HARVESTER COMPANY WAGE
INCREASES SINCE 1902

During the recent labor disturbances
which spread from various manufac-
turing establishments all over the
country to the Chicago works of the
International Harvester company,
some interesting information was
brought out concerning wage increases
during the last fourteen years. At the
very beginning of the disturbance in
the Harvester plants, the management
ordered a careful investigation of the
wage increases to its employees since
1902. the year the company was organ
lied. In order that this investigation
might be fair, accurate. and impartial,
the company went outside and en-
gagged a firm of certified public ac-
cOuntants to make a detailed examina-
tion Of the pay rolls from the year OF
the company's organization down to
the present.
Without waiting for this report. the
company proceeded at once to offer its |
employees in the Mccormick and |
Deering works a new schedule, in |
creasing the minimum rate to rs cents |
an hour and granting a new rate which |
was equivalent to a wage increase Of
IL 1-9 per cent. This new schedule
was applied to all employment, piece
work or time
Examination Of the pay rolls by the
certified accountants showed that the
wages, even before the recent In
crease, were much higher than those
in effect when the company was or
ganized. The following certified re-
port was made as to the Mccormick
and Deering works:
CERTIFICATE
We have made an investigation
Of the pay roll situation at the
Deering and Mccormick Harves-
ter works Of the international Har-
vester company Of New Jersey,
and
WE HEREBY CERTIFY, That
the average hourly rate Of wages
of employees of these works Tex
elusive Of superintendents and
general foremen) during April,
1916, shows an increase Of 50.34
per cent over the average hourly
rate for the manufacturing season
OF 1902.
(signeO HAsKINS & SELLS,
Certified Public Accountants
This report shows an increase Of
more than One-half in the hourly rate
Of wages from 1902 down to April. 1916.
When to that is added the increase
granted in the new schedule effective
May 1st, it makes the actual total in
crease Of the hourly wage rate from
1902 to the present time 67.OS per cent
more than tWo-thirds.
