Modification Of Order
*
Freezing Jobs, Wages
Sought by Labor 7
AFL and CIO Criticize
Ediets as Holding Only
One Side Of the Line
BY the Associated Press


Organized labor today planned
to seek modification of the ad-
ministration's wage control and
job freeze orders, in the wake of
sharply-worde criticism aimed
at the edicts by spokesmen for
both the AFL and the CIO.
Basis for objection to the orders
differed between the two groups.
President William Green of the AFL
opposed their principle and termed
them ''uncalled for and unneces-
sary'': the CIO Cost-of- Living Com
mittee asserted that wages and man
power are being rigidly controlled
but prices continue to mount.
The committee said the Presi-
! dents 'hold-the-lin anti-infiation
order is being administered as
hold one side of the line" order
instead.
Price scandal Charged.
On the side of wages which had
already been stabilized under past
rulings of the War Labor Board we
have seen succession of Draconian
edlcts aimed at freezing inequities
and at chaining workers to ill-pay-
ing Jobs" statement issued by the
committee said. On the side of
prices, where the breakdown of con-
trols had already amounted to a
scandal, We have seen legalized price
increases and continuance of the
OPA policy of soft enforcement"
The plans-whlch were not de-
talled-to press for modification
were disclosed by Mr.. Green who
issued statement expressing fear
that the application of such a
frozen. rigid, inflexible plan will
seriously affect morale, lower indi-
vidual efficiency and arouse resent
ment among the industrial workers
OF the Nation"
Green Gives Views.
Mr.. Green said the Wase-job
orders were of last-resort nature,
adding:
Surely such an assault upon the
exercise OF freedom by working men
and women and of their right to sell
their labor under the most advan-
tageous conditions and to exercise
all their rights under our free en-
terprlse system could we'll be post
poned until no other solution was
possible. The right of an individual
to seek employment, to fight for
and secure for himself decent wages,
to render service under the most
advantageous and satisfactory con-
ditions, is inherent and fundamental
IN the American way of life.
"All these rights should be pre-
served and protected in order to
influence the workers of the Nation
to hold the line and to 'volun-
tarily and willingly serve to the
limit of their ability and endurance
in order to win the war They can
do this if they are permitted to
enjoy the benefits of free labor
rather than to be reduced to the
status of forced labor"
Mr.. Green said that the penalties
for violation of job-shifting regu-
lations-up to 81 900 fine and year
in prison-Were tremendously Of
fensive, drastic and represent a
character of punishment which In
no way fits the crime

have been discussed with the Ap-
preparations Committee Mr. Reese
! emphatically declared: This whole
! Civil Service employe pay system
needs working over" He said that
! he Will urge Legislation to have joint
! salary revision
The bill for wartime pay rates for
| Federal and District per annum EN-
ployes would be operative from May
to June. 1945. For most depart
mental employees it would continue
the basic features of the temporary
overtime formula approved last De-
cember under which 2l6 per cent
increase has been in effect for a 49,
hour week. Under the new bill fiat
, $500 year is proposed in the low
salary brackets where ZIG per cent
amounts to less than $500.
Those not subject to overtime
principally in the legislative and ju-
dicial branches. would receive a fiat
$500 on salaries under $4,000 and a
fiat Is per cent on salaries of So 900
or over All non-overtime employees
get 10 per cent under the present
temporary law In all cases where
whether on the overtime or fiat
the base salary is more than $1,000
year the increase is to be COM
puted only on the first $4,000
percentage rate.
S62S Highest Raise Possible.
Chairman Ramspeck of the Civil
Service Committee in charge of the
legislation pointed out that the COM
promise rejected today would give
additional pay to 100000 Govern
ment employees not covered by other
! pay legislat ton This would be re-
ceived for approximately "a per cent
more work. He emphasized that
it is practically straight pay for
additional work or 2l6 per cent
more pay for 20 per cent more work
Chairman Ramspeck said that no
person would get any increase on
any part of his salary above $4,000
The highest amount that any en-
ploye could receive would be S62s
a year for which he would have to
work nine hours a day. So weeks in
the year.
He also emphasized that the bill
! does not include any elected employe

the Government in Washington,
throughout the United States, or
anywhere in the world in clerical

Mr.. Ramspeck pointed out that
these two excepted classes have al
ready been granted larger salary in
creases for the war period than is
proposed for civil service employees
and that Congress has forced pri-
vate employers to do more for their
employees. He also explained that a
limit had been placed in the bill

And if she insists on beef, she would
probably be able to find it by Wis

The principal difficulty in the
meat situation still is the shortage

had hoped to use to round out their

Hopes Bright Earlier.
Republicans and Democrats earlier
had expressed confidence the House
would pass bill next week and toss
1t over to the Senate. where there is
virtually certain to be another
pitched battle over the Ruml plan
with its full-year tax cancellation
features
In approaching a middle ground
on the snarled pav-as-you-go issue
that has befuddled and bewitched
Capitol Hill for three months, the
House Republicans receded at least
for the time being from the Ruml
plan. and Democratic leaders parted
from their stand against any tax
abatement whatever
There were indications that agree
ment had been reached on special
tax exemptions for men and women
in the armed services. probably pro-
vlding that they shall pay no taxes
on the first $500 of service base
pay. and also that any income tax
liability outstanding on the death
of member of the services in war
time shall be Cancelled.
May Erase Tax for 1000, 900.
If the compromise embraces a
modified Doughton proposal to apply
the moderate 194l rates and exemp-
tions to 1912 income, as indicated
it would abate approximately S.
900, 900 900 of the $4,000. 900 900 tax
liability against all 1912 personal
income and might provide that tax
payers be given several years in
which to pay off the remaining
$4,000 900 900, while at the same
time remitting their current taxes
Representative Dewey, Republican
OF Illinois, Ways and Means member
espoused the Doughton plan before

an added provision that the present
high wartime rates against personal

OF the war. with no further increases
