BENSON Preside*/--Harding Collett Searcy. Ariaasas Wage Wisdom Wages rose and prices fell dur¬ ing the ten years just before World War II when working men were able, through collective bargaining, to influence the operations of pri¬ vate enterprise without political in¬ terference. Workers earned rffire dollars per working day and each dollar took on more buying power as time went on. It was a two-way improvement. “The actual buying power of one hour’s work (straight time) rose at the rate of more than 4% each year, or over 40% for the entire ten-year period,” says Labor’s Monthly Sur¬ vey, issued in May by the American Federation of Labor. “This was possible because production per man-hour increased steadily, creat¬ ing the wealth to pay higher wages.” War Changed Things So long as men, money and ma¬ chinery were busy making things to eat, wear and use for better liv¬ ing, it turned out as planned; bet¬ ter living resulted. Eut when capi¬ tal, labor and tools, by necessity, had to swing into the manufacture of munitions and instruments of de¬ struction, better living ceased. ; Wages increased, to be sure. So did profits. But what could we buy?' Once more let the AFL survey answer: “Every hard-won nickel of wage gain was offset by a price rise which cancelled it and the workers’ . actual buying power per hour of [work, as did measured increase by real at wage all.” not These statements are supported by government figures made available through the department of Labor. Moreover the AFL analyst’s logic perfectly sound. Holding Prices Down The labor bulletin contained no carping criticism of government, nor against the artificial restraints set up to keep a fictitious economy from getting out of control. On the other hand it says plainly that under wholesome business condi¬ tions "wage increases are paid for by rising productivity,” Thus with mass production and volume sales “the wage rises are all clear gain.” “Our first task Is to Increase pro¬ duction of consumer goods so that supply will be enough to meet de¬ mand, and competition again will keep prices down, so that increas¬ ing productivity will create the in¬ come to pay further wage in¬ creases.” Anything I might say about that doctrine would be simply gilding the lily. It Is the plain truth and a credit to any philosophy. Cut Restraints At the present, conditions are far from wholesome. The government’s new artificial wage controls, born of political expedience, create high¬ er wages with one hand and snatch them away with the other in the form of higher prices. In a gov¬ ernment-fouled economy, it is small wonder that farmers and business men alike line up for help at the door of Uncle Sam’s “flx-it” depart¬ ment. The Office of Price Administra¬ tion is getting as much criticism as it deserves now perhaps. My com¬ ments are brief: Private enterprise needs freedom if it is to operate by the law of supply and demand, and in some fields, supply will meet de¬ mand much sooner If regulations are lifted. The O.P.A. has done some good work and well deserves a dig¬ nified funeral, soon. Pure Drug's— Drug Sundries EVERYTHING YOU NEED Your Prescriptions Are Carefully Filled at Reason- Prices.
