His silence broke the spell which
had held the others, leaning to
his harshly whispered words,
their faces blank white. They
Strengthened themselves stiffly,
took their eyes from the narrator
for the first time, and looked at
each other unSeeingly.
The door behind them opened,
closed, noiselessly. Doctor Craft
was there to issue commands: alb

roughly to Candy, sprawled for
ward in his chair to listen, ''you
go home and get to bed. You're
just about all in yourself" He
went out the door, closing it with
infinite care behind him.
Back of them, Timothy Hume
leaned family against the wall,
and then let himself down into a
chair because the droning in his
ears made him too dizzy to stand
up.
Miss Peck had been the first to
collect herself enough to speak.
THE doctor doesn't allow anyone
with her, Mrs Washburn. He ev-
en- had the nurse sit out in the
living room with the door ajar.
It's not only her eyes, you know.
Nor the loss of blood. It's the re-
suits of shock. The doctor :"
ooh, did he? We'll, all right.
I'll do what the nurse did then
If the doors ajar, 1 can sit close
to it and talk through a crack.
I'm just a useless old woman, you
know. I've nothing else to do"
Timothy heard again the raw
insolent rudeness of Canby's
voice. Say, that's a swell idea
of yours, Mrs. Washburn! Too
good for you to keep to yourself,
by heck! I'll stay with you on
that, I'll sit there too. I'm just a
useless young man, you know. I
haven't got anything else to do,
either, see? Any more'n you
have. Skiing's over for this

Canby's impudent grin, as he
looked around the table, careless
of making a fool of himself.
And because he was there, al
ways there, Candy was the one
who welcomed her way back to
health. Leaden-limbed, impo-
tent, incredulous, Timothy had
watched the current getting away
from him, faster and faster. The
moment had passed - when had
it gone by him? No, no, it had
never been there - when, risking
all on one stroke, he might have
given Candy the peremptory or

boldly, and leave him alone with
Susan.

Calls On President To End
BYrnes Right To Review
Wage Rulings

Cleveand.-A special meeting of the
executive board of the Congress of In

President Roosevelt to withdraw the
authority of James f. Byrnes, director
of economic stabiliZatiOn, to review
War Labor Board wage adjustments
necessary to eliminate gross inequi-
ties or to aid in the effective prosecu.
ton of the war"
The meeting unanimously adopted a
resolution asking the President to
grant to the WLB 1.-The appropriate
final authority without the hamperin:,
interference from Mr.. Byrnes" to
make the necessary adjustments.
The resolution went beyond the con
cessions made by Mr.. Byrnes when he
thority over wage adjustments and war
aid but retained the right of review.
This authority was taken from the
board on April 8 by the President 5
''hOld-the-line" order.
After paying Il tribute to the ''re-
markable contribution" of the WLB,
the resolution declared that Mr..
Byrnes, the Office of Price Admins
tration and Congress had not dis
charged the responsibility by stabil-
izing prices as of Sept. Is, 1912.
1t further demanded that prices be
rolled back to September, 1942, and
favored the use of subsidiaries for that
purpose.
'The American people will not toler-
ate continued pitiful excuses for fur
ther delay in the accomplishment Of
this objective" it stated.
The War Manpower Commission
was criticized for preventing workers
leaving one essential industry for an
other, Il directive which the resolution
stated reflects bankruptcy of
thought and program"
Demand was made that the commits

win the war: expanding employment,
increases in hours of work and shifts
of workers from low-paid civilian to
higher skilled and higher paid war
jobs"
Therefore only one quarter of this
40 per cent rise G.e., 1.2 per cent of
September 1912, payrOlls) was ac-
counted for, he said, by changes in the
price of labor (basic wage and salary
rates., the only factor over which the
board has any control.
Thus" he proceeded, ''the income
of wage and salary earners has in
creased mostly because more men
worked longer hours in war indus
tries"
He said that the estimate of eight
cases out of 5000 in which prices We're
affected by wage increases was arrived
at by beginning with the 9S.6 per cent
of approved wage increases. These, he
said, have been approved as voluntary
requests by employers or-and EN-
plOyeeS.
OF these voluntary applications, he
added 99.2 per cent stated that no
price increases would be sought, while
only eight out of every 1000 applica-
tions suggested that price increases
would be asked if wage adjustments
were approved and two-thirds of the
requests for price increases were re-
fused by the OpA
The letter concluded:
~ think it is also worth calling to
the attention of the Senate that II per
cent of the voluntary applications for
wage adjustments We're filed by EN-
plOyerS alone. Only % per cent of the
applications were entered Jointly by
unions and employers.
The cases I'm which the employees
ask for wage increases and the EN-
ployerS do not join with them come to
the board as disputes. Only IA out of
every 100 wage adjustments made by
the board have been made in dispute
cases where the initiative came from
the workers."

First Breuk Made
In "Woge Freeze
Order Modified By Director
BYrnes For Food
Professors

Washington, ID. c. GLNS). - Pro-
cesSing of food for the United States
armed forces is more important than
spanking John l.. Lewis.
That is one OF the more obvious
reasons why Economic StabiliZer
James +. Byrnes this week relaxed the
wage freeze insofar as it applied to
Gamers and other professors of sea-
Sonal and periShable food and feed
products. Later he restored to the
board practically all the powers taken
away by the "hold the line" order of
April 8.
Mr.. Byrnes "held the line" as long
as he could But he gave in just as
SeabrOok Farms, Inc, professors OF
Birdseye Foods, sent word To him that
unless he relaxed his stand they would
today begin paying whatever wages
were necessary to fill Army and Navy
orders for foods and were ready TO
spend S2IO.OOO carrying their case to
Court
While the entire National War La
Dor Board was discussing with ByrneS

members from resigning in Il body as
Il result of the April s order removing
the boards powers TO adjust wages,
RyrneS practically restored to the
Board all of its former powers in re-
Ia, M In, r,
This action suggests that the boards
powers will be restored for all other
industries in time, even in the coal
industry.
OF course the boards publicity state
ment said that "the directive does not
represent Il departure from the hold
the line order of April s. But that $
"baloney," according to AFL Butcher
Workmen who negotiated the contract
with Seabrook Farms which NWLH
could not approve because it raised
wages more than the l5H limit per
mitted under the boards Little Steel
Formula. 1t is baloney, says union
leaders, because the process of baSing
rates on averages of common labor in
the area automatically eliminates in
equities and inequalities, and ii might
be possible for Il former lowWage en-
plOyer TO increase his rates 500 to
meet that average. In, addition, tn"
order permits Il dif'erential up to s
cents an hour to be paid food pro-
cessOrS above the rates paid common
labor on farms in the vicinity.
or course the policy directive issued
by Mr. Byrnes said it is aimed TO
correct SlbstandardS of living but
actually it gave the board power under
the head of "SubStandardS' to correct
inequities. Furthermore, Byrnes Spe-
officially restored the phase ito aid in
the effective prosecution Of the war,
under which authority the board can
exercise considerably flexible powers.
The job of determining final wage
rates in the canning industry is moi yet
finished, and depends somewhat upon
determination of what are the mini
mum going rates for common labor in
the particular labor market area but
it is conceded that rates must be fixed
high enough to keep labor working in
the canning industry. our fighters must
be fed.
Furthermore, wages must NOT be
raised so high that higher food prices
will be necessary but the professors
are not worried about that. Prices of
