Henry L. Nunn, company president, said the basic idea behind the plan is twofold: (1) The worker is en- titled to a fair share of the selling price of every shoe he turns; (2) he should have an annual income, not an hourly wage. The Nunn-Bush labor contracts | specifically state the employes’ share of the gross income.

Today the company treasury holds representing the difference between aggregate weekly checks for the first half of 1936 and their percentage of gross revenue.

Nunn said that today his employes’ wage is running 19': per cent above average weekly pay in the entire In- dustry for March, 1936, was $17.59, Nunn said, adding “At the present rate, our workers, about half of whom are girls, receive an average yearly Income of $1,199, or $23.06 a week. “We have leveled production.
