DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?
Here are some facts 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.
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 ...
Minimum 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-
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.

AND THAT’S TOO MUCH
“Why is it impossible for a
woman ever to be President of
the United States?”
“Because, to be President, a
person must be at least thirty-
five years of age.”
Son—Say, Pa, what’s chaos?
Pa—I don’t know exactly, but
it’s something they’re always
bringing order out of.
