in the ascent (R 73-4, 81, 89).
(b)
Another company which also employs learners also has
an established minimum of 40 cents an hour. This firm advances
learners 2-1/2 or 5 cents an hour after three months of em-
ployment or less, or transfers them to different work. These
advances continue until 70 or 75 cents an hour is attained in
occupations for which those rates are the maxintum, but the
period between advancement may increase to six months as the
higher wages are approached (R 102-4, 112-13).
(c)
A third company, a manufacturer of aircraft engines,
starts high school boys at 40 to 45 cents an hour and trade
school boys at 45 to 50 cents an hour (R 61), while it starts
machine operators at 50-55 cents an hour (R 62). This company
follows no system of periodic wage advances but incroased the
wages of learners according to thoir ability (R 62). Labor
"off the streot" is considered unsuitable except for employ-
mont as janitors, material handlers, etc. groups which
represent a very small percentage of the total (R 69).
(d)
The International Association of Machinists testified
that one of their contracts provided for a minimum wage of 62.5
cents an hour, applicable to learners or "probationers"
(R
21.4-15). The only exceptions to this rate are bonn fide
indentured apprentices who receive from 40 to 60 conts. The
minimum of 62.5 conts an hour applies to only 22 workers even
though the next wage bracket is 70-75 cents (R 215) which
applies to 479 workers. Anothor contract provides for a hiring
rate of 40 cents an hour for minors and 50 cents for adults
with two 10% increases which have been granted, bringing the
rates to 48.4 cents and 60.5 cents an hour, respectively, for
minors and adults. New untrained employees, however, would
enter at 40 or 50 cents according as they were minors or adults
