employees involved. Nationally, the
shipyard workers wage increases
have averaged about 20 per cent
since January, 194l. the period en-
compassed by the Little Steel
formula.
Wages Were Fixed.
Under the shipbuilding wage sta
bilization plan Of 1941, four zone
agreements were drafted fixing
wages of first class skilled mechan-
les at SLIP an hour on the East
Coast, West Coast and Great Lakes
zones and SLOT in the Gulf zone.
All agreements provided for auto
matte raises geared to increases in
the cost of living, but with formulas
differing in the various zones.
The administration took the posi-
tion, however, that a direct tieup
between wages and the cost of living
was irrecOncilable with wage stabili-
zation policies.
ThereupOn new contract was ne
gotiated in the spring of 1912, fixing
a base rate of $1.20 for first class
skilled mechanics and eliminating
the automatic tieup with the cost
OF living, but providing for annual
wage reviews.

AL Ship Workers
Formally Ask WLB
For Wage Increase
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
American Federation OF Labor
workers in private shippuilding and
repair yards TODAY made formal
demand on the War Labor Board
for approval of upward wage ad-
jlistments to match increased costs
Of, living.
II Opening his unions case In WLB's
first review of existing contracts
under zone stabilization agreements,
John Frey. president OF the Meta,
Trades Council, announced that in
lieu of a petition for specific per-
centage increases In existing wage
levels, I'VE ask only that in reaching
your final decision that labor's real
wages in relation to the cost OF liv-
ing are going to be maintained"
Failure to give such a guarantee,
he said, would give labor reason TO
doubt the processes of seh-regu-
lation established for the period Of
the war"
Integrity Of Promises Stressed.
Mr. Frey told the board that there
was involved in the proceedings the
shipyard workers confidence in the
integrity of the promises of his own
Government"
Challenging Bureau of Labor data
on increased living costs, Mr.. Frey
said the cost of food and other es-
sential items had gone far beyond
bureau statistics. Other factors con-
tributing to increased cost to work
ers, he said, was the discontinuance
of bargain sales, deterioration in
quality disappearance of ow-priced
lines from the market and evasion of
ceiling prices.
The previously announced pro-
gram OF the Industrial Union of
Marine Shipbuilding Workers OF
America (CIO) was presented by its
president, John Green, who con-
tended that the gross yearly earn
lngs OF workers in all other indus
tries had risen proportionately high
er than in shipbuilding.
Decline Called Alarming.
Real wages" or wages in rela
ton to living costs, have declined in
the shipbuilding industry, he said
to an alarming extent"
Mr.. Green contended that in
creases granted at the time of the
establishment of the zone standards
were not intended to meet increa sed
living costs. and that therefore they
should not be considered in relation
to the little Steel formula.
Spokesmen for the board said II
would be possible, but difficult
TO grant general wage increase
in the industry under the Presi-
dents ''hold-the- line" stabilization
order after the IS per cent allowed
under the Little Steel formula had
been exhausted.

est yet handled by the board. from

Myer Defends WRA

Dillon S. Myer, director Of the
War Relocation Authority today
stoutly defended before Dies sub
committee the program of his
agency for releasing Americans OF
japanese ancestry from the 10 re-
location camps in which they were
placed after outbreak of the war.

declared Mr. Myer. These leave
regulations establish procedure
under which the loyal citizens and
law-abiding aliens NAV leave a re-
location center to become re-estab-
lished in normal life"
5000 Never Entered Center.
Mr.. Myer pointed out that when
the evacuation of the japanese on
the West Coast was originally de-
termined upon. il was contemplated
that the evacuees would be freed i'm

wanted within the United States so

5000 of those have never lived in re-
location centers." he declared. The
decision to provide relocation GEN.
ters for the evacuees was not made
until some six weeks after evacua-
ton was decided upon and was made
largely because of a recognition of
the danger that the hasty and un-
planned resettlement of $4,000 peo-
pie might create civil disorder"
Mr. Myer argued that detention
within relocation camp is not a
necessary part OF the evacuation
process. TT is not intended" he
declared, ito be more than tenn
porary stage in the process of the
evacuees into new homes and jobs"
Must Meet Four Conditions.
Those released from the relocation
centers for indefinite periods. Mr.
Myer said, must meet the following
four conditions:
L. WRA must be satisfied from
its investigation that there is no
reason to believe issuance of leave
to the particular evacuee will inter-
fere with the war program or en-
danger the public peace and secu-
rity;
%. The individual must have a
job or means of support;
g. The community to which the
individual wishes to go must be one
in which evacuees can relocate with
out public disturbance;

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July T.
Members of the Providence Typo
graphical Union No. 80 went on
strike today ina contract dispute
att the Providence Journal Co.
plant and a picket line was estab-
lished at the building, a union
spokesman said.
In accordance with previous an
nouncement by the company, pub
lication of the Evening Bulletin to-
day will be suspended.
The suspension will mark break
of ia years of continuous publica-
ton in Providence. The plant was
damaged during New England's 1888
hurricane, but publication was
maintained then through newspaper
printing presses in Boston and
WoonSocket.
Alfred Whittle, international rep
resentative of the union, has con-
tended that the company broke its
over-the-Scale wages to certain
compositors
The Journal company claimed it
had paid -the-scale wages to
some employees in accord with a
policy of 40 years standing.
Yesterday the War Labor Board,
in kilograms to local and interna-
tional presidents of the union. an
independent organization, sought to
prevent walkout.
Amy interruption of work at this
plant said the WLB message,
would seriously interfere with the
dissemination of news and the con-
tinued operation of an essential en-
terprise and would be in violation
of labor's pledge and the national
policy of the Government that there
shall be no strikes for the duration
of the war"
Union Position Unchanged.
Last night. Mr.. Whittle said he
had seen the telegram but that the
position of the union had not
changed.

ternational union, said last night in

to do is to get the company to live
up to a decision reached by local
board of arbitration"
Mr. Baker charged that ''the pub
fishers of the Providence Bulletin
refused to abide oy the findings of
a local arbitration board" headed
by the Rev. William C. Meehan, O. I
P. OF Providence College. He said
the board had found the company
guilty of violating details of the
contract
The Journal company said that
when the arbitral award was rem
dered it had Immediately referred
it for Interpretation and decision to
the War Labor Board which was
the course required by law and di-
rected by the arbitrator"
The union will act tonight on
proposals made al conference be-
tween Hearing Officer Louis R
Becker of the Regional War Labor
Board in Boston and union COM
mittee, which terminated early this
morning.
The dispute was certified by the
National WLB, which at once called

the war. Unless some authority
be enabled to speak for them,
those forces will continue to be
denied the status of Allies and
they unavoidably- must cut the
figure of condottiere and mer-
cenaries.
For the sake of the argument,
let us assume that the commit
tees title to speak on behalf OF
the French people can be ques-
toned. The other side of the
problem is that the national in
terests of the French nation are
bound to be left in allegiance and
to suffer if, for any length of
time, it is nobody's business to
look after them.
To comply with the wishes of
the committee in all essentials, it
would be enough that a balance
should be struck between those
two sets of disadvantages. More
over, one has to keep in mind
that we're something like an
executive council of the United
Nations in operation, and were it
called on to settle the issue, the
course that it would follow in the
juncture is plain for all to see.

Last Monday Philippe Baudet,

ceived by the competent author
ity. They had the satisfaction
to ascertain that, as foretold by

If the official relations now
happily in existence between the
United States Government and
the Algiers Committee stand the
first test to which they are put,
the controversies of the past
promptly will wane as a bad
dream. No more will they mar
the harmony which naturally
exists between the New France
now taking shape and the liberat-
ing American power, firmly set on
the achievement of victory.
