The Board concludes from this table that the wages in
the manufacture of engines are somewhat higher than in the other
branches of the industry; and that the wages in the manufacture
of propellers are higher only when the first quartile is con-
sidered. The table shows that for the remainder of the products
the first quartiles fall within the same wage interval: from 52.5
to 57.5 cents. This is evidence of notable uniformity of wages
in the lower quarter of the wage structure, and since more than
three-fourths of the wage earners in the industry are found in
these remaining branches (Exhibit G), only extraordinary consid-
erations could justify the Board in recommending separate
minimum wages for engines and propellers. These considerations
are lacking. On the contrary, the representatives of the
industry gave testimony pointing to the desirability of finding
one prevailing minimum wage for the entire industry (Exhibit F,
p. 9; R 32, 40, 169-70); and they were supported in thoir view
by the International Association of Machinists (R 176).
Evidence showing that a degree of overlapping exists in the man-
ufacturing of various products was also received (R 172-6); and
this fact adds to the urgency of uniformity in the minimum wage.
The Board finds that the prevailing minimum wages in
the various branches of the aircraft industry exhibit a suf-
ficient degree of homogencity to make possible the finding of
?. single rate applicable to the entire industry.
