War Labor Board
5idesteps Ruling on
'Substandard Wage
Refuses to Recognize
Localized Living Costs
In Coast Hotel Case
Py the Associated Press

eS the ASSOCIATED Press,
The War Labor Board sideStepped
Today ruling on the question OF
W h 1t constitutes "substandard"
wages and refused to recognize
localized living cos figures as a
basis for applying the Little Steel
formula.
The Board took its stand in a
case involving the Hotel Employers
Association of San Francisco and
their employees. The decision ap-
proved substantially the wage in
creases awarded by an arbitrator,
but substituted different reasoning
The award of a IS per cent in
crease over January, 1941 levels
was approved without question, but
raises allowed by the arbitrator be-
cause of substandard wages were
approved by the Board only to
eliminate inequalities. Minor in
creaSes allowed by the arbitrator on
grounds that the San Francisco cost
of living was slightly higher than
the national average were allowed
only on grounds that they would
simplify bookkeeping.
Dean Wayne L. Morse, public
member, wrote the opinion for a
unanimous board and referred to
certain increases allowed by Arbi-
traitor Edgar H. Rowe in order ito
establish as basic wage an amount
which more nearly approximates a
living wage"
The board said Mr. Morse, ''is
not prepared to say that the specific
rates which the arbitrator desig-
mated as being substandard are in
fact substandard wages"
Mr.. Morse cited the case of wait
ers and mattresses who receive a
basic wage of s325 day, plus meals
and tips. The arbitrator raised this
to 81 on the grounds the old rates
were substandard
Granted" said Mr.. Morse, that
a basic wage rate of $325 per day
is not high wage, it does not fol-
low that it is substandard wage,
especially when account is taken of
the fact that these particular en-
ployes receive their meals and tips. u

Wages Going Up Daily.
Representative Pace declared that

wage standards for agriculture
workers that the farmers would be
unable to pay, unless the parity
formula was recomputed to embrace
the labor costs.
The bill passed without objection
Representative Pace submitted a
report from the Committee on Agri-
culture, which said in part:
Farm wage rates are going up
daily. The Government is making
contracts which contain provisions
for minimum wages on the farm
higher than have heretofore been
paid in the community. The Presi-
dent, this week, issued statement
removing all limitations on farm
wage rates.
Your committee anticipates a
gradual and constant increase in
farm wage rates, and we say en-
phatically that not only is the farm
er entitled to have this increase in
cluded in the calculation OF his
prices, but that if it is not included

that "it is time for Congress to

Pentagon Building Cited.
In citing examples of what he
called ABUSES" of broad grants OF
power, Representative Gearhart re-
ferred to construction of the huge
Pentagon Building, now housing the
War Department.
He said that Congress originally
authorized construction of the build
ing at a cost of $35 ,000, 900, "and
now we have the Pentagon mon
strosity at a cost Of $85 ,000, 900 not
even on the site which Congress
selected"
Where did the additional money
come from? Representative Gear
hart asked. Out of a lump sum
appropriation which we were assured
would be used exclusively for war
purposes"
Asked Detailed Bill.
Both Representative Gearhart and
Representative Jenkins, Republican,
of Ohio demanded that as an alter
native to the proposed measure, the
Administration send in bill, speci-
flying in detail just what laws could

Assistant Solicitor General o. S.
Cox, the first witness, contended
such bill would be "impractical"

today adopted resolution nro-
posed by its Committee on In
oustrial Relations asserting strife
Is caused by biased, confusing
ana extra-legal decisions by the
War Labor Board and other Gov
ernment agencies handling labor
problems"
The resolution was unanimousIv
ADOPTED by voice vote at the con.
vention's noon session. after readino
by Reuben B. Robertson, Chairman
OF the committee, who is executive
wee president of Champion Paper
d. Fiber Co., Canton, N. C, 1t said
in part:
production alone can't win the
war, but the war can't be won with
out production. Management fullv
reallzes this. Labor and manage
ment have accomplished much. They
can and will do more if positive ac-
tlon is taken to eliminate the i'm
pedlments now hampering produc-
ton
Government activities: Strife is
bred OF biased, confusing and extra
legal decisions by the War Labor
Board and other Government agen-
cies handling labor problems. These
agencies should scrupulously con-
form to the Constitution and duly
enacted laws and should be i'm
partial in all their activities as be-
hts the umpire.
Jurisdictional Strikes Hit.
"Jurisdictional disputes between
rival unions impair war production
and should be stopped" the resolu-
ton stated.
There should be no more picket
Ing which prevents people from
working in war plants.
Compulsory union membership:
This labor restriction upon unlim-
tied production usually referred to
AS the closed shop is coercive and
un-American. It's extension is in
excusable in wartime It's COM
panion evil, the so-called mainte-
nance of membership clause that is
achieving dominance of late through
War Labor Board decision should
not be imposed by Government
workers have been guaranteed
the right to join organizations of
their own choosing without coercion.
The right not to join or to withdraw
from such organizations is equally
important and must likewise be
guaranteed and enforced.
High Fees Attacked.
"The first step is to stop the
work permit fees and excessive
union initiation fees upon which
labor racketeering fattens.
The failure of many unions to
honestly conduct strike votes and
the election of officers by secret
ballot also contributes to labor
racketeering and should be cor
rected
Summary: In summation, we
declare that if the above evils are
not voluntarily corrected by those
responsible for them they should
be removed by the people through
their Congress"
