Davis Denies Lewis
Claim WLB Violates
No-Strike Agreement
Wages Not Mentioned
In Accord, He Says; Cites
Public Stond on Policy
By the Associated Press.


Chairman William H. Davis, in
effect, has served notice on John L.
Lewis that the War Labor Board
Will not entertain any argument
that its wage policies violate condi-
tions of labor's r1o-strike agreement.
Mr.. Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers, has promised coal
miners that he will get them a
wholesome increase" in wages, ir-
respective OF the WLBs policies,
when current union contracts expire
in April. He also has said the wage
policy violates the no-strike agree
ment.
Taking recognition of Mr.. Lewis
latter contention, Mr.. Davis issued
statement which, listing the pro-
visions of the agreement. made no
mention of wages.
Claims Support for Policy.
He went on to say that the wage
policy was adopted by tne unan-
imous vote of the public, labor and
industry members ard Il olloWed
the clear mandate given 1t BY The
Congress" and the Specific in
structions" of President Roosevelt.
The policy, known as the Little
Steel formula" permits a wage IN
crease of up to IS per cent to COM
pensate for increased living costs
since January /, 1941. 1t has been
indicated that the coal miners would
demand increases above this for
mula's allowance.
Chairman Davis statement YES
terday said:
In the Scripps- Howard papers of
today there appear certain remarks
made by John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers. Mr.. Lewis
states that the boards wage policy
Is an outright violation of the no.
strike agreement between labor, in
dustry and government made in De-
cember, 1941.'
Ihat agreement provided for the
following three things:
i. That there would be no strikes
or Iockouts for the duration of the
war.
Provides for Arbitration.
2. That all disputes would be
settled by peaceful means.
3. That a National War Labor
Board be established for the peace
iul adjustment of such disputes.
In accordance with that agree
ment, the National War Labor
Board, on which labor, as well as
the public and industry, is repre-
sented, was established January 12,
1872. The wage policy under which
that board is now operating was
adopted by the unanimous vote of
the public, labor and industry mem
oers OF the board on November s,
l94Z. This policy follows the clear
mandate given it by the Congress-
OF the United States on October Q
1912, when it declared that wages
ana salaries should be stabilized so
far as practicable on the basis of
the levels which existed on Sep
tember Is, 1912 and the specific
instructions of the President of the
United States contained in Execu-
tive Order No. $3.50 of October 3,
l942, issued pursuant to that act
Of Congress.
The most recent figures show that
II per cent of the decisions rem
dered by the War Labor. Board have
been unanimously concurred in bv
public, labor and industry members
of the board"
