of this year. the pay boosts have been than counter

Recent wage increases in most instances have meant
real gain in the living standards of American workers.
They have merely enabled the worker to keep swimming in
the tide of rising prices.

Unions Are To Blame'

You go into store to buy something that ought to cost
you a buck and the clerk charges you $150 for it,
You complain and the clerk who probably doesn't have
the slightest idea he's not telling you the truth
"Wel, it wouldn't be so high if it weren't for the
unions"
At that point it's time for you to declare "Now, look
here bud something polite and tell the clerk bit
about the economic facts of life.
If lot of unionists don't do that there's good chance
that very clever campaign launched by business and indus
try will succeed.
Objective of the campaign is to saddle the trade union
movement with the blame for initiation.
This would shifting public attention from the
eXorban profits of business and industry and focusing it
the wage increases which unions have obtained for their
members
And the wage increases would be pictured the
and not the result of price hikes.

get by with unless the unions do something quick
to block them
