Supreme Court 10 Gef
Washington Gas Light
Rate Case on Appeal
fAnother Gas Pate

(Another Gas Rate Story Page B-1.)
The Office of Price Administration
will take the Washington Gas Light
Co. rate increase case to the Supreme
Court, it was learned today when the
OPA filed motion in the United
States Court of Appeals asking that
tribunal for "a further stay of man.
date" on its decision of July 26.
The Court of Appeals has upheld
the Public Utilities Commission
which granted the gas company
$20l 900 annual rate increase, effec-
tive last fall.
In upholding the PUG, the appel
late court reversed District Court
decision of last February, which held
the PUG order granting the in
crease was invalid in view of price,
control regulations.
The Court of Appeals asserted the
Price Control Act Clearly recognized
the power of the Public Utilities
Commission of the District of Co
lum and other regulatory bodies to
fix utility rates and leaves this
power undisturbed except that it
imposes upon utilities seeking an
increase the duty to give 80 days
notice to the Presidents agency and
to consent to its timely Intervention
before any general increase in rate
in effect on September Is, 1912, can
be made in a rate proceeding"
The motion filed today asked for
a furtherl stay of mandate on the
appellate courts ruling SO there will
be no action resulting from the de-
| cision for a period of 30 days, from
September 9, to give the OPA time
to file petition for writ of GER
tiorari with the Supreme Court.
The petition points out that a
previous stay had been granted by
the Court of Appeals up to the
September date.
The District Court decision was
stayed in February, pending consid-
Grafton of the case by the Court of
Appeals and the rate increase be-
came effective on November 16 The
gas company, however, already has
refunded part of the increase COL
lected because Of a provision in the
PUG order. This provision provided
for a refund if the conlpanys profit
was sufficient to cause it to pay an
excess in profit taxes.

Several of the Governors were
frankly disgruntled yesterday when
Chairman Harrison Spangler of the
Republican National Committee an
nounced the membership of the two
committees on foreign and domestic
policies. Each committee has six
members, and in each case the

two Representatives and two Gov

Governors. Others commented that
it looked as though Washington in
sisted on dominating the situation
There was no open fiareup, how
ever.
But the Governors did not hesi-
tate to make their influence felt.
They frankly told the members of
the committees what they expected
and desired out of this conference
1t was this insistence that shook the
committees and forced action now

Musicians Unjustified
In Ban on Making Of
Records, WLB Is Told
By the Associated Pres.


NEW YORK. Sept. IA. Walter
Socolow, counsel for six largest
concerns making musical transcript
tions for broadcast purposes, told
the War Labor Board today there
was no justification for the strike
of the American Federation OF Mu-
sicians against the industry.
Speaking at the opening Of hear
ings called by the WLB to deter
mine whether the musicians union
should end its 13-month- ban
on transcriptions, Mr.. Socolow said
staff musicians In the radio indus
try received an average OF s67.90 a
week for an average work week and
added: i
THE earnings of musicians from
radio broadcasting are greater than
any other group Of radio employees,
including engineers and executives,
and all of these earnings come from
relatively new employment oppor-
tunities created by the invention. -
When President James G. Petrillo
of the AIM called the strike on Au-
gust l, 1942, he asserted canned
music" provided to radio stations
by the transcription makers caused
or threatened to cause, unemploy-
ment among musicians. Mr.. Soco-
low told the WLB today, however
that there was no no unemploy-
ment among musicians, and said
that union musicians were paid a
total of $50 100000 a year for radio
broadcasting
Mr.. Socolow said proposals made
by Mr.. Petrillo during the strike
appeared to imply that all men,
bers of the musisians' union should
be guaranteed permanent liveli-
hood in the field OF music"
THE transcription companies, .
he added, "do not recognize any OBJ
legation to the members of the un-
ion whom they do not employ. The
union asserts that the manufac-
turers of an invention should either
go out of business or, in the al
tentative, agree that every person
who uses the invention should hire
or preferably pay the union for the
same number of men as should be
used if the invention did not
exist. -"
1.-The unions proposal is the more
astounding because recording was
invented before any living member
of the ATM embarked on his career
and hence he is confronted by M
/ conditions with which he was moi
| familiar when choosing his occupa-
ton"

Kaiser Informs WLB
.SIowdowns Are Issue
AT Brewster Plant

Henry j. Kaiser told the War La
Dor Board today that slowdowns had
been as much an issue as work
stoppages In the Brewster Aero
nautical townsville tPa.l plant,
where strike occurred two weeks
ago.
The West Coast shipbuilder, who
is chairman of the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the Brewster Arm, said he
was not charging labor or manage
rnent for the manpower situation at
Brewster, but hoped 1t would be dis
cussed SO that all the facts could be
learned.
Fred Rebel, Brewster president,
interrupted to say that only S per
cent Of the employees OF the Brew
ster plant worked on Labor Day
despite Government notices urging
them to continue production.
He said the union posted notices
asking the men to work Labor Day
but also put up notices informing
them they would be paid for eight
hours whether they worked or not,
The notice included the informa-
ton. he added, that the wLB had
denied request that Brewster
workers be given a 2 cents an hour
increase to compensate them for a
loss in holiday wages.
Thomas De Lorenzo, local union
president of the CIO United Auto
Workers at Jonesville, accused the
management of "a deliberate. well
planned, laid out attack to separate
the guards from the union.''
The strike grew out OF the Coast
Guards arrest of four plant guards
who refused to take posts assigned
to them by naval officer.
Mr.. De Lorenzo contended that
when the guards were sworn into
the Coast Guard they were assured
they would retain all union rights
and privileges. The rights, the
union contended, included the prac-
tice of bidding for preferred guard
posts according to seniority. An
i other major issue is whether the
guards should be members of the
overall bargaining unit at the
| plant,
