TO Correct
inequalities In Wages

The Dayton mn News this week print one of the most mprants statements of Clio pdy in
months The following statement by President Philip Murray has been sent to all aflhts It deals
in detail with Peiden Roosets executive order on prices and wages and MUST adg for III
Clio members whow to be correctly informed about Cos position
The President issued an eecuhveo order dated April g. 9S defining regulations with Tc to
control of prices wage and Shy increases as are necessary maintain sterilization
Certain hndnnalp problems are raised by this xeudveo order I shall attempt to amSe these
problems in light of the policies and obeMws of the CO

date steps, as requested by the
C1O, to actually enforce such cell
ing prices and to broaden the scope
Of rationing SO that we may have
a democratic system of overall a
tioning of the necessities of life.
The degree to which this all-im-
portant sterilization policy will be
effectuated and actually enforced
will depend henceforth upon the
action taken and the support given
by our membership throughout the
nation.
We should anticipate vicious
and unprincipled attacks from
various sources against the
effectuation of the price policy
set forth In this recent exec
utive order. 1t will be up to
organized labor to offer the
leadership in local commune
ties throughout the country
to rally the people behind this
mandate of cur Commander
in-Chief as our domestic Of
fensive against initiation.
It should be carefully noted that
the Presidents executive order
recognizes the possibility of af-
fording increased income to farm
ers through incentives for in
creased production, and with no
increase in the cost Of living.
Under such policy, complemented
by steps for aiding the farm labor
and machinery shortages, a real
solution will be provided for the
problems of the farmers without
the resort to wild runaway prices
as espoused by the mis-named
farm bloc"
, 1943-04-28
Wage Adjustments
Allowed

The executive order also seeks
to stabilize wages as of the levels
Of Sept. Is, 1912. However, allow
ances for wage adjustments may be
approved by the National War
Labor Board:
(a) TO correct standards Of
living;
(b) TO compensate In ac-
eordance with the Little Steal
formula az defined by the Ma
tionaI War Labor Board for
the rise In the cost of living
between Jan. 1, 1871, and May
l, 1912;
(c) To provide for promo
tons, reclassifications, merit
increases, incentive wages or
the like.
The tasks which now rest upon
our unions and our leaders are
quite different from those which
we encountered in our wage nego-
tiations in peacetime. Today we
must accept the basic principle Of
sterilization Of wages. But as the
Co has consistently maintained,
, 1943-04-28

eliminate such inequalities the
result would be a freezing Of
chaos.
The consequence of any such
program would necessarily
have the most disastrous effect
upon the production of our es-
sential munitions of war. The
need for meeting this problem
through an equitable adjust
ment must be made known by
QUIZ membership to the Ma
tiona1 War Labor Board and to
the director of economic sta
bilization, James F. Byrnes.
This can best be done by the
direct presentation of specific
cases which should be contin-
ued as In the past.
Furthermore, we must contend
that outstanding collective bar
gaining agreements which contain
provision for the elimination of
inequalities of individual wage
rates through the operation of
grievance machinery must be per-
mitted to continue to function. It
could not have possibly been the
intent of the recent executive
order to set aside the operation of
such collective bargaining agree
ments. To do so would be to create
discord where harmonious indus
trial relations now prevail.
Lists Recommendations
I am therefore recommending
to our affiliated unions that we
continue (a) to function under our
collective bargaining agreements
as we have in the past, including
where applicable, the disposition
through the grievance machinery
of problems relating to wage in
CAPABILITIES, and (b) to present such
issues to the National War Labor
Board where unadjusted in collec-
tive bargaining.
In the presentation of our
cases relating to the elimina-
ton of gross inequities, we
must make it clear that we are
not seeking to obtain general
wage increases beyond the
Sept. Is, 1912, levels, but
rather to eliminate inequaIi-
ties because their continuance
would necessarily lead to a
serious deterioration of morale
and Of productive efficiency.
Our sole objective In this re-
gard must be what is best to
aid In the prosecution of the
war by assuring the maximum
or prO0uC0On.
The national economic stabiliza-
ton policy Incorporated, as an in
tegral part, the need for an equit-
able tax program. The 1912 tax
did not accomplish the
objective set forth in the Presi-
original N intimidation mes
sage of April q, 1912.
Congress completely ignored in
that legislation the need for in
.creasing taxes of the high income
groups, corporate profits and the
elimination of loopholes whereby
privileges and benefits
were permitted to continue.

1t is now of the utmost i'm
portance that orlr affiliated
unions and membership ex-
tend the fullest support to
this action taken by President
Roosevelt In order to impress
Mr.. Prentiss Brown, Price
Administrator, and MIR. Ches-
ter Davis, Administrator of
Food Production and Distribu-
ton, with the absolute need
for interpreting the executive
order rs an order to reduce
prices to the levels which pre-
vailed on Sept LIS, 1912.
Our position must be that any
other procedure or policy would
be most unfair in that with wages
stabilized, the increases in food
costs since Sept. Is, 1912, mark q
reduction in the standard of living

Back Roosevelt To Cut Prices - Murrau Urges

The CLIO will oppose any
by any government agency
TO impose a national wage incen-
system. This problem must be
through collective bargain
ing in specific cases between the
union and the employer affected
Such agreements should be
simple and understandable and
should incorporate guarantees
that: (a) the increased effort
of the workers for increased
production viii not result in
the lowering of hourly or in
cerftive rates; (b) the en-
ployes will be assured a mini
mum 4O-hour work week to
avoid layoffs during the week
resulting from poor manage
rial scheduling of work; and
(c) the base of normal produc-
ton to be chosen as a guide
post to determine increased
production and increased earn
ings should be related as of
September, 1912, in order to
take into consideration the in
creased production which has
resulted since then for which
the workers may not have re-
ceived any increased earnings.
Omission
The recent executive order has
a very serious omission in that il
does not appear to confer upon
he National War Labor Board the
which it heretofore has
aad to make necessary adjust
ncnts to correct gross inequities.
The Emergency Price Con-
troll Act of 1912 specifically
provided that under the sta
Utilization program, adjust
ments In wages and salaries
could be made to the extent
found necessary in any case to
correct gross inequalities and
also to aid In the effective
prosecution of the war. Pur-
suant to this statutory author
ity, the President by executive
Order $3.50 issued ON Oct. 3,
1912, directed the National War
Labor Board not to approve
any increases In the wage
rates prevailing On Sept. Is,
1912, unless such increases
were necessary to correct NAL
adjustments or inequalities or
to aid Ia the prosecution of the
war.
The recent executive order con-
ers upon the director of economic
tabilization, MIR. James F.; Byrnes,
of the authority which the
has under the Emergency
rice Control Act of 1912.
It shall be our contention that
he National War Labor Board
aust receive the authority which
has heretofore had regarding
he elimination of inequalities.
my other result would create the
lost dangerous confusion in our
life.

rate structures prevailing in

, 1943-04-28

The CLIO has consistently sought
the sterilization of the cost of liv-
ing and the prevention of initiation.
The Emergency Price Control
Act of 1912, which the CLIO has
supported, specifically provides
that sterilization of prices should
be on the basis of the levels which
existed on Sept. Is, 1912. It is con-
servatively estimated that food
costs since Sept. IS, 1912, have
risen over Is per cent. The CLIO
has therefore been urging the gov
eminent officials responsible for
price control not merely to enforce
outstanding maximum prices but
of equal Importance, to take i'm
mediate steps to roll back the pres
ent prices to levels of Sept. Is,
1912.
Toward this end the CIO recent
ly requested the President of the
United States that either prices be
rolled back to the levels of Sept.
Is, 1912, as demanded by the law,
or that wages be adjusted to meet
the price increases which have &C.
Cured since the Little Steel for
rnula was established.
The recent executive order Is an
important step forward in estab-
fishing real sterilization of prices
and thereby meeting the demand
of the CLIO. The directive to the
price administrator and the admin
~istrator of food production and

Col. Livingstone

Born Ut Saint John, New Brunswick,
IN 1853. and resident OF the neikh-
borhood OF Washington from 1895,
Colin Hamilton Livingstone, q man
OF many gifts and talents, will be
remembered most particularly for
his share In the organisation OF the
worlds most important fellowship of
boys. He was one Of the founders
OF the Boy Scouts Of America, in
corporated in 1910 and chartered by
Congress In 1915. But he served not
merely Is sponsor of the Scouting
movement in the United States. For
fifteen years he was president of the
National Council which directed the
adoption Of the original conceptions
OF Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Daniel
Carter Beard and Ernest Thompson
Seton to practical use.
None Of the initiators OF the Scouts
were skilled in business As Colonel
Livingstone was. It was natural,
therefore, for them to turn to him
for such help as only q man with
experience in industry and commerce
could give. 1t happened that he had
been a reporter, teacher and a
publisher in his youth. Later, he was
secretary to Senator Stephen B.
Elkins Of West Virginia and secretary
to the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce, as well as a vice
president Of the American National
Bank and an ofilcer OF the Great Falls
and Old Dominion Railroad. His
circle Of acquaintances also included
leaders in religious and educational
enterprises whose assistance he could
and did enlist. It largely was due to
his endeavors in that respect that the
national program of Scouting was
launched with the substantial sup
port necessary for its success.
The military title which Colonel
Livingstone bore came to him from
five different Governors OF West
Virginia. Not q soldier In the COM
mon meaning of the term, his con.
trtbution TO the First World War took
