Profits Outpace Factory Payrolls
Washington June 28 The Associated Press reports that corporate profits dividends and interest payments fared better in the current low mood than labor, shaping the president’s tax the rich program. The NRA directed by Leon Henderson notes three conclusions: corporate holders profited most in the twenties boom and suffered least in the thirties. Factory payrolls rose in 1933 34 but still trail the 1933 35 average for dividends and officer compensation. Profits in 1934 rose more than in 1933 though payrolls lagged.

Washington June 28 Representative Kenney of New Jersey urged creation of a national lottery as a major step in seizing a billion dollars from racketeers and gamblers. A Ways and Means subcommittee will hear his bill Friday with hopes of shaping it for a House vote this session. Some doubt it will pass given past committee hearings on his ideas.
