THE increases would be In

said, the new scale would meet

In citing 1941 profits as a basis
for higher wage demands. Last
year was a peace-time year.
Now engaged in 100 per cent
war production, Anderson said
profits would be cut In half.
1.-THE union shop asked by
the UAW-CIO would, in eff
feet, force the corporation to
discharge skilled workers for
non-payment of dues.
CITES OBJECTIONS
Enforced dues payment would
add nothing to war production.
Anderson held. but would. on the
contrary. result in loss of dis

costs and reduced war output"

ing $1,000, 600 munitions daily and
