INCREASES IN WAGES
JAPANESE WORKERS ONLY A PALLIATIVE (10 a.m.) TOKIO, Dec. 18. The Japanese Welfare and Finance Ministries have worked out a plan providing for wage increases for workers, ranging from "0 per cent to 60, retrospective to February 1. The maximum increase is 100 yen per month for the individual and 20 yen a month for each dependant. The increases are called temporary commodity allowances, but they cannot meet Japan’s increases in the cost of living. They are merely a palliative pending a stronger attack on the causes of inflation.
