Still Below 1929

They arc still lower than IN
1929. however, and haven't risen
as fast as labor's earnings. The
facts arc that. after allowing
for cost Of living, the real"
weekly earnings Of industrial
laborers in 1871 averaged 81
per cent over 1920 and 80 per
cent over 1929.
This Is a phenomenal rise. II
Is largely due TO recent gains,
moreover. and has gone on dur
ing wartimes. The average real
weekly earnings" in 194l were
1913 per cent over 1910.
l Will add that my figures in
dicate that while total factory
pay rolls between 1929 and 1871
rose IS per cent. the total value
Of industrial production in
creased only about is per cent.

The automotive spring division,

dicted that this division in 1912

Net profit in 1871 was S7S2 III,

Cadillac Makes Gains

showed the greatest percentage
of gain in 1871 new passenger
car registrations over the previ-
Gus year. according 70 the publi-
cation Automotive and Aviation
Industries. Cadillac. VIII c h

1910, totaled 6O.242 new car
registrations. an advance Of IS

Nash. proftlng by introduce
tion of the new lower priced
Ambassador 500 series, showed
gain of AZ per cent. with
1871 registrations totaling II S24
units. Greater demand for fluid
drive helped Chrysler's 43 per
cent increase. with 1871 regis
trations totaling l43.025 units.
Chevrolet again topped new
passenger car registrations with
1903 units. while Ford was
second with 602.013, Plymouth
third with 452.lS and Buick
fourth with 308.6l5. The Big

tions as in 1910 in relation 10

Light on Gains

In order 10 throw some light
on the gains already achieved
by labor. / have looked into some
of the figures which show their
earnings. II seemed possible
that these would show enough
for the present. and that we
might feel that freezing" labor
conditions and wages for the
duration of the war would work
little hardship.
First, the present may be COM
pared other peak periods
in labor history. OF course, en-
ployment now compares favor
ably with other periods Of
prosperity. But how about wage
rates and earnings
Taking Is industries as a
sample. l find first that the total
pay rolls paid 10 labor in 194l
were 33 per cent greater than
in 1920 and 80 per cent above
the 1929 total. These figures are
confirmed by the bureau of
labor statistics which estimates
for all manufacturing industries
a rise in pay rolls between 1929
and l94l amounting 10 over SO
per cent.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-02-27
Hourly Pay Up

Part Of this increase above
The highest preceding peaks is
due TO increased hourly rates of
pay Most emphatically. il is
Tot due TO longer hours or harder
work.. The hourly earnings last
year in the 25 industries were
h34 cents. This is "a per cent
over 1920 and SO per cent over
the 1929 boom.
incidentally. this was an in
crease of 10 per cent over 1910.
II was chiefly due to increased
basic rates of pay, not to over
time rates.
When you allow for time
worked per week. the average
weekly earnings in l94l show a
high for all time, being 1882.
This is ii per cent over 1920,
and nearly Is per cent over 1929.
Now you ask. what about
living costs? Well, these have
risen recently.
