Life Begins at $2500 a Year ALASKA CIRCULATION G TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION (Philadelphia Record) When John L. Lewis says the general wage for ungkilled labor could easily be $2500 a year, the aver- {age citizen is likely to think Lewis is talking through {Lis hat. Yet Lewis’ view is perfectly sane and sensible. In fact, it is the only sane and sensible view for those v.ho understand our business system and wish it to lcontinue its progress. | That wage level could not be attained overnight. \Cur present productive capacity is great enough to support only 20 per cent more buying than was done in the prosperous year of 1929. tiere raised to $2500 a year, prices would zoom because cf scarity, and the wage increase would mean little in actual purchasing power. But Lewis is not talking about an overnight in- crease. Unskilled workers generally could be given $2500 within a very few years if a policy of steadily |r'sing wages was pursued. And that $2500 would |mean a purchasing power in terms of the present— or at least the 1926—dollar. At the present time 20 million American tamilies, o 71 percent, have incomes of less than $2500. The income group from 0 to $950 a year goes into debt or exists on charity; the group from $950 to $1250 saves nothing; the group from $1250 to $2450 saves from 3 to 11 per cent of its income. To “save” really means to invest money in pro- ductive enterprise. Thus if the income of 70 per cent v v litt] ne is would point toward an. amiable settlement wnhout:;,:;; ;v,m;l;,egsp‘;,l:z r:\?}:‘érzmt]hi;vi:an l;j:l' thztz?vglnl; untoward hardship for any one, neither the con-‘group. three things are accomplished: sumers nor the actual participants in the delibera-! 1.
