‘Where Does the Money G

~ By ED WILSON What can an average man

with an average family and | an averageé income do when

he has to pay prices that are above average? What is an average family anyway and what is an average income today when wages have taken the same trail with prices? According to the Chamber of Commerce, an average family is probably one with man, wife and two children. come would ‘lie somewhere between $3600 and $3800 a year, A family fitting these specifica-

tions fairly well is Mr. and Mrs. § Oliver Pagel, 1836 E. Minesota §

year and they have two children, §

Jerry, 17 months and Pamela, 3 years. ir. Pagel works at RCA as a trotible shooter. He went to Tech High School and had two years at Indianapolis Electronics School. While he was going to the electronics school, he worked as a taxi driver, . » » » BEFORE Mr. Pagel gets all of his pay checks for the year, Uncle 8am relieves him of $54 for old

age pension and $297.92 for in- *

come tax, Then, as Mr. Pagel puts it, the state of Indiana puts out its big fat hand for $36.32 for income tax, and the County, $3 for persdnal properties tax. That leaves him $3498.36 to start living on. i From that tidy sum, his union| takes $104, three insurance com-| panies take $122.76 for four life Joliet; car insurance costs him! 55. br That leaves him $3216.80 and he hasn’t taken a mouth full of food yet, : Mr. Pagel has a car that's beyond the taxable age , . . ’38| vintage . . . but he says-the dang] thing eats gas and oil like a hog. | He pays $260 a year for gaso-| line, $26 for oil dnd estimates re-|

That leaves $615.12, Always a practical person, Mr, Pagel thinks of his stomach again and pays $156 for his lunch at work and after he’s full he thinks about enjoying himself so he pays $114 for entertainment. But realizing he can’t go out without clothing, he pays $150 a year and looks fairly sharp.

branded as “ridiculous” today charges they are negotiating. Megally. : The “illegal negotiation” accusation- was made by the United Steelworkers Union (CIO) in! connection with the month old! strike that has reduced the nation's output ‘of steel to a trickle. A spokesman for the six steel companies involved, with others, In the dispute said: | “The union apparently will go| to any length, ridiculous though it may be, in its effort to force employees in the steel industry to Join the union. i “This mammoth steelworkers’| union has over a thousand labor! contracts in steel and other in-! dustries and over a million mem-! bers. Yet it now complains be-! cause six companies, after discus-! sion with the union and with its| complete acquiesence, chose to negotiate with it jointly. i “Unable to bring about an agreement involving compulsory, unionism, the unioh now makes| the falge and ridiculous claim the! companies are negotiating ille-| gally. The union’s real complaifit| is it has been unable to make the! steel industry toe the mark. { “If the law permits a single union to control the negotiations of an entire industry and to shut it down at will, it is inconceivable! that the law prohibits joint negotiations by the companies in the industry.”
