PRODUCTION SITUATION BRIGHTENS
Settlement of the wage disputes between the
United Automobile Workers union and Ford
and Chrysler has been correctly classified as
the most important development in the United
States since the end o f the war.
The event is significant because it tends to
point the way to settlement of strikes in other
industries. The feeling prevails that if Ford and
Chrysler can pay 18 cents an hour increase in
pay the other automobile manufactures and
the steeel companies can do likewise. However,
the chairman o f the U. S. Steel’s board of dir
ectors said his company cannot pay even the
proffered 15 cents an hour increase unless the
ceiling price o f steel is raised more than the
$4 a ton that the government is understood to
be willing to allow. The big companies (as well
a sthe little ones) have been wanting to reduce
their income taxes, and cutting profits is a good
way to reduce the income taxes.
The whole picture develops into a tug-of-war,
with the government fighting to avoid higher
prices, the employer attempting to gain more
lee-way between ceiling prices-and expenses
and the workers fighting to gain more for their
labor. The contestants will eventually reach a-
greements, because all are dependent upon the
others, but they may be slow in settling their
differences. An increase in ceiling prices is the
most dangerous, but the easiest solution and
that is probably what will transpire.
