WAGNER DECLARES PAY MUST

Wages Sufficient to Absorb Whole Product of Industry
Vital to National Well Being Senator Says

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Begin
ming its second week, the ffty-thirt
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor here heard Sen
, ator Robert F. Wagner, of New York
endorse labor's hours and wage pro
gram, warmly praise labor's leader

for record of patient heroism al
most unique in the annals of the
world"
Decision on labor policies for the
/ coming year and action on long list
of resolutions before the conventidr
was started with approval of a reso.
luton urging labor to buy from shops
that display the union label in addi-
tion to the Blue Eagle. "The pres
ence of both the NRA insignia and the
union card is proof that the employer
is complying with all the provisions
of the retail code," the resolution said
The convention also adopted a re.
port urging that more states joir

legislation for women.

He continued:
During the four years following

approximately four million to thir-

factory payrolls dropped from "a to

over several million families, injuring
them for lifetime.
"In the face of this disaster,
the worker, who has borne the
greatest burdens, has maintained
his self control and group dis
cipline, preserved his family
ideals, and helped his stricken
comrades. Despite an economic
decline more sweeping than that
which befell Germany, France,
England, Italy or Japan, this
same worker has retained un-
swerving faith in democratic in
stitutions and has risen to par
ticipate equally with all others in
the task of peaceful economic
reconstruction.
"No such record would be possible
without fine leadership President
Green and the other officers of the
federation have been temperate in
council despite intense grief at the
plight of their people, and they are
now contributing tremendously to the
work of the recovery administra-
tion."
Real Battle to Come

"The real battle lies ahead" he

million men and women who are

still walking the streets in an
agonized search for the means of
livelihood. If they are not helped
quickly, our successes will be
washed away in a deluge."
The speaker pointed out that salts
factory adjustment of wages is the
central economic problem of today
and vigorously advocated labor's
program of higher wages and shorter
working periods.
Wages" he asserted, must be paid
in sufficient volume to absorb the full
plant capacities of industry We have
merely scratched the surface of this
problem. Payrools are still 48 pei
cent below the 1926 level They have
Jagged so far behind industrial activ-
ity that production, which rose 65 per
cent from April to August, lost one
third of this gain in the single month
following. As a matter of fact, dur
ing the past 60 days, we have had to
adjust production downward to meet
purchasing power. The proper cure
is to raise wages up to meet produc-
ton This is the way to improve
standards of living and take full ad-
vantage of our unrivaled natural and
technical resources
Wages Must Rise
"There remains also the unsolvec
problem of co-ordinating wages and
prices. Thus far, as have said, there
has been gain of II per cent in the
purchasing power of wages. But re-
tail prices have mounted rapidly, and
wholesale prices have made stupen-
dous jumps, being Sc per cent higher
in August than in March. Increases
in the cost of living must be met by
further increases in the wages with
which goods are bought
in addition, the increased volume
of total wages is due almost entirely
to gains in employment and to rises
in the minimum scales. Aside from
this, there have not been appreciable
changes in rates of pay, and conse-
quently the improvement in stand
ards of living have not been general
and all-inclusive. Due to the rising
prices, there have been actual de-
clines in real wages.
''In view of these facts, it is es-
sential to give constant attention to
wage revision Some of the minimum
scales should be higher, and perhaps
it may be necessary to go further
along the lines of regulating all
wages. Certainly it will be neces-
sary to change all schedules period
ically SO that they may conform to
general economic trends.
For Shorter Hours
Reduction of hours of labor should
continue. An average work week of
less than 40 hours will be necessary
to carry out the policy of absorbing
the idle by spreading work"
Senator Wagner quoted figures to
show that in 1929 labor received too
small a share of the increased pro-
duction of history.
Wage improvements under the
New Deal should not be simply
enough to keep factories going." he
added. wages must be fixed with
reference to a social program which
intends to insure everyone comfort

RECOGNITION of Check OFF.

PITTSBURGH, October 13 lP).-The
bituminous coal region today awaits re-
action of striking miners to conditional
acceptance by captive mine owners
of the "check-off" system of deductlng
union dues from workers pay.
United Mine Workers leaders remain
non -committal as they study the state
ment of operators of non-commercial
mines that they will recognize volun-
tary orders for payment of any portion
of an employees wages for dues to any
organization of which he may be
member"
Observers pointed out that this "qual-
ified check-of" does not fully meet the
unqualified union recognition" de
manded by $4,000 miners when they
walked out more than four weeks ago,
Half of these $4,000 men are still OH
