Equality of Salaries
For Women Called
Aid to Morale

The Importance OF an impartial
wage standard for men and women
workers during the war and after
ward was emphasized last night by
Miss Mary Anderson, director of the
Women'S Bureau of the Labor De-
partment.
Speaking at dinner meeting of
the Business and Professional Wom-
ems Clubs of the District, Miss An
derson warned against lower wage
standard for women replacing men
recruited for combat service.
In our fight for democracy we
cannot permit such an undemocratic,
unsound procedure" she declared.
Paying women the same rates as
men helps to maintain the morale
of the women on the job as we'll as
the men at the front. when they are
confident that wage rates will not be
broken down." she added
Miss Anderson pointed out that
the equal y-for-w women policy has
been steadily advocated by the
Women'S Bureau since its origin in
1918. Progress has been made in
adoption of the principle by indus
try, labor and Government, she
pointed out. but she urged that
Women's organizations in particular
work for an all-out victory on the
equal pay front"
Speaking on The Winning of the
Peace Mrs. Marian Britt, legisla-
tive representative of the National
Federation of Business and Profess
sional Women's Clubs, outlined the
objectives of the organization in it's
program for the critical postwar
period.
The Legislative Committee, Mrs
Britt said, has sent letter to vari-
Gus members of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee of the Senate, in
support of the Ball resolution COM
mitting this country now to postwar
collaboration with other nations.
I'VE also have resolved to work
for the appointment of a woman to
the peace table" she continued
for there are women in the United
States who certainly are capable of
sitting down and helping to plan
the peace"
Each speakers talk was followed
by forum discussion. Mrs Ellen S.
Woodward, member of the Social
Security Board, was among those
participating.
The program, which included a
talk on posture by Mrs. Edith Eek
ert, was arranged by Miss Nina Kim
sella. national chairman Of the Pub
lie Affairs Committee. The meeting

NH Seeks Aid Of All To Roll Back Prices
(Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) this week, the New Haven group was meeting at 100 Church Street, to dis cuss plans and possibly set a date for a proposed meeting of citizens on the Green to air their views on this sub ject.
 Co-chairmen Mrs. Rose Bruns- ALL, and Edward McCrone, C.I.O., stated: ''This is not just la- bOr's fight, it is the fight of all citizens and consumers, and we in- vite the cooperation of all citizens to participate. Interested persons should get in touch with the Joint Committee at either IO9 Church Street, or at the Labor Temple, l37 COffe Street.
 Already there has been considerable interest shown by number of per sons. Mayor John w. Murphy has promised his full cooperation. The following groups have indicated their willingness to support the campaign on the New Haven home front:
 The League of Women Voters, the Conn Conference on Social Legisla- tion and Conn. Consumers League, and the New Haven Coop Store.
 Henry A. Porter, meat merchant and member of the O.P.A. Price Panel, told the committee at its last meeting that there wasn't enough available meat of the desirable kind and quality released to the area and the state to fill more than half of the red stamp allotment.
 The Committee passed the follow ing resolution:
 ssWhereas, a serious food short age threatens not only the morale, but also the health of the State of Connecticut, and tends to impair the war effort seriously, and "Whereas, it has been disclosed by government officials, whOlesal- CTS and retailers that the supply of

 Since early youth, DeCross has divided his interest between music, specifically piano playing and ar- ranging, and the theatre. As a boy of ten he took odd jobs about the movie houses, and put up posters.
 Later DeCross organized an or chestra of his own, and was able to bring his two interests together by playing in the orchestra pit of the movie houses before the advent of sound pictures. After quitting high school in 1922, he went to work as clerk in the upholstering department of the Mendel and Har- ris store in New Haven. He taught piano playing in the evenings.
 DeCrOss went to work as a pro- jectiOnist at the Lyric theatre in 1927, and since has been an opera tor at the Dixwell, the old Globe, and the College, where he is now employed.
 DeCross was born Dec. IF, 1904 at Milford. He is married, and the DeCrOsses have two daughters.
 He feels that in the near future that there will be greater co-opera- tion and unity between employer and worker, provided labor achieves unity and cooperation among it. self, thereby using its fullest bar gaining power.

WLB Streamlines It's Procedure

WASHINGTON. = Workers and employers throughout the country were assured of speedier handling of both wage and dispute cases as a re- suit of two developments announced by the Natl. War Labor Board this week. --'
 Regional boards have retooled under the May 12 c1arifcation of the "ho1d the line" executive order and are now turning out rulings on voluntary wage and salary cases at record speed the W.L,B. said, and tripartite review committees are being set up in Wash lngton to speed> decisions on the W.L:B.s cases and to cut through the backlog.
 Our goal" VILE. Chairman Will ham H. Davis said, "is a complete turnover every 20 or 30 days. In other words, we expect that applicants may soon expect a ruling on the average ot only to 4 weeks after they sub init proposed adjustment"

 War Against RaceBarriiers
Father Haas Says Discrim. ination In U. s. Must
 Be Eliminated

WASHINGTON-The newly ap- pointed Committee on Fair Employ ment Practice adjourned its first meeting here this week with pledge to give every industrial American a chance to serve his country"
 First action of the committee was to agree to set up l2 regional offices and to proceed with cases involving charges of discrimination on South. ern railroads, group of war in. dustries in Detroit, and the Capital Transit Co. in Washington, D. C. The railroad hearing was scheduled for Sept. Is, l6 and IF and dates for hearings on the other two cases will be set as soon as it appears that efforts to settle them by negotiation have failed.
 The FEPC is also working out an agreement with the War Manpower Commission to strengthen enforce ment of executive order 8802, assur- ing non-discrimination because of race, color, creed and national origin.
 'sThe newly appointed committee has accepted the responsibility placed upon it to promote the full est utilization, of all available man. power regardless of race, creed, color or national Origin," FEPC Chairman Francis J. Haas said in a formal statement. ''The objective is to further the prosecution of the war, worker morale, and national unity. This duty, to give every in- dustrial American a chance to serve his country, must be achieved. It is obviously basic to democracy. It is a war necessity. It is what all right minded people want.
 The committee is conscious that this sound objective must be pursued where wartime crowding in houses, busses and recreation grounds have bred irritation among decent people, and have afforded irresponsible per sons the opportunity for shameful mob violence This is cause for grave con- cern, but not for despair.
 T learned last week in Detroit, where mixed races make tanks and airplanes side by side, that the work CTS in war plants did not lose their heads at the time when hoodlums were rioting in the streets of Detroit. This committee takes hope from the de- cency and patriotism of the over whelming majority of the American people on this issue, and will carry out its duty in that light"

Greater economy in the use of fuel has been the goal of power plant en- gineers for many years and they have developed machinery producing re- markable results-turbines operated with high-pressure and hightempera- ture steam.
 These principles now are being en- ployed on American warships where fuel economy is even more important than in land-located electric power stations. In less than decade the fuel savings on large, modern warships has been increased as much as s per cent in some cases compared with pre- vious engine installations.
 Not only does this result in valu- able savings in scarce fuel oil and transportation facilities for such oil, but also extends the cruising radius of some vessels by a thou- sand miles or more and permits them to carry more armament. Ii also has the effect of creating more tonnage by keeping more ships on the line at all times.

Union Made Engines GiVe Our Ships |tEdge"

A. F. of L. and C.I.O. union mem- bers are now working on new-design engines that will give the ledge" to American fighting ships, according to an announcement made by the Navy Department. These engineering devel- opments were made during peace time by the American power plant indus try and are now being adapted to American fighting ships and many times mean the difference between life and death.
 Along with the rapid improve ment in gunnery and armor has come a corresponding advance in the means of propelling vessels at high rates of speed with the lowest possible fuel consumption. The steam turbine that powers most ships is similar in principle to that which turns the huge generators that supply electric power through out the country. On land the steam is generally produced with coal heat, while at sea oil generally is the fuel.

Co-Ops Are Cutting High Cost Of Dying

N. KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The first of series of statewide legal at tacks on the burial co-operatives of Iowa has been thrown out of court in Vinto, Iowa.
 The case was an custer action brought by Iowa's attorney general at the instigation of the state mor- ticians association, which feared the increase of burial co-operatives which are already serving 60,0O0 members in the state, providing first class burial services at a fraction of the going rate. The first of the series of actions was directed against the Keystone Burial Association, a funeral co-opera- tive with HOO family members in Benton, Poweshiek and Tama coun- ties.
