capped.
This is not pretty picture, we
admit, but there are two major
controlling factors, which cause
this condition, ether than the fact
that the appl cant would rather
draw his $40 per week compensa-
ton, than work for about thai
much, and have his take home
pay fall short of the former,
Manager Harold M. Hinkle said.
Two Extremes
The two "'major controlling fac
tors are, two extremes, with
which the office has to work.
The applicant who has been Gin
flated financially" taught to ex-
pect extremely high salaries,
comes in and asks for a job
as advertising manager, at which
he says he is vel. experienced. He
wants $50 per week for his work,
because that is what he has been
getting at his job in the war plants.
Wants High Wage
There is no compromise, Man
ager Hinkle says. His prospective
employer will not go above $40
per week, and he will not think of
less than the original 800.
Then there is the employer who
wants cook. He is willing to pay
the cook SIS per week, if he is a
good cook.
The cook must work seven days
per week, 10 to IA hours per day.
longer if there is a Especial party"
coming up.
Employer Sticks
"The cook, of course cannot af-
ford to work for less than 20 TO Is
dollars per week, the employer
won't bulge"
In these two cases, which the
Manager admits are unusual, a
deadlock results. The cook goes
without his job.
The advertising manager remains
jobless.
Compensation will eventually be
paid both the cook, and the man
ager, unless one or both, the en-
ployer and the ennploye "sees the
light" and come to some salts
factory agreement regarding hours
and prices, Hinkle says.
Happy Medium
Other cases bear likeness to
these two, the manager points out.

ton just "another monkey wrench
