Neio Wages Under LeUeI
Of 1915, Bureau Insists
Analysis Made for Men Holds
Rail Board Erred in Using
Hourly Rates for June Basis

The Labor Bureau, Inc, in an analy-
sis Of railroad wages which was made
public yesterday, says that the railroad
shopmen would be worse of under the
wages set by the Railroad Labor Board
In the decision Of June last than
they were in 1915.
The bureau supports this assertion
By saying that tho purchasiug power
Of shopcraft workers has decreased
since 1915, this being due 10 the in
crease in retail food prices
Made for Strike Committee
The analysis was made by the Bu-
reau for the Central Strike Committee
Of the Shopcrait Union in the Metro
politan District. In making public the
contents Of the survey David Williams,
secretary Of the committee. said:
This report Of the Labor Bureau
gives a mathematical expression Of the
grievances Of the shopcraft workers.
The railroad workers know by bitter
experience that progress is an Illusion
with them; that they are slipping back
a little economically all the time Now
they have this experience in terms Of
figures
The labor Board asserts that GER
tain claims that have been made %
support the contention that the shop
crafts workers have no Just cause for
grievance on the wage question give
an absolute Misrepresentation OF the
real situation"
The report reads in part: "It is
true, as the Labor Board majority
states, that the purchasing power OF
sh0pmen's wages Is higher now than
In 1917. But this Is because IN 1917
the cost Of living had gone up about
35 per cent above 1915, whereas wages
had not risen half that nueh-the in
crcssos ranging from 81 Per cent 20
l7.9 per cent The year 1917 Is tho
worst base that could be chosen from
the point Of view Of the men. and is
by any test an unfair starting point.
The Labor Board majority states
that hourly wage rates have risen
faster since 1915 than has the cost Of
living, and upon this assertion base a
claim that the purchasing power of
sh0pcraft wages has increased during
this period. II Is true that hourly rates
have risen faster than the cost of liv-
ing; but hourly rates are an absolutely
inaccurate measure Of purchasing pow
er. The reason is this. The normal
working week has been shortened 20
sorty-eight hours since 1918, 50 that
the workers do not get as many hours
pay IN a normal week. After All. Il Is
the amount in the pay envelope At the
end Of the week which buys the family
bread. Hourly wage rates do not buy
anything.
Error Charged TO Rail Board

body clothed with as great a response

should have made 20 serious a statis-
teal error.
