STANDARD WAGE
is WAR MEASURE
Its Necessity Reluctantly Admit
ted by Those Responsible
for Its Passage.
LABOR is AMPLY PROTECTED
Every Safeguard Thrown Around
Law Made Necessary by the Ext
gencies of War-General News
of Interest in Labor World.

National standardization of wages
as war measure has been the sub
iect Of discussion between the war
labor policies board and representa-
tiyes of industrial management for
several days.
"In seeking Standardization the
precedents Of unionized industry are
being followed" Felix Frankfurter,
chairman of the board said. "Wages
have, of course, long been standard
lied by the agreements of employers
and employees in many industries.
Now it Is planned for the whole peo-
pie. Except as war measure it
frankly would not have been consid-
cred. The president has said that in
dustry plays as essential and as hon
orable a role in this great struggle
as do military ornaments"
The policies board was instructed
by congress to standardize wages, Mr..
Frankfurter said, because of the need
to stabilize industrial conditions, so
that no productive power be wasted.
and the further need for increased
production of warstuffs.
"But although the showing made by
representatives Of the army, navy and
Emergency Fleet corporation was
overwhelmingly convincing" Mr..
Frankfurter added, "the policies board
would have hesitated to ask labor to
make whatever sacrifice wage stand
ardization involves, if the proper
standards had not been erected If
profiteering had been allowed to go on
unchecked and the cost of living had
not been controlled, Standardization
would not have been just.
Congress, through the taxes on ex-
cess profits; the war industries board,
through its price fixing by the presi-
dent, through the veto of $2.40 wheat,
have prepared the way for standard
ization of wages. Additional methods
Of keeping down the cost Of living
ere being Investigated at this time"
