Toint Confub Held

Union And Manufacturers
Meet In Two-DdY Session

| Pnlladelphla tlLNS). - All tliiei'

saving the furniture manufacturing in
dustry, arranged by the CpholsterS
International Union, AFL, was at
tended by leading manufacturers from
all over the United States when IL
| opened for two-day session Sept. IS
ut the Benjamin Franklin Hotel here.
The conference, which had the ap-
proval and cooperation of the Furni-

was held because of the War Produc-
ton Boards General Limitation Or
der L-135, under the terms Of which
ION and after Nov. | of this year no
wood upholstered furniture manufac-
turers shall process, fabricate, work on
or assemble any new wood upholstered

steel other than joining hardware, and
which prohibits sales by steel uphOl-
Stery springs manufacturers of steel
wire or fiat steel to be used in the pro
duction of steel upholstery springs to
other wood upholstered furniture
manufacturers"
Paralysis of Industry Seen
Enforcement of this order is eX-
pected to paralyZe an industry upon
which thousands of wage ealnerS di-
rectly engaged i'm the manufacturing
process are dependent. This does not
take into consideration the thousands
of retail furniture houses and other
employees who also will be adversely
| affected.
In view of the fact that the quantity
of steel needed for upholstered furni-
ture amounts to about $1,000 tons of
iron and steel annually, officials of the
union and the representatives of the
manufacturers hope to be able to pre-
vail upon the War Production Board
to ease the rule so as to save the
industry.
Sal B. Hoffman,, president Of the
Cpholsterers' International Union, in
speaking of the conference, said:
'This is the first time in the history
of the furniture industry that Il joint
conference of labor and management of
this character will be held. The flood
of replies which we received from EN-
ployerS in the industry, voiced ap-
proval of the initiative of our organ
iZation in arranging for this conference.
Hopes For Government Help
I'VE sincerely hope that as Il result
of this meeting, the War Production
Board, in the face of our united ap-
peal, will help to save the furniture
manufacturing industry. We hope Il
convince the authorities that the
amount of the necessary war materials
saved as Il result of the present order
! will not in the long run be of sufficient
vital Importance to the actual winning
of the war: while on the other hand the
continuance of Il supply Of Il minimum
dustry will enable both the manufac
turerS and the wage earners engaged
therein to continue to give substantial
financial aid to the war effort through
the continued payment of income taxes
and the purchase of war savings bonds
'Furthermore, because upholSterins
is all skilled handwork and require,
no machinery, ii is almost impossible t'
convert such plants to war work
Therefore, this industry is faced Will
total destruction unless the government
