.UNSKILLED RAIL HELP
NEEDS WAGE BOOST
LABOR BOARD HEARS
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, May Wages of un-
skilled employees should be adjusted
upward and not downward, If the cost
Of living and the rates Of pay in other
industries are to be used as a basis
in deciding the railway workers pay,
w. Jett Lauck. consulting economist
for the unions, told the railroad labor
board today at the hearing into the
carriers demand for lower wages.
Mr.. Lauck declared that the figures
presented by the railroads, showing
certain decreases in living costs and
indicating that wages for unskflled
labor in most industries were lower
than the pay given railroad workers,
were deceiving.
He presented table Of wages for
unskilled coal mine workers, building
trades laborers, steel laborers, long
shoremen, municipal employees, navy
yardsmen, arsenal employees and mar
Inc workers. These workers, he said,
were receiving more money than un-
skilled railroad employees. He par
tlcularly stressed the pay of steel
workers, saying the United States
Steel Corporation paid common labor
so cents an hour.
Says Figures Deceivina.
Cost of living figures, based on de-
creases in wholesale prices should
not be considered by the board, he
said.
Such figures are deceiving," said
Mr. Lauck, "for the government fig
ures show that while there was a 80
per cent. decrease in wholesale prices
between juno and December, 1890, the
retail decrease was only seven per
cent.
THE railroads partly base their
plea for lower wages on the decrease
in living costs and the rates of pay in
other industries whereas these factors
indicate that wages of railroad labor
should be adjusted upward and not
downward"
Mr.. Lauck presented figures de-
signed to show that bare subsistence
for family of five in this country cos,
$1.617 year, that minimum com
fort standard" would be $4,000 annual
ly, and that a progressive American
standard of living" would cost $4,000
