Hail Murroy's
Leadership

CLEVELAND.-In two sharply
contrasting resolutions, the CIO
special executive board meeting on
its last day praised CIO President
Philip Murray for "the inspiring
leadership" shown by him in unit
ing labor behind President Roose-
welt in the war against Hitler, and
strongly condemned John L. Lewis
for his attacks on President Roose-
welt and his attempt to split the
labor movement.
In the resolution praising Muir
ray, the board expressed "its deep
appreciation for his wise guidance
and courageous leadership" and
pledged to move ahead rapidly on
the program Murray set at the
board meeting.

Pay Adjustment
Power to WLB

Observation-Disclosures War
Labor Boards are starting to col
lect data on wage brackets for
their regions in accordance with
the directive issued last week by
Sterilization Director Byrnes re-
storing to the WLB certain of the
powers it had lost under the pres
ident's hold-the- Line order.
In a clarifying directive issued
on May IL, following weeks of
conferences at which WLB men,
bers insisted to Byrnes that the
April 8 order was unavoidable,
Byrnes restored to the board its
authority to adjust wages if "gross
inequities" are involved, or if nee
essary for the reflective prose-
cution of the war"
AS a result of the Byrnes direc-
tive, the board regains its powers
as a judicial body, able once more
to decide cases before it on the
basis of their merits.
