Reports Reveal How Wage
Cuts Have Gouged Labor
Labor Department and Conference Board Figures Show
More Than Billion Dollar Loss to 1895, ,558 Employees
Covered in Compilation.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Statis-
ticians rejoice to find that while
wages for workers in 1896 plants
were given pay cuts Of 11.1co, sal
aries of big executives Were cut
-49To, thinking salaries got the
worst of it.
But they didn't. Even 1879 slash
from $4,000 salary leaves $500.
The average wage Of the workers is
$1,340, and when THE average cut
Of 11.1qo is taken from that miser-
able beginning it leaves the still more
miserable sum total of $1,192 to suf-
flee for a year!
Results of figures gathered by the
u. S. Labor Department and the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
from 1926 plants, show that the
11.1go cut has been applied to 1,573,-
665 employees, while 825,983 were fir

The lost wages per year of those

SAYS FAMILY
Finances Are Best Run By
Women

Chicago ILNS)-Women are the

Blackburn, research director of

authority on financial management in

Blackburn said studies of varied
home management policies in cross
sections of the 100000 families to
which his company makes loans an
nually show that homes wherein hus-
bands turn pay checks, the bank ac-
count, the buying and payment of
bills over to wives are freer from debt
worries, get into fewer financial
jams" and are comparatively more
prosperous in relation to income.
"The day of man running the fam
lily pocketbook is over" said Black
burn. To-day 100000 housewives
do IS per cent Of consumer buying.
1t is just as important that these
women be equipped with desks, detin-
ite spending plans, and other facili-
ties for conducting family business
management as to have kitchen
ranges. Today's most shut-in wife
makes more business transactions
than the average man of so years
ago."

Social Order Near COLLAPSE

1929, the management of industry
determined upon market t-destroying
and wagecutting policy 1t was moth
ing more than a repetition of the
acts and actions of industrial man
agement which still adheres to the
worn-out economic philosophy that
prosperity could be restored through
the imposition of wage reductions and
the lowering of the living standards
of the masses of the people. They
apparently learned nothing out of the
changed economic conditions which
had taken place as a result of the
mechanization of industry and the de-
velopment of mass production. They
did not seem to realiz that mech
anized industry and mass production
depended for success upon mass con-

RAIL WORKERS
MOURN
Death of Real Friend, Sir
Henry Worth Thornton

New York City (ILNS)-Sir Henry
w. Thornton, friend of the organized
railroad workers and former head of
the Canadian National Railway, died
here following an operation at the
age of 81.
Sir Henry was to have been the
guest of honor at dinner planned
by trade union officials for March 25,
at which William Green, president Of
the American Federation of Labor,
was to have presided. An illuminated
address was to have been presented
to Sir Henry as token of his friend
ship toward organized labor.
Voicing sorrow of railroad work
ers over the death of Sir Henry, A.
F. Whitney, chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association, said:
"The more than 100000 railway
employees in the United States and
Canada were most deeply grieved to
learn that their friend and the friend
of the common people generally, Sir
Henry Worth Thornton, had been
suddenly called from our midst. The
efforts and accomplishments of his
life are an indestructible monument
of service and friendship to society
generally"
Sir Henry, who was born in the
United States, became head of two
of the worlds great railroad systems,
the Great Eastern Railway in Eng
land and the Canadian National Rail-
ways. He was knighted by Great
Britain for his services during the
war On the Great Eastern.

AS Relief Employ

New York City ILNS)-Single
women of the white collar" class
who have been given temporary work
by the Emergency Work and Relief
Bureau, are in despair as a result
of being laid off because of lack of
funds to continue their employment,
William H. Matthews, director of the
bureau, said at meeting here.
Written appeals from this group of
women tell only part of the story of
their plight, Matthews said.
"These women come to make per-
sonal pleas" he said. Zone has only
to glance at their eyes as they sit
outside the office, wait in the hall
ways and on stairs for a word with
those who they think may, if they
can but speak to them, arrange for
a return to work. 1t was one of our
best paymasters who returned to the
office the other day and asked if he
could not be put on a route for few
days where he would not have to see
the look of anxiety and dread that
came into the faces of these women
when they received their last pay en-
velopes. It's more than can stand,
he said"
Mr.. Matthews read number of
pitiful appeals from the women who
had been laid off. One said: To-day
| received the notice that my work
ends next week, and under the pres
ent conditions it seems almost like
a death notice"

CORD, LABOR FOE
Wins Fight to Control Avia.
ton Corporation

New York City (ILNS)-E. L.
Cord, labor-hating manufacturer of
the Cord and Auburn automobiles,
who waged a bitter battle against
union airplane pilots last year, has
won his fight for control Of the Avia-
ton Corporation. AS result Of ad-
ditional purchases of the company's
stock, Cord has taken complete con-
troll and has been elected chairman
of the board of directors. The old
board of directors resigned when ad-
vised tina. Cord had purchased a con-
trolling stock interest.
In the battle for proxies for con-
troll of the board of directors of the
Aviation Corporation last November,
President Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, denounced
Cord as an enemy of labor, declaring
he had shown most antagonistic at
titude toward organized workers in
the industries he dominated.
President Green sided with the old
management and expressed the hope
that Cord would lose. The American
Federation of Labor firmly believes
that if Mr.. Cord secures control and
through such control dominates the
Aviation Corporation, which in turn
owns American Airways, Inc, one of
the largest air transport systems in
the world, it means an attack on la
Dor, which, of course, labor will re-
sist to the utmost" Green said in a
letter to LaMotte T. Cohu, then pres
ident of the Aviation Corporation.
Cord made a bid for public SYM
pathy by charging that the bank
ers were behind the management Of
the Aviation Corporation, and were
seeking to prevent him from obtain
ing control. Labor's answer to this

plants comes to the grand and stag
gering total loss to thes workers of
$1,317,567 ,73O.
If the loss were to be figured on
today's actual wage instead of the
average wage of all u. S. workers
as found by the last census, the
workers in these plants would be
shown to have still less left. For
the Conference Board reports the
present avergae wage in manufactur-
as $16.21 per week, against $28.53 in
1929, drop Of roughly $12 per week
Only hopeful note in the two re-
ports is that wage cuts are slowing
up. There are fewer new ones coming
along. Drastic reduction in number
Of cuts was found in the last six
months. Bosses and bankers cal this
the end of "defation." Another way
to say it is that they have squeezed
out of the workers about all there is.
These figures indicate the extent
to which labor is paying the bill for
the depression. Senate investigation
evidence shows bankers profted by it
and largely were responsible for it
the big bankers of Wall street.
