Heavy Burden

No matter how the situation is
handled, near-term burdens on
individual taxpayers are certain
to rise sharply. The immediate
need is for a recasting Of the
budgets of 100000 American
families in order TO make room
for added tax payments. Swank,
luxury, waste and even some es-
sentials may have TO be dropped
from family budgets during the

Labor S Gains
Far 0utstrip
Cost Of Living
ny LEWIS HANEY

Professor af Economics, N. Y. Universit,
Have wages kept pace with
commodity prices? Is the price
of labor Inflated" These are
questions about which differ
ences of opinion are being ex-
pressed.
Before attempting 10 answer
these questions it is necessary
To decide what is to b, meant by
wages" The term can mean
wage rates per hour or day. 1t
can mean the none" income
earned by labor per week or
year. II can mean real wages"
or the goods bought with labor's
money income.
Probably the money income
idea is the one most prevalent.
IL may be measured either as
average weekly earnings" re-
celved by labor, or as total pay
rolls. Then, if approximately the
same standings of living be as
sumed, the weekly earnings and
pay roll figures may be COM
pared with commodity prices to
get some idea of the relative
gains of labor.
A year ago. the average weekly
earnings of New York State fac
tory laborers were S27.42. Now
they ar S31.55, a gair of Is per
cent. This is new high record.
1t was chiefly due TO a large
number OF wage increases. In
the same period. New York fac
tory pay rolls rose ~ per cent.
and the average for the nation
rose 3S per cent, the gains in
pay rolls being much greater
than in numbers employed
