One of this group. Representative

appealed to Democratic House lead
ers at an informal fiscal policy con-
ference yesterday to indorse forma-
ton of joint Senate House Budget
committee, but was reported to have
received scant encouragement.
Representative Woodrum. an ap-
preparations committeeman. said
that unless a group were established
to coordinate Federal income and
expenditures, appropriations would
run away with themselves"
Il think we have gone along on
this hit-and-miss program long

We Democrats have a big majority
IN the House and it's simply funda-
mental that we should agree on a
fiscal policy.
It's absolutely indefensible II we
don't balance the budget on regular
expenditures and if we don't do it
now 1t will never be done"
The Virginian addressed his ap-
peal to Speaker Rayburn, House
majority Leader Mccormack. Repre-
sentative Boland of PENNSYLVANIA,

The conferees agreed informally
that the question would be discussed
again this week soon after the Presi-
dent submits his budget message.
In talking of amending the excess
profits tax law, Senators pointed out
that corporations now have the op-
ton OF paying levies on all net
profits above per cent of their in
vested capital, or paying levies on
net income above 95 per cent of their
average earnings for the 1936-l939
period.

had served on 1t before the work

had served on 1t before the work
was done.
Its creation had arisen solely out
of the needs of the situation.
Samuel Gompers, the veteran labor
leader, was serving on the advisory
commission to the council for ma
tional defense. Much of labor had
pledged support during the emer-
| gency. But each production agency
of Government was handling It's
own labor problems. After the board
was created, it referred some of its
cases to 18 different governmental
agencies for final disposition. Labor
policies differed not only among
| departments of the Government,
but among different bureaus of the
same department.
Competition in war industries. diff
ferent wage scales for skilled labor
brought constant shifting of that
labor. There was no satisfactory
system of employment exchanges to
allocate labor according to needs.
Housing was inadequate in many
places. Wages Jagged behind living
costs. Strikes increased.
The plan for the board grew out
Of demands for unification OF
labor policy which fell into the LAP
of the Council of National Defense
from several quarters at once. Sew
eral meetings were held in inter-
ested quarters and the board was
the result.
A presidential proclamation gave
the board jurisdiction in all con-
troversies "in the field of produc-
ton necessary for the effective con-
duct OF the war" and in other fields
that affected such production. But
there were important industries ir
which arbitration boards were al
ready operating, and which fell out
side the jurisdiction of this one
Among these were the shipbuildine
and coal industries.
Decisions Revealing.
Many of the boards decisions are
revealing in the doctrine they pre-
scrlbed. In its most contentious
cases, 1t ruled that there should be
no strikes or lockouts during the
war. 1t said both employer anc
employe had the right to organize
and bargain collectively. 1t banned
interference with union activity
prescribed methods of obtaining
collective bargaining in many cases
1t worked out election plans anc
arranged for shop committees tc

classifications, working conditions

tice systems.
1t ordered that women be giver
equal pay for equal work when they
were hired to fill jobs vacated by
men. 1t recognized the eight-houl
day as applying in cases covered BY

the existing law, said hours else-
where would be governed by gov
ernmental needs and the welfare
health and proper comfort OF the
workers. In several cases, 1t or
dered the 48-hour, 6-day week
said any time in excess OF that
should be overtime and paid for
at the rate of time and half, with
double time pay for work on Sun
davs and holidays.
In cases where the men asked
for them, however, it awarded nine
hour days. 1t did the same when
both sides asked for such a day.
Yet, 1t frequently refused In several
cases to order a 48-hour week when
men were working longer than that.
In one of these. steel workers were
doing five 12-hour days OF work a
week.
Often Set Wage Scales.
Often 1t set wage scales for dozens
of classiflcations of workers in an
industry. And its decisions reached,
often, far into the interior and
hidden recesses of industry to order
such things as:
Overtime pay for travelling on
overtime hours: that plenty of
drinking fountains, toilets and
lockers be provided employees; that
drinking fountains be iced between
May Is and October Is; that venti-
lators be installed and heat sup
piled; that time spent travelling to
and from lunch be on company
time; that employees in a mine have
20 minutes for lunch underground
machinists have 80 minutes. street
car employees, As, and that meat
cutters have an hour.
Thus, the scope of the boards
powers was broad. It's awards af.
fected 100 establishments and ILL.,
500 persons directly, many more In
directly. Often a case decided fol
one establishment would serve as
pattern for the whole lndustr,
which greatly widened the effect
of the boards decisions.
Many of the powers held by the
War Labor Board dropped into the
law which less than 20 years Later
created the present Labor Relation!
Board. There they lie ready fol
use now. But, beyond those are
many war powers that lie latent, o.
new powers which have been en-
bodied into legislation during the
last 10 years.

War Board Powers
To Stamp Out Disputes
BY Labor Still Exist
Functioned as Court of
Mediation, and Members
Influence Was Great
BY the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
Virtually all of the powers by
which the Government stamped out
labor disputes during the World
War, when industry and workers
teamed up to perform miracles OF
production, lie ready for use in the
present emergency.
A National War Labor Board func-
toned then as court of mediation.
In the 16 months that it was a
going concern, its record shows 1873
instances in which strikes or lock-
outs were averted or called of as a
direct result of the boards interven-
ton. Men who were connected with
the old board say-and the records
seem to bear them out-that the
influence and prestige of the board
went far toward preventing many
others that do not appear on the
record.
1t made 554 awards, grinding them
out at the rate of a little better
than one a day, dealing with almost
every conceivable form of labor dis
pute. And despite that the board,
of itself, had no power to enforce
its decisions, outstanding resistance
appeared only three times. In each
case, one or another agency of the
Government crushed that resistance
summarily.
Cases Were Exceptions.
But the three cases were the ex-
ceptions. They were the supreme
tests met by the board in which
recalcitrant industry and labor, alike
felt the compelling clutch of the
governmental hand. And, in COM
position, the board spoke with a
voice that was half industry, half
labor
On one day it would be presided
over by able, portly William Howard
Taft. the former President, chosen
by the industrial members of the
board as their chairman. The next
day Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City,
acting for the employe members
of the board, would WELD the gavel
On one side of the table were five
industrialists; or the other were five
spokeSmen for labor.
These II would thresh over the
arguments and beat out a decision.
But. in cases in which the board
could arrive at no decision the
problem would be referred to an
umpire drawn from a panel of 10
persons, designated by President
Wilson to act in that capacity. One
of the 10 was Henry Ford. The
membership of the War Labor
Board, itself, changed several times
from first TO last. Thirty seven men

brought about by the defense pro-
gram-such as steel and railroad
firms-would escape paying excess
profits because of the size of their
invested capital.
To meet this situation, he said it
might be advisable for Congress to
study the question of lowering the 8
per cent normal profit limitation
to or 6 per cent.
At the same time Senator George
said Congress must be careful not to
push business rates so high that
industries other than those sharing
in the defense production would be
throttled.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In the Pacific Ocean, about 300
miles from the coast of Costa Rlca,
Is piece of land called Cocos
Island. 1t is not very large, but
1t is noted for stories of treasure
buried there.
When I relate those stories, please
know I do net say there is any
treasure there, or ever has been.
What I shall do is to go over some
of the tales which others have told.
Cocos Island has 18 square miles.
1t seems to have been thrown up
from the sea long ago by eruptionS
of a volcano. There is mountain
peak on it more than half a mile
above sea level. Another peak is
1874 feet high.
Shrubs and trees grow on Cocos
Island, and in some parts they are
thick. There also are small rivers
and creeks with fresh water, but
in general the place is not well
suited for people to live there. In
all the time it has been known,
1t has failed to draw a lasting
settlement. Man treasure hunters
have gone there, but few have
stayed for a period of years.
In past times pirates used Cocos
as stopping place. This seems to
be a fact, though the matter of
treasure is another question.
The best known story is about
a pirate named Benito Bonito. He
is supposed to have been Portu-
guese, and to have carried on his
