j. ). 10 Determine
Labor Transfers in
All War Industry
Job Freezing Planned
To Halt 'Piroting' Of.
Men by RivoI Plants

In a drastic move to halt labor
"pirating." the War Manpower
Commission within the next few
days will make public a state
ment of policy designating the
United States Employment Serv-
ice sole hiring agent for certain
critical war industries.
The new policy, decided on in
principle at the commissions meet
ing yesterday, would amount to
freezing" some men on their jobs
since they could not change jobs
without going through the employ
ment service.
A spokesman for the commission
said he did not believe legislation
was necessary to enforce the new
employment procedure. Labor. he
said. had already agreed to come
along. However, labor leaders with
held comment. 1t was thought war
industry employers would be agree
able since all of them will be equally
affected, he said.
Labor Priorities List.
Now being drafted, the commits
sion spokesman said, was list of
critical war industries for which
the employment service would have
sole hiring privileges on a priority
basis.
Wholesale "pirating," on offers of
higher wages, the spokesman said,
has been going on particularly in
the aircraft industries. Under the
new procedure, management would
ask the employment service for ad-
ditional labor instead of attempting
to attract it from other industries.
In some quarters the opinion was
expressed that a simpler method of
dealing with the "pirating" method
would be to incorporate a wage
fixing provision in war contracts
that would prevent industries from
offering rates to attract workers
from other industries. 1t was felt
that the President has the right
to do this under the War Powers
Act.
Wage Sterilization Studied.
Wage sterilization has been under
study by an interdepartmental COM
mittee for the past month, but no
conclusions have been announced.
william Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said
it was "a pretty drastic order ap-
parently" and added he would COM
ment no further until he had stud
led it.
C. I. o. President Philip Murray
called a meeting of the organiza-
tion's War Mobilization Committee
for Monday to decide C. I. o. policy
on the forthcoming order. Walter
Reuther of the Auto Workers, John
Green Of the Marine and Shipbuild-
ers' Union and Clinton Golden of

mittee members.

.0PACIaims Over 100
Black Market Gas
Violations in D. t..
Checks in Nearby
Areas Expected to
Swell Number

A spokesman for the Office of
Price Administration stated last
night that more than 100 violations
had been uncovered at filling sta
tions, garages and parking lots in
the District in the current drive to
enforce gasoline rationing regula-
tions.
While no figures were available,
reports from the enforcement cam
paign in nearby Virginia and Mary
land were expectde to swell the total
considerably The infractions of
rationing regulations were discov-.
cred here by investigators who had
checked only about $50 gasoline
outlets.
Although criminal action probab-
ly will be resorted to in the most
fragrant cases, the spokesman said
that some will be thrown out since
shortages discovered in a number of
stations obviously were due to evapo-
ration of gasoline.
To Give Hearings.
% OPA will conduct hearings in most
Of the cases, he said, to determine
whether future deliveries of gasoline
to the stations will be suspended.
Although the drive was initiated
by OPA throughout the East last
Saturday, following reports OF "tre-
mendouS black market traffic in IS"
coupons used by commercial vehi-
cles, the official said the investiga-
ton here showed comparatively few
violations of that type. He added
that most infractions here were of
the following types:
l. Plain cases of shortages in fill
ing stations, indicated by lack of
balance between gasoline inven-
tories and station records.
Extra Coupons on Hand.
g. Stations had more coupons on
hand than there should have been. |
The extra one presumably were for
use of motorists who wished to buy
gas without coupons.
3. Stations had accepted coupons
from motorists before they were
due.
There was widespread evidence,
the official continued, that gas
station attendants were accepting
loose coupons from motorists. He
pointed out that rationing regula-
