CHART YOUR COURSE?
Pictured here are the records of four "'life lines” of our busi-
ness-four things which largely control the destiny of any business,
whether it be a farm, a factory or a store. They are Wages, Mate-
rials Costs, Prices, and Profits. Suppose these were pictures of
what is going on in your own affairs. How would you chart your
future course from these facts?

With the proposed increase, wage rates
will have risen from $0.85Vi per hour in
1941 to $1.33'/2 in 1946—a gain of
56.1%. Weekly average would be $53.40.
By the end of 1945, prices on all com-
modities other than farm products and

Using U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics with
1941 prices equaling 100, prices of farm
machinery in 1945 were only 104.9.
What about wages?
Wages have risen steadily for five
years. Before the strike which be-
gan on January 21 in ten of our
plants and which has choked off
nearly all farm machinery produc-
tion, earnings of employes of these
plants averaged $1.15)4 an hour,
hot including any overtime. The
Union demanded a 34 cents per
hour increase and a Government
board has now recommended a
general increase of 18 cents an
hour, which would make average
earnings $1.33)4 an hour. Weekly
average would be $53.40.
What about materials?
No one seems to know how high
materials costs will go. The Gov-
ernment has increased steel prices
as much as $12.00 a ton, with an
average increase for all grades of
8.2 %. Steel is the most important
material we buy, but prices on
ether materials are also increasing.
What about prices?
.There has been no general increase
in our prices since they were frozen
by the Government in early 1942.
Since then a few small increases
have been allowed where particu-
lar machines were substantially
changed in design.
What about profits?
(Risk is part of the American profit
land loss system, so we do not, of
J course, ask either our customers
or the Government to guarantee
;that we can be certain of profits
each year. The chart tells the
story of our profits during the war.
Although Harvester produced
more goods than ever before, it
had no desire to get rich out of war,
so our rate of profit has steadily
gone (down. What our 1946 profit
will be is extremely uncertain.
What is the next step?
As you can see, our present situ-
ation is that with frozen prices
and declining profits, we are asked
to pay higher materials costs and
to make the biggest wage increase
in the history of the Company.
Can we do this?
; Wages and materials consume
all but a few cents of every dollar
we take in. If our prices continue
! frozen, and cost of wages and
Profit per dollar of sale has declined
until in 1945 it was slightly less than four
cents, as against 8.4 cents in 1941.
materials continues to rise, obvi-
ously our Company will begin to
operate at a loss at some point.
The exact point at which oper-
ating at a loss would start is a
matter of judgment. Government
agencies and union leaders may
have opinions as to where that
point is. But if they turn out to
be wrong, they can shrug their
shoulders and say: "Well, it wasn’t
my responsibUty. I didn’t make
the decision.”
The management of this Com-
pany cannot and will not say that.
It dares not gamble. It has to be
sure. Continuation of our service
to millions of customers, the fu-
ture jobs of thousands of em-
ployes, and the safety of the in-
vestments of 39,000 stockholders
depend on our making as correct a
decision as is humanly possible.
What about future prices on
farm machinery?
The judgment of Harvester’s man-
agement now is that we cannot safe-
ly make the huge wage increase
recommended by the! Government
until the Government authorizes
adequate increases in the prices
of farm machinery to cover the
resulting increased costs.
That is not a judgment that
makes us happy. The Company
does not want to raise prices. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos-
sible, and we know our customers
prefer to have us do that. We have
produced at 1942 prices, and hoped
we could continue to do so. We
have delayed seeking general price
relief in the hope that it could be
avoided. Now we are convinced
that it cannot be avoided any
longer. The price question must
be settled. Until it is settled we
. do not see how we can settle the
wage question. Until the wage
question is settled we do not see
how we can resume production
and begin turning out the farm
machines which we know our
farmer customers need.
Because of the important stake
which both farmers and city dwell-
ers have in this controversy, we
are bringing these matters to your
attention. Through the cross cur-
rents of today’s conditions, we are
trying to chart a course that is fair
to our employes, to our farmer
customers, and-toourstoeki •.ciders.
