$50,000 a Month Increase In
Wages—Snafu Increased By 900
Men Since War Was Declared
Increase the prosperity of the individual and you increase the
prosperity of the nation. '
The influence thus exerted by the Ford Canadian Company
towards upholding and upbuilding the prosperity of the
Dominion in times when such an influence is intensely valuable
forms a story of real human interest.
This atony is founded on three events:
1. An increase in wages of $50,000 a month,
2. The reduction of working hours from nine to eight.
3. The addition of 900 men to the pay roll sincewor began.
In the Spring of 1915, Canadian manufacturing interests e'cro
In most cases being guided by a policy of retrenchment rather
than of expansion. It was a time when caution seemed the.
better part of valor.
The Ford Canadian executives, however, preferred to look
upon the situation with more optimism. At that time they
were considering putting into effect a higher standard of wages
for their employes. They saw no reason why thoy should stop
the wheels of progress on account of the war, so in April 1915,
the new Ford standard of wages was adopted.
Here was a war -time increase of from 15 to 605 for every
eligible worker int the plant. The average laborer was at once
presented with a $38 a month raise.
It is estimated that this increase distributed anion' 00
2,400 Canadian Ford employes amounts to about $60,CLJ a
month. And bear in mind that their previous rate of pay was
considered good.
So, by April 16, 1916, the Ford Canadian Company will have
given its employee $600,000 in increased wages for one year.
Surely, this is increasing the prosperity of the individual with
a vengeance.
Likewise it increases the prosperity of the merchants from
whom these employes buy. And it increases theprosperity of
the wholesaler from whom the merchants buy and 00 on down
the list, The commission man, the jobber, the manufacturers
In all parts of Canada share in it. And in the natural course of
events the whole nation benefits from this increased distribu-
tion of money.
In the nine leading cities from St. John to Vancouver there
are Ford Branch establishments that are also assisting in this
promotion of prosperity.
In the plant at Ford City there are about 2000 employes
whose places of abode are in the four towns of Forci City,
Walkerville, Windsor and Sandwich. There are 1000 more
employes working in establishments in these four towns whose
output either in its entirety or its greater part is taken by the
Ford plant. Thus 3,000 persons there are dependent upon the
Ford factory,
Lasing an estimate on the fact given in the last census report
that there are five in the average family, this makes a total of
10,000 people that look to the Ford Plant for their support.
In other words half the people in these four towns whose com-
bined population is about 30,000 are directly benefited by the
prosper ity of the Ford Canadian Company.
At the same tine that they received this increase in wages.
th Ford employes were further benefited by a reduction fa
working hours of from nineto eight per day.
Few firms; excepting those working on government contracts,
have found it desirable to add to their number of employes to
any great extent since war began. But so resultful has been the
Ford Canadian policy of full speed ahead, war or no war, that it
has been necessary to take on 900 additional employes since
August 1914.
Has the Ford Company as a Canadian Plant with its own
army of highly paid workers done "its bit" for Canada outside
of boosting her prosperity? Again let us consult statistics.
In contributing to the Patriotic and Red Cross funds, the
emplaycs, officers and stockholders gave $59,304.39 or an aver-
age of $29.G0. The factory workers alone gave $30,410.04 or
an average 07 $18.71 per man. Office employes gave $6,168.60;
everyone, almost without a single exception gave to the absolute
limit. For instance twenty-two girl office employes, steno-
graphers and file clerks contributed a total of $77.50 per month
for 12 months.
The total contribution from the town of Ford with its 2,200
population was $75,776.99 (man average of about $34 per capita
which is one of the largest per capita contributions of any city
or town in the Dominion.
Ford employes are the highest paid automobile workers in
the British Empire. They are paid 3 times as well as the aver-
age Canadian workmen—receiving $1,200 a year as against the
average wage of $435 as given by the last census reports.
Tho Ford Canadian executives have proved to their own sat-
isfaction—and figures make this proof obvious—that the
increased permanency of a man's employment, his increased
skill gained through this longer time of service, and other
factors, fully counterbalance this increased expenditure in
wages,
And so the owner of a Ford car receives a direct benefit from
all this since it results inputting
intoo
his car a skilled le workman-
ship that is moat unusuaand tat goes far towards making the
Ford car the wonderful mechanical production that it is today..
