensation for deep-felt inferiorities; he clari- | ;ned our thinking along these lines. | And perhaps tke most important result of his work is not in the use other great psychologists made |of it, but in the use the masses have made of his jargon.
