Too Many Waivers!

collected which show what additional
risks the employer takes when he
hires even seriously handicapped
workers. Experienced administrators
of Workmen's Compensation Laws
nationally are of the opinion that the
extra risk involved in the employment
of physically handicapped workers is
greatly exaggerated and that any
such additional risk can be eliminated
by two relatively simple measures:
1. Assignment of workers to
jobs with regard to the existing
physical handicap or defect.
z. Adequate control over plant
safety and health hazards.
Some forty States of the United
States specifically forbid waivers, the
survey shows, because they found that
waivers opened a fruitful field for
speculative or so-called expert
medical testimony, and abolished the
system.
The relationship of the insurance
companies, or firms which carry
their own insurance, to the waiver
system is extremely important, and
will be dealt with in future articles
on this subject.

Very Critical
FoodSituation
Is Predicted
Coop Buyer Says Many
Distributors May Go
Out Of Business

BROOKLYN, N. Vt. G. Cast
ner, buyer for Eastern Cooperative
Wholesale, this week declared that
the food situation is going to be very
critical, particularly for the little
man, in the next few months. THE
result, which I believe is expected,
will be that 1870 to 1870 of the food
distributors will have to go out of
business during the next year." This
situation the ECW buyer said, has
come from food shortages coupled
with narrow margins allowed by the
OPA and price ceilings which in
many items make it impossible to re-
place commodities except at a loss.
"The margins allowed by OPA are
about three-quarters of what the dis
tributors had been able to operate OH
before" Mr.. Cashier pointed out.
''The chain supermarket dis
tributors have lower margins than
most other forms of distributors"
Mr.. Cashier said. ''They have been
set lower margins than others, but
they are going to operate within
those margins or take a loss. The
big ones are able to take loss;
their past earnings over the coun-
try as whole would permit losing
many millions without serious con-
sequences. The little ones will suf-
fer. Any organization that can't get
costs down or doesn't
have reserves to take a loss will
fold up"
Commenting specifically on the CO.
operative situation, Mr.. Cashier then
declared emphatically that Eastern
Cooperative Wholesale is not going
to fold up, nor are our stores going
to fold up. We can't rely on reserves.
We must do it by cutting operating
costs to the bone"

of the N.L.R.B. case," but the panel
recommended that ''the matter
should be finally determined by the
W.L.B."
Jurisdiction was further indicat-
ed, the panel said, by ga decided
feeling of unrest and uneasiness
among the members of the ANAL

well erupt and result in the inter-
ruption of transportation facilities

Read his Carefully:N AreFrozenBy AnyMe

Some employers are trying
to hide behind the National
War Labor Board i'm order to
avoid granting wage increases.
They foster the misconception
that wages are frozen. This is
not the case. The only effect of
the Presidential Order Great
ing the National War Labor
Board, is to subject certain
wage increases TO the jurisdic-
ton of the Board so that the
national policy relating to
wages should be uniform and
apply equally to all.
NATIONAL POLICY
If the average wages i'm a par
ticular plant or industry have not
increased Is per cent between jan
uary /, l94l, and September Is,
1912, an overall wage increase is
merited and is likely to be ap-
proved by the Board. Similarly, if
gross wage inequalities exist be-
tween workers performing the same
jobs, the Board may also sanction
an adjustment. In some cases, pre-
MUM pay for mig hit work has been.
approved. Likewise, women have
been granted equal pay with men
for doing the same work.
Employers should also be reminded
that they do not need the Boards
approval in order to grant increases
under the terms of an agreement or
schedule as d result of individual pro-
motions or reclassifications individual
merit increases within established sal
airy rate ranges, by reason Of an eS-
tablished plan of salary increases
based on length of service, or an in
centive plan providing for increased
productivity.
UNION LEADERSHIP
Wages are not frozen, even though
many employers would like their en-
ployes to think so. Proper and in
telligent use of the National War
Labor Board can make it an instru-
ment for improving working condi-
tons. The leadership of the trade
unions are showing the way in which
this can be done, despite the resist
ance of management in many cases.
The recent declaration of William
Davis, chairman of the National
War Labor Board, indicating that
the Board would be tough on in
creases, should not discourage
unions from urging legitimate de-
mands. Nothing that the unions
have done merited such an implied
rebuke. Rather should the Board
condemn those employers who have
abused its purpose by trying to
choke the files by submitting un-
warranted disputes. Thousands OF
cases have been broght before the
Board by such employers merely to
slow up its machinery.
Chairman Davis would have done
well to condemn such employers in
steaad of indicating that the Board
might take an unfavorable attitude
toward wage increases.

Jap Air Losses in Battle
Aqain 2596 10 Allies None

B, tfe Associated Press.
GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Aug. 25.-
The second air battle in as many
days in which the Japanese lost
more than one-fourth OF their planes
and the Allies none at all was re-
ported in communique from Gen
MacArthur's headquarters today.
OF l3 enemy fighter planes en-
countered over Eastern New Guinea,
it said. four were shot down. others
were damaged and the only Allied
casualty was one plane which re-
turned to its base damaged.
This followed the announcement
yesterday that 13 out of Al enemy
planes were shot down Sunday over
Darwin. Again last night japanese
planes tried unsuccessfully to bonn
bard the far northern Australian
port. Their bombs fell in a swamp,
the 'communique said.
Another failure for enemy await ation
occurred over New Britain, it added,
where two enemy Zero fighters tried
vainly to intercept an Allied recon-
naissance unit and one was last seen
aflre.
In the first action reported
aground In the jungle warfare on
New Guinea since August II, the
communique said Japanese ground
patrols were dispersed at Kokoda,
the point where enemy forces which
landed at Buna and Coma have
penetrated deepest in the overland
thrust toward Allied-held Port
Moresby.
