Do you remember the hue and cry that went up from
sections of business when Congress than year
ago increased the minimum wage to Is cents?
The complaint frequently heard then that while
business firms could afford the increase it would vr
tualy drive tradonay owwage industries out Of bus
ness Some Of the oudest complaints from the South
mill industry.
WeIl the 75-cent minimum wage has been in effect
year What has happened?
This question has been answered by William Il. Nc
Comb, Wage-Hour Administrator in the Department of
Labor McComb made special study and he found the in
dustry able to pay the higher rate with scarcely any
trouble at all. Here is what he says:
Higher wage rates appear to have been absorbed
through increased efficiency increased mechanizaton the
large volume of business in the industry and increased prices
for the ndustrys product"
In Fact McComb found, the industry is profiting
as never before.
