1t. Gerards Decorated;
Later Reported Missing

An 9th AAF Bomber Station,
Eng.-Second Lieut.. Henry J. Ger
ards, q, copilot on an 9th AAF
Flying Fortress has been awarded
an Oak Leaf cluster to the Air
Medal. The decoration was con-
ferred for "meritorious achieve
ment while participating in heavy
bombardment missions over enemy
occupied Continental Europe"
Lieut.. Gerards is the son Of
Mrs. Joseph Gerards, 312 Third
Ave. East, Kennewick. Before en-
tering the service he was employed
as a jeweler by George Donnaly,
Pendleton, Ore.
The above information was re-
ceived by the local paper yes
terday from the public relations
department in England. It fol-
lows shortly a message from the
War Department to his parents
that the lieutenant had been re-
ported missing in action on May
Is, while on a mission over Ger
many. The family has no informa-
ton as to whether he was captured
by the Germans or not, and are
hoping to hear that he landed
safely.

Calls Wage Freeze
 Utter Absurdity"

Pres. A. F. Whitney of Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen is not impressed with the argument offered by Dr. William M Leiserson, former chairman of the National Mediation Board, that "the labor situation in this country has drifted to the danger point"
 Commenting on an article by Leiserson entitled Labor Faces A Crisis" which appeared in "The American Magazine Whitney said : "Dr. Leiserson suggests the possibil- ity of more legislation. But what is needed is not another legal straight jacket, but simple, straightforward act on the part of public and employer members of the National War Labor Board-namely, recognition of the utter absurdity of c1inging to the Little Steel formula in the face of higher living costs Unfortunate ly, Dr. Leiserson avoids a clearcut statement of his own position on that issue. Like the majority members of the WLB, he is obviously trying to sit that one out"

 At meeting called by the Ma. tional Committee to Defeat the Unequal Rights Amendment. Chairman Dorothy McAllister, for mer ~women's director of the Dem ocratic National Committee, said, ''The unequal rights amendment attacks the whole foundation and standards of American family life."
 Represented in the g national groups are the national AFL, CIO, and their auxiliaries and affiliated unions, National Consumers League, League of Women Voters and other consumer and civic bodies. Treasurer of the committee is Miss Mary An derson, former head of the Labor De- partmept's women's bureau.
 Mrs. McAIIister said the un- equal rights amendment, while nullifying labor gains made by women, would not enable states to do anything they can't do now.

Won't Let Avery
 Get Away With It

Tough old Sewen Avery chairman of the board O1 Montgomery Ward & Co.,. wants to find out whether Inc can Haunt his disregard fol the law and his personal hatred of unions in the face of a nation at war.
 Avery got his first warning growls last week when the Ma tional War Labor Board in swift and uncompromising fashion de manded that Ward comply fully with all provisions of the WLB's directives.
 MEET CHALLENGE
 WLB Chairman William H. Davis and other members of the board left no doubt in anybody s mind that it will promptly recom- mend seizure of the z Ward stores and warehouses when the deadline is reached. There was no feeling that Avery would change his posi- tion of again demanding federal seizure of his properties.
 The unions involved in the Ward cases, two AFL affiliates and two of the CIO internationals, ap- peared during the hearings and reported to the WLB that in no instance has Ward complied with any provision of the directives it issued.
 With the Ward management delib- erately absenting itself from the hear ing after sending telegram calling the WLB powerless to enforce its orders and reiterating its position against granting maintenance of mem bership clauses, the full national WLB cracked down. It announced there would be no further delays after the headline passed if Ward failed to comply.
 Thus Avery's newest test of power with the U. s. government came to a head. This series started Dec. 9 when Ward workers in four Detroit area stores walked out in an effort to force compliance with Acc minimum wage order. The Detroit workers are represented by the United Retail Wholesale & Dept. Store Employees.
 At the hearing Dec. Is a total of six more War cases of nOn- compliance were heard. These were the Denver and Jamaica. N. Y. stores, where the workers are also represented by the URW & DSE, the San Rafael, Calf. store, in which the Retail Clerks Ma tionaI Protective Association, AFL, is the union involved; the St. Paul, Minn. warehouse and mail order store, where the workers have chosen the International Long, shoren. ems and Warehousemen's Union (CIO), and the Portland, Ore. store, with the International
The union times., 1944-12-23

Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFL) as the bargaining agent, and Chi cago, Ill.,, URW & DSE.
 The only strike thus far in the Ward picture is at Detroit, but Pres. Samuel Wolchok of the URW & DSE warned the WLB repeatedly that he was prepared to bring about an economic shutdown of the com pany" if the union was not given re- lief from Avery's continual and delib- crate sabotage of its directives.
 Atty, Douglas Hall of the Inter- national Longshoremen's & Ware hOusemen's union set off clash at the hearing when he told the board that the workers in the St.. Paul store and warehouse were in- sisting on compliance by Ward to every directive, but there is no strike at St. Paul.''
 ''There will be no strike, either" :" Hall declared. ssWe will observe our no-strike pledge regardless of provocation by the company. We are looking to this Board and the government to enforce the WLB orders."
 WLB Industry Member Walter T.. Margetts asked if there was any di- vision of opinion, between the unions. WLB Labor Member Robert Watt of the AFL, replied that "one group here (ILWU-CIO) has said that no matter what happens there will be no strike" Margetts commented that "I think they ought to be com mended."
 That brought Pres. WOlchok to his feet saying: ''I'm sorry some people haven't the backbone we have. They change their opinions every day. They want compliance, too, SO in other words, they'd like to ride on somebody else's back" :" This was an obvious slap at the ILWU for refusing to join the strike movement, and WOlchok continued that 1'We want compli- ance. If you (WLB) let Mont gomery Ward get away with it, I'm full.'
 After a brief executive session, the WLB reported it had adopted two resolutions. The first reafirmed its directives to Montgomery Ward in the six cases and the second ordered compliance. The orders apply to all of the cases, regardless of whether or not the workers were on strike.

Higgins Cancels His Contracts With AFL

Pres. Andrew J. Higgins of Hig- gins Industries has cancelled all union contracts, effective Jan. 1, on grounds that local AFL unions had created jurisdictional difficulties.
 The Metal Trades and Building Trades Council of New Orleans said they considered the contracts, due to expire in September, 1945, binding as written. They have filed complaints with the regional NLRB, charging intimidation and coercion. They ac- cused Higgins of discharging seven workers for union activity and foster ing company union
 The New Orleans shipbuilder has been known in labor circles as one of the most liberal businessmen in the country. He organized a Business men for Roosevelt Committee the election campaign and appeared with AFL and CIO leaders at many political rallies.

 Invites Disaster

In speech at Chicago this week Vice-President Wallace sounded 8 warning that failure to deal sensib1y with postwar problems would prove catastrophe.
 Wage cutting and salary slashing can reduce our national income by $30,000,000,000 annually, and he ad- ded:
 Reducing consumption to that ex tent would cause such unemployment as to make the annual interest charge on the national debt almost impos- sible to pay.
 "On the other hand, enlightened plans for the employment of 60000,00( people can produce a situation where the annual charge on the nationa debt can be ,carried almost as easily as in the decade of the '20's."
