 Of GEL. Set For Elm City
Conn. Federation To Meet Sept. 7-9, If Facilities
 Are Available

The l943 Convention of the Conn. Federation of Labor will be held at the Hotel Carde in New Haven Sept. 7, 8, and 9, provided accommodations are available, and the locals will sent. delegates, John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer of the GEL. told The Union Times today.
 Plans for the annual meeting, which will be one day less in duration and without banquet, were tentatively agreed upon at the executive board of the Federation last week. The Garde was the only hotel in the state that felt that it could handle the con- vention, but the influx of sailors for training at Yale may leave no accommodations available, state d Egan.
 The executive board of the Fed eration was told by the management of the hotel that it does not think that the government will step in and take over the hotel to house the Naval students.

Substandard Pay Is WING Issue In NH.

Labor Board members of the Ad- visory Committee of the New Haven War ManpOwer Commission, who signed the Employment Sta bilization Plan that went into effect this week, have appealed to the W.M.C. for ruling which may well set a national precedent on the clause which bars substandard wages as a reason for leaving a job.
 The four workers representatives under the leadership of Samuel F.. Curry, business agent of Div. 28l !, New Haven Trolleymen, are seek ing to have the following words stricken from the program:
 "No statement of availability (for accepting another job) shall be issued solely on the ground that an indi- viduaps wage or salary rate is sub stantially less than that prevailing in the locality for the same or sub stantially similar work"
 Curry has written to Frank Fen ton, an A.F.L. member of the National W.M.C. advisory committee, asking aid and advice in the matter.
 The clause was included in the New Haven plan in keeping with W.M.C. orders that it be written into every area plan, Mrs. Alice C. Marshall, acting director of the area, told The Union Times.
 In order to put it into immediate operation the labor members of the advisory committee signed the plan, with the understanding that they were doing so under protest, and that if the national W.M.C. rules that the clause does not have to be included, it will be dropped.

 This is just so much bunk, accord ing to the complaint filed against the manufacturer, which alleged the pills to be nothing more than an irritant laxative without value for treatment of any condition of the liver.

Labor Board Makes Public Its Policies
Guiding Principles Permits Adjustment Of Rates In
 Three Occupations {.

Substandard wages and those in which maladjustments still exist under the Little Steel'' formula may be adjusted with full approval of the New Eng land War Labor Board, Chair man Saul Wallen told The Union Times this week in ex- plaining the Boards current wage adjustment policy.
 Wallen emphasized that un- der the Presidents ''hOld the line'' order, wage increases in cases of promotions, recIassi- ficatiOns, merit increases, or the like, may be approved by the Board if production costs or ceiling prices are not af- fected.
 Adjustments made in connection with maladjustments, substandards or adoption of longer work week, he said, are subject to approval of the Economic StabilizatiOn Director if they involve increase in costs or prices.
 Subject to cost and price pro- visions, Wallen announced the fol- lowing types of cases may be dealt with by the Regional Board:
 CD Intra-plant adjustments which are necessary to do equity and to promote production.
 CD Applications by employers not under the Fair Labor Stand ards Act to pay time and one-haIf for hours over forty.
 (S) Adjustments incident to the improvement of working con- ditions which do not involve in. creasing basic wage rates and which do not exceed the sound prevailing practice in the indus try or area.
 Chairman Wallen said that vari- Ous types of incentive plans are now being considered by the Re gional Board, each being judged on its own merits in relation to the current anti-inhatlOn wage policy. He declared that the principle must be observed that the working out of such plans is matter particularly suited to collective bargaining and that where collective bargaining agency exists all rules designed to preserve collective bargaining should be applied to such cases.
 SUBSTANDARD POLICY
 The New England Board, de- clared Wallen, has made a thorough study of the subject of substandard wages. It has decided that this question cannot be separated from the matter of prevailing rates in a particular area or industry, and will take these factors into consideration in substandard cases,
 In voluntary wage adjustment cases tlled on the grounds that present rates are substandard, a division of the Board holds hearings at which imme- d1ate parties to the case as we'll as labor and the employer organizations may offer testimony as to what mini
 
 mum rates they believe will eliminate the substandard condition in each par ticular case. The division then makes recommendation to the full Board for its decision.
 Under this procedure the Re giOnal Board has already issued de- cisiOns in at least two cases invOIv- ing adjustment of substandard wages. The VILE. permitted the PlywOOd Corp of Boston to a6- just rates from AS cents or less to 50 cents, and to increase wages be- tween AS and 50 cents by five cents an hour.
 In the cases of Morgan Laundry Service, and the Morgan Linen Ser vice, both of Boston, the Board set a minimum standard of 45 cents

 BETWEEN INCOME tax pay ments, gas rationing, the complaints of the little woman about the cost of food, and preparing for that new payroll deduction, life seems tough at times.
