U.S. APPLE PRICES With coid storage stocks of ap- pies on Jantiarv 1, 1949, muchl smalier than a year earlier-17.7 million busheis compared with 27.8 million-the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economies expects Unit- 1ed States apple prices to continue Lhigh for the rest of the season. 1The January average price of 1 2.85 a bushel in 1949 was about .42 per cent higher than that in s1948 and the average price re- ceived by growers for the 1948 crop bias been tentatively estimat- 1ej at $2.13 compared with $1.78 -for the 1947 crop. By R. 3. Deaehman When wage rates are increas- ed who pays the bill? That de- pends on the source o! the in- creased earning o! workers. That's an astounding answer - it has neyer been given before! In 1939 the average worker in Canadian industry produced goods valued at $5,279. By 1945 prod'uc- tien had gone up to $7,372, an in- crease of $2,093. He received for his services, in 1939, $1,121, by 1945 he was earn- ing $1,649, an increase of $528. We know that bis production in- creased by $2,093 in this period. We know also that he received for bis efforts 22.37%7 of his in- creased production. That alone added to his income $468. But didn't wage rates go up in that period? They did. In 1939 the worker received 21.231,',,o! the product produced and in 1945 he received 22.37U,, a percentage increase o! 1.14% of his produc- tion. But as we have aiready allowed the higher rate on his increased production we must add the increase to his basic produc- tion. That is we must allow himn an increase of 1.14<,, on the $5,279, the production level fromn whicb he started. That gives him an added item of $60, the resuit of incrcased wage rates. Now al these two items together - $4681 fromi increased production per worker - $60 rom increascd wage rates and we have a total increase of $528 in 1945 over the 1939 rate. Wages are a part o! cests, they are, in fact, the major part. When costs go up prices risc, the bill in the end comes back te the workers -not only the workers iho pro- duced the go ods but ail workers regardless o! their field o! effort. Wage increases brought about by increased production do not resuit in price increases they tend in the opposite direction. Then why shouid labor struggle so intensely for increased va ge 1 rates while ignoring entireiy the problem o! increased production? I do not know the answer. There, may be many answers. There is no material change over a long p eriod of years in the percentage dis- tribution e! the dollar the manu- facturer receives for the productsi lie produces. Earnings cf labor have movcd up steadily with in- creased production. The question remains unanswered. Why should labor - wby should capital ignore these facts? Wage rates cannot be reduced - production per worker can be încreased. That is the only means by which the1 standard o! living cf the people of Canada can be ircreased.
