that $4,000 of the steam locomo-

ingalls, Plant Engineer Declares
Diesels To Replace Steam Engines

The diesel locomotive, an in
novation of the past decade, is not
only here to stay--it is here to re-
place $1,000 steam engines now
in use by railroads, Planning En-
gineer r. II. Macy OF the ingalls,
Shipbuilding Corporation said
this week on the eve of the
Launching and shake down
cruise of the first of the mas
sive engine built here.
Mr.. Macy told the Pascagoula
Kiwanis club Tuesday that his
company had decided to build die
sci locomotives to tide over any
lull in shipbuilding for three ma
jor reasons: Cd They could be
built with the same facilities ca
They would require ship-build-
ing-trained personnel, each craft
in about the same proportion CD
There is an unlimited market for
the product.
In connection with the market
for product. MIR. Macy said that
he had visited the nations leading
railroads and that virtually all
of them intended TO switch large
ly to diesel from steam as soon
as the engines were available.
He said il would require about
10 years with the nations pres
ent building facilities. including
ingalls,, to construct the estimated
10000 engines that would be re-
quired TO replace $4,000 steam en-
gines now in S by the roads.
New Engine Ready
Mr.. Macy said that the die
sci engine for the cab, which
has ,alteady been constructed,
has arrived and is being installed
and that the engine will be
''eranked-up9 Sunday for tests i'll
the shop. A demonstration ON
the road will be held en- March
8, after which the engine will
be sent to Mobile for Isl as a
switch engine as the beginning of
an extensive test that may last
several months.
The all-purpose engine, built
to specifications required by mary
lines, has received an enthusiast
tic reception from railroad PEG
pie throughout the country, the
engineer said. The extensive test,
over mountains with heavy loaas
and eurving tracks, is designed To
discover any bugs in the IN
CINE and remedy them before
production begins.
In his comprehensive discus
sion, Mr.. Macy gave some in
teresting comparisons of the die
sci and steam engines. He stated
that. while the diesel costs twice
as much to construct, It can be
operated on long runs for one
fourth the amount of the steam
engines because Of reduced fuel
consumption. He also pointed
out that a diesel engine can be
kept in operation more than 90
percent of the time as compared
to 81 percent for the steam en-
CINE, one of the reasons Why an
estimated 10000 o. the newer type
engines would replace $4,000 Of
the old.
He said that I,500 engines a
Year was the maximum that could
be constructed with the present
facilities of the nation.

Survey Reveals Women
Share In All Union Gains

Washington, D. C.--The great prog
ress made by labor unions in seeing
that women share fully in favorable
working conditions accorded men was
outlined in a report by the Women's
Bureau of the Labor Department af-
ter detailed survey.
The report showed that women form
80 percent of the membership of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union (AFL), 46 percent of the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
(AFL) and so percent of the United
Textile Workers (AFL). Benefits wo-
men have received through unions in
clude voice in collective bargaining,
better jobs with equal opportunity for
promotion, higher wages, shorter
hours, paid vacations, seniority rights,
improved working conditions and COM
munity services, such as child care

Toledo AFL Members Guests
Of City's Chest Agencies

New York City (ILNS).-American
Federation of Labor members in
Toledo, Ohio, are obtaining better
knowledge of the work Of the Greater
Toledo Community Chest through
"guest dinners" at which industrial
workers are entertained by Red Feath-
er agencies of the chest, the Labor
League for Human Rights says.
These dinners are sponsored by the
individual agencies, and give the work
ers an opportunity to see the chest
agencies in action. The knowledge
gained is passed along to fellow work
ers. Frank Berry, AFL Toledo Chest
representative, reported that with
a better understanding of the health
and welfare needs of the community,
and the functions of these services,
AFL workers will take far greater in
terest in the work Of the chest and its
agencies.

Final Session of Council Declares Pay Lags Far Behind
Price Rises

Most of this advance took place before
the "hold-the-line" order of April 1943.
Between April 1943 and April 1945,
wage rates advanced only 2 percent,
as the wage freeze became practically
complete.
5-As a general rule, wartime wage
output per man-hour. In munitions
| industries, for example, between 1912
and December 1914 man-hour produc-
tivity rose ~ percent. During the same
time, straight time hourly earnings in
durable goods indutries (almost en-
tirely converted to munitions) rose
only 16.1 percent.
| 6-Despite postwar increases in
wage rates won by unions, wage in
come has been continuously and sharp
declining Between April 1916 and
February 1916, weekly earnings in all
manufacturing decreased 1873 percent,
while wages in durable goods dropped
! 17.2 percent. During the same time
real weekly earnings fell 1873 percent
in manufacturing and 1876 percent in
durable goods. This drop took place
despite an increase in adjusted"
straight time hourly earnings of As
percent in manufacturing and "a per-
cent in durable goods. Losses in wage
income are largely attributed to the
disappearance of overtime and exten-
sive postwar downgrading.
7-When we had 7.6 million unem-
ployed in January 1941, weekly pay
rolls in manufacturing were $239 mil
lion. In November 1943 they reached
$3.50 million. BY February 1916 pay
rolls were down to 1919 million. Half
of the wartime increase in wage out
lay has already been wiped out.

POSTWAR WAGE DROP

POSTWAR WAGE DROP - -. -. ;.
Washington, D. C.-The AFL Ex-
ecutive Council concluded its Spring
session here by making public de-
tailed report emphasizing the wage
inequities imposed upon American
labor since the end of the war.
Outstanding conclusions of the re-
port were summed up in these words
Wage income and wage rates have
been on downward trend since April,
1916. Continuing control of wages is
unwarranted under these conditions
and can only result in the freezing of
wage standards out of all relation to
the cost of living.
Consumer prices are continuing
their upward march. They must be
curbed until full production, sufficient
to meet the demand, is attained-and
no longer"
The report was presented to the
oCHaeC odilhliS anu OuIISuCy SOHl-
mittee by AFL President William
Green on requests by Senators Taft
of Ohio and Mitchell of Washington
for exact information on wage de-
clines and steady price increases.
The report documents these signi-
ficant findings:
Between January 1941 and April
1916 wartime average gross weekly
income of manufacturing wage-earn-
ings rose from $26.64 to $47.12, an
increase of 1863 percent. More than
half of this increase in gross income
was offset by the rise in the cost of
living, with the result that gross real
earnings rose by only 34.9 percent.
This was further offset by the rising
wartime taxes. During the war period,
real earnings after taxes increased
from $26.37 to $3423 per week, or
only 29.8 percent for a worker with
three dependents and from $25.41 to
$29.82, or only TIA percent for a sin
gle worker.
Wartime wage income rose from
extremely low levels, depressed by
widespread unemployment. In January
1941 there were still 100000 unem-
ployed. In January 1941, one-third of
all Americans, 13 million families con-
sisting Of 38A million men, women
and children, had just rounded out
their last peacetime year-a year of
poverty with average family income
totaling only $527.
3-Wage income during the war
rose mainly because casual and part
time workers became full-time en-
ployes; all wage earners worked
longer hours; many on night and Sun
day shifts received premium pay;
many in low-paid jobs were advanced
to positions of higher pay, and nu-
merous wage adjustments were made
for small groups to equalize rates for
the same work.
General wage rates in manufac-
turing advanced only 1914 percent be-
tween January 1941 and April 1916.
