Shortage Cuts Mortality

Chicago (ILNS). = Almost 5000
lives were saved on the nation s
streets and highways in the first three
months of this year as compared with
the same period last year, the Ma
tional Safety Council reports.
The traffic death tool for the first
quarter of 1943 was $3.50. For the
same period last year it was 1850.
The reduction this year was 2,91O, or
81 percent.
A study of the figures reveals, how
ever, the council said, that the month
ly reductions brought about by war
time traffic restrictions are becoming
smaller, not only in relation to 1912,
but also to the more normal traffic
year of 1941.

FACTS ABOUT
FOREMEN ARE
GATHERED BY
GOVERNMENT

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-The
status of foremen in collective bar
gaining processes is of such general
interest that the Industrial Relations
Division of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, U. S. Department Of Labor,
has prepared a mimeographed bulle-
tin (Which you may get if you ask for
it, on the subject. 1t reports:
l. Separate organization by super
visory groups is found in maritime
and railroad industries and in postal
service, some independent, other af-
filiated with AFL or CIO, either as
autonomous internationals or as part
of international unions Recently in
dependent unions of foreman have
been set up in mass production indus
tries.
2. Foremen membership in unions
and inclusion of foremen under agree
ments covering production workers
operates in printing and building
trades, in metal trades operating on
craft basis, in many railroad trades,
and among teamsters, longshoremen
and others.
3. Exclusion of foremen and super
visors from membership in unions of
mass production workers is general
rule in steel, automobile, electrical
manufacturing, rubber and clothing,
except that some contracts include
working" foremen and gang leaders.
The pamphlet covers recent devel-
opments in U. S. as well as practice
among British trade unions.
Appendix of the bulletin gives con-
stitutional provisions of unions rela-
ting to foremen, grouped as follows:
(a) Nine unions which are com
posed solely of foremen and super
visorS.
(b) Twenty-nine unions which re-
quire, or permit, membership of fore
men in same unions as production
workers.
(c) Thirty-seven unions which ex-
clude foremen and general supervi-
sors, although admitting working
foremen and minor supervisors in
some instances.
The remaining 120 International
and National unions do not mention
foremen. Presumably they are ex-
cluded, although some locals may in
clude them.

FIRST BREAK IN
WAGE FREEZE MADE
CANNING INDUSTRY
FOOD PROFESSORS
ORDER MODIFIED
BY BYRNES
First Breach Made in April Execu-
tive Order as Economic Stabiliza-
ton Director Byrnes Restores to
War Labor Board Former Powers
Over Wages.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). Pro
cessing of food for the United States
armed forces is more important than
spanking John L. Lewis.
That is one of the more obvious rea-
sons why Economic Stabilizer James
F. Byrnes this week relaxed the wage
freeze insofar as it applied to Gamers
and other professors of seasonal and
perishable food and feed products.
Later he restored to the board prac-
tically all the powers taken away by
the "hold- -the-line" order of April 8.
Mr.. Byrnes "held the line" as long
as he could But he gave in just as
Seabrook Farms, Inc, professors of
Birdseye Foods, sent word to him that
unless he relaxed his stand they
would today begin paying whatever
wages were necessary to fill Army
and Navy orders for foods and were
ready to spend $250,000 carrying their
case to the public and to the U. S.
Supreme Court.
While the entire National War La
Dor Board was discussing with Byrnes
ways and means of keeping the
NWLB members from resigning in
body as a result of the April 8 order
removing the boards powers to adjust
wages, Byrnes practically restored to
the Board all of it's former powers in
respect to the canning industry.
This action suggests that the
boards powers will be restored for all
other industries in time, even in the
coal industry.
Of course the boards publicity
statement said that "the directive
does not represent departure from
the hold the-line' order of April g."
But that's "baloney," according to
AFL Butcher Workmen who negoti-
ated the contract with Seabrook
Farms which NWLB could not ap-
prove because it raised wages more
than the 1870 limit permitted under
the boards Little Steel Formula. 1t is
baloney, say union leaders, because
the process of basing rates on aver
ages of common labor in the area au-
tomatically eliminates inequities and
inequalities, and it might be possible
for former low-wage employer to
increase his rates 509o to meet that
average. In addition, the order per-
mits a differential up to &c an hour
to be paid food professors above the
rates paid common labor on farms in
the vicinity.
Of course the policy directive issued
by Mr.. Byrnes said it is ,,imed "to
correct substandards of living" but
actually it gave the board power un-
der the head of "sub-standards" to
correct inequities. Furthermore,
Brynes specifically restored the
phrase ''to aid in the effective prose-
cution of the war;" under which au-
thority the board can exercise consid-
erably flexible powers.
The job of determining final wage
rates in the canning industry is not
yet finished, and depends somewhat
upon determination of what are the
minimum going rates for common la
Dor in the particular labor market
area" but it is conceded that rates

LAUNCH PLASMA DRIVE

AFL, CIO and railway labor lead
ers in southeastern Pennsylvania have
inaugurated drive to obtain 100000
blood donations from union members
in their section of the state for use by
the American Red Cross in combat
areas where American soldiers are
stationed. One hundred and sixty
seven unions participated in labor's
antiblood boarding campaign.

PAPER CUPS IN
WAR AID ROLE

New York City LNS).-Strange
as it may seem, Britain makes quite a
to-do about the lowly paper cup, so
popular at American picnics and
water fountains.
Bertram de M. Cruger, chairman of
the London Committee of the British
War Relief Society, says the paper
cup has prevented epidemics and is
particularly popular among troops,
who often would have nothing from
which to drink, in its absence. The
chief source now is the United States.

must be fixed high enough to keep
labor working in the canning indus
try. Our fighters must be fed.
Furthermore, wages must not be
raised so high that higher food prices
will be necessary, but the professors
are not greatly worried about that.
Prices of foods have already gone up
high enough to cover the cost Of
higher wages in most food plants.

Time Out On Sundays Only
Memorial Day. 4th of july

washington, ID. &. (lLNS) Full
time regular schedules of work in es-
sential war industries over the May
30-31 and July As weekends are called
for by War Production Board Chair
man Donald M. Nelson in a statement
urging that wherever feasible the ira
ditional civic observances of Memorial
Day and Independence Day should be
held on Sunday.
"The capture of Bizerte and Tunis
shows that the weight of United Ma
tion's total war effort is bringing
magnificent results on the field of bat
tie. We must work all the harder to
take full advantage of the victories
that the fighting men of our country
and our Allies are winning" he said.
by having the usual civic celebra-
tions of May 80 and July A on Sun
day, we can keep production at higher
levels than if the observance of these
historic holidays are held on Mon
days." Mr.. Nelson declared.

approaches the initiation issue with his

gressmen and the groups they represent
seem committed to the policy Of I'VE don't

sumed that all responsibility for this
devil-may-care attitude belongs, to the

quests for wage and salary raises made

A Matter of Essentials

We are beginning to learn something
about essential and non-eSsential bust
resses and Jobs. "Non- deferrable" jobs are
listed and 1t Is surprising that there are
SO many. We look upon most Of our bus
mess establishments as important, even
If not necessary. With this new CLASH
fication by War Manpower Commissioner
Paul v. McNutt thousands of civilian
workers will be thus transferred to the
army.
For instance a curtain manufacturing
business Is not essential, nor costume
jewelry, artificial flower, or greeting card
business. When you begin to 60 over the
list, you are bit surprised at the num-
Der Of these businesses there are. BY the
same token those that work for these
manufacturers are not in qualified es-
sential business so are Immediately
classed in the non-deferrable class If
they are between the ages 1888.
Most of those who hold down paying
jobs think of them as fairly important in
the routine of daily life. They were i'm
portant once, but not today when the
army must be constantly enlarged, day
by day; this to 60 on indefinitely A bus
boy, a coSmetician, butler, night club
manager, all these are just few of those
who are classified among the non-eSsen-
tialS.
Mr.. McNutt's broad order affecting
many of our job holders gives us much
TO think about; brings us closer to the
realization that this war very definitely
affects us all, in that no one can con-
tinue his way of living as he or she once
did. ReadjuStments must be made by
all. Eventually heads of families will
not even be exempt from draft, for Mr..
McNutt expects that "by the end of this
year 10 out of every IA of the able
bodied men between Is and 38 will be in
the armed services"
