This is done in a quarter-page space j in the loocal paper, with a picture of the agent and a little sketch of his services with the road, accompanied with reading matter explaining how he may be of great- er service in advising the public concern- ing their traveling and shipping problems. This is in line with the policy of many retail stores, which include pictures of their leading salespeople in -their adver- | tising from time to time. There is some- thing about this kind of advertising which compels attention, for one in the world is more interesting than people, particular- ly local peop] ezsmesesmunenansne Intimate, friendly oe great extent faking the iat e of, bastic, exaggerated style s6 prev: few years ago.

But, sad to say, it is widely be- lieved especial- ly in labor cir- cles, that the present divi- sion is grossly unfair and that John L. Lewis was right when he said that labor has suf- fered from a “viciously unequal dis- jatribution of the national income.” Presumably, Mr. Lewis was think- ‘hiefly of labor income in mining fanufacturing, so it will b the point to give some figures from “National .dncome in the United States, 4929-35," an important and reliable, ort prepared by our Bu- regu of Foreign and Domestic Com- merce. » Here we see that in the year 1929; the total income paid out or distvibu- ted in the mining and quarrying in- dustry was $2,079.776,000, of which | the employees received in wages and | salaries no less than §1.636.220.000, or | 78.7 per cent, while capital, repre- | sented by stockholders. individual en- trepreneurs, and creditors, received the remaining 21.3 per cent. But inas- much as the income produced in that year was only $1,894,270,000. the share of the employees was 86 per cent of the income produced and that of the stockholders 19 per cent, the deficit | being paid out of the surpluses aecu- mulated in previous years. In the year 1934, also the industry showed (Address questions to the au By J. E. LE ROSSIGNOL Dean, College of Business Ad=tinistration, University of Nebraska d Your Affairs equality” Here { i | BES } a large deficit and the employees re- ceived more than 100 per cent of the income produced. The record in the manufacturing { industry is muck the same. In the year 1929 the total income paid out by that industry was $18,013,477.000, | of which the employees received $14,- | 849,695,000, or 82.4 per cent. But in the year of depression, 1932, when the income distri®uted was $8,543,- 338,000 and the income vroduced was only $5,622,745,000, the employees re- ceived $7,076,083,000, which was 82.8 per cent of,the income paid out ané more than the total income pro- duced, the enormous deficit being paid out of surpluses, that is, from corporate and individual savings. The figures relating to the share of labor in trade, transportation, and construction .re very similar to these. Only in agriculture is the fraction of, income paid fo employees quite small. because, of course. our farmers and their families do most of their own work, Altogether, then, considering the | to| vast amount of capital, invested in», mining, manufacture,’ trade, trans- portation, construction, and other in- dustries, the relevant fig gure lend no’ support to Mr. Lew‘s ‘in’ Ni: enauall: fied allegation about," igigualy, une equal distribution.” But t aise the question as to what can be done to improve labor conditions in the United States which as everybody knows, are by no means ideal. though far better than those of any other country. Can the employes ceive a larger fraction of the pr nt national in- come without seriously @iscouraging saving and investment and thereby | drying 1p the national income at the source? Probably not!
