In time of | wages are so cut that no matter how | plentiful goods may be and how cheap, few have the money with which to buy. | If we arbitrarily restrict the hours so | that no man in industry could work | longer than a certain fixed maximum | which is well below the present maxi- mum, the effect would be to raise wages automatically.” This proposal is different from thaf | embodied in the share-the-job move- |ment. As was explained by Walter C. | Teagle in the New York Herald-Tribune | magazine of January 1, the object of | sharing-the-job is to spread existing employment among as many persons as is practicable without increasing the | pay roll; whereas the object of Dr. | Langmuir's proposal is both to spread | the work and to increase the pay roll. | In normal times there are about 48,- | 000,000 persons gainfully employed in | the’ United States. At present it is es- | timated that this number has shrunk to 38,000,000 or less. |~ Suppose, to assume an extreme ap- plication of the Langmuir idea, that | throughout the Nation the hours of | labor were cut in half; that the mam| Bk\kho works eight hours a day is re- | stricted fo four hours a day = | two men where only one is employed now. The 10,000,000 unemployed, or such of them as are employable, would | be absorbed; but even they would not b2 enough to equal the number now in jobs. There would be competition for the scarce labor: in that bidding wages ould rise, purchasing power would bs restored to the workers, their buy- ing would create additional demand for goods, this in turn would stimulate more industrial ectivity, provide more employment, more purchasing, until a balance is reached between productiv- and consumptivity. This, in brief, the idea—though Dr. Langmuir did not recommend any specific cut in hours. Such details would be de- termined on the basis of the number of workers available and the possible output of each man an hour. Surplus Production Feared. There is current in engineering cir- cles today a persistent assertion to the effect that added industrial activity on | the basis of present wages and prices would only glut the country with in- creasing surplus goods. Here is how the thought was given me by Arthur H. Adams of New York, a man of wide experience as an inventor and designer. as a supervisor of men in industry and in development and cost-reduction work. “Bupnose that a2 mililon men are put | to work tomorrow,” said Mr. Adams, “doing anything there may be for them to do, except ‘made work.’ Because the industrial plant is already so over- built, the bulk of what they turn out will be goods for consumption. Com. pute the value of their output of con- sumer goods at retail prices. Then figure what the wages and salaries of these men amount to and any added profits created for their employers. “If you will compare these two totals you will find that the consumers’ bu; ing power created by putting the mil power—but, ask the wage-raisers, would | 18 not going to be “automatically self- we be able to sell the increased output | t a profit? | The Program of Technocracy. 1 ‘The radical program of technocrac; the group of engineers who are makin |an energy survey of North America, proposes abolition of the price system | (including money wages) in some as yet undefined organization of industry. The discussion of their re- sults, as reported to the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Sci- | ence during Christmas week, provoked | such wide differences of opinion among engineers themselves that we must as- | sume that their findings are as yet| | incomplete. | The depression doctors must take | into account all these different and conflicting proposals—just as they must | consider such embarrassments as our | shrinking exports and rotting agricul- | tural surpluses. If the engineers are| right in the question they pose, it is| it, “the fundamental question before | the world today.” Tne problem will| surely come before the World Eco- nomic Conference, if that body under- | takes any thorough-going study of the| depression which in 1932 became world- wide. High hopes are set on this World Economic Conference, which is soon to convene in London, and the success of its deliberations will assuredly con- tribute to recovery in every country of the world. But, no matter how com- pletely successful the London confer- ence may be in attaining an under-‘ standing on the war debts and other in- (Continued From Third Page.) ers’ affairs is vested in the “Yacheika, which is comprised of Communists ap- pointed by the party.

Research end invention have not been icle these three years. The American Machinist reports an auto- mobile factory that doubled its output per man per hour. The same increase is reported for a typewriter factory. “The only way to recovery,” con-| cludes this engirecr, “is by increase in ‘real’ wages. The only safe way now to avoid disaster—however incredible it may seem—is a general increase in dollar pay per hour, plus shorter hours. Dr. Langmuir'’s proposal for a Nation- ' wide shortening of hours until the labor market gets tight is as good a lever 2s any to lift the money value of human labor. “Bankers could enforce recovery if | they could sec this basic fact: That at present prices of goods and labor our people at work simply cannot buy back their proper share of what they pro- | duce.

The collective farms I saw are no better. An American acquaintance of mine. a young man steeped in the radi- cal tradition, set sail with his wife for the land of the Soviets. I saw them before they left, bucyed with hope and enthustasm, he gladly giving up & lu- crative pocition and a $50 monthly pension to help build in the new land. A year later, while I was in Moscow, he wrote me from one of the collectt farms in the south. “We are starving,” the letter read, “though daily my wife and I harvest enough food to supply many families.

And so with other adjust- ments and readjustments ahead. People will get jobs when busi- ness recovers—and generally in no other way now available to us.” People will get jobs when business recovers—business will recover when people resume buying—but people need jobs with which to earn money | with which to buy. The sequence is a circle, but it must have a beginning.

Later in the evening, after the day's work was done, the workers gathered around the field pit into which the harvest—innocent yet of any kind of packing—had been tossed preparatory to being shipped to the railroads. A representative of the government climbed into the pit and threw to the | hungry peasants at the rim the spoiled, Totten or crushed vegetables that could not be shipped. Exceptional Workers Rewarded ‘The Soviet system makes short shfift of the worker who misbehaves or fails to do his part.

He is one of the “Udarniki,” and, most treasured of all, he may be awarded a trip to Europe. Not long ago a party of 30 of these “Udarnikis,” including 12 “ommunist leaders, were taken by ship to Germany for a holiday. Despite the fact that the party was guarded by secret servicc men, 8 of the 12 Communist leaders escaped, preferring to risk starvation in Germany rather than return to Russia.
