DISTINCT DANGER

It is bad business" 10 treat
wages as a mere means of giving
all men a certain income. Wages
are not relief, nor payments made
without regard 10 the value OF the
product which. the recipient turns
out.
Wages" have 10 be earned by
production. II the government
fixes a high minimum. 1t must
provide for those who can't earn
that much. This may mean any OF
all of the following; higher prices
subsidies, or abandonment of some
industries; more unemployment
and unemployment relief: numer.
Gus exceptions TO the minimum, tc
provide for those persons unable
TO earn the minimum.
We are now in distinct danger
of fixing a minimum wage so high
that it will frequently become the
maximum In any case, it Will limit
the opportunities for the more ef-
ficient workers, and thus reduce
incentive.

Simple Jack Here

And speaking Of simPle-de-
vices. the best we have seen in
some time is the new jack in
vented by John NJ. Westrake.
2900 Grand, and demonstrated
yesterday in front OF the Fort
Shelby Hotel. This is the an
swer to those motorists who
have had t. struggle with the
deadly rim jack.
Westrake calls his the "Jiffy
Lift" and it's all of that. A
simple little stamping, it can
hold two tons easily and Is
slipped under the brakedrum on
anv wheel. BY pressing the
starter, the car hoists itself up
on the jack and you are ready
TO change a tire with no more
effort than to lift it up. The
jack locks the wheel, so il cam
not slip down while you take
off the tire lugs.
The jack will be manufac-
tured in Algonac and will be
marketed at a low price through
gas stations.
p. S.-Our order is in.

PURPOSE IMPORTANT

This, l think, is the danger now
The purpose of any minimum
wage is important II the purpose
be to do away with all industries
which can not afford 10 pay wages
tabove certain level, on the ground
that they are not worthwhile. il
may be good.
In general. l would say that IL
is fair enough TO aid all those who
are unable to earn decent living,
or TO bargain collectively TO get
their fair share of earnings. And
part of this idea is TO set basic
wage. below which no able-bodied
adult should work.
But if the purpose be merely to
raise wages, either TO disguise
relief" as wages or TO create
purchasing power the minimum
wage idea is vicious. For example,
Mr.. Schwellenbach is on the wrong
track when he bases his argument
for a 65-cent minimum on the
notion that wages in general can
be raised, just to raise the stand
ard of living OF TO cover increased
| costs of living.

Wage Floor
|DdngersCifed
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economies. New York University
In the now vitally important
problem of labor regulation. the
outstanding point at the moment
is the Pepper minimum wage bill
1t proposes to raise the present
minimum wage TO 90 cents an
hour the first year. and then 10
step il up to 20 cents and Is cents
Successively in the next two years
Then by, say. 1949 nobody under
ordinary circumstances would be
allowed to work for less than rs
cents an hour, or Sc for an eight
hour day.
Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach has approved the 65-cent
minimum. Should the nation fol-
low him? Note that il is the judg-
ment of most economists that the
minimum wage idea may be all
right. Some minimum wage sys-
TENS have worked well enough,
Obviously, il does not follow
that any and every minimum wage
that may be proposed is desirable
The minimum may be set so high
and be so rigid. that it will defeat
the purpose and do more harm
than good
