of the War Labor Board allowing
operators of the two largest compa-
nies-the Postal and Western Union
the right to organize. The Postal
acceded to this decision; the Western
Union turned 1t down.
Although complaints against the
Western Union on hours and wages
are still pending before the board, the
enforcement Of its award to the men
on unioniZation is now up to the
President. This was made plain sew
eral days ago by Frank P. Walsh,
joint chairman Of the board, before
he left for Bridgeport on a threat

still reserves the last word in the
matter through the war powers he
possesses. 1t is said.
Representatives of the union have
charged that the Western Union

Base prices for wheat are advanced
