Murray Demands
Immediate Overall
Rafioning Of Foods
ClO Chief Also Asks
Effective Enforcement
Of Price Ceilings
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 2O.-The
CIO, asserting that rationing and
price control so far have not been
sufficiently vigorous or far-reach-
ing" advocates immediate overall
rationing Of all foods and other
necessities" and "the effective en-
forcement of price ceilings
Discussing his organizations war
time legislative program in Ma
tion-wide radio broadcast last night,
CIO President Philip Murray said:
Food prices have risen to an
alarming degree-some 40 per cent
above pre-war levels. Many
low-income workers familities are
thus deprived of the food and other
necessities they need to be able to
produce at top efficiency"
Urging upward adjustment of
wage levels Ito assure maximum
efficiency of war workers." Mr.. Muir
ray said the Little Steel" formula
used by the War Labor Board is ''in-
adequate and unfair because of the
Is per cent yardstick. The dollar
an-hour worker, for instance, gets
a much larger increase than the
50-cents- hour man"
Mr.. Murray also called for single
Federal systems of old age insur-
ance and unemployment compensa-
ton to replace the variety OF State
social security laws which create
many troubles and inequities."
He asked that Congress refuse
further funds to continue the Dies
Committee on grounds 'it has done
great damage to our national unity
by its factional polical approach
and has failed to take any effective
action against the real enemies
within our midst"
He said the CIO also urges a
Federal health insurance program,
collective bargaining for Govern
ment employees, abolition of the poll
tax, and opposes any sales tax.

New Steel Orders,
Iron Age Says
Trade Paper Expects
No Excess Supply
For Long Time
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan 20.-The Iron
Age said today new steel orders tenn
porarily had taken on a spotty ap-
pearance, while in the machine tool
field heavier purchases were received
from airplane parts and equipment
manufacturers.
Despite the easing of new bus
mess encountered by a few steel
companies the publication said,
most were receiving incoming ton
mage heavier than their outgoing
shipments. There is no overall eX-
cess Of steel. nor is there likely to
be for long time ahead"
Iron Age said mills would be
asked to roll as much steel in the
shorter month of February as they
did in January, causing heavier
pressure on fIniSherS.
CMP Causes Tension.
Continued the trade journal:
Mounting tension over the Con-
trolled Materials Plan also reflects
the lack of ample supplies of steel
and other metals for usual purposes.
Industrial executives in some areas
have been looking more and more
aSkanCe at recent CMP develop
ments. One or two agencies have
indicated they will administer forms
differently than other scheduling
units. The prospect of more paper
work is disturbing to industries.
The War Production Board is at
tempting to solve raw material
supply problems on the West Coast
which are peculiar, indeed. Henry
kalser's new blast furnace will be
making pig iron for several months
before the rest of his mill is ready
to make finished steel. Therefore,
Kaiser's pig iron can. be diverted to
foundries or other steel plants tenn
porarily.
If Utah's coal goes to California.
and Californias pig iron goes to
Colorado, to be blended with other
pig iron from Wyoming ore and
scrap from Arizona and New Mex
leo. and the finished steel is Ship
ped to West Coast shipyards. the
industrial iSolationists of the Far
West at last will understand what
President Roosevelt was talking
about when he said the world had
shrunk like shriveled apple.
Serious Barrier Seen.
over the nation, the lack of hot
topping facilities at steel plants
continues serious barrier. Some
companies which lack sufficient of
these facilities are finding it neces-
sary to take deeper cuts in ingot
discards to meet more exacting re-
quirements.
Restricting delivery territories OF
steel mills, an idea being discussed
more and more in certain Washing
ton quarters, would create incredible
confusion and impair the war pro-
gram if enforced rigidly Lack of
familiarity with steel production and
consumption is shown by propon-
ents of the restrictive proposal.
Steel production is concentrated in
few areas, but consumption in the
same areas is below output.
Prohibiting steel mills from roll
ing more than one product also
would work a hardship. particularly
on men thrown out of work.
This weeks steel ingot rate of
100 per cent of rated capacity bet
tered last weeks figures by half a

WE, THE WOMEN
Miss Millett Has Her Say About Wartime TranSients

touched they are-but not sorry enough to inconvenience themselves in the slightest to help young folks out.
 They aren't all landlords. either. They are the travellers who will let a young wife with a baby stand or sit in an aisle instead of giving her comfortable seat. They ease their consciences by saying, "Women haven't any right to travel with babies in times like these" They wouldn't be travelling in normal times. They wouldn't have to be travelling clear across the country in order to be with their men, if there weren't a war going on.
 And there are the people in towns "over-run" by the Army or Navy who take superior attitude toward the families of service men. The people who look on Army or Navy people as transients - not worth bothering about. There are many people who feel sorry for those who are being hard hit by the war. But so many of them are satisfied to do nothing but feel noble because they feel sorry.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-08-28
BY ANN STEVIK NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Aug. 28-Among the steps that may be taken to keep our production army Well-fed as the food situation gets more complicat- ed is to increase in-plant feeding of war workers.
 About 20 per cent of our work CTS now are reached by the inplant feeding program, and the Depart ment of Agriculture hopes to double that in the next six months through a campaign beamed at employers.
 Food supplies, distribution, and that old Black Market, come un- der more efficient control with large-unit feeding. It benefits not only the worker but the congest- ed community in which he lives. COAL RATIONING
 The slight increase in coal pro- duction which Solid Fuels Ad- ministrator Harold L. Ickes just an nounced is hardly enough to bring the question of coal-rationing down out of the air, where 1t was left soHe weeks ago in the speech by Chester Bowles, general manager of the Office of Price Administration. Whether the threat of coal-ration- ink will remain just that, no one can say, but discussions are under way.
 SWEATER GIRL RETRIEVE
 The Office of Civilian Require ments which naturally has civil ian welfare close to tis heart, is chagrined at the general interpre tation of the recent sweater order. It does not mean, they say, that the sweater girl must go. It mere ly eliminates fancily trimmed sweaters. always rare novelty, and confines production to the classic sweaters always favored by sweat CT girls.
