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."

Murray, a ra(lio conllnentator
and author ,ff many books about
the Pacific Northwest. always
cal)lUres the fhlvor of an environ-
menl even though it may have
I)een dealt with Ixq'ore by other
authors. Such was his early tome
about Seattle, "Skid Road " the
(rely story about early clays in
that city with such an earth3'
realism. Murray's newest book
is called "One Man's Gold
Rush," a Khmdikc album with
lhoh)graphs by Eric A. Hegg.
The story of the Alaska (]old
Rush is nol new, but the Mor-
gan-Hegg version is unusual and
lively.
