HIGHER PAY, FEWER
STRIKES FORECAST
Defense Drive Colors Work
And Wage Prospects For
Coming Year
BY Cambridge Associates


Labor these days, no more than
any other part of the business and
industrial picture, can be consid-
cred except against the back
ground of the national defense pro-
gram. Labor-part and parcel, if
not the very essence of the defense
effort-Will benefit from the same
influences which will benefit indus
try as whole and will suffer
similar restrictions upon it's pro-
fits and customary freedom of ac-
ton.
Looking into 1941, it is possible
to see some very real gains for
labor in the way of higher hourly
wages in many industries, and
higher weekly wages, the latter to
most Individual workers of more
| Importance. An excessive number
of strikes is not likely in 1941, but
not because of any federal action
barring strikes or instituting COM
pulsory arbitration. Recent years,
however, have matured bargaining
methods in many Industries d
the government possesses power of
focusing public opinion upon h e
offender in any dispute which may
obstruct the defense program.
Average Wage Rise Small
Average wage rates are not des-
tined to increase greatly in 1941.
Certain skills will command pre-
miums, big premiums. For t h e
semi-skilled and the laboring
groups, the pressure of competi-
ton from the reserves of the idle
will preclude ABRUPT wage in
creases.
There is strong support in con-
gress for legislation to halt strikes
in defense industries. The weight
of the administration, and or or
ganized labor itself, of course, is
against such move and unless
there is more direct American par
ticipation in the war there is small
chance of such legislation v n
reaching the floor.
The labor division of the Nation
al Defense Advisory commission,
under Sidney Hillman, has been
remarkably successful in prevent
ing industrial disputes from reach
ing the strike stage. In only two
cases handled by t h e division
have actual stoppages of defense
production occurred and the dura-
ton of these stoppages, by past
standards, was brief.
Dual Unionism Remains
After the election, when John L.
Lewis stepped down from the presi-
dency of the ongress of Industrial
Organizations to carry out his cam
paign promise. there was some ex-
pectation that the breach between
the CIO and American Federation
of Labor might be bridged. That
expectation is not commonly held
now. The same gulf divides the
leaderships of the two national or
ganiZations and the same questions
of precedence and power hold the
bridgeheads. The best that can be
hoped for in 1941 is that an ami
cable working arrangement can be
reached by the industrial and trade
organizations to avert the jurisdic-
