Heat sat jomb facts about Ford Labor. parison of compensation insurance costs: During the year ended November 30th, 1910, the Ford Payroll throughout the United States averaged 113,628 hourly wage earners, not including office em ployes, students, or executives. They were paid $185,109,639.12. On this basis, the average annual wage was $1,629.05. The national average rate in automotive manufacturing plants as computed by the National Association of Underwriters it in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100 payroll. The Ford cost of workmen's compensation is leu than 50c. According to the latest available govern ment figures, the annual average wage of all workers in employment covered by old age insurance law was $8 (1.00. I f the 45,000,000 workers of this country received the same average wage as Ford employes, they would have had additional wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus increasing the national income about 50%. T h in k what such an increase would mean to the workers of this country and to the American farmer, whose prices are based on the national income. This indicates that the chance of injury in a Ford plant is much less than in the average automobile plant. The Ford Motor Company hat no age lim it for labor, and in fact deliberately attempts to keep older workers working. The average age of Ford workers at the Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7. A recent check-up shows that nearly one- half the workers at these Ford plants were 40 or over, falling into these age groups: 25,819 14,731 3,377 417 12 Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are divided into three classifications:- Unskilled , , , M inim um hiring wage . 75c per hour Semi-skilled . . . M inim um hiring wage . 80c per hour Skilled . . . Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour Higher wages are in consideration of ability and years of service. M inim um wage scales for unskilled labor at the Rouge plant are the highest in the industry. Top wages for skilled labor compare favorably with, or arc higher than, wages in other automobile plants. N ow some facts on Ford labor conditions: N o t only are*sanitation and other health conditions the best in the industry, but Ford also leads in safety devices for the protection of employes. Proof of this is found in the following com- F II H II M O T O between between between between between 40 50 60 70 80 and and and and and 50 60 70 80 W In addition to the so-called regular em ployes, the Ford Motor Company has hired, and now has on the payroll, at the same regular hourly wage, thousands of workers who are blind, crippled or other wise incapacitated for normal productive work. They are not selected for their ability to build cars or to maintain the plant. They are on the payroll because of Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility of a large company to labor goes be yond the point at which the unfortunate worker can no longer produce profitably. The above arc facts. They are open to anyone who really wants to deal in facts. Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a car . . . or place a national defense con tract on the basis of fair labor treat ment must place Ford at the top of his eligible list. It C O M P A N Y
