Increase in Wages
Al Aircraft Plants
In u. ). Indicated
Committee Of Is Meets
For Sterilization TuIks
On Pacific Coast
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July Paul r.
Porter, wage stabilizer for the War
Production Board, indicated that
warplane builders may expect pay
boost as a committee of 16 met to-
day to discuss wage schedules for all
Pacific Coast aircraft workers.
Wage increases granted since the
President outlined his program to
control living costs on April 27 have
been made, first, to raise sub
standard wages or, second, to elimi-
nate ineGuities in various classical
tions," he said. "A proper wage
stabilization program involves ad-
justment of wage inequalities to pre-
vent migration.
Labor representatives at the con-
ference, which began yesterday, re-
ported that shipyards wage scales
of 95 cents to s1.50 an hour are 20 to
30 cents an hour more than that
paid to airplane builders for COM
parable work.
Aircraft Leaders Statement.
A few days ago w. G. Tuttle,
chairman of the Industrial Relations
Committee of the Southern Cali
fornia aircraft industry eight
major companies), issued this state
ment:
"The manufacturers recognize
that living costs have increased since
the last general wage raise for air
craft workers In this region during
the summer Of 1941. Accordingly,
we favor a sterilization program
which will take into consideration
these increased living costs, without
breaking the bounds Of imitation
control. ="
The manufacturers gave no hint
as to what rises they might sug-
gest. The eight are Consolidated and
Ryan at San Diego and Douglas,
Lockheed, North American, North
rop, Vega and Vultee in the Los
Angeles area.
Three Objectives.
Mr. Porter told the conference
the three objectives should be:
Il. To avoid wage increases which
might be inf1ationary or which |
might stimulate wage advances in
other industries.
20. To improve good labor rela-
tions within the industry and to
prevent, because Of inequities in
classifications or for other reasons,
any unrest which might retard pro-
duction.
IS. To explore ways and means by !
which we can develop and main
tain a stable labor force with mini
mum labor turnover and migration
and the best opportunity for proper
training of workers"
He warned: eve must take into
consideration the various instru-
mentalities which the Government |
is using to make stabilization func-
ton properly. We are not
here to dictate or to set wage scales
by administrative fiat or to threat
en- you with coercion II cooperation

Driving Shows Drop
as Gas Sales Fall;
Gast's Cars Decrease
BY SILER FREEMAN

You may not believe 1t when
you are driving downtown in the
morning or home in the late
afternoon but there is a definite
decline in the use of the auto
mobile here. The gas dealers
can attest TO this by the drop
in their sales.
The movement for a curfew
on the stations is an indication
of this. The number OF gas
dep0fS now staying open all
night is few. Most are closing
at 8 or 9 p. m. now and a large
percentage have signs that they
stay closed on Sunday. There
seems 10 be no great lnconNcn-
fence 10 drivers.
Another indication is the num-
Der OF gas stations that are
shut. Drive along any thorough
fare now and see the modern,
well-tiitcd stations that are for
rent. II is not so much the
drop In sales but the dcarth of
help that is forcing the stations
