STRAND

From one of the most talked of best-sellers, 29th Century Fox has produced, with startling realism, the most suspenseful as well as the most daring man-hunt ever calculated to set moviegoers on edge and keep them there from first sharp thrill to last.
 "The Ox-Bow Incident" which opens Q three day engagement today at the Strand Theater, is reputed to be tough entertainment. Walter Van Tilburg Clark's taut novel was unanimously viewed as rare material for the screen. But, owing to the ruthless, merciless nature of the story, studios shied away from 1t.
 For daring to make 1t, 20th Gen. tury Fox has been rewarded with a picture hailed by Damon Runyon as being "in 8 class with "The In- former" Henry Fonda, who is starred, has been called superb in the role of 6 rugged cowhand who defies the wrath of a mob to defend justice. For sheer realism, "The OK Bow Incident" is said to be un- like any film in recent months. The cast includes such stars as Dana Andrews recently seen opposite Ty- rone Power in the technicolor pro- duction of Crash Dive," Mary Beth Hughes, Anthony Quinn and others.
 Don't miss "The OK Bow Incident" starting its engagement today at the Strand Theater - this is the very first showing of the film in Wa terbury, so be sure to attend the premier and at regular prices.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Submarine Base", a story with a thrill-a-minute.

Wages Rising Faster
 Than Living Expenses
National Association of Manufacturers Credits Rise
 to Union Pressure Groups; Gives Explanation

New York, N. r., Sept. l--wages paid by manufacturers continue to risc faster than living costs and the average 92.4 per cent increase in the weekly pay envelope since the war started four years ago, repre- sents q gain of more than A per cent in real wages of factory work CTS, according to a study released today by the National Association of Manufacturers.
 The study, "Wages, Prices and In- 1ation," is reported in the current issue of the Association's publica- ton, Industry's View.
 Pointing out that the main agita- ton for pay boosts comes from or- ganized groups concentrated in manufacturing industries, the study emphasizes the fact that wage fig tireS for factory workers do not tell the story of employees in other lines of work.
 Although nearly IA million per- sons are working in factories, this number represents less than 40 per cent of the persons engaged in non- agricultural pur:uits," the study said. "Wages of several large groups of workers other than manufactur- ing workers have increased only slightly in recent years, and real earnings of these groups have drop ped"
 Explaining that real wages" were wages which have been adjusted to allow for changes in living costs, :" Industry's View commented:
 While price increases have been ignored in published reports. Fail- ure to consider wage increases along with increases in living costs has distorted the truth, has created con- fusion, and has led to erroneous conclusions and to unreasonable de- naands. The purpose of this report is 70 present essential figures from re-" liable sources.
 "An impartial examination of fig- ures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that since August 1939, average weekly wages of workers in manufacturing estab- hshments throughout the country have gone up SPA per cent. Living costs in this period August 1889 to June 1043) have increased less than 27 per cent. Tn other words, the rate of increase in wage5 has been three times as great as the rate of increase in the cost of living.
 Tn the past two years, average weesly earnings of manufacturing employees have increased nearly 64 per cent from $2008 in April l94i 70 $43.35 in June 1943. Only about half of this gain was Gue to over lime payments. While average week. y earnings increased 54 per cent, hours worked per week increased only l16 per cent, the number of nours for these two periods being 100 and 45.2 respectively.
 Real wages of manufacturing wage earners--that is, the wages whIeh have been adjusted k allow tor changes in living costs--increas- d A4.i per cent from August 1899 lo June le43. This situation is Io be contrasted with that during World War l, when, although money wages rose, they did not quite keep pace with rising prices, 90 that real wages declined one per cent from 1914 to 1918.
 Because of goods shortages and rationing, higher money incomes cannot be fully translated into aigher income in real commodities,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-01

even though price levels are kept down. Much of the current high wages constitute simply an addition to the iE1flatiSnary gap"
 A month-hy-lmonth table of aver- age hours worked per week, average hourly earnings, average weekly earnings, cost-of- Living and real weekly earnings from August 1889 to May 1e4S, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, offers con- elusive evidence to the steady gains enjoyed by workers in manufactur- ing industries slVce the outbreak of the world conflict.
 The report summarizes it's con- clusions ae follows:
 "i. Weekly wages of manufactur: ing workers have gone up more than 8l per cent since August 1889. Liv- ing costs in this period August 1889 June lo43) have increased only ? per cent.
 "2. The appearance of a cost-of- living increase of more than 27 per cent arises from the fact that the prices of certain foods have advarc- ed much more sharply than this. These increases, however, have been offset by comparatively small gains in other cost-of- living items, such as rent and utilities, which are over- looked entirely by those who insist that the government figures do not reflect the true rise in living costs.
 8. If there are present wage inc justices, they are to be found in the white collar groups; certainly not among the manufacturing workers.
 "4. Average annual earnings of workers in manufacturing industries are now 70 per cent above the stan dard maintenance level.
 "5. The increase in. income from salaries and wages in 1042 as com- pared with 1889 wa stwice as great as the increase in all other types of income.
 "0. Manufacturers profit express ed as a percentage of gross receipts in l042 was 34 per cent smaller than in 1929 and 24 per cent smaller than 1 nl941.
 v. The supply of goods for con- sumers is beginning to diminish and the effect of shortages will assume increasing importance n the near future.
 "8. Conditions which essentially constitute inflation- larger incomes, scarcity of consumer goods, and a vast increase in money instruments resulting from government borrow ing from commercial banks--are here now, even though price ceil- ings may partially conceal the ex- isting imitation.
 @. Any further increase in sal aries and wages will boost the in- flationary spiral by increasing prices, which in turn will be used as the basis for demanding still larger wage raises"
