earlier sinclair stevens york simeoe conservative mp said last week poor august figures and downward revisions to earlier month figures were scheduled to be released by statistics canada on oct 26 but after review their release was delayed for further tabulation mr stevens explained the tabulation was completed today but now officials state the figures will not be made public until nov 20 or later nov 23 is the date scheduled for release of september figures july figures were published on oct 2 it is believed that the publication of august figures is being delayed in the hope that septem ber figures will look better or at least the current five month adverse trend in wage increases can be explained statistics canada figures for the summer months were overstated mr stevens has learned he commented one person at statistics canada said we were 4 per cent to 6 per cent high each month and we could not believe the august figure it was so low the july figure originally shown at 16136 per week will be substantially reduced likely to about 15980 the official said one month ago when july figures were first released a finance department spokesman said government calculations show the latest reported average weekly industrial wage of 16136 is about seven cents above a year earlier in terms of purchasing power now with the revised figure it appears the government will have to admit the average worker was actually 147 behind fn july compared with one year earlier in august it is antici pated the average wage was 16080 per week but that month the worker should have earned 16378 per week to hold his own with inflation compared to august 1972 he has had a 298 short fall in buying power within the year mr stevens said lessening yearly increases in average weekly earnings and accelerating yearly jumps in the cost of living have been devastating for the worker since march this year mr stevens said in april this year the average wage increase in relation to the year before was 6 per cent about 90 cents a week less than the cost of living increase in northway snowmobiles available bill walls sales service bcthesda 888 m april 1972 the same worker gained 47 per cent about 6 per week in buying power compared to the previous year that is a turn around in buying power increaseof 350 a year for the average worker mr stevens said may and june this year were little better while july and august were a disaster compared with last year in august an average wage earner needed 16378 per week if he wanted the same buying power as in august 1972 when he earned 15090 mr stevens said he needed an average increase of 1288 a week he actually received about 990 it is a nasty trend when a worker needs more than a dollar a week in extra earnings every month just to keep level with inflation yet that is what is currently hap pening the alarming trend was confirmed in a department of labour research bulletin released this week which deals with changes in wage levels under all major collective bargaining settlements for the third quarter 1973 the bulletin reviews inflationary trends and then states at page 4 it can be said that the average base rate did not increase in real terms during the 12 month period ending september 30 1973 while it did increase by 16 per cent during the 12 month period ending a year earlier most disturbing of wrwav franchise

up without making it clear that such income rose in the first six months of the year mainly because of huge income tax refunds unemployment insurance payment increases other large government payment increases and higher investment income it was not due to real wage increases among the relatively more productive segment of the population if the trends keep up mr turner will have a difficult time
