Do you remember the hue and cry
that went up from some sections OF
business when Congress increased
the minimum wage to Is cents?
The complaint frequently heard
then was that while some business
firms could afford the increase, it
would virtually drive additionally
low-waec industries out OF business.
Some OF the loudest complaints came
from the Southern saw mill industry.
Well, the 75-ccnt minimum wage
has been in effect nearly a year.
What has happened
This question has been answered
by William r. McComh, Wage-lIour
Administrator in the Department OF
Labor, McComb made a special
study and he found the industry was
able to pay the higher rate with
scarcely any trouble at all Here
is what he says
Higher wage rates appear to
have been absored through increased
efficiency. increased INFLAMMATION.
the large volume OF business in the
industry, and increased prices for
the induStry's product"
In TACT. McComb found, the in
dustry is now profiting as never be-
fore.
