WAGES SHOULD GO UP
not DOWN, LAUCK SAYS
Economist Bases Statement
On Cost of Living For
Unskiled Help.

Chicago, May 4.-wages OF unskilled
railroad employees should be adjusted
upward and not downward. IL the cost
of living and the rates of pay in other
industries are to be used as basis in
deciding the railway workers pay, w.
Jett Lauck. consulting economist for
the unions. told the railroad labor board
today.
Mr.. Lauck declared that the figures
presented by the railroads, showing cer-
tain decreases in living costs and indi-
eating that wngcs for unskilled labor in
most Industries were lower than the
pay given railroad workers, were de-
ceiving.
He presented a table OF wages for un-
skilled coal mine workers, building
trades laborers, steel labor. longshore-
men, municipal employees. navy yards
men. arsenal employees and marine
workers. These workers, he said. were
receivingS mort money than unskilled
railroad employees. He particularly
stressed the pay OF steel workers, say
ing the United States Steel corporation
paid common labor so cents an hour.
Cost of living figures based on de-
crcases in wholesale prices should not
be considered by the board he said.
''Such figures are deccivinG," said
Mr.. Lauck. '''for the government figures
show that while there was n so per
cent. decrease in wholesale prices be-
tween June and December. 1920, the re-
tail decrease was only per cent ~
Mr.. Lauck presented figures designed
TO show that bare subsistence for a
family of five in this country costs
81 ,617 a year. that minimum stand
ard would be $1,000 annually and that
a progressive American standard of
living would cost 81 800.
