arguing that the demand for their product
f1uctuates too widely. u S. Steel Board Chair
man Irving S. Olds and President Benjamin
r. Fairless have opposed the GAW.
Similarly, youthful Henry Ford II took a
stand against it when he recently warned
auto workers not to be deceived by seductive
promises of security" Declared the auto
company president: 1--WE at Ford are Ger
tainly not today in any position to guarantee
an annual wage" Recently, too, Ford
Official announced that the company would
have to recoup losses resulting from short
ages, wage increases and suppliers' strikes
before we can do many things we would
like to do - things like retirement plans and
plans for more stabilized employment" But
the powerful auto workers union, led by
militant Walter Reuther, are all for it, term
ing the GAW "an economic necessity"
Hosmd Experiment
NEGOTIATIONS for an annual wage have made
greatest progress in the packing industry At
present, the United Packinghouse Workers
(CIO) have urged the Big Four - Swift,
Wilson, Cudahy and Armour - to guarantee
their 100000 members 40 hours work a
week for So weeks Should Swift, now said to
be considering a compromise offer, reach an
agreement with the packing workers, the
other three large packers might follow suit
Darling gothic packing workersis the famed,
CIO unionized HORNED plant in Austin,
Mimi. whose GAW plan was launched volun-
tarily by management without union pressure
in the '3Os. The HORNED experiment invari-
ably enters any discussion as it goes farther
than any other plan now in existence in giving
workers full, unconditional guarantee.
1t all began one evening in 1929 when
President Jay c. HORNED, leaving his plant,
encountered an unhappy worker who waved
lay-off notice at him.
"You can't do that to me, Mr.. Hormel,"
the worker protested
Cant do what?" the packer inquired
'You can't turn me out into the street."
the worker said. You would never do that
to dog, 50 why should you do it to me2'
This started Packer Hormel thinking.

known to turn labor agitator into a Num-
Bush asset, once said, "I'm not better than
reactionary' employer. I'm just little
smarter. The only way to get co operation is
to take labor into partnership"
Oldest of the pioneer annual-wage plans is
Proctor & Candles in Cincinnati Started
in 1923, it now guarantees 48 weeks work,
40 hours week, to employees who have been
with the company at least two years. Like
HORNED and Num- Bush, it has been without
labor trouble since. P & G officials reveal
that the plan has saved the company
over 100000, 900 in production costs
alone during the past q years.
Other companies now having guaranteed
wage plans include a Chicago mail order
concern, a Baltimore spice house, Pennsyl-
vania knitting mill, a Tennessee hardware
firm, a Cleveland waterproofmg factory, and
Richmond dyeing plant. Some of the plans
are limited to part-time or conditional guar
antees, but all have made a beginning towards
regular employment.
Despite this, many employers still fer
vently oppose guaranteeing annual wages
arguing that it would increase their business
risks and force them to hire fewer workers.
These employers, determined to let their
competitors experiment with CAV plans, say

Slumless Austin is proud HORNED spend
ing" town. Sociologists have marveled at how
the packing company 8 wage plan transformed
a shaky town, with the customary business
ups and downs into an exceptionally thriving
community. Steady HORNED employment has
given the town steady prosperity even during
the depression. Since the plan was put into
operation, no Horned homeowner has had
mortgage foreclosed.
Behind the Plan HORNED once reflect
ed, Il wonder who began paying men by the
hour, anyhow. 1t must have been invented
by some employer who wanted to chisel The
hourly wage system makes the worker
carry the load and bear the shock of bust
ness slow down.
Another successful depression launched,
guaranteed-wage plan is that of the Num-
Bush Shoe Company in Milwaukee. 1t grew
costs were always the same percentage Out
of this, he evolved flexible share-the-
production wage plan, giving his workers 20
per cent of the wholesale value of the shoes
they packed each year. Though their weekly
wages may vary with the company's earnings,
the workers, who have never gone on strike,
seem more than satisfied with their indus
trial democracy" Embittered CIO and AFL

they call company union" despair, 'It's
not a union there but religion"

THANcEs are, you are paid - or pay your
employees - on an hourly, daily, weekly
or monthly basis.
But today a new way of reimbursing
employees - by the year - is bristling in
the labor management air and may we'll
determine the country's future economic
structure Called Guaranteed Annual Wage
(GAW), it looms as the battle cry of the
hour day did in previous one. If it stabilizes
our economy and eliminates depressions, as
advocates claim, everyone stands to gain -
big and small business, factory and white
collar workers, professional men and women.
Now a top-drawer issue in employer
employee relations, the proposal to negotiate
wages on yearly instead of hourly basis is
being diligently brooded over not only in
dingy union halls but in industry's sumptu-
Gus inner sanctums. Hundreds of American
companies, anxious for more production, less
labor turnover, fewer slowdowns and strikes,
are voluntarily studying the annual wage as
means of achieving greater industrial stability
Two years ago the American Management
Association launched comprehensive sur
vey. The National Association of Manufac-
turers, u S. Chamber of Commerce and
National Industrial Conference Board have
also made studies.
Uncle Sam is earnestly pondering the idea,
too One Federal law - the Fair Labor
Standards Act - already encourages stable
employment by granting partial exemptions
from overtime pay to firms guaranteeing
2,O8O hours of annual work Last May,
Congress appropriated 100000 for COM
mittee to study annual wages. The committee
revealed that of $4,000 businesses polled, only
258 had guaranteed-wage or work plans.
Approved by FDR
l HE government first became interested in
the annual wage a dozen years ago when
President Roosevelt, meeting delegation of
Detroit auto workers, asked one what his
pay was Told that it was dollar and
quarter an hour, the Chief Executive re-
marked, That seems pretty good wage"
1T is, Mr. President" the worker replied
"but last year l only worked sixty-hve days
and my total earnings were just six hundred
and fifty dollars"
This is the reason, FDR later told report
ers, for thinking in terms of how much
fellow gets by December 3lst instead of
how much he gets per hour"
Today the GAW is smack up front on
labor's bargaining table, and the demand for
it will probably increase nightly in coming
months One labor leader recently joshed a
group of afffuent businessmen, ''You fellows
must be in favor of an annual wage - you
all get one!''
Terming the GAW common sense plan
for prosperity" the CIO is pushing hardest
for it. But neither the AFL nor railroad
brotherhoods have thumped for it thus far.
