Committee for final action. Both
workers and employers shall be
notified of the time and place of
the review by the United States
Employment Service and the ap-
peal, if any, before the War Man
power Committee and have the
right to appear before and be
heard by the USES or the Com
mittee, or to be represented.
2. The following circumstances
may be considered illustrative of
acceptable reasons for changing
employment:
a. When the worker is compe-
tent to perform higher skilled work
than his current employer is able
or willing to provide.
b. When the worker is employed
for a substantial period at less
than full time. Full time employ
ment" at this time is understood
to be 40 hours per week or the
working hours and periods of time
as specified in existing Agree
ments.
c. When the distance between
the workers residence and the
place of employment is unreason-
ably great, considering restrictions
on the use of gasoline and tires
and the load on transportation
facilities.
d. When the worker has COM
polling reasons for wishing to
change.
e. When the worker is employed
at wages or under working con-
ditions substantially less favorable
than those prevailing in the COM
munity for the kind of work on
which he is employed.
3. The problem of providing en-
ployment for workers at their
highest skills is an individual mat
ter and must be so handled. The
issue is one of proven skill and
job classification rather than of
wage rates. All employers should
have suitable upgrading agree
ments, subscribed to by the unions
where bargaining agreements ex-
list.
SENIORITY
4. Where the employee is COM
petent to perform a higher skill
than his current employer is able
or willing to provide, or where the
employee is working at less than
full time for a substantial period
as defined in Section 2-b, the EN-
ployee may change his employ
ment and maintain his seniority
status with his former employer.
In cases of applicants who have
requested clearance for transfer
for these reasons, the original EN-
ployer shall be given at least five
working days to determine Il he
has the same or similar work for

In order that there might be no
misunderstanding of the Boards
opinion we print it here in full.
All Frigidaire employees, espe-
cially women and girls, are urged
to study this opinion carefully,
and to assist your union District
Committeeman and Stewards in
seeing that management abides
by it.
The considerable number Of
grievances filed on this matter
are now under discussion with
Frigidaire management. Your
union is attempting to secure a
prompt, and equitable settlement.
The cooperation and assistance of
every female operator is needed to
insure complete acceptance, by
management, Of the Directive Or
der. Therefore we urge you to
first read the opinion, second, sub
NIT to your Steward, or Commit
teemen information which may be
of assistance to the Union in its
efforts to win full compliance
with the Boards decision.
WAGE RATES FOR FEMALE
EMPLOYEES
The National War Labor Board
has accepted the general principle
that wages should be paid to fe-
male employees On the principle of
equal pay for equal work. 1t be
lieves that there should be no dis
elimination between employees
whose production is substantially
the same ON comparable jobs. This
is mot a new principle. 1t was
enunciated by the War Labor
Board set up in 1917 to deal with
industrial problems arising dur
ing the first World War. Our
country will depend in this war
more and more upon its women
to produce the materials with
which its men will fight. LIN call
ing upon American women to
play such a vital role on the in
dustrial front, the country has an
obligation to provide the utmost
that they will not be
subject to discriminatory treat
ment In their compensation. Care
fol attention must be given to the
effectuation of this prin-
The board has directed the par
ties to include in their new agree
ment q provision that wage rates
for women shall be the same as
for men where they do work of
comparable quantity and quality
In comparable occupations. The
wording Of this paragraph In the
Order indicates the i'm
propriety of using slight or incon-
changes in a job as a
reason for setting up a wage diff
'erential against women employ
ses. Wage-setting on such q basis
. not compatible with the princi-
Of equal pay for equal work.
The Board wishes to stress, how
, 1943-01-06

the employees and such employee
shall remain with his original en-
ployer during the five-day per-
iod. Disputes shall follow the ap-
peal procedure described in para
graph No. l. It is understood that
the employee shall not accumu-
late seniority with his former en-
ployer for employment at such
higher skill and for full time en-
ployment. employers should not
call back men except to provide
employment in accordance with
Section 2-b. It is understood that
in starting new work or returning
to full time production it may be
necessary to depart from full time
employment for a limited period.)
If the employee fails to return
within five working days after
such notice, he shall forfeit all
seniority rights with his original
employer. Conditions not covered
above are subject to local bargain
ng procedures.
S. Employers utilize the facilities
of the USES to supplement exist
ing facilities.
6. Advertising for skilled workers
will be eliminated unless the ad-
vertisement contains a clause that
only persons eligible for employ
ment under the War Manpower
Commission Employment Stabili-
cation Plan need apply.
z. Employers are not to adver-
tise, recruit or scout for workers
outside of the Detroit area with
out clearance with the USES or
the Cove eminent contracting
agency for which the plant is pro-
ducing war materials.
8. An aggressive program will be
adopted in cooperation with the
VINO, for the reduction of alb
senteeism, full utilization of train
ing programs, apprenticeship pro-
grams, upgrading and necessary
job dilution. Employers and la
Dor organizations will cooperate
in eliminating any contract pro-
visions which are in the way of
accomplishing these desired OBJ
jectives.
8. Employers are to seek max
imum utilization of local labor of
every kind.
10. This Plan becomes effective
Immediately and is not retroactive.
Detailed procedure experimenting
this Plan will be issued by the
District Director, War Manpower
Commission, after approval by the
War Manpower Committee.

DESPITE SENSATIONAL
HEADLINES, HERE'S WHAT
DETROIT PLAN MEANS
The Detroit area manpower sta
bilization plan, a voluntary agree
ment between government, labor
and management, was sensation
allied by the Detroit and other
newspapers who showed them
selves more interested in circu-
lation than in clarifying a vital
development in the wartime labor
situation.
Here are the true facts about
the plan:
lit "unfreezes" thousands of
workers, who, because of inter-
corporation, unofficial freezing
during the last three months,
have been unable to obtain jobs
at their highest skill. Workers are
'tunfrozen" by a transfer and a
speedy, local appeal procedure
which can be used where employ
ers try to block justifiable job
transfers.
2-It protects seniority of work
ers who want to transfer because
their original employer cannot
give them a defense job at their
highest skill AT FULL TIME
EMPLOYMENT.
Sit reduces immigration and
calls for full utilization of all
types of local labor without dis
elimination.
At minimizes the possibility of
drastic labor freeze legislation
which foes of labor have been ad-
vocating.
Recognizing that Unnecessary la
Dor turnover hinders war pro-
duction and that workers now en-
gagged in essential activities should
transfer to other essential activi-
ties only under certain conditions,
and recognizing too that normal
employment practices should pre-
vail, but that in certain cases
arising from wartime conditions
special arrangements m needed,
the following plan has been es-
tabIished.
Clearance for Employment
/. Employers will refuse to hire or
solicit workers from other es-
sential industries within the area
unless the applicant presents a
certificate of release from his for
mer employer or from the Re-
view Unit of the United States
Employment Service. Workers
whose requests for the certificate
are refused by their employer
may appeal to the Review Unit.
Workers or employers may appeal
any decision of the Review Unit
to the District War Manpower

cado." At the present time many
persons outside of Mexico call this
fruit the avocado pear"
The avocado has only one seed.
A blackish juice can be pressed
from the seed, and this Juice has
been used for marking linen.
Avocados differ a great deal in
size. Some weigh only 3 or 4
ounces, but others reach a weight
OF 2 or 3 pounds.
II you expect an avocado to taste
like pear, you will be disappointed.
There is hardly any sweetness in it.
The yelloW-green pulp has a nut
like" flavor.
Our first record of the avocado
pear goes back more than four
centuries. In 1919 Spaniard wrote
a book in which he said that plenty
OF the fruit grew in Colombia
The avocado tree is native OF
the New World. 1t grows in Mexico.
and the northern part of South
America.
So far as is known. the first
AVOCADO trees 10 reach the United
States were imported by a judge
named Perrine. That was 10 years
ago. Judge Perrine obtained the
trees from Mexico and planted
them around his Florida home.
Since that time the trees have
been grown with success in Florida
and California. One tree NAV
produce from 1000 to 5000 fruits
in a season.
The first time I ate an avocado
(served as part of a salad l liked
it only a little. After trying it
several times more, I found the
taste very pleasing. The avocado
has high food value, with more
protein than any other fresh fruit.

This is not always the case, how

The Aztec name was "ahuacatl."

West opened the club jack and
East won with the ace. At this
point probably 80 Easts in every
hundred would return the diamond
queen, hoping to find West with
the ace and thereby collect two dia-
mond tricks. They would be sue
cessful In this extremely limited
objective. but unsuccessful in the
larger objective of defeating the
contract. For. after the diamond
tricks were collected, declarer would
have to be given the lead and his
normal natural trump flnesse would
| wind up the matter.
The particular player who sat
East in this deal was not satisfied
with the prospect of three tricks
tWo diamonds and club. He
also hoped that West had the dia-
mond ace, but he set out to capital
ize that hope in different fashion.
At the second trick he unhesi-
family returned a heart! Now put
yourself in the declarer's position
What would you think if the first
two tricks went as above noted?
just what this declarer thought
that East's heart was a singleton ::
that he hoped West could win an
early trump lead and return a heart
for ruff.
South resolved to blast any such
hope. He banged down the ace and
a low trump, figuring quite cor
rectly that if West had the trump
king or East had the diamond ace
this would be the safety play. To
his disgust, however, the hoped-for
condition was exactly reversed. East
took the second trump lead. shifted
to the diamond queen, and it was
