The Editor, -One looks wth wonder and amaze- went at the strikes that break out - here and there, orl Labor seems to be under the im- pression that strikes can increase wages. They may, of course, in some in- stances, but an increase of wage rates, if generally applied, would 'not in- "United States in" 1937. rates rose sharply. create, would almost certainly des cre the real income of the workers! Wages are costs, costs are a part of | prices. Price, not infrequently, af- fects the volume of demand, total wage payments may fall even while wage rates rise. This happened very clearly in the In that year business started to move ahead. Wage There was a busi- ness relapse. Total wages and salaries were $.8 billion less in 1938 than in 1937--did not recover the 1937 level until 19.10, The same thing happened, @ . 2 " though in-milder degree, in Canada. Consider the situation in the ten years 1929-1938, the period immed- iately preceding the war. Total wages paid in Canadian manu- facturing varied from $602 millions in 1920 to $207 millions in 1933. Labor received a slightly higher percentage of the net value of products in 1929 but not much. If the percentage paid in 1933 had been exactly equal to that paid in 1929 labor would have had almost six mil- lion dollars more but it would still have had $200 million less than it re- ceived in 1929. The vital interest of labor is in the volume of production rather than in the rate of pay. | Strange thongh that may seem to some who have not given the question much consideration. . R. J.
