Whitney-Blake Workers Inn
pressed By Rockbestos
Increases Won By B-9O

A new response to the Ieafiet
distributed this week by Local BOO,
New Haven Electricians, to the 600
employees of the Whitney-Blake Co.
of Hamden encouraged Interna-
tional Representative Arthur Houle
and Business Manager Joseph T.
Rourke in their belief that these
workers are ready for organiza-
ton. The leafet stressed the gains
won for the Rockbestos Products
Corporation men and women
through collective bargaining and
the fact that Whitney-Blake, a
rival manufacturer, was fully capa-
bic of paying equal wages.
ALL IN ONE UNION
The leahet further emphasized the
fact that all employees from the
sweeper to the skilled mechanic will
be in one union and that minimum
hourly rates for men and women in
Rockbestos are from IS cents to 80
cents higher than those in effect in
the unorganized shop.

Firms Loss No Excuse
For Substandard Wages

DETROIT, Mich. The Detroit
Cleveland Navigation Co. was told by
the National War Labor Board that
operating at loss is no excuse for
paying substandard wages.
The NWLB ordered a raise from
SIS to $178 month for ablebodied
seamen and corresponding increases
for the lines other maritime workers,
bringing scales up to those paid by
other Great Lakes companies.
In granting the raise the NWLB
said it could not order "a wage scale
below the prevailing rate merely be-
cause the employer is unable to pay
the going rate of wages in his labor
market"

Living Costs
Jump q PC.
In Sixty Days
But Labor Warns O.P.A.
To Keep Hands OFF Of
Wage Freezing

While organized labor continues
to break records for war produc-
lion, and more and more factories
were winning the Army-Navy ''E''
for their contributions to the war
effort, the labor movement as a
whole this week became increas-
ingly aware of the fact that the
cost of living is going up, while
such agencies as the Office of Price
Administration and the War Labor
Board are asking for freezing of
wages.
Secretary of Labor Perkins an
nounced this week that the total
cost of food to city families had
advanced by 1870 between May Is
and June Is. This increase con-
tinues the steady upward price
trend of the previous ID months
and offsets the benefits of price
control. The National Conference
Board, a conservative employers
organization, has just announced
that food prices increased another
1870 between June Is and July
ID. This means a total increase in
the cost of living of 2.l@o in two
months.
NO WAGE FREEZING! i
Labor thus finds itself in the
position of supporting the OPA, in
solar as government control of
prices and rents is doing a good
job of holding down prices and
rents, but demanding that the OPA
stop its indirect attempts at wage
control. President William Green
of the AFL, speaking atsthe AFL's
executive board meeting in Chi
cagO, said:
''The OPA has nothing to do
with wages. 1t was created to con-
troll prices of food, clothing. and
rents. 1t should stay away from
other than that
The New Haven Central Labor
Council, at its meeting Thursday,
recognized this situation, and pass
ed a resolution uphOlding OPA,
but saying, in effect, Islands OFF
on Wage Freezing
The recent jump in the cost of
living is largely due to increases
in the price of foods which are not
controlled by OPA.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
The price of uncontrolled
lamb, for example, went up more
than 1919, a much larger in
crease than has occurred in anv
similar period over the past 20
years.
The price of apples, uncon-
trOlled, rose $50 and this inn
pOrtant fruit is now selling at
prices more than 500 above
those charged last March.
Canned fruit and vegetable
prices under OPA ceilings either
remained steady or declined.
Grapefruit juice, not con-
trOlled, rose more than 4 per
cent, and fresh grapefruit went
up 2l%o.

Of the number taking part, boys
lead with 24,385 The number of girls
was 1876, men, 2,704, and women,
1856.
The success of the program has been
largely due to the fine cooperation dis
played, Modin said Facilities made
available by the city and school, as
sistance from local business men. fra
ternal and civic groups, individuals
who served as volunteer leaders must
all share in the credit of the depart
ment's success, Modin said The WPA
