Wilmingtonians Lose 40
Ration Books Each Week

An average of 40 ration books
are being lost weekly by Whining.
tonians, despite repeated pleas for
careful handling by officials of the
New Hanover War Price and Ra-
tioning board.
1t is not an easy task to have
these books replaced. In most
cases it requires a delay of from
10 to 60 days before a new book
is issued by the rationing board,
depending upon whether the book
is lost Or stolen.
Applicants for requirements OF
stolen books are generally given
more consideration, but still there
is delay of at least 10 days.
Those who carelessly lose books
are required to wait go days for
new rations.
The general procedure for OBJ
tanning a replacement is to re-
port to the rationing board, which
advocates public advertising of thu
loss, and completion of notarized
replacement form. The delay fol
lows. In one week, 81 lost ration
books were advertised in the Star
News.
The greatest number of losses
occur with the food and supple
mental gasoline books, rationing
officials said. Losers generally
claim they left food books in gro
Gerry stores, and that gasoline
books were stolen from automo-
biles. Rationing officials have re-
peatedly asked motorists not to
leave ration books in cars, not
even in glove compartments. Gro
cerymen are asked to return lost
ration books to the rationing
board, which notifies the loser.

Lewis Receives
Dual Warning
v. S. TO Stond Pot
on Woee Issues
BY JOSEPH A. LOTUS

WASHINGTON, March rs -
Up President John l.. Lewis
of the United Mine Workers had
dual notice from the govern
ment today that it contemplates
no retreat on the wage stabiliza-
ton front.
While the War Labor Board
was announcing its rejection OF
a labor petition TO lift the Is per
cent cost of living allowance,
President Roosevelt backed up
the board with messages to Lew
Is and the coal operators that
their dispute must be settled
like any other dispute"
The Presidents statement put
a damper on speculation that
the government might yield to
Lewis at least to the extent of
appointing a special agency to
hear his case. Lewis has been
lambasting WLB Chairman Will
liam H. Davis and has implied
he would not submit the min
ers' demands to fhat agency on
the ground Davis prejudiced the
case.
Mr.. Roosevelt requested con
tinued production Of coal after
March 81, when the present con-
tract expires, with the under
standing that if the new agree
ment includes any wage adjust
ments they would be applied re-
troactively from April /. He

wage adjustments are made they
must, of course. De made in &C

der No. $780,"
The Act of October 2 direct
ed the President to issue an ex-
ecutive order to stabilize wages
and living costs as Of September
Is 80 far as practicable" This
policy was set forth in Execu-
tive Order No. $3.50 early in
October.
Mr.. Roosevelt'5 notice of no
special treatment for the soft
coal wage case was given in this
language:
THE dispute between the
United Mine Workers and the
bituminous operators must be
settled like any other labor dis
pute under the National No
Strike Agreement of December
rs, 1941, by the peaceful means
