ences looking to an agreement for the
end of jurisdictiOnal raiding have been
agreed on by Presidents William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
and Philip Murray of the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations.

charged that prices had run away
from controls and insisted that labor
alone had lived up to the promises
which We're to keep the nations econ
Omy on an even keel.
Green and Murray reiterated pledges
to fight imitation but said that wages
must keep pace with prices.
I'VE ask that wages be kept abreast
of actual living COSTS" President Green
said. I'VE urge that the National War
Labor Board revise its wage control
formulas to permit sufficient feXibility
so that just decisions may be rendered
in accordance with the facts and the
evidence in each case presented to it,.

President Duffy Stresses
Need Of Cooperation
From Employers

Trenton. n J-Local Union A. had
q rare treat at our last meeting The
entire Executive Board with the ey-
ception of Second Vice President Hull
were present We do not know how
long ii has been since we have had
this privilege, but know il has been too
long. We would suggest that if pos
Sible that they meet in the East at least
once year and give our members 4
chance to really get acquainted. Joint
meetings might also be arranged at the
time OF their visit 10 give all members
an opportunity to meet them.
We realize there are many things
which might come up at the last
minute but official announcement of
planned visit as far ahead as possible
might also help. President Davies
introduced each Board member who
responded equitably.
President Duffy regretted his un-
available absence at our Honor Roll
dedication of March 25th and spoke
as we feel he would liked to have done
on that occasion. He was fully in ac-
cord with the government in their war
efforts which we should all support
whole heartedly, and he appreciated
the spirit of our members in this af-
fair which from reports he had re-
ceived was OF the highest commenda-
ton.
At our request he later went into
detail with regard to the situation at
the Standard and it seems to us that
if all manufacturers would cooperate
with their employees instead of fight
ing against them, much could be ap-
proved for the good Of all.
AS an organization we are just as
willing to go along with the manag ge-
ment as we are with individuals, and
we believe that on the whole, the past
record Of the National Brotherhood Of
Operative PotterS goes to prove that.
Our product requires skill, thought
and patience as well as hard work and
a certain amount of injurious dust to
he combatted, all of which should be
taken into consideration when wages
and conditions of work are up for con-
sideration.
4 national agreement would do away
with all unfair competition and we
hope that some day in the near future
all firms and the government will see
the fairness of that condition.
Most companies realize that now,
but are not willing to cooperate to
help TO bring it about and begrudge
a certain amount of expense, just like
a few of our members hate to pay

will do its part to prevent imitation
by helping TO educate the workers as
to the meaning of price control, rent
control and ratiOning.
The Office of Price Administration
has embarked on a program of educa-
ton to get widespread consumer sup.
port. Its field of operation is prin.
cipally the union labor groups who
represent more than 10.OOO.OOO fam
lilies. 1t is imparitive that labor knows
the facts, in order that it can realize
the value in doing its part to prevent
imitation and have equal distribution
of staple foods.
1t is the intention of the OPA 70
set up Labor Advisory Committees to
assist the OPA district managers to
keep a closer check on the effect of
the control. The selection of these com
mittees has already started and the
plan should be in full swing before the
end of April.
The items in the program of the
Labor Advisory Committee are: labor
members of the Local Boards: local
board volunteers local union con-
sumner committees: labor-management
plant transportation committees; adj
vice and complaints; enforcement of
OPA regulations. Probably the most
important of these committees TO labor
is, advice and complaints" because
of the fact that specific problems arise
in connection with both rationing and
price control. Trade unions may offer
valuable advice on this. This is par
ticularly true when the so called black
markets get beyond the control of the
enforcement agencies in the different
districts.
1t is true the cost of living in New
Jersey has risen 35.7 per cent in the
last six months. Whether labor knows

Oklahoma City ILNSl.-War de-
mands on the nations womanpowei
call for effective use of women in :
main channels. Miss Mary Anderson
director of the WOmen's Bureau, L. s.
Department of Labor, declared in an
address at the labor-management COLI
ference here, sponsored by the Uniyer-
sity of Oklahoma.
Tying in her discussion with the con
ference theme, production and utiliZa-
ton of resources to win the war she
outlined the channels for women'S war
efforts as follows:
o., OccupatiOnal fields concerne !
with the business of conducting the
war, and including employment with
the war Industries. with the armed
forces. and war-involved Government
agencies: (2) employment fields meet
ing both war and civilian needs such
as transportation, communication. and
farm work: CD essential civilian in
dustries and services; (4) necessary
work in the home; (5) volunteer serv-
ices in the community.
Womanpower was the answer given
by Miss Anderson to the question of
where to recruit additional labor to
guarantee by the end of l943 the essen
tial fighting forces of II million men
and a work force of 80 million persons
3 million more than at present. At
least 2 million more women must be
added. according to estimate, to the
II million women now employed.
The aircraft industry was cited by
Miss Anderson as unmatched by any
other in the sheer drama and amaZ-
ing progress as TO expanded use OF
women as war production workers,
from 1000 women just a week before
Pearl Harbor to $4,000 women 50

Rev. Richard Evans of Miami,
Fla, Protestant minister told the
Fannick Post, Jewish War Veterans,
at it's mass meeting last night at

manner in which another war can
be prevented is by establishing
throughout the world American
democratic ideals after Hitler Ideals
of intolerance and hatred have been
completely smashed.
Parents and relatives were the re-
cipientS of service certificates as a
symbolic appreciation of the 275
Jewish boys from Waterbury now in
the armed forces.

j. national commander of the j. W..
", and holder Of the Congressional
Medal of Honor and decorations
from nine Allied nations in the last

in the present chaos. This organiza-
ton has already contributed 10 am
balances and will soon donate 10
more. 1t is also organizing re-
Mobilization program for veterans
Of the present war, he added,
through which veterans will be add
ed to obtain unemployment or be
trained in new occupations. He
pointed out that all J. w. V. COM
manders are keeping close contact
with the U. S. Employment Service
branch office and with veterans
hospitals to aid in the war effort.
What the present generation ad-
complishes will decide for all time

WAR LABOR BOARD
APPROVES BONUS
Details of New Wage Adj
iustment SChdule to Be
Announced Later

The War Labor Board has APP
proved of the bonus sought to com
pensate the employees of the Amerl-
can Brass Company, in this city,
Ansonia and Torrington, for the loss
of double time pay ruled out by the
Presidents executive order No. 924O,
it was revealed today by William
Moriarty, president of the local
CLIO. Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union.
Mr.. Moriarty said that details
wouldn't be forthcoming until John
]. Driscoll, executive secretary OF the
CLIO. State Council, has an appor-
tunity to discuss the matter with
the unions legal representatives,
however, he was optimistic that
everything was happily ironed out
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
A couple of weeks ago these en-
ployes secured sick passes to protest
DELAYS on their overtime pay appeal
and week ago, company officials
said the casting shop did not oper-
ate. The first Ansonia incident was
accompanied by partial absenteeism
in the Waterbury branch. Driscoll
said the move was not sanctioned
by the union and last week the
CLIO. distributed posters in the
plants appealing to workers to re-
main on their jobs until a decision
is handed down. The company
agrees that any adjustment ordered
will be automatically made retro
active to March IT.
1t was also pointed out that pro-
duction vital to the war progress
was involved in Sunday operations
of factories in the three cities.
