General SHORTAGES
Seen for Civilians
ByEnd Of Year
Cleveland Trust Warns
Everything Must Toke
Back Seat to War
z. the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, July 15.-General
shortages in civilian goods may de-
velop by the end of this year, the
Cleveland Trust Co. declared today.
"We must plan on a period OF
years during which our one big busi-
ness will be war, and most other
businesses will be directly or indi-
rectly subsidiaries of that big one"
said the monthly review prepared
by the banks statistical depart
ment, headed by Brig. Gen. Leonard
P. Ayres, who retired this month as
chief of the War Departments sta
tistical services.
The Army, the Navy, the Air
Forces and the munitions factories
will absorb SO much manpower that
all the other businesses will be
short of it.
Probably shortages in civilian
goods will begin to be generally felt
at about the time that there is q
general realization that the man
power shortage is becoming serious.
1t might well be a safe guess that
these conditions may develop by the
end of this year.
"Of course we already have short
ages of many materials, but except
in the single case of rubber they
have not as yet had much effect on
family life. That condition is sure
to change, and we shall all expe-
rience shortages of goods as we'll
as knowing about shortages of ma
terials. These changes are inevita-
BILE, but we cannot as yet foresee
their nature with much certainty.
They will be diverse and multiple,
and no doubt many Of them will be
unexpected"

Aircraft Wage Rate
Is Nation S Highest,
Industry Claims
Sterilization Conference
Is Told Average Pay
Is $46.75 Weekly
Ey the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Manu-
facturers told an aircraft wage sta
bilization conference yesterday that
their employees pay is higher than
that of industrial workers in the
Nation at large.
The average weekly wage of the
aircraft worker here during May was
$46.75, the plane makers said at the
labor r-management-g government par
ley. They reported the average week.
ly check of all wage earners in
manufacturing industries of South
ern California in May was S43.97
During March, latest period on
which figures were available, the
average wage in all industry in the
Nation was $3615, the conference
was told.
PATERSON, N. j., July Is LP.-A
new contract calling for wage in
creases, which union officials esti-
mated would boost by $5,00O,O0 a
year pay rolls in the five Wright
aeronautical plants in this area, was
approved yesterday by the Wright
Aeronautical Employees Association
Council.
The contract was submitted to the
council after it had been worked out
at conference between William F..
Cam, Labor Department concilia-
tor, and company and union officials.
Cyril Savage, president of the in
dependent union, which claims a
membership of $4,000 production
and maintenance workers in the five
plants, said only two points were not
ironed out at the mediation confer
enee.
They were a general II per cent
increase, which Mr.. Savage said
would correspond with increased liv-
ing costs, and a demand that raises
be made retroactive. Mr.. Cam said
he would recommend these points be
submitted to the War Labor Board
for decision.
