shrieking Imitation" To put more
money in the pockets of workers, they
say, must bring initiation" There is
a limited amount of purchasable con-
sumner goods, they argue, and if there
is more loose money in circulation
than can be spent for available prod
ucts, initiation results.
In other words, let the rich get all
they want and let the worker starve.
There is the secret behind the solid
wall Of opposition to deserved wage
increases! 1t is completely selfish in
motive. The boys that have don't want
to share with those that haven't. They
don't think Americans should be on
even terms. They haven't yet heard
that when a nation goes to war and
things become scarce, all of its citi-
zens must be on an equal footing and
submit to fair and square rationing.
Sure they believe in democracy. But
not when it affects their pocketbooks,
their mansions, their well-stocked lard
ers and their private wine-cellars.
1t is not fear of initiation that's be-
hind the hysterical opposition to wage
increases. It's just the same old greed.

There's a war boom in babies?
Maybe it's draft-dodging, but the basic
explanation is just human psychology.
Women, and men, too, want children
more in war time. They help express
the parents confidence in the future
as we'll as their need for security.
Statistics show there1l be 100000
babies in 1912. Maternity wards are
full-space reserved eight months in
advance, with bigger hospital facili-
ties in the making.

Women
High intelligence is no bar to early
and successful marriage among busi-
ness women, according to a survey of
the occupational status and personal
experience of women graduates of a
leading university's school of business
over 25-year period. Business train
ing and experience are unifying fac
tors in the home, proven by the fact
that 1870 of the husbands always con-
fer with their wives about important
decisions and problems concerning
their work. 1t was also proven that
marriage does not have any direct eff
feet upon the salaries Of working
women. For the most part, ability
and initiative cause women to work,
regardless of marital status. The
charge of occupational instability
often brought against women cannot
justly be made against the group
studied. 1t was proven that women
do not change jobs often once they
have found work that is congenial to
them.

TELECRAPHERS ASK
FOR PAY INCREASE:
POLICY IS OUTLINED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Presi-
dent w. L. Allen of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union has asked the
Western Union Telegraph Company
to open negotiations for Is per cent
wage increase in accordance with the
wage increase policy set forth by the
National War Labor Board in deciding
the "Little SteeP' cases recently.
The boards policy provides for wage
adjustments to meet the approx
mately Is per cent increase in the cost
of living, between January /, 1941 and
May, 1912.
In letter to Ralph H. Kimball,
Western Union vice-president, New
York City, President Allen referred to
the War Labor Boards policy and
said:
according to the new formula
adopted by the National War Labor
Board, 'if any group of workers av-
eraged less than Is per cent increase
in hourly wage rates during or imme-
diately preceding or following this
period (January, 1941-May, 1922,
their established peace-time standards
have been broken and those groups
whose peace-time standards have been
broken are entitled to have these
standards re-established as stabili-
zation factor
'It is doubtful if in any of the cases
in which our organization has nego-
tiated wage increases for the employees
in any particular bargaining unit the
average increase secured for the group
has equalled the Is per cent average
increase formulated by the War Labor
Board to apply as quoted above.
"Unquestionably, Western Union
employees are entitled to at least the
average increase of Is per cent in
hourly wage rates, less an increase
enjoyed since January 1, 1941, and
am writing to ask whether the West
ern Union will agree to meet with a
committee of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union representing all of our
| Western Union locals, to negotiate
the immediate application of the War
Labor Boards wage formula; or
whether the Western Union will insist
on negotiating separately with each
individual local bargaining unit.
with respect to the approximately
$4,000 employees in the Pacific, Lake
and Eastern Divisions (including those
Eastern Division employees located ir
New York City, for whom the Com.
mercial Telegraphers' Union has flee
petitions for certifcation with the
National Labor Relations Board, bu1
for whom we will not be able to ne
gotiate contracts and wage increase!
until we are certified by the Labor
board as sole bargaining agency,
urge the Western Union to immedi
ately apply to new wage formula O
the National War Labor Board so tina
these employees may enjoy the Is PEE
cent wage increase to which they ar
entitled. / believe that these EN-
ployes should not be deprived of thei
wage increases pending ultimate con
tract and wage negotiations"

HEARING DEVICES
 HIT BY SHORTAGE
Govt. Moves to Standard- ize, Increase Production
 of Required Batteries

Hartford, Dec. IS = In a move to remedy a serious shortage of batter ies for hearing aid devices, WIPE has isued an order standardizing the type of battery used in such de- vices. It is hoped that the shortage, resulting from military demand for all types of dry cell batteries. win be relieved in the next two or three months as a result of today's action.
 The order which takes effect March 1. l943. standarizes construc- ton of hearing aid batteries and also permits interchangeability of batteries for vacuum tube type in struments.
 Where in the past large number of different types of batteries win varying terminal designs had been made for use in vacuum tube hear ing aid devices. production is now limited to four batteries of specified voltage ard cells. and terminal a-- engagements are rigidiy restricted to specified designs established by the National Bureau of Standards
 Until May 3l. l043. 90 volt batter tes may be produced with terminals not otherwise permitted by the or der. This will allow liquidation of inventories of finished parts now on hand and also will enable manufac- turers of hearing aid devices using such batteries to convert their pro- ducts to the use of the standard type battery.

more of them women than men. I don't say this to flatter the fair sex. can take care of that pri. vately. But it's possible that if women took over managing the world 1t would be e much better place. It's conceivable they would run things better than the men do, if only because it's inconceivable that they could run them worse.
 The Face of the Future must be the Face of Faith, or mankind will roll once more on the selfish road to ruin. That brought us this war, and if Sherman could call the relatively chivalrous Civtl War hell, what do you think he'd call this onep Regarding doctrine and dogma, men have always differed and divided and always will: but the universal consent of mankind is to @ natural religion of basic brotherhood. I'm no preacher, still less pious -- just like most of us, a part-time saint and overtime sinner. But in cold, objective an- alysis, 6 world ruled by force is Q failure, though our side, the side of faith, will have to maintain force until the jungle peoples are tanned: then, if faith isn't really given Q trial, faith in God and in Men instead of Q mere toast to its de. sirability organized society will resign any right to talk about the lower animals. We know faith has the power to move mountains, we may discover, by practicing trust in humility, that faith has even greater power than that--the power to move men.
