Better Equipment
Makes Better Wages
j(By George Peck)
Justification for the existence of
industry lies in the fact that it
makes capital and management,
available to workers, thereby ena
bling workers to enlarge their con
tribution to our national income
and their, own earnings as well.
Let’s use a very simple example
byway of illustration. A man wit h
out any tools is given an excavation
job. He is pretty helpless and his
accomplishment is small over the
course of the day, the week, or the
year. His performance would be
greatly enlarged if a hand-shovpl'
Wvere made available to him. If,
also, he were able to equip himseli
with a wheel-barrow to carry dirt
from one point to another, hi e
would be - further increased. If
were to loan him a steam
shovel and teach him how to op
erate it, obviously his productive
labor would-be multiplied manifold.
Working without tools, this man’s
work would have a very low market
value. Eampped with a steam
shovel, 'on the other hand, his in
come would be increased many
times. It is true, in the latter case,
that the man would have certain
expenses. He would have to pay
for instruction on how to run the
machine and rental for the use of
it. But. he would have an enor
mously increased gross income out
of which to meet these expenses,
leaving him* a much larger net in
come.
This man would have very little
expense for rental of a hand shovel,
slightly increased if he rented a
wheel barrow, and largely augment
ed if he rejjted a steam shovel. Is
it not reasonable that the income
to the man who rented out the
steam shovel to this worker should
be larger than that to the man who
tion to the national income if he
not true that the worker wouh
rented him a hand shovel? Is- it
»uses a steam shovel instead of a
be able to make a greater contribu
hand shovel? Is it not also a fad
that the total income for all con
cerned would be greater if he uses,
a steam shovel? Wouldn’t it nat-i
urally follow that the worker would
greatly increase his own
earnings‘because he wbuld be par
ticipating in the division of a far
larger income, of which his portion
would be far greater than his in
come would have been from his ef
forts with fewer or no tools?
This simple illustration of the
man with the shovel exemplifies
what takes place in organized in
dustry. Industrial companies make
~ capital available in the form of
plant and machinery to their work
ers, plus instruction on utilization,
of that eqipment. The better the!
machinery an industry makes avail- -
table to its employes, the greater!
are the gross earnings, resulting in
greater facilities to insure the s-T
--ty, health and comfort of the work
ers; greater wages for the employ
ees and quite reasonably a larger
profit per employee for the com
pany. Both capital and labor ben
efit thereby. !
Conversely, the poorer and less
efficient the plant facilities made
’ available 'to' workers, the lower are
the gross earnings, resulting in
fewer facilities to insure the safe
ty, health and comfort of the em
ployees; smaller wages for the
worker and a smaller profit per
employee for the company. Both
capital and labor lose thereby.
This seems to be the answer to
certain individuals who recently
have condemned certain industrial!
companies by relating their sup
posedly large earnings per employe.
They fail to tell the while story
which especially •in tl?ese . trying
times is unfortunate, as it is not in
the interest of the . American peo
ple as p. whole, or or labor in par
ticular to engender class '< "hatred. [
All of these faefes ’Clearly, indicate
that capital is taking; advantage
of labor and t^t^wliere companies
are earning ‘profits per j
,employee, the be 4 g
paid higher wages fHah is-the case
in industries which are earning
high net profiteer,.employee. Bet
ter equipment 'mate- better
wages. '

State Employment
Compensation
Employers and workers covered
by the State Unemployment Com-
I pensation Law should familiariize
‘ themselves as quickly as possible
[ with the new procedures for the
; payment of partial unemployment
benefits, Commissioner of Labor
Ben T. Huiet said today.
The new pprocedures. recently
. adopted by the Bureau of Unem
’ ployment Compensation, are sim
i pier and will prove more effective
' than the old method. In addition.
[
. they are expected to insure proper
payment of partial benefits and to
: prevent unwarranted payments, he
stated.
Commissioner Huiet expressed the
I belief that many employees entitled
' to partial unemployment benefits
' have not received them. The main
problem, he said, has been that
’' both employers and workers have
I not had a clear idea of what partial
‘ unemployment is, and under what
' circumstances benefits are payable j
1 for this type of unemployment un
' der the fctate Unemployment Com
; i pensation Law.
' A worker, he explained, is consid-!
! ered partially unemployed when he|
’ continues to work for his regular
but suffers a loss of earn-
! ings because of reduction in his
working hours below normal full-
' time, ifo be more specific, a man
' does_not have to lose his job to
claim partial benefits. The employ-
: er-empliyee relationship is main
tained, but the employee does not
. work full time. 'Hiwever. he must
’j be available for full time work if his
H employer needs him.
j Commissioner Huiet pointed out
! that partial benefits are pavable.
' only where the worker’s reduced'
’ t earnings are due to lack of work on
. bis regular job. They are not in-|
tended to compensate workers who, j
‘ for personal reasons, choose to work!
less than full time.
Full cooperation between employ- j
ers, employees and the local State
employment office is necessary in '
' order that the new procedures can
' be carried out officially and with
‘ the least amount of work for all
1 concerned, he declared.

Selective Service
Men who have served in the Act
ive National Guard are required to
[ register immediately upon expira
tion of their service, even though
j they are not, under certain condi
j tions. liable for further peaceVme

That fact was stressed today by
t Brig. Gen. Sion B. Hawkins, direct
j or of Selective Service for Georgia,
i who said that all such men should
present themselves to a local board
or registration immediately upon
their discharge.
"The act is specific,” said Director

bers of the active National Guard
on October 16 last, and who have
completed six or more consecutive
years, are relieved from liabil.ty for
peacetime service and training, but
•■hey must register. These who
were members of the National
I Guard and have served less than
j six years are relieved neither from
registration nor training.”
Director Hawkins said that his
i attention had been called to the
! fact that some men in the National
! Guard, in federal service who have
I i-cf'r dis'-harged because of expira
tion of their service have not regis
tered They should do so immedi
ately, he declared, and added that
the War Department has now is
sued instructions that such men
shall be notified by their organiza
tion commanders at the time of
their discharge of the necessity to
register.
