WAGE INCREASE

Index To Prove Costs Are
Lower Than In 1948

AT the request of George Freeh
president of the CIO-UAW's III
terplant Council representing Port
Clinton and st. Clair, Michigan,
employees of the Standard Pro
ducts Company, meeting between
the union and company officials
was held last week to discuss pos
sible wage increases.
In his letter of September %,
Mr.. Freeh stated: "As you are no
doubt aware, tremendous rise
in the cost of living has occurred
subsequent to, and as a conse-
quence of, the Korean situation,
The abnormal nature of this i'll
crease in the cost of living is be-
ing met in industry by wage in-
creases commensurate with the
rise in living costs as reflected by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
price index"
In its October % issue of BE
tween Ourselves, the Standard
Products Company stated
very few people realize that
the cost of living now is lower
than it was in August of l948.
1t doesn't seem that way to any
one, including the Company, be
cause we know that many speci
fic items are at record levels.
"But the index of the cost CT
living, and the one used in nearly
all Union negotiations, shows tha
the overall cost in lower than it
was in August of 1948.
1.-The Bureau of Labor Statistics
Index was 174.5 in August of
1948, its postwar high. 1t then
declined, but rose sharply in May
and June of this year, to 172.5 in
July.
"But it rose only half-a-point, to
173 in August and to 1898 in Sep
tember, the last month for which
a figure is available. This indi-
Gates that the cost of living has
begun to level out, at a point be-
low the figure for August of l948.
