and motors and steel cannot be

and labor planning. This task goes
to Sidney iHllman, vice-preSident
Of the Congress of Industrial Or
CARNATIONS. Hillman also will have
the task of training 100000 youths

army, and the civilian conservation
corps enrollees who are TO get new

Mr.. Roosevelt is anxious that
there shall be no. waves of strikes
In national defense industries, and
Is equally determined that workers
shall have their full legal right to
organize. 1t will be Hillman's Job TO
help iron out labor difficulties,
guarding against stoppages In key
defense industries. New deal wage
and hour standards will not be re-
Taxed The training programs to be

TRANSPORTATION
When labor has mined the raw
materials, and management and
labor have fabricated them into fin
ished products, the Job Of moving
the goods will be turned over to
Burlington Railroad President Ralph
e. Budd who, using the presidents
description, will represent the gov
eminent on one side OF double
desk, across from John j, Pelley,
president OF the Association OF
American Railroads and representa-
tives of private transportation in
terests
When Stettinius has 100 900 tons
of iron ore TO move from the pit
heads OF Mnnesota's Mesabi range
to the smelters Of Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois, for example. he will notify
Budd. Budd clears the order to Pei
ley who puts full responsibility on
private carriers to provide sufficient
freight cars, boats, or trucks TO move
the ore on schedule. Budd and Pei
ley together will see TO 1t that trans
portation bottle necks" are kept at
q minimum, because railroad officials
along with Mr.. Roosevelt, hope to
avoid government operation In this
or succeeding emergencies. They re-
alize, Mr.. Roosevelt said, that the
chances are 100 TO against return
OF the roads TO private hands II the
government again takes them over
as 1t did In the World war.
PRICES
Price fixing Is not under consid-
Grafton now, but three Of the seven
commissioners will give close attcn-
ton TO prices OF agricultural prod
uctS, industrial raw materials, and
consumers goods.
Chester G. Davis Of the Federal
Reserve board Is given the Job OF
watching agricultural prices, These,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, should continue
to work toward parity-the pre-
World war levels-but should not
sky-rocket as they did during the
last war Supplies arc more than
adequate because OF depleted foreign
markets.
Miss Harriet Elliott of the Uni
yersity OF North Carolina will look
after consumers prices, and Leon
Henderson, securities and exchange
commissioners, will watch raw ma
terial prices. Both OF these are UNI
der control now, Mr.. Roosevelt said
For the present, Miss Elliott, Hen
derson and Davis will be little more
than statisticians keeping watch
over price trends, but their powers
would be multiplied II repetition
