Of Employees

State, county and municipal gov
ernments may adjust wages and
salaries under certain circum-
stances without prior approval by
the National War Labor Board or
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, the two agencies an
nOunced this week.
Adjustments of wages or salaries
requiring approval will be deemed
approved if the head of the state or
local agency certifes to the Board of
the Commissioner that such adjust
ment is necessary to correct malad-
justments or to correct inequalities or
gross inequities as contemplated by
Executive Order No. $780," the state
ment read. The certificate must de-
scribe briefly the nature and amount
of, the adjustment and other necessary
facts and may be accepted by the
Board or the commissioner, as the
case may be, as satisfactory evidence
of the facts and of the propriety of
the adjustment.
The Board has jurisdiction over
all wage adjustments and over
salaries up to and including SIS, 900,
except where the salary is paid to
an executive, administrative or pro-
fessional employee not represented
by recognized labor union. The
Commissioner has jurisdiction over
all other salaries.
Regulations pertaining to the ad-
Justment of the wages or salaries of
federal government employees are
being prepared and will be issued
soon.

Plumbers Say CostPhs Contracts Waste Much Manboqu

The United Association of
Plumbers and Steamfitters
charges i'm an editorial i'm the
issue of its Journal that the
governments m h o d of
awarding contracts on the
cost-plus-a-fxed-fee basis is
seriously hampering our war
production program.
A tremendous waste of man
power results from a lack of
planning and the disregard
for costs by the contractors,
the editorial states.
MEN KEPT IDLE
More men are hired than are
needed for a job and then they wait
around, some time for months, be-
fore proper tools and materials ar
rive at the job. The chief problem
of the men employed on such Jobs
is to kill time.
AS examples of the manpOwer
waste, the editorial cited the case
of West Coast project where men
who have two years of work ahead
of them are standing around wait
ing for tools and material.
''It is our duty and responsibility

The real source of wasted man.
power is the manner in which most of
the contracts for construction work
has been let" the Journal says.
MAJORITY OF CASES
In the greatest majority of cases
where waste of nanpower was ram
pant, the jobs were let on a coSt-plus-
afixed-fee basis. This was
the prime incentive for many gen
eral contractors to hire many more
men than needed with a consequent
loss of manpower due to overman-
ming job. This ran the cost
of the job up with the resultant in
crease in profits to the contractor"
Competitive bidding for construc-
ton jobs, the editorial submits,
is the way to solve this problem. In
every instance recently investigated
by Rep. Albert ]. Engel of Michi-
gan in report to Congress, jobs
given through competitive bidding
have been completed i'm shorter
period and at less cost than those
given on cost-plus basis.
