Minimum Wage Copstitutional,

Fixed Rate Will Subject
M any Groups To Una
PressureS, Red euctins
By JAMES E. DUNLAP
The setting of minimum wages is
now definitely constitutional accord-
ing to the recent decision handed
down by the Supreme Court, but it is
an entirely different and somewhat
dubious question yet as to whether or
not such acts are unreservedly ad-
visable, particularly if the minimum
is arbitrarily set so as to provide
some worker's standard of living at a
.given amount. This is the opinion
held by Prof. John W. Riegel, di-
rector of the Bureau of Industrial.
'Relations.
Pressure Would Followf
"The pegging of wages for some
labor groups would subject other
groups to unwarranted pressures and
probably disrupt many labor and
business relationships," he declared
in an interview yesterday. "After,
minimum .wages become effective,
declines in the prices of products
would exert. strong pressure upon the
unprotected labor groups receiving
wages above the minimum. Employ-
ers, forced to cut costs, would im-
pose disproportionate reductions in
the rates paid to their executives,
technicians, clerks and unorganized
wage-earners, causing untold diffi-
culties with these essential services."
Professor Riegel continued by
pointing out that if marginal firms,
in the face of price declines, attempt-
ed to operate and maintain wages at
fixed levels, those
proach insolvency.
firms would ap-'
"If fixed mini-
mum wages were iandatory, the
marginal firms presently would have
to curtail operations and lay off
workers to prevent operating loses."
Such unemployment due to a corpor-
ation's insolvency or curtailment of
operations usually is considered more
harmful to society than continued
Prices Might Be Adjusted
Professor Riegel conceded that "if
employment under low wages.
legal miimum wages were enforce-
able permanently throughout the
country, the entire price structure in
the nation might in time adjust it-
self to them. But that development
would reduce the standard of living
for farmers, small business men and
professional and salaried groups."
He explained by saying that this
would be due to the fact that these
classes would be selling their services
and commodities in freely competi-
tive markets, while buying manufac-
tured goods, transportation and oth-
er services, all of which would be
highly priced due to the minimum
wage rates.
Looking at the problem from the
international point of view, Profes-
sor Riegel showed that tariff bar-
riers would be necessary in many
cases to enable domestic organiza-
tions to pay the stipulated minimum
wages and still compete with foreign
products. Without some such pro-
tection foreign industries, not being
obliged to pay their employes such
high wages, could easily undersell the
American producers.
Would Curtzai Production
"Likewise, the high internal prices
of manufactured goods, made neces-
sary by the minimum wage scale,
would discourage a great number of
our foreign buyers. This reduction
in demand for our goods would na-
turally mean that our organizations
would have to curtail production and
reduce employment, with a resulting
ihcrease of the number of citizens on
relief," he concluded.
Professor Riegel believes that a
method of setting minimum wages
is possible without raising prices and
without affecting the standard of
living for the farmers and small
business men, and professional
groups. Such a method would be
directed principally against the pol-
icy of wage-cutting.
An article describing this method
will be published soon.
