City Pay Called High
Research Bureau Moves to Spike Salary Boost
Charges Detroit Aides OUerpaid ~ Pet.

In a move to spike the current
drive for municipal pay raises
the Detroit Bureau Of Govern
mental Research today released
a survey of living costs purporting
TO show that city employees have
been overpaid "a per cent during
the past decade.
The bureau took the case Of a
typical 81. 200 year stenographer
or senior typist and traced her
pay each year since 1929 and com.
pared this with the federal cost
of living index TO determine heI
real income.
During the peiOd, this en-
plOye received in money wages
an average of $1,000, but the
average purchasing power of
this salary was 1853 a year, a
difference of about $500 a year."
the bureau stated.
'Tn fact. during the entire de-
preston. city employees, as indi-
Gated by this example, always
received, in purchasing power,
an excess salary over the base
pay.
ITO this extent city employees
were not asked to bear any part
Of the economy forced by the
depression"
Taking the 1929 level of prices
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-27

as a base OF 100, the bureau finds
that the present cost of living is
81 so that the average s.. DO en-
ploye of 1929 is now receiving the
same cash pay but it receiving
real wages of s.. 744.
In addition 10 having a guar
antee Of steady work throughout
the depression the city employee
at no time suffered a decrease in
real wages" although the cash
pay Of the average 1920 employee
sunk to S17Z4 during the fiscal
yeas 1854.
A salary plan being used in St.
Paul makes yearly adjustment
of the pay to bring it in line with

AS for myself, I am not now and
never have been member OF any

man Dies said that he would make
public the names of four such groups
of which I have been a member.
He has not done so yet, and ! chal-
lenge him again to do so.
Aides Already Investigated.
AS for the 900 employees of the
Office of Price Administration, the
record of each and every one must
be fully investigated by the proper
Government investigative agencies
when they are employed. Those
mentioned by Representative Dies
are, of course. included in this pro-
cedure, which was established i'm

up by the President in May of 1910.
