Workers Return to Jobs as Wages Rise Across Industries
American workmen returned to hundreds of jobs on Tuesday as wages rose by 5 to 10 percent at multiple firms. Planters Nut and Chocolate announced a 20 percent pay boost, while others like Supreme Shirt, Armstrong Rubber, and E. L. Cord pledged increases or bonuses. The movement followed Roosevelt’s hints and a $3 billion public works plan, with plants from steel mills to barrel factories resuming operations and adding shifts. England reduced unemployment by 80,000 in April as building, tailoring, and road work sped up amid forecasts of a potential buying panic in auto steel demand.
