yelopment of the Mississippi river
,by control of flood water, increase of
navigability and drainage of lands.
; No estimate of the expenditure in
volved was made in the report, ap
proved by Samuel Gompers, president
of tfie federation, which was prepared
iby a special committee of the lhbor
-organization's legislative committee.
"We feel that while present disloca
tion exists throughout the world with
industry stagnant and unemployment
growing worse, it behooves us to work
out a constructive program," the re
port said, "that will, in addition to
alleviating the existing situation to a
large extent, establish those works
that will ever rebound to the dignity
and progress of our government and
the welfare of our people.’*
The reclamation proposed, the re
port said, would include governmental
assistance to drainage work and clear
ing of logged-off lands, as well as ir
rigation of arid sections. Value of
land reclaimed \along the Mississippi
would pay muon of the cost of the
work, it was estimated, "besides mak
ing Beaports of some of our inland
towns."
