Lessons to Learn on Productivity and Jobs
The American worker produces 25 to 30 percent more per hour than in 1929 yet employment and total factory hours have fallen. Data from 1929 to 1938 show output per hour up to 117.8 while factory employment drops to 81.9 and total hours to 59.9. The piece asks why higher productivity has not translated into broader benefits and urges solving how to translate production gains into more jobs and goods for all while reducing the gap between producers and consumers.

Roosevelt Reorganization Plans Pass Despite Opposition
Raymond Clapper notes that the reorganizing legislation faced loud alarms but a pared down bill passed. Plan No. 1 consolidates agencies into relief social security and lending. Plan No. 2 affects about 20 agencies abolishes the Coal Commission and National Emergency Council, and shifts foreign duties to the State Department. Senator Byrnes supported Plan No. 2 defeating a veto move, giving the president power with congressional veto. The result: little immediate savings or efficiency gain, and fears proved synthetic.
