Washing machines, refrigerators, heaters,’ a hundred’ things were on their way to you. But the strikestopped that. It was expected to hire twice as many workers as before the war. But the strike stopped that. Six new government plants were bought. Seven other new plants were being built. And land bought for three more. Ingreased production was planned in every existing works city. We are sorry they detided a strike was the answer. The strike will pinch the public with shortages. And take a million dollars a day out of the pockets of General Electric workers. G.E.’s PAY OFFER Many of our workers, from what they tell us and write us, do not know that we offered the union an increase of *Pictures taken between shifts be- fore the strike represent the cons dition of our factories today. ) ALF-FINISHED roasters* 10¢ an hour for all those making less than a 00 an hour, and 10% increase for those who make more.* 26 | s , With ‘the offered increase and the overtime that will be nécessary: to meet:consumer demand this year, the average employee would ‘haye’had more “take homie” pay’ than during the war. a THE STRIKE IS PUZZLING Since 1935, average hourly earnings for men climbed over 51%. Over half of this was in the last five years. There has been no real labor trouble at G. E. in 24 years, We believe in collective bargaining. G. E. was one of the first large industrial companies to enter voluntarily into a company-wide contract with a national union. A million-dollars-a-day pay loss will strike every G-E community. And the real tragedy is that employees can gain nothing that they could not have gained while still at work. **Those making $2,000 to $3,000 in salary would receive 10% increases, and those receiving between $3,000 and ~ $5,000 ‘annually would receive increases of $300.
