Crossroads of the Kootenays” CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 14, 1959 Tug-0'-War By LEWIS MILLIGAN “The progress of human. soc- iery consists In the belter and ‘hotter apportoining of wages to work.” : That was written by ‘Thomas @arlyle, the Scottish philosopher, akout the middie of the nine , 4eenth century, when wages were out of all proportion to work, and poverty was the lot of the workers of England. There were yet to tell whether productivity rises enough to cover increased wage costs.” . As I see it, there has been a constant tug-o'-war going on bet- ween organized labor and indus- try, ‘and while labor appears to have won in this contest by ob- taining higher and higher wages and fringe benefits, the general public has suffered through high- er prices, which have reduced the puchasing power of their wages, salaries, pensions, ete. Industry cannot guarantee in advance a continual rise in wages, any more than it can assure a similar rise in profits to meet Its maintenance, depreciation and extension -re- quirements. Any Increase in pro- duction costs means higher pric- es for the products, which in turn deplete the buying power of the dollar and cancel out the wage increases of the workers them- selves, ~ The Guide and Brownie As- sociation wish to thank all those who made their annual event|f such a success, Guides, Brownies Hold Mother's ‘Day Tea.
