A plan unuer which hired workers share with their employers the upa and downs of farm produrt prlres Is taking hold In one segment of American agriculture. The plan will be used the second successive season this year In set ling thr wagr pattern tor workers harvesting th Louisiana sugarcane crop. If th sugar cane farm operator! gels above a certain price for his raw augar his workers get a bonus above set wage scales. If sugar pne- ea drop below a specified level. I workers take a wage cut. ! Trie Last year ! Thu wage scheme was set up last year by th agriculture department under authority of sugar control leg-1 lalatlon. Under this legislation Ui government paya aubMdiea to do-: mrstlc producers, aimed primarily! at helping them compete with lower I cost producing areas. j In return for thu financial help,; the augar producer ta required loi pay worker not lena than a mlnl- mum wag act by the department. The theory la that government bene fit should be shared between the; producer and hla workers. I When the government first enter-1 ed the augar Industry back In the depression of the early 30 s it set more or leas rigid wage scales fori sugar worgers. These scales were based In large measure on prices! and earnings of the previous season. ! Often changing conditions caused wage rates to be out of line with' producer earnings. Sometimes they worked lo the advantage of the pro-! ducer, sometimes to that ot the! worker. i Adjustable Wage Last year th department hit up on the Idea of the adjustable wage scale. Reporta Indirate that it work ed out satisfactorily. Anyway It will be used again this year. Here la how the plan works: If the price of raw sugar Is between V KLAMATH'S FINEST place os the Exchange club con which has been to assist the ISM and 16 for 100 pounds, the worker geu the so-called "bate" wage rate. That rate Is 13 SO a day. plua housing, medical attention, garden and simlllar prequisilea. for cane cutters. For each full 10 cent that Uie price ol raw sugar Is above 16 or below ($60. wage ratea will In crease or decrease tS cents a day. If til price of sugar averaged 16 60 for 100 pounds, the day wage rale for cutters would be Increased 39 cents above the base rate, to Officials believe that this flexible wage principle could add to agri cultural aubility If used more ex tensively. But they do not have au thority to set It up elsewhere. Fish Boat Rescues Tugbc oat Crew CORDOVA. Alaska.
