To Aid Private Investors
BY he Associated Press.


Secretary of Commerce Jones has
announced the Government will
make loans on private business
properties which have lost their
earning power because of wartime
restrictions and regulations, to help
pay taxes. insurance, interest charges
and maintenance costs.
The loans. Secretary Jones said
will be made by the RFC Mortgage
Co. and will be for the duration OF
the emergency.
They will carry per cent inter-
est and will be made against i'm
proved real estate with an estab-
lished net earning capacity, includ-
ing stores, privately owned gasoline
and service stations, resort hotels
and business properties generally"
Mr.. Jones said the RFC Mortgage
Co. will consider applications for
three classes of loans:
Participation loans, refunding
loans in which the mortgage COM
pany will make a loan to refund all
or any portion of existing lien in
debtedness where loan cannot be
obtained from private sources, and
care and preservation loans. The
latter will be made on properties
that are unencumbered.

Prices Rolled Back
.0n Glass Containers
| $4,000, 900 Savings
To Consumers Seen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
yesterday rolled back the prices of
wide-mouth glass containers sold
to commercial packers and estimated
saving to consumers of at least
s40oo,00O would result.
The agency described the action
as one of the first major steps to
reduce the pressure on rising food
costs since the Presidents recent
hold the-line directive.
The order establishes ceiling prices
for all types of wide-mouth glass
containers at levels prevailing July
l. 1941, and replaces current ceilings
which reflected October, 1941, levels
OPA said price increases put into
effect in September and October
l941, we're found to be "unjusti-
fable"
Since container costs are used in
computing price ceilings for many
packaged foods the ceiling for many
packed-in-glass items will be af-
fected, OPA said, adding that the
reductions also will provide a
cushion to absorb other pressures
on packaged food prices.
The new ceilings, the agency said
are sufficiently high to give the glass
container industry more favorable
profits than were realized during
1886. 1899. 1910 and 1941, but under
profits realized during 1912.

Of 1910 production Manufacture of
machinery for this years crops was

Details Due Soon.
Mr.. Marshall said he expected de-
tails Of the new machinery program
to be announced soon to allow man

The l943 machinery supply has
been described as one of the weaker
links in the food production chain.

NEW YORK, May 13.-The Tex
tile Workers of America tCIO)
which asked yesterday that the
little steel formula of Is per cent
wage increases be discarded, voted
salary increases today ranging from
43 to so per cent for three interna-
tional officers of the union.
1t was pointed out that the sal
ary increases must be approved by
the Internal Revenue Department
under the Presidents order freezing
salaries over 5000 a year
The biennial convention of the
union voted the following increases:
Emil Rieve, PRESIDENT from $1,000
to $4,000, George Baldanzi, ex-
ecutive vice president, from $4,000
to $4,000, and William Pollock. Sec
retary- treasurer, from $1,000 to
$1,000
The TWU, one of the largest CIO
affiliates, adopted a resolution call
ing the little steel" formula "op-
pressive, unrealistic and dangerous, "
and asserting that living costs had
risen 80 per cent since January
194l.
The WLB formula permits wage
increases of IS per cent to COM
pensate for a rise in the cost of liv-
ing between January, 1941, and May
1912.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America oCIO> told the convention
that labor cannot tolerate any
strike or stoppage in its ranks He
added that the war cannot be won
without labor doing its part and
that we cannot permit grievances
no matter how real, to interfere with
cur obligations.
Asked by reporters if he was re-
ferring to John L. Lewis, United
Mine Workers president, Mr.. Hill
man replied
Let whoever the cap fits wear it. .
In his address the union leader
commented on the many differences
between labor and the War Labor
Board.
No agency in this wartime Gov
ernment of ours has given fuller
fairer or more honest consideration
to labor's problems or more devoted
effort to their just solution Mr..
