gional WLB Chief Lewis Gill. The
was hailed by r. j..
Thomas. UAW-CIO president.

aware of recent criticism of the
delays in deciding disputes

WAGE APPLICATION

WAGE APPLICATION
AT the present time" he said,
"my orders are TO concentrate
on pushing the 500 applications
for wage increases, many from
Detroit, which are now on my
desk.
Until my superiors instruct
me TO cease this work and me-
date strikes there Is nothing
much else I can do.
I've have a limited staff and
are working now daily until
midnight. II we were to spend
our time mediating labor dis
putes, IL would mean we would
not be able to work on the wage
applications, which both the
companies and the unions are
urging with the greatest posi-
BILE speed"
Gill explained that IL was TO ac-
quaint both sides with the WLB
oredicament that the conferences
Are to be held.
THOMAS COMMENT
Said Thomas. in commenting on
he conferences:
I'VE are glad TO cooperate
with any effort for efficient and
continuous defense production.
ut Is time for the WLB to
speed up the machinery and
eliminate all red tape so that
voluntary wage agreements, or
cases OF labOr-management dis
putes may be adjusted within a
few weeks after they are re-
ferred to the WLB.
THE number OF unauthorized
strikes Is being wildly exag-
gerated. Nevertheless there are
tense situations IN some of the
plants,
Il am glad Gill is undertaking
To correct this situation al
though i believe the WLB itself
should enact new policies and
new procedure 10 apply all over
the country"

Many in Hospital

The relief from the cold
weather, brought by Old Man
Winter, will continue today. the
weather man reported, with the
mercury stepping up to about 40
degrees in the afternoon.
AS Detroit's hopes for a White
Christmas went swirling down the
storm sewers, the bureau held
little hope for new snow immedi-
ately and added that warm
weather is likely TO continue
through tonight, which is as far
as government restrictions will
allow them TO forecast.
II was explained that because
OF the intense cold up 10 last
week, the ground is several de-
grees colder than the air, thus
accounting for the phenomenon Of
ice on some streets while the tenn
peratu~e remained above freezing.

Argument Over Repair

Job of New Committee
By HAROLD sCHACHERN

II the Detroit Civil Service
Commission has any new classifi-
cations to hand out, they shouldn't

be "Chief Headache Committee

and rubbish Edwards suggested
the council do something about the
situation and ended up patrolling
the city's back alleys, peering into
garbage cans and inspecting dead
cats.
"For while there was
really the big smell In the city
government" he said.
HERE 1T Is AGAIN
Yesterday one Of the Oldest
labor disputes in the city govern
ment came up for the umpteenthI
time before the council. It con-
cerned the question Of whether
fire truck repairmen should bel
paid more money than repairers' of
ordinary trucks and cars at the
municipal garage.
Councilmen for nearly decade
have contended that it's harder tol
replace a spark plug or overhaul a.
clutch on fire truck than il is on
dump truck and have allowed
fire truck repairmcn 10 cents an
hour more pay.
Recently. during another wage
hearing. Edwards suggested that a
special council committee be set
up 20 investigate all city wages
and hours problems.
