MILLION -BENERTT BY WAGE. _~ BOOSTS IN NATION Steel Companies’ Employes Are ‘Chief Beneficiaries of In- creases Effective Today Chicago, Mar. 15.—(P)—Nearly a million men and women went to work Monday in United States industrial centers fortified by the knowledge their wages had been raised substan- tially.

Effective Monday, 560,000 workers in the steel industry will receive 10 cents more per hour, fattening their pay envelopes by $120,000,000 over the Period of a year. But the good cheer was not con- fined to steel mills. In packing plant . Yefrigerators, down to the pits of the Minnesota and Michigan iron coun- try, in California orchards and in humming New England factories, workers rejoiced in the wave of pay hikes. The new minimum of 62% cents per hour ‘for steel workers will make the average hourly rate for labor ap- proximately 82% cents. Although a 40-hour week also becomes effective Monday, plants will continue to oper- ate 48 hours, with time and a half for overtime. To steel’s 225,000 workers in the Pittsburgh-Youngstown district, the raise will mean $46,000,000 more each year. In the Chicago district 75,000 will benefit by $6,500,000 annually. Led by the “big four”"—Swift, Ar- mour, Wilson and Cudahy—the pack- ing industry jacked its scale up to 62% cents per hour. Hormel company added $1,000,000 annually to the wages of its 3,700 employes. The Timken Roller Bearing com- pany announced increases for 8,500 workers, totaling ‘!,500,000 annually.

It meant an annual increase of be- tween $3,000,000 and $4,000,000.
