u. S. Labor Board
To Fix Standard
Wage as War Move
Chairman Frankfurter, in
Telling Progress, Says
All Are Cooperating
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, July %. - Progress
by the War Labor Policies Board in the
establishment OF standardized wages in
all the more important American in
dustries was announced by Chairman
Felix Frankfurter.
For several days the War Labor Pol
lcies Board has been comforting with
representatives cf union labor and VITA
representatives of industrial manage
ment concerning the national standard
izaticn of wages" Mr.. Frankfurter said
to-day.
an seeking Standardization the prec-
edents of unionized industry are being
followed. Wages have, of course, long
been standardized by the agreements of
employers and employees in many in
dustries
Wage standardization merely ex-
tends the familiar method of wage fix
ing 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 fol
lows familiar precedent, it is solely
war measure.
The President has said that indus
try plays as essential and as honorable
role IN this great struggle as do our
military forces. With that fact in
mind, employees ard employers nave
discussed wage standardization with
the War Labor Policies Board. Except
as war measure, it frankly would not
have been considered.
Is Purely War Measure
The need for increased production
of war stuffs through stabilized in
dustual conditions has, furthermore,
long been so apparent that Congress.
on Its own initiative. without the advice
and even without the knowledge of the
War Labor Policies Board, instructed
the Policies Board to standardize
wages.
But, although the showing made by
the Army, Navy and Fleet corporations
was overwhelmingly convincing, the
Policies Board would have hesitated TO
ask labor TO make whatever sacrifice
wage standardization involves, If the
proper safeguards had not been erected.
II protiteering had been allowed to 90
on unchecked and the cost OF living
had not been controlled, standardiza-
ton would not have been right.
Congress, through the taxes on ex-
cess profits; the War Industries Board
through its price dxing; the President,
through the veto OF S240 wheat have
prepared the way for standardization
OF wages Additional methods Of keep
ing down the cost Of living are being
Investigated at this time
All Against Proiteerins
All these measures. past and pend
ing, have revealed the determination
of the American people TO let no one
make money out of the war. What
prlee fixing means for the manufacturer.
wage standardization IS 70 The workers
Of the country
That means plainly that just as
the price fixing committee taEes into
account the cost OF production and
proper profit, SO wage Standardization
must be built upon an accurat. knowl-
edge Of the cost Of living AMI lust
estimate Of what makes up the right
American standard
Upon these general grounds the
War Labor Policies Board is advancing
as rapidly as the gravity OF the problem
pernsts to the establishment OF
standard wages Every one xno has
a real interest at stake will be CON
suited"

ANARCHISTS THREATEN FRANCIS
VIII Hold American Diplomat Re-
sponsible for Safety OF Berkman
and Goldman.

Washington, Jan. 30.--Am bassa
dor Francis at Petrograd cabled the
State department today that group
of Russian anarchists had notified !
him he would be held personally re-
sponsible for the safety Of Alexander
Bcrkman and Emma Goldman, under
prison sentence in the United States
for violating the draft law.
No indication as to the probable
power OF the threatening anarchists
TO make trouble for him was given
by the ambassador State department
officials think he did not take the
matter very seriously and apparently
little alarm Is felt here.
Unless further advices make 1t nec-
essery no instructions will be giver,
Mr. Francis. 1t has been known for
some time that anarchists In Petro-
grad were interesting themselves in
the fate of Berkman and Miss Gold
man. who are about to begin two
years terms in n federal prison. An
anarchist organ published Mt Petro-
grad recently carried an infiammatory
article urging that the American am
bassador be held responsible for the
safety and freedom OF the prisoners.
