Wages Up 10%;
‘Food Up 19%

CIO SECRETARY James B,
Carey, appearing before a Con-
gress Committee, recently
charged that American labor
was: greatly disturbed because
the promises of equality of sacri-
fice had not been carried out.

Wages in manufacturing had
risen only 10 percent requiring
no more than a three percent in-
crease in prices. Nevertheless
wholesale prices rose 17 percent
or six times as much as the in-
crease in labor costs.

Wages ‘in the food industry
rose 7.8 percent, equivalent to a
2.5 percent increase in food,
prices. At the same time, whole-
sale food prices went up 19 per-
cent or seven times as much as
warranted by the increase in
wages,

On the same basis of compari-
Son, prices of textiles rose ten
times as much as wages in the
industry, and in chemicals the
price increase was 25 times the
increase in wages.
