Wages

Continued from Page One)
Lewis consistently refused to take
his wage controversy with the coal
operators to the board, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Ickes and the
board insisted just as strongly that
they are going 10 settle 1t for him.
But uniquely, the board was vir-
tually powerless to adjudicate the
coal dispute, or any other wage
controversy for that matter, be-
cause OF President Rooseyelts
"hold-the-line' anti-inflation order
Of April s.
Prevents Increases
Board members informed both
Byrnes and the President that the
order was so stringent that it pre-.
vented any wage increases at all,
even to adjust inequities or sub
standard pay conditions. It also
made the boards Little Steel
formula imperative and work OF the
board came 10 a complete stand
still in hundreds OF cases.
On April q, the board, admitting
II was without power, voted to ask
ByrneS-for an Interpretation of the
hold.the.line order. At that time,
industry members OF the WLB re.
portedly dissented. BY May 6, the
situation was regarded so critical
that the full WTLB, with industry
members asserting this time, went
to Byrnes with an appeal TO allow
them to establish going rate OF
prevailing wages to allow pay ad.
justments to meet inequities.
Under this plan, wages 10 cases
OF inequalities would be adjusted
upward until they reach the pre-
vailing rates OF pay in an industrial
area. Board members denied that
It. meant scrapping OF the Little
Steel formula, which now holds
wage increases to Is per cent above
Jan. 1871 levels.

sible to defeat the enemy by
signing agreements, having con-
ferences and making vigorous
statements and speeches.
1t is true that in a hetero-
geneous combination of powers
such as comprise the United
Nations, it was essential that
some sort of general outline of
the political aims should have
been drafted to avoid the sad
spectacle of each member ma
Jion pulling its own way But
a superficial settlement of the
political problems does not bring
final victory. 1t has to be OBJ
tanned by complete correlation
of the military forces of all
members of the United Nations.
War OvershadOws Peace.
The five agreements signed at
Moscow were not intended to
bring forth a solution OF all the
complicated problems facing the
nations fighting the Axis. In
fact, Russia has not even at
tempted to tackle them. But a
permanent organization is to be
set up with headquarters in Lon
don, with representatives of the
United States, Britain and Rus
Sia sitting as supreme court and
passing judgment on all matters
brought before them.
There is no question there Will
be many subjects which might
beWilder at least the American
members of that august court.
But for the time being, all these
matters must be left alone since
the task of winning the war as
quickly as possible overshadoWs
all others.
The military situation has not
changed materially in the last
four weeks.
The Russians continue to ad-
vance rapidly and are reconquer-
ing large slices of territory the
Nazis had occupied at ire
mendous cost since l94l.
There has been no pulveriza-
ton of the Nazi forces. They

tary action and that the opening
OF a second front may come
sooner than expected. Regard
less of any future military de-
yelopments, The present declara-
ton has shortened the war
The military outlook for the
Germans is hopeless in any case.
The German military command,
locking at the situation with the
cold gaze of the military scientist,
can only calculate how long sur
render can be postponed. They
may estimate that they can re-
SlSt SIX months. or year, or
l8 months longer. but there can
be no doubt in their minds about
the final outcome. or the mount
ing costs, in dead, materiel. in
duStries, communications. cities,
and the reTolutionizing OF the
German population. Whatever
