Washington, D. Glow employers
can afford to pay higher wage rates
without increasing prices is explained
in the following excerpts from AFL
President Green's petition to Presi-
dent Truman:
In the 21 months from January 1943
to September 1944-the height of our
munitions production program-pro-
duction per manhour in munition in
dustries rose AZ percent--a gain of
more than 2 percent each month. Yet
during this period workers wages
were frozen. They received no general
wage rate increase to compensate
them for this enormous increase in
productivity.
This enormous productivity increase
gave employers ability to pay CORE
spending wage increases. But since
wage increases were not paid, the re-
suit was an enormous increase in pro-

"Whenever existing low wages cause
manpower bottlenecks as for textiles,

sary wage increases should be negoti-
ated and submitted to the National
War Labor Board for approval and
recommendation for price adjustment

the major reasons for manpower

detrimental to an expanding economy.

In discussing the problems of re-

Pressure of buying power is in
proportion to continuity of current in

as we'll as the level of current earn

''In the last analysis wage rates are
the prime factor in determining the
level of national income.
"That task of providing employment
for all workers in the United States,
seeking an opportunity to earn liv-
ing, is one of the greatest our country
faces after the war. Full employment
is impossible unless consumers have
enough buying power to create mar
ket for the goods and services our in

depends more heavily on workers buy

group, for workers buy rs percent of
all consumer products. May l repeat
the wage rate is the key to workers
incomes. Our estimates based on U. S.

that workers buying at present wage
levels will fall short by $13 billion of
the amount needed to create an ade-
quate consumer market"

To state these facts another way,
the percent earned on net work was
9.8 percent in 1936-39; 23.5 percent in
1941; and 26.7 percent in 1914.
These figures show the kind of pro-
gress that has always characterized
American industry and has in the
past given us the highest wages and
living standards in the world. Produc-
tivity in the past has made it possible
for industry to raise wages and re-
duce prices at the same time, and still
make adequate profits. From 1929 to
1910, for instance, average hourly
wages of factory workers rose 13
percent, but their productivity in
creased so much that wholesale prices
of the products they made actually
declined IA percent. These figures
prove that there is no truth in the
myth that wage increases must cause
price increases.

Washington, D. C.-President Tru-
man promised prompt consideration of
AFL President William Green's re-
quest for immediate increases in wage
rates to make up for loss Of overtime
and to maintain the purchasing power
of American workers.
At White House conference, Mr..
Green told the President that the Lit
tie Steel formula must be modified
to permit an additional 20 percent
boost in wage rates.
Contrary to newspaper reports to
the effect that President Truman had
rejected this demand, the Chief Exc
cutive made it clear that he was grave
ly concerned about the danger of
sharp reduction of wage earnings dur
ing the reconversion period and would
investigate the problem thoroughly
before acting.

Nogales Loses
To Panthers
By 1918 Score

A recovered Turnpie on the No
gales one-yard line in the fourth
period paved the way for touch
down which gave the Amphitheater
high Panthers 1918 edge over the
Apaches Friday afternoon in wild
see-saw battle at Amphitheatre field
in Tucson.
An Amphitheatre punt which was
brought back to the Nogales II put
the Apaches in a hole. An off-side
penalty hurt and on the third down
Tom Matlock pounced on the loose
ball on the one. Gus Wrigley went
off for the winning margin.
The Panthers held 1875 lead at
the half but the Apaches came back
strong with two third period scores
to assume an 1912 advantage.
Johnny Logan passed 10 yards to
Harry O'Hagin who took the ball
in midfield and dashed SO yards to
touchdown. The kick for the
extra point was blocked.
OHagin scored shortly after from
the one after Logan had reeled off
first down on that marker on a
sweeping left end run. What proved
to be an all-important boot for the
extra point sailed wide of the up
rights.
Many Fumbles
Amphitheatre funbled four times
in the first period on a steady march
goalward.
A blocked punt by guard Ben
Teyechea gave Nogales the ball on
the Amphitheatre 33 to set up the
