Uphold Wages
Everybody who is willing and able
to work is working harder these
days; moving faster during regular
hours and putting in overtime. Pres¬
sure of war, shortage of workers
and prevailing high wages are the
cause. A larger personal income,
beneficial to all classes, is one of the
direct results. We would all like to
carry this feature over into the post¬
war years.
Philip Murray of the CIO had the
right idea when he went to Presi¬
dent Truman a few weeks ago and
asked for a 20% increase in basic
wage rates. Average wages in the
United States at that time were $1.04
an hour. This may seem high enough
but it can’t last. As soon as the war
is over, labor’s income will decline
some, in spite of everything that can
be done about it.
Losses to Labor.
Bonuses will disappear when the
pressure of government contracts is
removed. Working weeks will be
shorter. Overtime will shrink to the
vanishing point. Besides, high-wage
munition factories will close down
and their employees will take work
where wages are lower, some on
farms. If the basic wage scale is
not higher when war ends, labor’s in¬
come will suffer too much.
Farmers have hard times when fac¬
tory workers do. The wage earner’s
dinner table is the farmer’s market,
so nobody is more interested in high
wages in factories than the farm¬
ers themselves. Agriculture and la¬
bor, both big segments of Ameri¬
cans, are right behind Mr. Murray
for good wages immediately after
the war because prosperity for many
years will depend on it.
Bug in the Lotion
The only disappointing detail in
connection with the CIO’s campaign
for post-war prosperity is this: Mr.
Murray’s first move was an effort
to make high wages legal rather
than to make them possible. Law¬
givers have been trying for centu¬
ries to make people pay what they
didn’t have. It can’t be done. It
makes no difference what the wage
scale is if the employer can’t meet
it.
A high basic wage scale recorded
upon the ponderous pages of federal
statute books will not buy milk for
any working man’s baby. Folding
money in the pay-envelope, howev¬
er, will do the trick. Any employ¬
er will put cash in his workers hands,
in steadily increasing quantities, so
long as he can still show a profit on
the products that his organization
ships out from his factory.
Congress Has Key
There is a happy solution to this
wage problem. If plant owners can
be enabled to install new, modern
equipment as needed, factory output
per man-hour will increase steadily.
This justifies better wages without
raising prices and this is the com¬
bination that makes quick markets
and prosperity. Problem: Will Con¬
gress let industry buy new machin¬
ery?
Still in force in America are our
war-time tax laws, taking over 90%
of corporation earnings. They make
profits in business thin and uninter¬
esting to investors; increased pro¬
duction next to impossible. Congress
holds the key. Plenty of good jobs
,at good pay can develop after the
war if new tax laws are prepared
now and announced now to take ef¬
fect the day Japan surrenders.
