Labor Asks Share In Productivity • "More of the gains of rising productivity should be applied to meeting social needs instead of higher corporate profits," the Ma- son County Labor Council said in a statement this week signed by President Darrell Sparks. "The kind el boomtime profits of recent years are questionable, both morally and economically. Noting that the economy is mov- ing steadily at high levels, high profits cannot be justified as a hedge against frequent periods of low profiles or on the grounds of business risks. "The income from increased productivity should also be chan- neled into reduced consumer prmes, better wages, job train- ing, pollution control and other general public advancements. "'Business should be willing to incur n)re of the costs of the new technology that has b(×)sted its productivity, the public in- vestment in education, research and development anti improved health which has made an enorr- nmus contribution to higher pro- ductivity. But there is too oIten a push for special tax induce- nents that can result: in wind- falls to investors for doing things they should be doing as part of their obligation as businessmen. ."More thought and planning should now be directci toward shorter working hours, whether it would be through a reduction in daily hours or a rciuetion of the number of days worked per week. "Assuming that we use our resources fully to meet our needs, then some time in the future we are going It) have to face up to this prohlem."
