Recent Survey by “Fortune” Magazine Shows Eco nomic Skies Brighter for the Very Men Who Most

Bitterly Denounce Administration Program.

What groups of Americans have shar- ed the major benefits of the New Deal?

What purports to be an answer to that question was given this week by ‘Fortune’ magazine, whose cost of #1 a copy limits its circulation largely to those of ample means.

On the basis of its second quarterly | survey of pablic opinion in the United States, ‘Fortune’ declares, the economic skies are brighter for the very men who most bitterly denounce the administration program, while they are decidedly less bright for the ‘under-privileged"’ the New Deal wasdntended to lift up.

Figures made public by this magazine | revealed that of the prosperous and middle | classes, nearly half feel better off and more secure, and 22 per cent less secure: while of the poorer classes only a fourth reported their condition to be improved anid 42

p ent declared that they are worse off. n Other words, as ‘Fortune’ pointe

en Man” still feels for

e Is recent broadcasts, Pres- <R relt asked his audience: ‘‘Do

you feel more secure or less secure than you did a year ago?”

To obtain an answer to the question, ‘Fortune? declared, it sent reporters to obtain door-to-door interviews in all parts of the country.

“To say. that the answers are aston- ishing,”’ this magazine said, ‘is only to say that the nature of public opinion is still all but unknown.

“‘An inference from the replies is that "the rich grow richer and the poor grow

poorer. Comsidered by occupations, of the unemployed, 49 per cent feel worse off, and only 10 per cent better; and farm and factory laborers feel nearly ag doleful.

“More content with the trend of affairs are salaried people and proprietors, respectively, 46 and 40 per cent more se- -eure, 25 and 28 per cent less.’’

Commenting on the figures, -the Phila- delphia ‘‘Record”’, a staunch supporter of the New Deal, declares they demonstrate clearly that the ‘‘Achiles heel’’ of the administration is not in the Tory camp, as certain New Deal leaders seem to suppose, but, on the contrary, the vulnerable spot is among the very groups the administration has. insisted it hoped to help.

“Three times in three weeks,”’ the “Record” said, ‘‘the President has made

, broad conciliatory gestures towards the re- actionaries—with the Treasury talk of a ‘balanced budget’, the promise of a ‘breath- ing spell’ for business, and now Mr. Roose- velt’s suggestion that the relief problem be turned batk to private agencies.

“Each of these gestures has met with . bitter seorn. When the President talks of i ‘security wages’ they ery he’s a radical. » When he ealls atténtion to the enormous :Inereage in business profits, they roar that

Labor. Saving Machinery juces

But What Avout et Weekly Shows Alarming

Newly-Invented System Caused by Newly inven rough Speedup Job - Devouring

Barron's Weekly, a paper mainly de-

voted to high finanee, is giving much atten-

tion to the enormous increase in the de-

mand for machine -tools. Taking 1926 as

100, orders for such tools in 1929 reached

189, or a rise of 89 per see These ondets

»ped rapidly during the depression anc

rah ae 1933, they were down to 74 of

the 1926 level. In August of this year, they had ‘climbed to 125.8 per cent.

Barron’s gives many instances of the speedup in production due to machines. Ten years ago, the machines turned out 2700 safety razot handles per operator; now, they turn out 5,400 in the same time. A single operator now makes 1,800 spark

when ten years ago he eould make Two hundred and fifty crank-

shafts per day are now turned out by two | machines and two operators; 10 years it took 25 machines with 25 operators: |

“Labor saving is ten to one,"’ says tle writer in Barron’s of one group of machines, “and upkeep is reduced.””

30-Hour. Week Only Means for Solving Unemployment

Problem With 11,000,000 Unempioved and Private Industry's

Policy of Lengthening Working Hours, There's Not 4 Chance to Remedy Present Out-of Work Problem

|

Uneinployment statisties compiled ly the Amer x ation of Later indicate that around 11,000,000 able-bodied adult workers are still denied ewployment in in dust

These statistics also snow that those | who own and control industry are making | practically no headway toward solving the | unemployment problem which has been in tensified every vear since the beginning of the depression hy the addition of hundreds of thousands of young pegsons who have reached Working age onb\(te find themselves locked out of ve opportunities and driven into the ranks df the jobless army.

In fact, the records of employers dem- onstrates that instead of attempting to solve the unemployment problem by putting the jobless to work they have directed their efforts toward increa: of the unemployed. This was dramatically pointed out recently by President Roose-

labor-displacing machinery that only 80 per cent of the.workers employed in 1929 would now be required to operate industry on the peak basis of that year.

In addition to increasing the number of the unemployed by the wholesale in lation of job-slaughtering machine industry has persistently refused to shorten the work week. Moreover, sinee the Su- preme Court of the United States held the National Indystrial Recovery Act and the .fair practice codes established under it wn: constitutional, employers all over the eoun- try have deliberately lengthened the work week.

In view of this continued poliey of increasing the unemployed by substituting machinery for working men and women, xnd not only refusing to shorten hours but in reality daaroaming then, it is interesting to note President Roosevelt’s declaration in his Boulder Dam speech that these employers are now expected to get busy and put the millions of jobless to work.

_ Charging that the Guffey Coal Stabil- ization Law recently enacted by Congress is unconstitutional, een bituminous coal companies operating in Harlan County Kentucky, declare they will refuse to su mit to the law or the code of fair practice which it authorizes. To emphasize their Hecision the companies have filed suit in the Federal court in Louisville for an in- Junction restraining the Government from enforcing the Act.

Many of the Harlan County coal companies have Jong been noted for refusing to permit trade union organization among the miners and for using gangster methods to prevent organization.

Secretary Anthony Valenti of the ='Federation of Woolen and Worsted |

Workers, received word this morning | from President Thomas F. McMahon of the United Textile Warkers, stat-| tng he bad conferred with officals of the company in New York and that the way had been paved for an early leanterence, at which {t was agreed a representatlve of the national union would be present with a committec of workers to be chosen from the five [iocal unions whose members are employed in these mills. Objection to the presence of one member of the committee, it ts thought, pill be straightened gut so that no further delay will be experienced in holding the conference.

It is now nearly two months since the 3500 employes who were on strike jfor six weeks In the Uxbridge, Low~ ell, Pascoag, Woonsocket and Putnam mills of the company, returned to work on condition that matters in controversy would be amicably settled.

Delay in holding the conference was attributed to hopes entertained by the company that an independent union started by a small group would grow to such proportions as to make {t unnecessary to negotiate with the U \T. W. of A. unions. It fs now reported that this group has been-un- suocessful—that not more than 25 joined the independent union in Ux- bridge and that company officials are now satisfied the matters {n question must be settled through regular unfon channels.

ol purpose of this bill Is to stabilize con.
