Of The Industry

Observation-Disclosures of all re-
StrictiOnS on the use of steel for
civilian purposes was urged upon
Chairman Donald VI. Nelson by Philip
Murray, president Of the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations, since appar-
emily there are insufficient orders from
war procurement agencies TO engage
all of the industry'S capacity.
Writing to Mr.. Nelson in behalf of
the United Steel Workers of America,
of which he is also president, Mr..
Murray stated that such a step would
not interfere with the war effort.
1T can be done within the frame
work of the Controlled Materials
Plan" he suggested. This plan should
he amended to provide that the steel
mills produce CMP orders first and
that the mills be free 70 fill orders not
authorized under CMP after they have
filled all CMP orders on their books.
In the case of certain forms of
steel, like plates and sheets, which are
momentarily below demand, such an
amendment to the CNIP will assure
their continued full production for war
uses by prohibiting their production

Mutt, chairman of the War Manpower
Commission.
In a summary of manpower progress
up to Dec |. Mr. McNutt said that
persons now unemployed are almost
entirely workers in transition from one
job to another and unemployableS.
Future growth in the working force
must come from housewives and others
outside the regular labor market" he
sion in war industry must come
through acceleration of transfers from
non-war jobs.
Mr. McNutt cited methods used to
bring the nations civilian labor force
to its present 51,5O0OO0. These teen
niQueS, he said, are Saving" the labor
of tens of thousands of workers and
are bringing about a more efficient
utilization of American manpower.
Some OF The Methods Used
Among the methods are the follow
ing:
l. Extend development of local en-
plOyment Stabilization plans and vigor'
Gus action on the part of major or
ganiZatiOnS of labor, agriculture and
management to make them effective.
. Establishment of employment cell

Il violation of our laws and the local
intends to put stop to such practice
once and for all. The guilty parties

it seems some brothers seem to think
they were doing no wrong in making
settlements for their individual jobs.
President Kelly made it very plain
that any further complaints reaching
the local where individual settlements
have been made, the local will take
swift action and ignorance of the law
will be no excuse.
President Kelly asked Brother Harry
Podewels to take the chair while he
spoke on subject which is of vital
Importance to every member of the
trade. He told of reading a statement
by William Green where he requested
that a list of workers tools which are
now hard to get, due to the present
war, be sent to him in Washington and
he would take it up with government
officials and see if some remedy could
be found. He asked that Il committee
be appointed to contact President Duffy
and see if SpOnges could not be listed
as essential to our industry and see if
some relief could not be obtained for
