Living Costs Up 91o
Since Peurl Hdrbor
Month Ending December Is
Showed Rise. According
To Secretary Perkins

WaShingtOn.-An increase of one.
half of l per cent in the cost of living
between Nov. Is and Dec. Is, was
shown in report issued by Secretary
Perkins that brought the rise for the
first year of United States participa-
ton in the war to per cent
The report comes out in the midst
of developing campaign among
groups of organized labor to break
through the wage StabiliZatiOn cell
ing" of the National War Labor Board
which limits pay rises to 10 per cent
to compensate for added living costs
between January, 1941, and May, 1912
No provision has been made for fur
ther increases to absorb added living
costs since May and it is this Omis-
sion which the labor leaders attack.
A decision made public by the WLB
last week indicated it's determination,
for the present at least, to abide by the
Little Steel" formula, which is the
subject of the union criticism.
One WLB public member, Wayne L.
Morse, indicated at San Francisco that
he may be inclined to go along with
demands for higher pay unless the
other government agencies can keep
living costs in bounds, but other board
members were reluctant to express any
comment for publication pending the
raising of a specific issue.
Miss Perkins report showed that
the 10 per cent of the food bill still
uncontrolled by the Office of Price
Administration is continuing to rise at
the rate of per cent per month, caus-
ing the index of all food prices to go
up IL per cent between midNOvember
and mid-December. The controlled
foods went up only one half of per
cent.
In reporting per cent rise in
living costs since Pearl HarbOr, Miss
Perkins observed that the total in
crease in the cost of living since the
war in Europe began in August, 1880
has been %, per cent.

freezing wages II per cent above their
levels on Jan. /, 1912, gained mOmen-
tum with an announcement by the
Allied Printing Trades Council of
Greater New York that it would call
ton of Labor unions in this city "to
plan program to meet the mounting
cost Of living" and to lift the WLE
wage ceiling
The program will include demands
for adoption of rent control legislation
in this State and more effective con.
troll of food prices, with opposition to
introduction of national sales tax.
The council represents the local or
sanizations Of five international print
ing trades unions and speaks for %
900 employees.
Workers Called Restless
"Ihe motion to call a conference
was unanimously adopted after many
delegates spoke in sharp terms about
the rising reStleSsness Of organized
workers. the announcement declared.
Pressure for new wage demands to
meet ever-soaring living costs was uni
versal, the delegates said
Action BY Other Groups
The full scope of the drive for re-
toto ,f eh 81
expected to become apparent this week
by action in other sectors of organized
labor. The policy committee of the
United Mine Workers, meeting this
week in Washington, is held likely to
demand wage increases for 10000
bituminous coal miners. Negotiations
for new agreement between the
miners are expected to ask for an in
crease of 80 day above the prevail
ing basic pay schedules.
Wage increases of 80 per cent are
also being demanded by railroad bro
therhoOds representing 100000 work
erS.
The unions are basing their demands
for increases on the fact that indus
trial profits continue to be high and
that the rise in the cost of living has
Overtaken the wage readjuStment
limitations set in the Little Steel
formula. They also point to the an
nouncement of Prentiss NJ. Brown, sue
cessOr to Leon Henderson as Price Ad-
ministrator, that living costs may be
expected to rise ut the rate of about
One-half of l per cent month.

Biggest Part Of PdY Raise Requests
Coming To WLB From Employers

Davis declared that ''it is great
tribute to the patience of American
industry and labor" that they have
accepted the restrictive phases of the
wage-stabilization program lin such a
spirit of cooperation"
Partisan interests have been dropped
by members of the board representing
the public, industry and labor lin the
face of the heavy responsibility now
imposed upon u.s." he said.
"!As a matter of fact" he added, 1.-THE
labor members of the board realize
fully, as do the workers they repre-.
sent, that labor bears the brunt of any
spiraling of the cost of living, and that
drastic measures, no matter how
foreign to trade unionism as usual
must be adopted to forestall imitation.

aters, school halls, public auditoria, etc.
The cost of renting these is borne
comparatively by the locals and indus
tries. except where the shows are
offered in the war services hOStels and
camps where the facilities are sup
piled by the host units, such as regi-
ments, welfare organizations, etc.
The aim of the revue is to improve
morale for both civilians and serv-
icemen and the entire theme Of the
production is on the necessity of win
ming the war, and that this can be
achieved only through complete CO.
operation of not only labor and indus
try but everybody. The performances
are given in the mornings and after
moons as we'll as nights, and always to
capacity audiences.

now making most of the requests for
wage increases.
Since Oct. 3, employers have made
75 per cent of the applications for pay
raises, Chairman William H. Davis Of
the National War Labor Board told
the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
Davis said that the world is a
little tOpsy-turvy these days." and
went on to explain, saying:
Here's the Roosevelt administration
bending every effort to hold wages
down and employers standing in line
asking the Government to let them be
raised. I shouldn't be terribly sur
prised some morning to read in the
newspapers that the Communist party
had gone on record against taxes on
corporate incomes"

Fed Up With Lies

Enemy Of Labor Denounced
For Continued Misrep-
resentution

New YOrk.-Readers of the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch, one of the
SOuth's most influential papers, will
hencefOrth be spared the burden of
reading WesbrOOk Pegler's daily dia-
tribes against labor and the New Deal.
The action against the nations prime
sOurpuss was taken by Virginius Dab
ney, editor of the Richmond paper,
who became incensed by the column
lists continued misrepresentation.
Background of his action was de-
scribed in copyrighted story in "In
Fact" weekly newsletter published
by George Seldes.
Seldes contrasted Dabney's decision
with the refusal of five Connecticut
papers to meet requests of union dele
gates that they also ban Pegler's
poison.
Explains Action
The es-Dispatch, in explaining
it's decision said:
"Mr. Pegler may hate the (Vice
President Wallace) program . But
he cannot misrepresent another man in
this newspaper by placing in his
mouth words he did not utter, or by
charging him with beliefs he does not
hold, and then fall back on freedom of
speech
1T is not on account of WestbrOOk
Peglers argument, but because of his
misrepresentation that we have ceased
to carry his articles. When he charged
Vice President Wallace with being by
intent a poisoner of American minds,
he not only lost our confidence, he also
lost a customer"
