ARIZONA MINERS
GET SUBSTANTIAL
BOOST IN WAGES
Company Voluntarily Raises
Pay of Men to Enable Them
to Cope With High Living
Cost Effective from July Is
tsv Hossrse JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrssI


Bi2bee, Ariz., July 22.--Notices will
be posted tomorrow advising work
men at the mines in the Warren dis
trict and at the shelters at Douglas
of an increase in wages from July lG.
Grant H, Dowell, general manager of
the Copper Queen branch of the
Phelps Dodge corporation, announced
here this evening. The former sliding
scale based on the price of copper is
maintained in principle, but on ac-
count of the continued high cost of
living the companies have decided to
pay wages for the latter half of July
based ON a quotation of "a cents a
pound for copper.
The wage scale is based on the price
of copper for the previous month.
While the average for the past three
or four months has been we'll under
Is cents, though the companies have
been paying on the 1S-cent basis, per
pound. and strict observance of the
scale would have given no increase in
July The companies, Mr.. Dowell said
appreciate that living costs have not
declined as expected, and feel that it
is no more than right TO raise wages
now
This will mean an increase under
the sliding scale of 75 cents per day
in most cases, and 60 cents per day in
case OF Mexican employees.
In addition to the increase, if the
quotation of copper goes above PSI
cents, wages will be further increased
in accordance with the sliding scale.
Butte miners last week received AMI
increase of wages, and agreed to al
wage for the coming year of $5.75 peri
day, regardless of the price of copper
But the companies here and att
Jerome, Globe and Miami have con-
cluded to establish differential of!
so cents per day between the minerI
and the mucker, Dowell stated, mott
by paying the mucker less, but the
minor more, Under this arrangement
the mucker will receive the 75-centI
raise, making his daily wage $3.50 forl
the last half of July, and the miner
will receive 81 raise. or 500 per day. |
Other underground men, and mechan- |
les will also receive an increase of 81 |
per day.
All employees paid a monthly salary
will be given an increase of Is per cent
of their base rate.
The recent strength shown in the |
copper market indicates liberal buy
ing and much more rapid liquida-
ton OF existing stocks than was
thought possible few months ago,
said Dowell. He stated the new wage
is by far the highest ever paid miners
in Arizona, or any other copper camp. |
when copper was not selling WE'LL
above 70 cents per pound.
