Yet wage cuts must come and are
coming, Schwab admitted; and he
told how his company cut wages.
Wages must be Iiquidated," said
Schwab, This could be accom-
plished by increased labor econ
omy (speed up as well as by de-
creased wages"
In short, the bosses have two
methods of cutting wages and most
of them employ both of them-speed
up and actual cut in money wages.
Schwab said that the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation was cutting wages
by increased labor economy"
His talk about the crisis ending is
the greatest piece of fakery Schwab
has yet put over Ever since the
crisis began this has been the steel
magnate's line. He said there was
no crisis last year Now he says it's
ending The latest reports from
Pittsburgh state that steel plant cap
acity, which a few weeks ago was
81 per cent, has now dropped to 40
per cent and is going lower. Thou
sands of steel workers are being fired.
So much for Schvab's predictions. "
Another leading capitalist to come
out for wage cuts is Hugh Bancroft,
one of the owners of the Wall Street
journal. In a speech in Philadel-
phia on Thursday, Bancroft said:
Important readjustments of wages
and salaries lin short, wage cuts
are inevitable"
Bancroft told the usual story abou
commodity prices having dropped
and the living standard being lower.
