WLB Boosts Of Difficulties
Encountered To Get Boosts

Washington (FP).-Although Ameri
can workers are constantly aware oi
II, the National War Labor Board re
ported 10 the L. :. that il is extremely
hard 10 get II wage increase above the
Little Steel formula even on the plea
that boosts are needed to meet "criti-
cal need of war production"
The WLB's 18th monthly report
boasted that during May the board
refused To order an increase for l30,-
600 workers in the Pacific Northwest
lumber industry despite certilication
by the WPB and the WMC that the
cases involved critical needs of war
production"
In explaining this To the senate, the
WlB said ii reached its decision by
considering the effects of the increase
on general wage stabilization and also
the entire national stabilization pro-
gram. 1t also believed, the report said,
that more money would not ''be etfec-
tive in recruiting workers for the
skilled Jobs where the manpower short

Several suggestions as to how to
eliminate absenteeism following pay
days finds many of the opinion that if
the firm would pay every other Satur-
day at noon, these fellows would have
the weekend to celebrate and would
be in shape for Monday morning.
Local 103 would like to hear from
other O. C.'s throughout the trade just
how the payroll plan deduction for
the purchase of war bonds is carried
out in their respective plants. Here in
Erwin there seems to be a limit as to
the number of bonds one may pur~
chase. There are many who WOULD
purchase a bond per pay, provided the
deduction would be made each pay.
Under the present set-up, all deduc-
tiOns are made on the second pay of
the month.
The Erwin ball club still continues
to occupy the cellar position. Rumors
are making the rounds that the fran

Columbus. Ohio-"There is no sub
stitute for Il job" Michael j. Lyden,
president of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, told the war conference OF
the American Legion, Department OF
Ohio, at Memorial Hall, here August
21.
He told the Legionnaires that the
Federation of Labor was deeply con
celned with rehabilitation plans, and
said that labor intended to cooperate
with their organization in all endeavors
for the benefit of veterans.
Labor wants free enterprise Ly-
den told the LegiOnnaireS," but labor
insists that our productive system be
committed to the progressive raising
of the national income and the main
tenance of full employment.
Such a system is necessarily op-
posed To all monopolistic tendencies to-
ward restriction. We want free enter
prise. but we also want an economy
which will provide ample support OF
health, educational, recreational and
similar public services 50 essential to
the welfare of the working people in
our industrial society
FINALLY, we want a program OF
economic enterprise which will not be
repressive, but will support the free
exercise of civil and political liberties. y

paYchecks Higher
AFL Survey Shows

Washington (FP). ~ Wages of or

ganized white collar workers vary as
much as $50 week, the AFL pointed
out August Is, in its Monthly Survey.
The Surveys findings published in
graphic form, reached conclusions
similar to those of the senate Subcom-
tion, that "unionized paychecks are
higher"
Pay i'm the well organized industries
such as shipbuilding and airpane en-
gines goes as high as $63 week, while
file clerks, despite increased living
costs still take home as little as $2l
StenogIaphers are making $50 and
typistS, S2S Il week in many cases. In
the construction industry, which Is
highly organized, workers average $50
Il week.
Quoting the senate subcommittees
statement, the survey showed that
some 20 million white collar workers
have not enjoyed rises in income com
mensurate With the most conservative
estimate of the cost-of-living increase.
We found that before the war u large
proportion of these people had sub

those borne by other groups

Westbrook Pegler
Loses Job With
Scripps-Howdrd
OSFL Secretary SdYs Pub
lishers Action Result OF
Public Opinion

Columbus, Oho.-A victory for de
cency and honesty in presentation of
editorial opinion was seen last week
as the Scripps-Howard newspaper an
nounced severance of their contract
with labor-baiting columnist West
brook Pegler.
Phil Hannah, secretary-treasu surer of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor.
hailed the publishers action not so
much as triumph for organized labor
as for the forces of outraged public
opinion.
The action of the Scripps- Howard
papers, in discontinuing Pegler doesn't
mean that their editorial slant has
suddenly become pro-labor" he said.
1T would be naive to believe that 1t
means simply that public clamor
against Pegler's unfair tactics has been
so great as to force the papers to dis
pense with the service at the pain of
losing more circulation
"The mouthings of Mr. Pegler have
become obnoxious to fair-minded citi-
ZenS. Instead of attempting to swing
public opinion against individuals, he
sought to direct it against the entire
trade union movement
"He spoke only to discredit labor
and had not one good word to say for
our unions and union members who are
vital assets to our democracy"
