Estimated cost of equipping eight
"rest-breaks" is 100000. Since la
Dor and construction materials are
not available, the government has
taken over eight large dwellings
with the consent of the owners.
Because of the aversion of British
workers to charity. each worker
will pay small sum for room and
board. In this way it is hoped that
the 'rest-breaks" will eventually
pay for their own operation.
Men and women in factories and
shipyards who show signs of being
worn out by long stretches of over
time will be certified by examining
physicians as n need of rest. Ten
thousand men and women will be
accommodated in these rest homes
during the year.

Murray. Curran
Praise Work Of
Foreign Born

New York. April 24-High tribute
to the contributions of the foreign
born in the United States was paid
this week by Presidents Philip
Murray of CIO and Joseph Curran
of the Natl. Maritime Union, in
messages to a "United Nations in
America" dinner held by the Amer
ican Committee for the Protection
of the Foreign Born.
America is a nation peculiarly
indebted to the devotion and gen.
erols loyalty of peoples from every
land and every race and creed"
Murray said. "At moment when
the essential fraternity of men has
been called in question by the ter
rible instrument of war, it becomes
US all as good Americans to reiter-
ate our devotion TO that fraternity
which is the spiritual center of the
cause for which we are fighting"
Congratulating the Committee
"for the splendid work 1t is doing
protecting the democratic rights of
the foreign-born Americans" Cur
ran said that "the loyalty of these
people and the contribution they
are making in this war against Fas-
cism has been proved many times

the order with miSgivingS, and
called for return to the War Labor
Board Of authority to determine
the validity" Of wage agreements.
The Executive Board said that
withdrawal of the WLB's authority
was positive defect in national
economic policy in wartime.
"The taking from the WLB of it's
authority to determine validity of
either voluntary or disputed wage
agreements which eliminate gross
inequalities and inequities in the
wage structure. is step which will
tend to destroy rather than improve
harmonious industrial relations" !"
the Board stated.
This freeze Of one Of the basic
elements OF collective bargaining
represents appeasement of those
forces in this country which have
been busily selling the idea that
all wage increases are initiation
airy.

Inferentially, the Truman report
made a further endorsement of the
CIO charges of inefficiency in the
declaration that "the responsibility
for the continuance of wasteful
practices will rest on the VISA"
adding the warning note: "It should
speak with a firm voice"
"The Truman Committee ac-
cepts, with few reservations, all
the VISA alibis on why the job
Is not being DONE" the CLIO mari
time group said. "These alibis Of
VISA show that this agency Is
unable and unwilling to face the
facts Of the war shipping crisis"
Charges made by Pres. Murray
and the CIO unions three weeks
ago, and reaffirmed in the state
ment, include: Delays in loading
ships, punching of ships in ports
not equipped to handle them, lack
Of planning in routing of ships,
wastage of shipping space in long
and costly voyages in ballast, use
of sorely needed ships as floating
warehouses" etc.
"The organized workers in the
shipping industry know the prob
lens and know how they must be
solved" the CIO committee said.

Earlier action taken in New York
by leaders of the third largest CIO
union, the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers, described
the Presidents order as "a distinct
retreat from the position enunciat-
ed by the President a year ago in
the seven point program"
To the UAW board, the provi-
slons of both order and directive
are "a menace not only to labor,
but to national mobilization for
victory as WELL" Both unions
called for q vigorous return to
the entire seven point program,
with special emphasis on the roll
back OF prices to September Is,
1912, levels and on ironing out
the terrific gap between wages
and the cost of living.
The UE called for increased Ia
Dor pressure to work vigorously
for the strengthening of the order
in the respects where it is weak,
for the amendment or resembling
of the order in the points where
it is wrong and for the support of
the order where it helps advance

week.
The statement was made follow
ing release of a Truman report
which, while admitting the reality
of many of the accusations made
by CIO Pres. Philip Murray and
four CIO maritime unions. at the
same time declared flatly that "the
request of the maritime unions for
participation in the control OF ship
and shore operations and in the
training Of seamen" should not be
granted.
"CIO President Philip Murray
and the CIO maritime unions
presented a plan to increase the
efficiency of the merchant marine
by 25 per cent" the Maritime
Committee said. "This plan has
not been seriously considered,
though the Truman Committee
readily accepts the War Shipping
Administration's lame explana-
tiOns of why the unions proposals
have not been acted upon"
While the Truman report repeat
ed the WSA's alibi that the routing
of ships between here and North
Africa in sand ballast and other
ship wasting practices could not
be avoided. it also said that "the
subject is of such Importance that
the committee is undertaking a

manded a roll-back on prices. an
incentive pay system. and a COM
plete clearing up of wage inequali-
ties that now hold down morale,
