A Fanner Looks i At Factories

MONTREAL, Oct. 30 — Unit!!! l- reconcili-aticn is affected between farm and factory prices, tens of thousands of our farms may be liquidated, according to Mr. John Atkins of Bracebridge, Ontario, who spoke at the 28rd annual meeting

of the Canadian Woollen and Knit ‘Goods Manufacturers Association i here todray. In an address entitled | "A Farmer Looks at Factories" Mr. iAtklns pointed to the increasing nilvergence between the return a , farmer receives and the wages paid lat the present time to factory V workers. The only way equity could .be restored, he said, was by un- iprecedented production in indus- _'try which would lower costs and l prices. Failing this he believed that |Canada would have to undergo

“the surgery of depression".

Many clty people lacked under- standing of the farmer's lite. pro- ‘blems and work the speaker felt. With greater understanding he be- lieved there would be greater will- ingness to bring about adjustments giving the farmer a return in line 'with his investment and labour,

He outlined the long hours of hard work on a farm-starting with chores at 5.30 a.m._ and pictured g, tired farm fiamlly reading in their ‘evening newspapers of the high pay and shorter hours demanded by factory workers.

Farm people, declared Mr. At- kins, were more concerned than resentful; more anxious to [ind a practicable way out than to in- dulge in bitter comparisons. They wanted a fair deal, not one weight- ed unduly in their favour, but one which wc-uld restore equity in the exchange of farm and factory labour.

"We farm people" the spmker said, "want from you an assured and adequate supply of garments and comforts which are essential to our work and well-being. We want them at prices consistent with our own earnings from our products which must be sold c-n both tlomestl-n and world markets The reconciliation of our prices with yours, at levels which will maintain the maximum exchange of labour between us, involves all the considerations of national and international policy.”

In the end the speaker pointed out. unbalanced prices would work to tho disadvantage of all. The farmer he said was compelled to conform closely to the principles underlying economic health and national well-being whereas indus- trial workers could depart rem» porarily from such principles. "But wo all suffer when you stray into error" he emphasized.

According to Mr. Aitkens the beslc problem was that on one hand there was the farmer receiv- ing not more than 33 cents an hour for a 60 hour week, Whllg on the other, the industrial worker was receiving twice as much per hour and working only forty o-r forty-four hours o wee-k. He claimed that as a result of this situation Canadian agriculture was facing a period of downward adjustment. while Can- adian industry, with costs mounting and production dropping, had to get more for its products. The inevit- able outcome,‘ unless equity was re- uorod, would he inﬂation followed by a cataclysmic slump, Mr. At- kins declared.

He felt that ﬂsctorles should have pegged their wages and prices nl the end of the war and that increased costs should have been met by greater production on the basis of the 48-hour week without i-ncreasee in weekly pay. He con- demned the fiction that a. short work week would contribute to grceter prosperity by spreading

employment.

"Few Canadians realise” he said, "that a reduction in tho rvork week from 48 to 40 hours means a loss of more than two months in pro auction in industries and business- es which are on one-shift openat-

I ion. The hard working. thrifty |people of Canada. who work long hours, have been compelled to sur- frender their rights and an in- creasing pert of their eerninss to relatively high-paid, short-hour people who have forced uneconomic costs and prices upon everyone in the pretence. and sometimes in the belief, that they were sharlns employment."

When a farmer looked at the factories, he concluded, h; looked to them for the manufactured

l goods he needed produced by people I who were willing to exchanle their labour with him on a basis which would lower his costs and incﬂlll

their own real win-gee. l
