-3- 3. The International Association of Machinists submitted wage data summarizing minimum wages written into contracts with three manufacturers employing 4,759 workers (Exhibit N), and the wage contracts from which the tabular data were derived (Exhibits K, L, M). A further and more comprehensive table (Exhibit J) covering wage data representing 706 employees was also presented. The Board is of the opinion that the wage data re- ferred to under (1), (2) and (3) above, supplemented by other testimony in the record are sufficient for the finding of the prevailing minimum wage. WAGE STRUCTURE: l. PRODUCT DIFFERENTIALS: An examination of the wage data supplied by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, classified on the basis of products covered, namely, aircraft, engines, propellers, instruments, parts and accessories (Exhibit G), reveals certain differences in the respective wage levels. These differences are readily brought out by determining separately for each product how far the first 25% and the first 50% of the workers reach in the wage scale. This determination may be made by the simple statistical operation of locating the wage interval into which fall the first quartiles and the medians of the wage frequency table. The following table shows the different wage levels existing in the manufacture of the various aeronautical products as determined by the method just set forth:
