week higher for every man, woman
and child at work than the apparent
wage at the present time.
The trend has been upward since
the latter part Of the last year The
National Industrial Conference Board
announced three months ago that
"the upward trend of wages in wide
ranges of industries Is more pro-
nounced this month (March) than
during the preceding months" Since
then the trend appears to have been
accelerated. During the three months
ending March 15, the council an
nounced. there were 1O2 instances of
wage increases and only two in
stances Of reductions.
Fluctuations In Wages.
During May, the bureau of labor
statistics announces, the number of
workers at s.075 representative es-
tablishments jumped nearly 1000,
while wages increased during q sin
gle week about $2,4o0.00o. In some
Of the seasonal occupations. notably
women's clothing. millinery and lace
goods and fertilizers. the pay rolls
slumped below the April totals, but
in other cases, notably in such in
dustries as carpetmaking. cotton
goods. electrical machinery, hard
ware, meat packing, silk manufac-
ture and iron and steel, wages in
creased from to 13 per cent
The net result of the changes
among these 6.075 establishments
was an increased pay roll of about
3.S per cent in average weekly earn
ings over April figures. For rail-
roads. figured separately, the In
crease in pay rolls between February
Id and March Is, latest availa BILE
data, was about IL per cent. In the
case of the coal industry wages have
not debated a hairs breadth from the
1920 volume, the 100000 or more en-
ployes receiving today the same
rates Of pay as they did three. years
ago. or the highest ever known.
Per Capita Wage Increases.
Widespread prosperity appears to
have had a kindly effect upon the
individual wage earner's income. Ac-
cording to the Department of Labor,
the per capita wage increases in
some OF the leading industries in May
over April were as follows:
Fertilizers, III per cent; wooden
goods. 1919 per cent; iron and steel.
10.s per cent; steel shipbuilding, 1912
per cent; carpet manufacture, 81 per
cent: hardware, 10 per cent. and
twenty-five other industries ranging
from per cent down to one-half
of 1 per cent
Twenty-eight of the forty-sever
industries reported all factories and
mills going at full speed and many
on overtime. The other nineteen In
dustries were operating at nearly ca
pacity, with the exception of the
ss-making industry, which report
ed seventy-seven factories working
on full time out of total of eighty.
