Murray declared that joint labor
management agreements for en-
ployment stabilization have been
exceedingly successful" but that
"your recent directive negates the
democratic procedure established
under these stabilization agree
ments."
Noting that under the directive
workers may still transfer from
one job to another In critical
areas where stabilizatlon agree
ments exist, biased upon the
single test Of whether the trans
fer aids I'm the prosecution Of the
war" Murray denounced "the
crazy quilt approach" of the direc-
tive In prohibiting transfer to
higher paid jobs In areas where
no critical manpower situation
has developed and no stabiliza-
tion agreements have been
thought necessary, "even though
such transfers may aid In the
prosecution Of the war"
The CIO leader particularly at
tackled provision in the directive
that, where stabilization agreements
are in operation, employees may not
leave their jobs because their pay
is substantially less than that pre-
vailing in the locality in the same
or substantially similar work"
HITS BLOW TO MORALE
"The- impact on the morale and
efficiency of the employees who are
thus compelled to remain at work
at a sweated or substandard wage
which can only benefit the en-
ployer in terms of inflated profit,
will necessarily be devastating"
Murray said.
"For these reasons the Con-
gress Of Industrial Organizations
must insist that your directive
be replaced by policy whereby
employment stabilization will be
governed solely through the OPP
Grafton of joint labor-manage-
nient stabiiization agreements to
be put into effect wherever they
may be needed"
Murray said that such agree
ments should provide for adequate
health, safety, wage and working
conditions; for transfers to jobs
where a worker can be utilized at
a higher skill or for a greater num-
ber of weekly hours; and for a
guaranteed minimum 40-hour weekly
wage.
PIECEMEAL BASIS

there cannot be "any real man.

basis, which has been the approach

To Hold Down Flour Prices
To hold flour and bread prices at
present levels, the Office of Economic
Sterilization has i%naugurated a subsidy
program that will enable wheat flour
millers to pay as high as parity prices
for wheat (should the marke. go that
high) and at the SAM time sell flour
for no more than present ceiling prices.
without the subsidy, the Office of Eco
nomic Sterilization says, it would be
necessary to increase present ceiling
on flour, which in turn would force an
INCREASE in bread prices.
No Increase In Butter
Butter available for civilian use will
not increase during the next few months
although the Federal Government has
discontinued all purchases of the com
modify until April, according to infor-
nation from OPA and VIA. Current
production of butter averages about Is
pOunuS a year per persou, VI dpoui haii
a pound less han in pre-war years. Of
this, 81 pounds are being sent to our
armed forces and our allies, leaving APP
proximately 1917 pounds per capita for
civilian consumption. Up to 5 million
pounds of butter will be released to hos
pitfalls from stocks held by or set aside
for the Food Administration. The but
ter is to supply the hospitals from No
vember through March, and ration cou-
pons will be required.
OPA Authority Upheld
Authority of OPA to forbid persons
from dealing in rationed commodities
as a result of violations of rationing
regulations was upheld in a recent de-
cision by Federal Judge Archibald Low

War Food Administration lifted tho re-
strictions to help handle the slaughter
and distribution of this years record

out from their market agency or pro-
cessor whether their hogs can be han
died before sending them to market.
Ask Farm Workers to Help
m and workers engaged in agri-
cultural occupations have been asked by
the War Manpower Commission to give
all the time they can spare in the agri-
cultural off-season to ~pulpwood cutting,
numbering, and other war-useful occu-
p%ations. Farm workers may transfer
to such employment without obtaining
a certificate of availability but, If of
military age, must still obtain approval
from their selective service boards. Lo-
cal boards nave been instructed to APP
prove transfers for periods up to four
months, and registrants will be %contin-
ued in their deferred clas%sifications.
Workers are expected to return to agri-
cultural employment at the end of the
off-season, or at an other time the
need for them arises. Shortages in log
ging and saw-mill products make it i'm
perative that workers be recruited i'm
mediately. Any farmer or farm worker
who does not have ready access to log
ging and saw-mill operations is urged
to communicate with the United States
Employment Service office in his COM
munity for information. Some other
industry amy have crater priority in
his area.
Restricts Farm Equipment Sales "
To prevent others from getting scarce
farm equipment needed by farmers, the
