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.
