JAPANESE DRIVE
 AHEAD IN MALAYA
Continued from Page D

Dispatches reported, however, that there had been no new landings as yet and it was asserted that on the west coast Japanese penetration had been effected on only small scale, with the umpire lines holding we'll
 It was indicated that on both the west and east coasts, Empire troop concentrations had been strength ened at possible landing points and it was said that confidence was was growing that the Empire troops could hold line above Kuala Lam- pur, inland from Port Swettenham and about 200 miles from Singapore.
 Dispatches reported that Japanese casualties were mounting in pro- portion to their gains as British fire power steadily increased.
 Behind the British lines, food was being distributed in large quan- titles to Malayan and Chinese civil ians so they could disperse in the jungles out of teh way of Japanese airplane attack.
 Though confidence was still ex- pressed that the Japanese would find their path more and more diffi- cult with each mile they might gain, hope was strong that the Allied army in Burma, reinforced now by Chinese troops, might soon attack through Thailand.

 Answering his own question, he went on: You can tell the cock eyed world they wouldn't. They'de rather stay in a steam-heated of- flee figuring out more way to keep the firemen from getting a break"
 Said a ranking officer: How would a couple of fires like this be if the city did what the Taxpayers Association wanted and cut down the number of firehouses and fire mem"
 The firemen were unanimously bitter against the association for taking "credit" in its annual report for defeating a wage boost for them. Time after time reporters were told by firemen rushing by: "Tell this to the Taxpayers Association.

BONUS DISPUTE
 WILL BE AIRED
Frank Ward Named Medi= atOr for Negotiations Be-
 tween ScOvill's, Union

A meeting between Scovill Mfg. officials and members of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers union, a c. l. o. organization, will be held to- night at 8 o'clock in the latter's quarters on Bank street in which an adjustment of wage and bonus dispute will be discussed.
 Commissioner Frank Ward of the U. s. Cancellation Service has been assigned to negotiate settlement in the dispute, union officials an- nounced. A telegram received from Dr. John R. Steelman, head of the federal agency, said Commissioner Ward would be here to act as mediator.
 The union spokesman said the tel egram did not say when Commission CT Ward would try to effect an ad- justment of the issues.
 A 10 per cent-an-hour increase was petitioned by the union 8 few weeks ago with a two week bonus for hour ly and piece workers. The dispute was then submitted to the state board of mediation and arbitration and the unions demands were heard, but the union charged the company refused to agree to arbi- tration.
 Scovill's, which Alan c. Curtiss represented, and union spokesmen had the controversy referred to the conciliation service when neither would consent to arbitration.
 MT. Curtiss would not discuss the union complaint, adding the policy was not to talk about negotiations while in the process of settlement.
 The c. I. O. officials in tele- gram to Dr. Steelman, charged the company adopted an "uncompromis- ing attitude" which created discon- tent among factory workers.
 The union also said it has sent letter to President John H. Goss, asking in addition to the pay raise, wage rates of 62 cents an hour for women and 72 cents an hour for men.

Sometimes it is pretty easy to look into the future.
 Right now, for example, everyone knows that because of priorities and increasing scarcity of essential materials, some va rieties of merchandise are already mob- tainable. Naturally this brings higher prices all along the line
 Furthermore, with production of automo- piles and many other items completely stopped, consumers will have more money to spend for other things like furniture, etc., increasing the demand for such mer- chandise and inevitably affecting the cost And then there is the up in wages. No one begrudges the workers more pay, unless perhaps strike holds up defense produc- tion. But higher wages must necessarily increase the cost of goods.
