Adoption Of a Detailed
Definite Policy Urged
Thousands Of cosss Soon To
Cross Desks OF 0ffieiols

the substance of policy state
Lment. @
The board still operates un-
der the "little steel formula
but its decisions have been con-
fined to old cases, that is, the
disputes certified to the board
before the executive order OF
Oct. 8. Latest reliable reports
said the board was considering
what amounted to a restatement
of the Little Steel formula, but
without any label.
This would set up a yardstick
for wage increases in line with
living costs within certain spec
flied dates. In addition, increases
would be permitted in order to
remove inequalities, lift SUBJ
standards, or to aid in prose-
cutting the war.
Under the Little Steel formu-
la, the board permitted an ag-
gregate average increase of Is
per cent in wages between Jan.
l, 1941, and May, 1912. This
was known as the cost-of-living
factor. In a couple cases the
GARD disallowed the full
amount, however, on grounds it
would create new inequalities in
a specified area. More often,
however, it allowed additional
amounts to remove inequalities
or to raise substandard wages.
In the western copper cases, the
board allowed a full 81 a day
because of an acute manpower
problem.
Employer members were rep
resented by informed sources as
arguing that the Little Steel for
mula would permit too great an
increase in the inflationary pool
now that the picture has shifted
from one of restraints on labor
demands alone to restraints on
employers, many of whom find
their cash reserves more ample
but their manpower problems
tougher.
In addition, the board policies
will be applied to a vastly great
er number of employers and
workers than it was prior to Oct.
3. Heretofore, the board has
handled only wages, not salaries.
1t operated only in dispute cases.
AS a matter of practise, most of
its cases were directly connected
with the war effort. Now all
these limitations have been re-
moved, except that the Treasury
will regulate some salaries.

During the Malta run the ship

three planes destroyed and four
probably shot down.
The gunnery officer told me
that probably many times that
number were shot down.
II don't think our reports
claimed one out of five ferries

that you don't have time to see

you switch to a new target. Or
you may have a dozen ships

War Labor Board still wrestled

Employer members of the tri-

tDissributsd ~ The Associated Press)
y WITH THE BRITISH HOME
FLEET, Nov. S = When a great
warship fires her big guns, the
act Is much more complicated
than merely aiming the barrel
and pushing a button to set off
the shell.
For the past week I've been
watching the cycle of load-aim-
fire with the British Home Fleet
at q northern naval base. I've
watched automatic rifles, rapid
fire ack ack, four inch naval
guns and all the way up to the
l4-inch rifles of the flagship,
King George v.
First, I inspected one of the
gunshafts of the two-gun Blur
ret of the King George v.
started at the bottom, down in
the bowels of the ship, where the
shells and charges are kept in
magazines as far as possible
away from enemy attack.
Automatic hoists clamp down
in a shell in q bin and lift it to
hoist serving either of the two
guns.
Up q narrow ladder I squeez-
ed past machinery which filled
every availa b e corner and
found the hoist controls at an
other level. Still higher were
charges of cordite moving from
their own magazines to join the
shells. They shuttle across new
hoists to another level where
they are rammed from the hoist
into q carrier which arranges
them into the proper positions:
first, the shell itself, then two
charges of cordite, each in its
own metal container that looks
something like a giant flashlight
battery.
VAST EQUIPMENT
The carrier weighs some tons
and moves q few feet on rails to
a final hoist which lifts it up to
the gun breech.
There It Is rammed home, au-
tomatically, and the hoist drops
down for another load.
The chief petty officer told
me that most of the gun crews
were veterans who had been in
the turrets when the King
George v fought the Nazi dread
naught Bismarck.
After that inspection I trans
ferred from the 35, OOO-ton flag
ship to the 900 ton destroyer
Ledbury, commissioned only this
year.
The Ledbury already has
proved herself on the MUIR
mansk and Malta convoy runs.
