THE MID-WEST BANK "SafeasaSKPio HARVESTER COMPANY WAGE INCREASES SINOE 1902 During tlio recent labor disturbances which spread from various manufac turing establishments all over the country to the Chicago works of the International Harvester company somo interesting Information vine brought out concerning wago Increases during tho laBt fourteen years. At the very beginning of tho disturbance in tho Harvester plants, tho management ordered a careful Investigation of tho wago Increases to its employes slnco 1902, the year tho company was organ ized. In ordor that this investigation might be fair, accurate, and impartial, the company went outsldo and en gaged a firm of certified public ac countants to make a detailed examina tion of tho pay rolls from the year of the company's organization down to tho present. Without waiting for this roport, tho company proceeded at once to offer Its employes in tho McCormlck and Deerlng works a new schedule, In creasing tho minimum rate to 25 cents an hour and granting a new rate which wub equivalent to a wago increase of 111-9 per cent. This new schedule was applied to all employment, piece work or time. Examination of the pay rolls by tho certified accountants showed that tho wageB, even before the recent In crease, wore much higher than those In effect when tho company was or ganized. Tho following certified re--port was made as to the McCormlck and Deerlng works: CERTIFICATE We have made nn investigation of the pay roll situation at the Deerlng and McCormlck Harves ter works of the International Har vester company of New Jersey, and WE HEREBY CERTIFY, That tho average hourly rate of wageB of employes of these works (ex clusive of superintendents and general foremen) during April, 1916, shows an Increase of CO. 34 per cent over tho average hourly rate for tho manufacturing season of 1902. (Signed) HASKINS & SELLS, Certified Public Accountants This report shows an increase ot more than one-half In the hourly rate of wages from 1902 down to April, 1916. When to that 1b added tho IncreaBO granted in the now schedule effective May 1st, it makes the actual total In crease of the hourly wage rate from 1902 to the present time 67.03 per cent more than two-thirds. , A week later the same Arm rendered another certified report covering tho Deerlng and McCormlck twine mlllB, as follows: CERTIFICATE We have made an investigation of tho pay roll situation at the Deerlng and McCormlck twlno mills of tho International Harves ter company of New Jersey, and WE HEREBY CERTIFY, That tho averago hourly rates of wages of employes of theBo mills (ex clusive of superintendents) during April, 1916, show increases over the average hourly rates during tho manufacturing season of 1902 as follows: Per Cent. Female employes 68.59 Male Employes 61.47 All employes 55.91 This comparison is on the day shift only; night workers are paid a premium of 10 per cent oyer day wages, which was not the practice in 1902. (Signed) HASKINS & SELLS, Certified Public Accountants. But there had also been a new schedulo for the twine mills, effective May 1. 1916. Adding the Increase in cluded therein to tho figures of the' certified accountants' report, the total Increases in the twine mills from 1902 to date are: Per Cent. Male workers 76.84 Female workers 96.68 Total 86.46 That means a total Increase of tho hourly wage rate In tho twine mills, from 1902 to date, of more than four tlfthB. Tho farmer has not felt tho effect of 'these increases in wages for the sim ple reason that by improvements in processes of manufacture and by tho development of efllcloncy in the works tho company 1ms been able to offset the Increasing cost of labor. Tho recent rise In prices of farm machines was due solely to tho abrupt and unusual increase in the cost of raw materials used in their manufac ture. Material prices will doubtless go back to their former level in time, but wage increases may be regarded as permanent additions to tho cost of production. I Ixocal items The Herald 1 year, $1.
