lege Notes
If the 45,000,000 workers of this country
received the same average wage as Ford
employes, they would have had additional
wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus
increasing the national income about
50%. Think what such an increase would
mean to the workers of this country and
to the American farmer, whose prices are
based on the national income.
Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are
divided into three classifications:
Unskilled
Minimum hiring wage 75c per hour
Semi-skilled
Minimum hiring wage 80c per hour
Skilled
Minipium hiring wage 90c per hour
Higher wages are in consideration of
ability and years of service.
Minimum wage scales for unskilled labor
at the Rouge plant are the highest in the
industry. Top wages for skilled labor
compare favorably with, or are higher
than, wages in other automobile plants.
Now some facts on Ford labor conditions:
Not only are sanitation and other health
conditions the best in the industry, but
Ford also leads in safety devices for the
protection of employes. Proof of
this is found in the following com­

DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?
about Ford Labor.
During the year ended November 30th,
1940, the Ford Payroll throughout the
United States averaged 113,628 hourly
wage earners, not including office em
ployes, students, or executives. They were
paid $185,105,639.12. On this basis, the
average annual wage was $1,629.05.
According to the latest available govern
ment figures, the annual average wage of
all workers in employment covered by
old age insurance law was $841.00.

Sharp Rise In Hog
Market To $8.30 Top
Hog prices, the ugly duckling of
farm markets since last summer,
perked up the past week and Wed
nesday morning were bringing a top
of $8.30 at the Bluffton yards.
Quotations the past summer and
fall have ranged largely between $5
and $6.
Wednesday morning’s top repre
sents a steady rise in the market of
about 30 cents daily since last week.
Top prices were paid for weights be
tween 160 and 240 pounds.
The spring hog crop is practically
exhausted and the fall hogs are not
ready yet for the market. The scar
city of hogs in this interval between
the spring and fall production is
usually reflected in the market prices,
local stockmen stated.
In addition there is an unusually
heavy demand this season for lard.
Together with the general improve
ment in economic conditions, market
prices have responded to the in
creased demand.

parison of compensation insurance costs:
The national average rate in automotive
manufacturing plants as computed by the
National Association of Underwriters is
in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100
payroll. The Ford cost of workmen’s
compensation is less than 50c.
This indicates that the chance of injury
in a Ford plant is much less than in the
average automobile plant.
The Ford Motor Company has no age
limit for labor, and in fact deliberately
attempts to keep older workers working.
The average age of Ford workers at the
Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7.
A recent check-up shows that nearly one
half the workers at these Ford plants were
40 or over, falling into these age groups:
25,819 between 40 and 50
14,731 between 50 and 60
3,377 between 60 and 70
417 between 70 and 80
12 between 80 and 90
In addition to the so-called regular em
ployes, the Ford Motor Company has
hired, and now has on the payroll, at the
same regular hourly wage, thousands of
workers who are blind, crippled or other
wise incapacitated for normal productive
work. They are not selected for their
ability to build cars or to maintain the
plant. They are on the payroll because of
Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility
of a large company to labor goes be
yond the point at which the unfortunate
worker can no longer produce profitably.
The above are facts. They are open to
anyone who really wants to deal in facts.
Anyone who wants to get a job .. buy a
car ... or place a national defense con
tract on the basis of fair labor treat
ment must place Ford at the top
of his eligible list.
