It was his first rest since Pearl HarbOr.
 My mother asked me if the sea men really did refuse to unload the ship at Guadalcanal as stated in the Detroit Free Press. She didn't want to believe it, but there it was on the front page in the paper. 1 soon set her straight, showing her my check for overtime pay for Sunday work and telling her of the union contract that provides for overtime work except in case of strike, and of course we don't strike in wartime"

Bakery Drivers Win Pay Jump

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An in- crease averaging $5.04 per week for more than 1900 drivers of 40 Chicago wholesale baking companies was un- animously approved by the National War Labor Board Trucking Commis- sion. The commission found that the increase was within the Is per cent cost-of-living adjustment permitted in the boards wage policy.
 Average weekly earnings in Jan uary, 1o42, were $4959. No increase has been granted since that time, and the permitted IS per cent increase to compensate for the increased cost of living would average $7.44, or $40 more than was approved in the com missions order.
 The commission acted to approve an agreement reached by the Bakers Club of Chicago, representing the baking companies involved, and Local 734 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehouse men and Helpers of America, AFL, representing the 1886 employees.

Postal Clerks Bill OK ed By ThePresiident
Conn. Labor Halls First Increase For Mailmen
 In 17 Years

Connecticut labor this week hailed President ROosevelt's sign. ing House Resolution l366, which gave postal workers of the nation Iong-fOught-for pay increases. The measure, which becomes effective May l and will continue in effect until June 30, l945, provides for a $500 annual salary raise for regular post office workers.
 This is the first raise for mailmen in l7 years, and the measure was heartily supported by organized labor in Connecticut and all over the country. Union members, locals and central bodies in Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport petitioned the national legislators to support the measure to provide increase of pay of the postal clerks and car. riers.
 The act in addition to givng $500 raise to regular employees, will pro- vide substitute clerks with Is per cent increase in their basic hourly pay provided it doesn't bring the total boost above the $500 mark.
 It will restore to post office workers all laws granting benefits which were applicable before the enactment of S. J.Res. 170, which expires April 30 as well as those benefits which were superseded and rendered imperative Ill accordance with rulings of the Comptroller General.
 This means that the eight-hour day will be restored, and overtime will be paid for time served in excess oi eight hours day. Under the present law overtime pay is granted only 1T event postal employe works in ex- cess of 40 hours week. The eight within-10-hour law will likewise be restored, as well as the right to take compensatory time for service per formed on Sundays and holidays.
 Postal workers will revert tc straight overtime pay on 3O6-day basis under the same law whicl was applicable before enactment ol S.J.Res. l7O. For a $2,lOO clerk this will be approximately 86H cents an hour. The 48-hour work week is expected to remain in effec for the duration and in many in stances clerks will be required tt work even longer hours.

Nelson Lauds War Work
 Of Labor, Management

CHICAGO. - "One of the most encouraging examples of the readiness to make sacrifices, and of the spirit of cO-Opera- ton, has been the attitude both of labor and of management under self-rule,'' declared Don- aid M. Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board, in an address to the Economic Club at Chicago. ''There are a few exceptions, of course. There have been some unwarranted strikes-some bad absentee situations have arisen-some isolated but ugly instances of misconduct in industry have occurred. But such cases are merely bubbles on the tidal wave of the American war ef- fort. Except for those few re- grettable exceptions, manage ment and labor throughout the nation are staying on the job voluntarily and working in CO., operation with the government to win this war. That is strong testimony to the realism and sincerity of purpose of the American people"

ar1sters Shov Why Little Steel Forn1,a Is Not Working

SEATTLE.-Why the Lit tie Steel formula fails to meet the needs of war workers is made clear in a survey of food prices just completed by The Washington Teamster, official organ of Washington District, International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
 FIGURES REFUTED
 The facts dug out by the Team ster refute the statistics of the U. s. Labor Department upon which the Little Steel formula is based. The Labor Department claims that Seattle workers are pay ing only 25 per cent more to live now than they did in 1859.
 But a different story is told by the Teamster survey which shows that food costs, which are the big gest drain on a workers pocket book, increased from 30 per cent to $50 per cent since January, l94l, the effective date of the Little Steel formula. Here are some of the figures:
