Then he reeled off the statistics of construction wage settlements which jumped from an average raise of 12.40 per hour in 1962 to 49.60 per hour last year. The unionists cheered wildly. Next the Secretary admonished them to relax apprenticeship restrictions that deny jobs to Negroes. They booed. When he urged building workers to increase their productivity, they booed again.

Once a year he may choose to recuperate at Baden-Baden or some other spa, imbibing mineral waters and immersing himself in medicinal mud at company expense. Other German executives annually are given blank airline tickets for themselves...
