as a reshk-of collective bargaining negotiations with the unions.
These added wage increases are over and above the postwar adjust

more than $18,000,000 on an annual basis. Thus, this recent wage
increase, embodied in a contract to run until March 1, 1947, brings
the postwar adjustment wage increases, arising out of collective bar

postwar ¿wage rates being 19 per cent. Thy recent collective bargain
