New All-Time Peak For
Business Is Envisioned
(Conti nuea from Par 9 One.)
When I started out to hunt a job that
spring, every one was ready to give
the country back to the Indians. Yet,
four short years later business had
chalked up a new record.
It is interesting to note that no
boom period ever stopped before the
previous highs had been broken. Why?
Because of new industries. Just think,
in 1873 the majority of today’s biggest
industries were not even known. The
first transcontinental railroad had
just been finished. The same was true
in the next boom. Many of our biggest
industries of today were unheard of
in 1890.
The point I want to emphasize is
that in every earlier period when it
looked as though American business
had stalled, new industries swept us
on to undreamed of heights.
Tomorrow we will again be blessed
by a flood of more new industries and
myriads of new products. More pat
ents have been issued in the past ten
years than in any previous decade in
our history. A huge demand for our
old, as well as new. products has been
built up by a whole decade of sub
normal consumption. American busi
ness, within a few years, can hit.
highs which even the most optimistic
cannot contemplate.
Television a Reality.
As an example of what I have in
mind, take the recent announcement
by Radio Corporation of America
that television sets will go on the
market in 1939. For two hours a week,

About twenty-five guests were pres
ent.
the first regular television program
will be broadcast. Receiving sets will
be put on the market, priced from
$l5O up. In Great Britain, television
is already going strong. The British
Broadcasting Company sends out pro
grams for two hours every day. The
rapid progress made by television
since I was in England a year ago,
was one of the biggest surprises of
my recent trip.
I am using this* news item simply
to illustrate the potentialities in new
products and new industries. All this
will make jobs for people manufac
turing television sets, and the like.
Also, it means a bigger demand for
raw materials of all kinds; an in
crease in the freight carried by rail
roads and trucks; an addition to re
tail sales; and a greater consumption
of electric power. I again suggest air
conditioning as another illustration.
Furthermore, these new industries
need not throw any people out of
work.
Huge Potential Demand/
Take the efiect of new industries on
the utilities for an example, Within
five years the chemical and metal
industries will require 4,000,000,000, or
33 per cent, more kwh. of electricity
annually than they are now using.
This means more generating equip
ment for the utilities, more fine
ahd metals to make generating equip-,
ment, and more jobs to provide the
fine steels and metals. At least $3,-
000,000,000 worth of construction work
is accumulating in the power industry.
Were unemployment eliminated, We
would find a shortage of a million
homes. This means a potential hous-<
ing volume of $5,000,000,000. The rail
road industry needs $1,000,000,000
worth of new rolling stock to rim ef
ficiently. Rebuilding factories and re
placement of machinery will take an
other $5,000,000,000. The potentialities
of future business stagger the im
agination. Furthermore, our banks
have more money—and . interest rates
are lower—than ever before to finance
this new expansion.
End Selfishness.
The stage is all set for America to
go. There is only one thing holding
us back: Our own selfishness. We are
fighting and bickering among oursel
ves. Pressure groups are trying to
loot the Treasury. Many government
officials are calling business men
names. Many businss men are doing
all they can to discredit the govern
ment. Labor is fighting with employ
ers. Employers are balking at new
labor regulations. It is natural thai
business should suffer and unemploy
ment should increase under such un-
Christian conditions.
But imagine what prosperity we
could have if all interests would pull
together. Then there could he whole
hearted cooperation under the new
rules. Government would then take
business into its confidence and stop
abusing it; while business would treat
the government and the people fairly.
Employers and workers would unite
to increase production, which is the
only road by which labor can raise its
standard of living. In short, if a spiri
tual revival should sweep this nation,
nothing would prevent America from
enjoying a new all-time high. To
quote Frank Buchman, “There is not
enough for the greed of all, but there
surely is enough for the need of all.”
Wages-Hours
Board Without
Needed Funds
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
Washington, Nov. 12.—Elmer An
drews, in charge of wage-hour law
enforcement, is the most poverty-
stricken official in
Washington offi
cially poverty-strick
on, I mean, not per
sonally. Con gress
made very skimpy
financial provision
for the wage-hour
outfit when the act
was passed and
right now, with the
new regulations just
going into effect, a
large and capable
staff particularly is
needed, which is
Andrews
precisely what Andrews hasn’t nearly
enough money to pay for. He has no
doubt that the national legislators
will vote him a far more liberal al
lowance soon after they meet in Jan
uary, but that doesn’t help matters
in the meantime. A scheme was
evolved shortly after the bureau came
into being to divert funds to it from
other government set-ups to help the
wage-hour folk out, It failed to “take,”
however. The other set-ups couldn’t
see it for a minute. There was con
siderable question as to such a di
version’s legality anyway.
So the wage-hour crowd are. do
ing their darndest to keep their heads
above water with a skeleton organi
zation for the present. To be sure, it
isn’t so emaciated-lokoing a crew at
first glance. There are lots of steno
graphers and hello-girls, but it quick
ly becomes apparent that there’s an
unususal scarcity of key executives.
Swamped with Visitors.
The place simply is swamped with
inquiring visitors—important persons,
too—big lawyers, industrial magnates
and members of Congress. Moreover,
they have extremely significant pro
blems that they want solved for them.
They literally jostle one another.
The other day I saw a United States
senator in General : Counsel Calvert
Magruder’s outer office. “I only want
15 minutes With Mr. Magruder,” he
explained. The guardian of the inner
portal investigated. Then, reporting,
“Mr. Magruder,” he said, “will see you
if you’ll make it two minutes.” The
senator acquiesced and, in about 90
seconds, he reappeared in the outer
office.
There may be a modicum of bluff in
this bustle, but I think it’s largely
genuine. I never before saw a gang
of federal employees so hectically and,
seemingly, honestly busy. Generally
a government office is rather leisure
ly. It may be upstage with the hoi
pollio but it’s respectful to senators.
This bunch is so scrambled and
sweaty with haste that it hasn’t time
to discriminate. My opinion is that
it’s half cuckoo With hurry.
Os course it must make plenty of
mistakes, transacting business in
such a rush.
Indeed, it knows it. Chief Andrews

is quite aware that the whole wage
hour law will be in the courts, and
oh up to the Federal Supreme Court,
shortly. It’s doing its sure-enough best
to be overruled as little as possible.
It just can’t help being summary.
Speaks Well Os Bosses.
Chief Andrews speaks well of em
ploydom.
He says it shows an inclination to
comply with the new law.
He really doesn’t know much about
it. He hasn’t the equipment to get out
and investigate not having the
money to investigate. He admits as
much.
The real dow will begin after Con
gress has given him the cash to
launch a campaign. He’s got to have
an investigatorial force. Briefly, he
wants to have “dope” and to have it
attacked; then he can defend the
wage-hour program.
Naturally General Counsel Magrud
er is defensively “making medicine.”
Magruder is about as consequential
as Andrews.
But they haven’t, as yet, the finan- r< .
cial sinews of war—either of them.
It will be an ugly fight—only just
beginning.
Stocks Climb

New York, Nov. 6 12.—(AP)—Steel
stocks today sprinted into new high

Traders returned from their holiday
in a cheerful mood, optimism over the
election and business continuing as
the principal buoying influence. Buy
ing was lively at the start of the two
hour proceedings. The tape lagged, <
however, as profit-taking appeared.
Top marks running to two or more
points were retained in many cases
at the close. Transfers were around
1,000,900 shares. Hitting peak levels
since October, i. 937, were United
