Washington, Sept. 24-The GOV

prevail of representatives of manufac-
turers and labor interests and will be

and manufacturers.
For their part manufacturers Will
be called on TO pay no more and no
less than the standard scale and
workn1en will be asked to abide by
the scale without threats of strike or
other labor disturbances.
If manufacturers refuse to pay the
standard wages. or pay more and
thereby unsettle the community con-
ditions. they might find their supplies
of fuel and materials cut off through
priorities orders. If labor organiza-
tons violate the agreement their
members would be barred from seek
ing work through employment agen-
cies all of which now are government
control.
This plan, as outlined today by Of
fciais of the war and navy depart
ments, would be subject to many va
riations. but the governments power
to insist on a minimum of labor agi-
tation in the interest of war produc-
ton would remain.

ton of that adopted recently by the
