Industry.
 RopscIo's Wage Case

Washington, Dec. i0-(UP)-In- dustry fired new barrage at the c. I. o. today in the statistical battle accompanying the c. I. O.s new drive for higher wages.
 The loudest shot came from the .. 6. Chamber of Commerce, which released 6 critical analysis of the o. I. O.'s wage case along with 6 statement from William K Jackson, president of the chamber.
 The target of the criticism was the report prepared for the c. I. o. last week by Robert Nathan, former Government economist. That re. port said industry in general could raise wages 26 percent without price increases.
 "The fallacy of this argument, as now offered by c. I. o. leadership" 1" Jackson said, twas clearly estab- lished last Winter when 1t came from Government sources. The na- ton then was told that wages could be raised by 24 percent without any price increases. The people Of the country now know that this was not true"
 Jackson listed nine objections to the Nathan report:
 1.--If all profits went to an omnibus corporation, he said. labor might dip into the pail and take a piece" But profits re inequally distributed, Jack son added, and the wage in- creases are enforced on marg- inal and losing companies So prices must be raised to absorb he pay increases
 2.-While real wages may have declined recently, they have shown phenomenal ir- crease" in the past five or six years. By comparing present wages with January, l045 levels, Jackson said, the c. I. O. used the peak of wartime take-home pay.
 3.-The c. I. O. used the "de- pressed period" of 1o36-30 for profits comparison. he said, and "by selection of high wage and low profits periods an altogether false picture is presented"
 4.-"The c. I. o ignores the fact that the dividend dollar has lost purchasing power just as truly as the wage dollar"
 5.-Since the first round of wage increases raised prices, Jackson asked, what assurance is there that the second round would not do the same.
 6.-The disparity of wage rates between different work CTS will be increased because powerful labor monopolies" are leading the current drive in few industries.
 7.-The Nathan reports pro- 'it estimates ignored the fact hat the investment in indus try had increased, the dividend dollar had declined in value and profits represented a small pro- portion of national income.
 8.-Projecting 1946 profits into lo47 is dangerous, Jackson said, because IS to 20 percent of the l01O pIOAlIo ESSulL IIOiIl all Au- crease in the book value of in- ventories.
 9.-"Profits as a percentage of the national income are ac- tually below the level attained in prewar normal good years" Jackson's statement was based on an analysis of the Nathan report made by Emerson P Schmidt, di- rector of the chambers economic research department. It was the first comprehensive reply from in- dustry to the Nathan report. al- though other industry Spokesmen have also been shooting at 1t.
 John L. McCaffrey, president of the International Harvester Com pany, told the Illinois Society of Public Accountants at Chicago yes- terday that labor leaders were using industrial profit figures dishonest lU
