Fancy and Staple Groceries Fresh Fruits and Vegetables A. T. COOK CASH GROCERY SUCCESSOR TO R. C. LIEB £*\LOOKING JO AHEAP GEORGE S. BENSON President—Harding College 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 Prasi 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 SI.O-3 an hour. This may seem high enough but it can’t last. As soon as the wai 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 j 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 higt 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 aftei the war because prosperity for many years will depend on it. Bug in the Lotion The only disappointing detail ir connection with the ClO's campaigr for post-war prosperity is this: Mr. Murray’s first move was an effort to make high wages legal rathei than to make them possible. Law givers have been trying for centu ries to make people pay what they i 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 j statute books will not buy milk foi ; any working man’s baby. Folding j 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. t. 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. your own Church and your own— j friends, you will find a friendly wel j come by going to the church of you™ j denomination in ou.r town.
