LABOR DAY Labor Day this year, on September 3, comes at a time of great unrest among the nation’s workers, and in the midst of a serious strike situation that shows little sign of improvement. More strikes have occurred during the last six months than in any similar period in several years. Many strikes have been settled, but others have developed to keep strike unemploy- ment at a high level. ; Most of the labor difficulties of the year have arisen over union recognition, or disputes respecting collective bargaining. Endless controversy has centered about in- terpretations of the ambiguous section 7-a of the National Industrial Recovery Act, | which is likely to cause continued con- fusion until it has been definitely clarified. In the main the operation of the NRA has been highly advantageous to labor, through increased wages and a shortening of the working day. some instances the more radical element of the workers has taken advantage of the favorable aspects of the law to make de- mands which employers believe to be with- ; out justification. Without presuming to pass upon the merits of any particular contention of workers+or employe it may be national recovery is being seriously re- ‘tardéd by the strike situation. Unless all concerned show a disposi- ; tion to be reasonable and seek. peaceful means df couiposing their differences, time when the demands for relief, met. also counsel moderation and a_ spirit of conciliation on the part of employes and |! { ployers alike. An exchange observes that when the | “™P°Overs ab PROFITLESS PROSPERITY Here are some facts for everybody to consider because they underlie the future earning power and employment foundation of the United States: Marshall Field & Co., Chieago, second | largest store in the world, sold $45,000,000 worth of drygoods and commodities in the first six months of 1934. That was a $10,- 000,000 increase over the first half of 1933. But it lost nearly $2,000,000 on the turnover. The president of the company told his stockholders: “Our sales failed to iner e to the extent necessary to cover the increased burden put on us by NRA and other national and local governmental During the second quarter our payroll was $1,088,000 more than a year ago and our taxes w $626,000 more.” is Company of York, one of the outstanding public utili- ties in the world, had gross revenues of ,000,000 for the second quarter, prac- tically the same as fora year ago. But profits per share of common stock dropped from 83 The drop was caused wholly by the rise in the cost of do- For the first half of year taxes and operating expenses were up 10.9 per cent from last year.
