Chest supported agencies, ac-

With so many more women
working today than ever before

for them by the Day Nursery at

young for school are well taken
care of all day long while mothers

Many Of these mothers are wives

Opposed TO
Piece Work

DETROIT, Sept. "a. = R. J,
Thomas, president of the UAW-
CIO, today declared that ne will
continue to urge auto, aircraft and
other workers within our jurisdic-
ton to reject overtures for a re-
turn to piece work.
President Thomas made his state
ment in a joint letter which ne and
William Stevenson, regional d.
rector of the union on Detroit {
west side, sent to William H. Dav-
is, chairman of the National Labor
Relations Board.
Thomas and Stevenson said that
while opposing extension of in
centive plans" or piece work, they
will make every effort to protect
the interests of the workers who
are now operating under such sys-
TENS, They accordingly protested
to the NWLB against a directive
and majority opinion by the De-
troit Regional War Labor Board in
current case involving piece-rate
workers at the Timken-Detroit
Axle Co.
The UAW-CIO officials contend
ed that the regional Boards deci-
sion permits management to re-
duce the earnings of piece-rate
workers below previous hourly
earnings.

demands of large convention like

Wages on
Slidinq Scale?

CHICAGO-(FP) - Wages will
be geared to the cost of living on
a month-to-month basis for 21,00O
employees of Intl. Harvester if a
proposal of the United Farm
Equipment & Metal Workers
(CIO) to the Natl. War Labor
Board is accepted. The union aims
at the abandonment of the Little
Steel formula in favor of one
which would allow a rise in the
living cost index to produce an
identical percentage rise in wages.
Labor's support of the Little Steel
formula was conditional upon sta
bilization of prices as we'll as
wages, the union says. Therefore
it argues, congressional failure to
roll back prices has released it
from further adherence to it.

WASHINGTON = (FP) - The
house Sept. % unanimously ap-
proved an emergency allotment of
S18,6OO, 900 for the rest of the
fiscal year to provide maternity

The money directly finances
state-operated plans, which are
first approved by the Children's

Since last March when the pro-
gram was started, $4,000 cases

the convention with respect to
them.
Political Action Stressed
Delegates and officers of the
UAW are unanimous in their con-
demnation of the Smith -Connally
Act and state that out of the COM
ing convention will come a strong
movement for political action
against a Congress which has
shown its opposition to organized
labor in many ways.
Many conferences are taking
place among the various groups in
the UAW and great interest is be-
ing shown in the election of Off
GERS which will take place during

Radio Time
Demanded
By CIO

WASHINGTON, Sept. %
(FP)-Lifting Of the National
Association Of Broadcasters'
blanket restriction Of unions
right to buy radio time was
demanded by Len De Caux, CIO
publicity director, before the Fed
eral Communications Commission
Sept. 20.
At the same time two specific
instances of discrimination against
the United Auto Workers (CIO)
were placed before the FEC by
UAW officials with demands for
an investigation.
Testifying at FEC hearings on
transfer ownership of the Blue
Network, De Caux said: Labor
gets little time over the air and is
frequently denied the right to buy
time or to obtain free time, while
the airwaves are largely monopo-
lized by programs sold to employ
ing and business interests and
their representatives" "
Typical of these programs, he
explained, is "This Nation at War,

sored by the National Association

WLB Cuts
Newsprin+ Use

the War Production Board Sept
20. WPB chief Donald Nelson ac-
companied the announcement with
a warning that "a further, per-
haps far deeper" curtailment will
be inevitable next year,
Even with the new cut, con-
sumption of newsprint for the
fourth quarter period will exceed
production by $4,000 tons, or about
1870. In holding the cut down tc
so in accord with the wishes of
the newspaper industry, Nelson
said, reserve supplies were being
dipped into, thus incurring the
risk of more drastic cuts next

On Rent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-(FP)
Mayor Fiorella H. LaGuardia OF
New York City emerged from a
long conference with OPA Ad-
ministrator Prentiss Brown and
General Manager Chester Bowles
Sept. % and said he expected to
have an answer within a few
days" on whether OPA would
freeze rents in New York.
Asked what would happen il
OPA did not act in the New York
rent situation, he said the land
lords would continue to increase
rents" Although desirable that q
freeze be announced before Oct. l
moving date in New York, any
freeze announced later automati-
cally would be retroactive to Oct. l,
he said, under the law.
At the same time a delegation
from the Brooklyn Non-Partisan
Conference on Wartime Legislation
visited Acting Rent Director Ivan
Carson and expressed disappoint-
ment on leaving the OPA. The
chairman, Rebecca Yuttal, who
said the group represented 100 re-
ligious, political and consumer
groups, declared they were coming
away "empty-handed" and pre-
dicted a wave of rent strikes if
action were not forthcoming.
In three spot checks made in
Brooklyn, said Mrs. Yuttal, the
organization received 3,115 COM
plants from occupants of apart
ments ranging from $40 to $50 a
month. Increases scheduled for Oct.
/ were from 50 to $50 month.

CATION"
A terse but typical shipyard ex-
pletive was used by Willkie to dis
pose of the so-called strike menace.
In his opinion, Strikes, no matter
how small, have received more
than their share of publicity. Asked
how he stood on the general sales
tax which is being proposed by re-
dictionary spokesmen in congress,
Willkie said: 81 can see no need
for any such type of tax at pres
ent."
AS to his opinion on the second
front in Europe, Willkie smiled
and said, "Well, my stand on for
eign policy is matter of record.
I've stuck my chin out several
times. l think we are a bit laggard
in our help to Russia and do not
approve of the forces of reaction
which are operating in the State
Department. l think there is an
unwise attempt on the part of the
administration to capitalize on a
certain current of anti-Soviet opin-
ion."
