How to Make Wages Go Up
Mussey, Henry Raymond | October 31, 1923 issue

The article discusses the book "The Control of Wages," by Walton Hamilton and Stacy May. Most economists think that wages are fixed by God, though they call it His natural law, or productivity, or something of that sort. Most business men, when they think about the question at all, think the same thing. They think that the trade unions are likely to raise them very little by the methods hitherto followed, and they have written an extraordinarily suggestive little book for the express purpose of pointing out to the unions possible sources of future wage increases and possible methods of realizing such increases. This is a new sort of wage theory.
