There were 13 American pilots
battling the Japs in a dogfght, but
/ it was 1t. Henry E. Matson's day.
1t. Matson, the Army reported
yesterday, shot down one Zero, COL
lided head-on with another at 300
miles an hour, jumped from his
burning plane, parachuted through
the midst of the air battle and was
rescued.
Flying a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk,
1t. Matson left Guadalcanal with
three other Army pilots on a routine
patrol. They were warned of ap-
preaching Japanese planes, and
went up to $4,000 feet to give battle
over the Russell Islands.
Seeing Is Zeros approach and
dive on three other American planes,
the four P-40 roared down for an
attack. 1t. Matson got on the tail
of an enemy plane, fired a burst
into it. 1t blew up, and as he slid
beneath the wreckage he found an
other Zero dead ahead. He fired, and
the zero's cowling ripped away and
fragments flew from the engine in

official and to decide upon an agency
which could settle any and all disputes
peaceably without interrupting pro-
duction.
The Voluntary Way Worked
AS a result of this conference, the
National War Labor Board was estab-
lished. 1t was set up as a tri-partite
body, with an equal number of public,
labor and industry representatives. 1t
was empowered by Executive Order to
function as an independent agency of
the Government. 1t was directed to
Judge each case on the merits and its
decisions were to be final.
Labor voluntarily agreed to go
along on this basis because it was
democratic and because it promised a
just determination of any and all dis
putes that may arise. Labor unions
agreed not to strike for any cause but
to submit their disputes to the Board
for decision.
A year passed an eventful year
during which the machinery of the
Board was tested and found adequate
Then the impact of imitation, with
sharp rises in the cost of living, be-
gan to oppress the workers. Demands
for wage adjustments flooded the
Board. The workers were not trying
to profit from the war. They merely
sought to restore a just relationship
between wages and prices.
The Board, after considering the
facts, established the "Little Steel"
formula. 1t declared prices had in
creased Is per cent between Jan. 1,
1941 and May, 1912. 1t agreed to in
crease wages to similar exent. When
strict application of this formula
would not be sufficient to render JUS

to hold prices down. But again labor
went along.
Last Spring it became evident that
the cost of living was running out of
bounds. At the same time Byrnes
stripped the WLB of power to make
any wage adjustments beyond the
strict limitations of the Little Steel''
formula. When labor protested it was
promised that prices would be "rolled
Back" We are still waiting for that
promise to be made good.
Finally, the coal miners wage dis
put began to assume critical proper
tions. Word was passed confidential
ly" to AFL representatives on the
WLB that sacrifices should be made
in wage cases involving AFL work
ers- like the airframe and packing
house cases-in order to establish a
backlog of precedents with which to
"stop the coal miners" This the AFL
refused Indignantly to consent to.
And now the truth is that the WLB
no longer operates as an independent
agency. Several of it's public members
are directed how to decide cases by
Byrnes and his successor Fred Vinson.
Since they hold the balance of power
on the Board, it can no longer be said
that the WLB judges each case on
the merits.
Such dictation is not consonant with
democracy. 1t is in direct violation of
the basic agreement under which the
WLB was set up originally. Together
with the Governments failure to
"hold the line" on prices, it is respon-
sible for the nations present labor
crisis.

The
F FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

The worst labor crisis of the war
is now at hand Sensational headlines
on the coal miners and the railway
! workers wage disputes make that
evident. But these large groups of
workers aren't the only ones affected.
Unrest is prevalent among workers
all down the line
If the Government is disturbed
about this situation, as it is and
should be, it has only itself to blame.
We don't like to refer to the Govern
ment as "it," but if we get more per-
sonal what we say is bound to be in
terpreted politically and what we have
to say has no connection with politics
whatever. 1t is just question Of dol
lars and cents and how far they can
be stretched. It's no longer a question
of bread and butter-it's just bread
The newspaper headlines don't tell
the real story and the newspaper edi-
torials merely obscure the facts. We
intend to relate the facts here-the
events leading up to what may be a
tragedy.

Pearl Harbor when organized labor
gave the nation it's no-strike pledge.

WAR MANPOWER
COMMISSION
OUTLINES PLAN

Two major steps to accomplish
greater utilization and a more order
ly distribution of Hamilton's dwin-
ddling labor reservoir materialized
formally today with the announce
ment of the amendments to the Area
Employment Sterilization Plan. Ma
ior revisions include:
l. All hiring of critical workers
channeled through the United
States Employment Service.
2. Further Tightening of con-
trolls over migration in and
out of the area.
"The changes in the Plan were
adopted to conform to the new ma
tional requirements" John M. Baker,
VINO Area Director, explained, "and
the revisions reflect the increased
stringency in our local labor supply
that has been developing in the past
several months"
The plan will be operative through
out all of Butler County except the
city of Middletown, Lemon and Madi-
son townships, and all of Warren
County except Franklin township.
The Hamilton Area is now in a
Group III labor market status, two
| brackets removed from number one
rating. If the area were to be reclassi-
fed to Group II Status, local indus
try would risk the loss of future con-
tracts. To avoid this, Mr.. Baker ex-
planned that he is hopeful that both
| local labor and management will con-
tribute wholeheartedly with him to
accomplish greater utilizatiomof local
labor, more extensive use of women
and integration of minority groups.
'This plan with it's new refnements
represents a voluntary community
effort to mobilize and distribute our
workers on an equitable basis" Mr..
Baker said.
The revised Hamilton Area EN-
ployment Sterilization Plan was
| adopted by the local VINO Labor
Management Committee after a series
of meetings. Members of the local
committee are:
Mr.. Arvid S. Anderson, Champion
Paper and Fibre Company
Mr. George BRANDED, American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
Mr.. Dean R. Dove, Western States
Machine Company.
Wr. Walter Eisele, General Machin-
cry Corporation.
Mr.. Charles Fogg, Remington Arms
Company, Inc.
Mr.. Russell Frazier, Committee for
Industrial Organization.
Mr.. Herbert Schwenker, Committee
for Industrial Organization.
Mr.. Joseph Spaulding, American
Federation of Labor.
The new plan has been approved
in Columbus by E. L. keenan,, Ohio

wages and prices at the levels pre-
vailing on Sept. Is, 1912. Former
Supreme Court Justice Byrnes was
named Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor.
The new setup was another bitter
pill for labor to swallow because no
provision was made for adjusting
wages to make up for increased living
costs between May and September,
1912, and because labor had lost con-
fidence in the desire or ability of OPA

tice, it provided several "outs" for
further adjustments.
Labor did not relish this medicine,
this new-fangled idea of Government
regulation of wages, but it agreed to
take it in order to help prevent infa-
ton and to further the war effort.
