We have modern machinery that has increased production a hundredfold. Our hours of labor are going down until the boys and girls of our country can be given the opportunity to work in industry. During the last 15 yeais. with the immigration laws as strict as they have been and with 9 years of depression. there have been imported into this country one and a quarter million mechanics. and this in face of the fact that we have 300.000 boys. the flower of our youth. in the forests. I am appealing to you to give these boys who are in the forests a chance to learn a trade. Let us pass legislation which provides that these industries doing Government work may employ people only 40 hours a week except in time of war or in time of emergency or disaster.
