STANDARDIZATION
 OF WAGES AS WAR MEASURE PLANNED
Preliminary Conferences With Representatives of Various Trades Held by
 War Labor Board

Washington, July Preliminary conferences with representatives of the various trades are being held by the to standardizing wages throughout the country as a war measure. The board is being assisted by John R. Alpine, vice president of the American Feder- ation of Labor Hugh Frayne, vice representative on the war industries board and Herbert F. Perkins, vice president of the International Harvest CT company.
 relix Frankfurter, chairman of the board, announced today that confer ences already had been held with rep resentatives of the metal and build ings trades and that the board is pro- ceeding as rapidly as the importance of the matter makes possible toward the determination of standards"
 "In seeking standardization" said Mir. Frankfurter's statement, "the prece- dents of unionized industry are be- ing followed, Wages have, of course. long been standardized by Agreements of employers and employees in many industries
 The same kind of standards which the railroad brotherhoods and the rail- oad managers esta ablished in the trans portation systems, the same kind of standards which the organized coal miners and coal operators set up in the well developed coal fields, the same kind of standards which the carpen- ters, the blacksmiths the plumbers, the organized tailors created by agreement with their employers. the war labor policies board is, also by mutual con sent, negotiations for the entire coun- try
 Wage standardization merely means the familiar methods of wage fixing to cover the entire nation. What has been done in many industries, the war labor policies board is planning for the whole people. But. although wage standardization admittedly follows fla miliar precedent, it is solely war measure"
