UPWARD TREND j OF UNION WAGE I SCALES SHOWN Demand for Shorter Hours Also Recognized in Contract Renewals. Bv Scrinn-Hmeant Scicvaocr Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. 16. The long-time upward trend of union wage scales continued in 1929, and organized labor's demand for shorter hours was recognized in most of the contract renewals, according to a nationwide survey of union rates published by the labor department. Three-quarters of a million workers occupied in eight crafts in sixty-seven important industrial centers were reached in the survey. In all, seventy-five trade and subdivisions were examined. For 1929, the hourly wage rate for all these trades showed an Increase of seven-tenths of a cent per hour as compared with 1928. The real return to the worker was Increased somewhat above this figure by declining prices. Some twenty building trades crafts showed an increase of 13 per cent. Bakers, laundry workers and stone cutters affiliated with labor unions w r on wage increases of 2.5 per cent or better during the year. Wages Up Fractionally While wages for the combined groups increased fractionally, the full-time hours per week decreased by one-tenth of an hour 4 for thfe 786,000 union workers surveyed. The forty-four-hour week—five eighthour days and Saturday morning—is tire union standard. The survey showed fewer than one-tenth of the organized workers toiling as many as forty-eight hours weekly. The steady extension of the fiveday week is shown by the finding that slightly more tharf one-sixth of all union workers surveyed work forty hours or less per week. The average union wage rate at the middle of 1929 was $1.20 per hour, or $9.60 for an eight-hour day. Unchanged in Four years Against these advances by the union crafts, some of the larger nonunion groups reported working hours and wages unchanged since 1926. In the hosiery industry, for example, average hourly earnings were 443 cents in 1928 and 44.4 cents at the end of 1929, according to the labor department figures. In these two years the hosiery mills

REDTOPMAIT SYRUP WORKERS QUICK METHOD TO OVERCOME FATIGUE - l They Take a Moment to Eat or Drink Sometffing Sweet Salesmen who cover 'miles each day, and business folks who go at top speed at their desks and counters. know that mid-afternoon is the zero hour as far as energy is concerned. Since rest and relaxation are out of the question at this busy time of the day, countless workers have found to their delight that a piece of candy, a cookie, ice cream, or a sweetened drink—even sugar dissolved in water—restores vigor almost, immediately. The reason for this is that the sugar content of these “snacks” supplies the system with quick nourishment without taxing the digestive system. When the body is thus nourished, fatigue is materially lessened. Recent tests among workers have proved the value of this practice of eating something sweet in mid-afternoon. A well-known physician in Philadelphia often advises business men to drop in at a soda fountain at 4 o’clock and drink a flavored milk shake. Nervous exhaustion is overcome and '-he evening meal is eaten later with calm enjoyment. The demand cf the systfm for refined sugar should not be denied. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with refined sugar. The Sugar Institute. \ ■ ' .
