LOOKING AHEAD GEORGE S. BENSON President—Harding College Searcy. Arkansas 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.
