Miscellaneous occupations ........... 100000
TotoI OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. So 10000
This indicates the addition Of some 1000 900 to
the armed forces which with 100000 new indus
trial employees would call for finding 100000
men and women during the next twelve month.
Competent economists roise the question whether
these figures not exaggerated. Among others is
B A. W. ZeIomek of the international Statistical Bu-
reou, writing in the conservative and usually informed
Bulletin of the National Association Of Purchasing
Agents.
/. Using slightly earlier and less oorring figure Of
100000 as the 1913 ndushoI requirement, Mr..
Zelomek discusses two angles which give weight to
bis doubts.
4t The enormous concentration Of shipping required
for the North African invasion, he says, emphasizes
the problem Of utilizing huge armed forces in eIoboI
combat. Likewise the reshuffIne Of the pro-
grom to increase emphasis ships and orcroft in
deotes how far we ore from solving oversees trons-
portotion problems.
On this bosis he wonders whether shall be
obIe to move men overseas next year at pace thot
will warrant adding a. 900 900 men to the armed fore
es, bringing their total up to almost 100000.
As for industry, Mr. ZeIomek points out thot ex-
ponsion in armament production-ond that is the
only place where expansion is onticpoted-hos to de-
pend upon available steel and other metals.
With the raw materials available, he questions
whether we shoII be able to use than 1000 900
additional foetory workers before the end Of l943.
D If he is correct, then by stepping the work doy
up to 48 hours transferring workers from non-essen
tio to essential work. reducing obsenteesm and sim

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY PETER EDISON

Who can get an increase in
wages under the governments
wartime wage sterilization pol
icy?
The answer Is contained in the
War Labor Boards General Or
der No. S, setting forth the
classes of individual employees
whose wages may be raised
without approval and even with
out appeal to WLB. Such in
creases can be made automati-
cally by the employer if they
follow a fixed wage agreement
policy, such as union labor
contract ar a company CUSTOM
airy practse established prior to
Oct. 3, 1912. The one important
restriction on all such automatic
increases is that they must not
be used by the employer as the
basis for a request that the price
ceiling be raised on the goods
he manufactures or the services
he performs.
In general there are five types
of employees who may be given
these automatic increases with
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-01-02
out government approval:
1. Individual promotions OF


reclassifications. II you are pro-
noted or transferred from q job
at $35 a week to one customar-
lily paying $45, you're entitled
to the $45. II you have been q
accent an hour messenger boy
or file clerk and you are pro-
NOTED to stenographic work
which has customarily been paid
for at the rate of so cents an
hour, the boss can give you the
extra dime without asking the
government.
2. Individual merit increases
within established rate ranges.
Surprising you are hired to sell
groceries at the going rate of $16
a week. But by diligent applica-
ton, at the end of six months or
a year, you have proved SO ham
dy and you have such a win
ming smile that the customers
start asking to be waited on by
you. You're good. The boss
wants to reward you and raise
your pay to $40. He can do it
provided he has other clerks in
the store doing the same work
you're doing and getting $40 or
more - clerks who began at
Sl8 just as you did.
3. Operation of an establish
ed plan of wage increases based
on length of service. Suppose the
Big Store has a customary, fixed
h e du e of pay. Beginners,
SIT so a week, raised to $40 aft
er one years service, $3.50 aft
er two years, $25 after three
years, $50 after four years, $35
after five years. Those custom
airy length-of- service raises can
still be made, even though there
is no written agreement.
PIECE-WORK PAY
4. Increased productivity I'M
der piece work or incentive
plan. You work in a gimmick
factory. It's piece-work shop.
The established rate for making
gimmicks is 10 cents a dozen. 1t
has always taken you about
minute to make a gimmick, SO
you have been averaging so
cents an hour or 81 a day. But
along comes the war. The de-
mand for gimmicks is terrific.
You get all patriotic and start
working as you never worked
before. First thing you know,
you're turning out a gimmick
in As seconds. That makes you
80 cents an hour, or $6.40 a day.
You're entitled to it and no Of
fetal permission from the gov
eminent is necessary.
5. Operation of an apprentice
or training system. Any place
there is an established system
whereby beginners come into q
shop to learn trade at be-
ginners wage, then graduate to
a journeyman's wage scale when
the apprenticeship is over, can
60 right on with the business as
usual.
Now It might seem that there
are a number of loopholes in
this regulation which would per-
NIT lot of chiseling on the part
of employers who want to hold
their labor forces together by
paying better wages. But the
catch is that every increase
granted under this order must
be in accordance with establish
ed custom for that particular
employer. 1t is a custom that
must have been in effect on Oct.
3, 1912, for wages, and Oct. q.
1912, for salaries under $4,000
a year.

DR.. Walker related that he came
back from the convention with far
greater respect for Rotary and the
type of man who composes the Or

there, he said, was the business man.
