Wage Raise
By JACK CRELLIN

Pointing out that costs are
higher than ever before and that
work productivity of employees Is
az the lowest mark ever. the Ford
Motor Co. today fatty rejected
the UAW-CIO's demands for a
general 30 per cent wage increase
for Ford employees.
The company charged that the
union shop and checkoff in the
Ford plants was largely a failure
and insisted that continuance OF
il would have 70 hinge on a union
guarantee of company security
HIGHEST IN INDUSTRY
In turning down the unions de-
mand for a wage increase, the
company stated:
"The Ford Motor Co. Is today
paying the highest wages In the
automotive industry. We Will
pay higher wages whenever we
are sure that we can pay them
and, still maintain this company
as a sound and growing busi-
ness.
I'VE do not believe that this
Is the time TO attempt To settle
on general wage incre ases.
They would have to be based on
guesses of what our volume of
production and our costs are
going To be, and on guesses as
TO what earnings-if any-we
may be able 10 make.
1--WE feel that a general wage
Increase such as you propose
would amount TO a very heavy
mortgage on the future Of all OF
us-the Ford Motor Co. and its
employees alike.
1--WE are now finishing recon-
version and shooting as hard as
we can toward maximum pro-
duction. Every dollar Of COM
pany profits during the war
years is already committed to
plant expansion. Improvement
OF working conditions, and in
staIlation of m e n s and
machines 10 gear out operations
to sharp postwar competition.
MATERIAL COSTS UP
To-day our materials are
costing us more than they ever
have before. More important,
our work productivity per man
il at the lowest mark ever. The
wage rates we will be able to
pay will, after reconversion Is
completed and we have reached
volume production, depend en-
tirely on those two questions:
whether we are able TO keep
other costs down while obtain
ing better productivity from our
employees"
The union has already taken q
strike vote among Ford workers
10 support its demands for a wage
increase.
