More Than One Way To Get An Increase In Pay!
Conn. Labor Economist Shows What To Do While Fighting ''Little Steel"
 Formula
By Leonard Bright Labor SerUice Associates

Pending revision of the unjust Little Steel formula which does not allow increases in wage rates to match the rise in living costs, it is often possible to obtain War Labor Board approval for wage adjustments on the basis o1 other WLB rules. When, however, 8 study of a particular situation com pels the conviction that Wage Stabi- lization regulations are barrier, Il happens that certain benefits for workers may be gained without the necessity of seeking WLB approval These relate to insurance and pen sionS.
 Labor negotiators may find 1t worth while to include in their list of de mands proposals for retirement an nuities, life insurance and group acci- dent, health and disqualification pro- grams. Admittedly the monthly old age pension payments provided by ex- isting Social Security legislation are too low. A plan that would supple ment these payments out of pension trust fund or through retirement an IlulIlCS, WlIOSC COSl Was lllCl Uy lIlS employer, certainly would be advan- tageous to the workers involved.
 Interestingly enough, the employer does not need government sanction to pay premiums on ordinary Or z0hole life insurance for his employees pro- viding the premiums do not exceed five per cent of the employees an nual salary. A little figuring will show that the face of such policies would be substantial, while the cash surren- der values would be of considerable worth after number of years.
 Labor representatives might pre- vail upon employers who enjoy good profits to stand the cost of sound pen sion and life insurance plans and also accident, health and disqualification insurance, the cost of which makes quite dent in the average workers pay envelope.
 Employees, of course, prefer inn mediate wage increases, but when the law does not allow them to be made, the indirect increased compensation possible through the plans mentioned when clearly undestood, should cer- tainly appeal to the intelligent union worker.

WLB Orders Not Affected
 By Petition For Review

Amending its rules of procedure, the National War Labor Board has ruled that orders of regional boards or industry commissions continuing the terms of prior expired or termi- mated contracts may not be suspended by filing a petition for review. The WLB held that Regional board orders extending contracts are to remain in effect, even though a petition for re- view is filed, unless the WLB in Washington directs otherwise.

In School, Home,
officer Asserts

The need for home and school
training Of the Nations youth to
avoid physical and mental deficien-
cies which have been found in boys
and young men untitled for military
service was stressed by Col. Harold
Kent, liaison officer between the War
Department and the United States
Office of Education, in talk yes
terday before members Of the
Twentieth Century Club.
Speaking at luncheon meeting
Of the civics-education section, the
speaker quoted statistics to show
the gravity Of the situation which
has caused thousands OF young men
to be rejected for service due to
failure to pass military require
ments.
Bad nerves. motor diseases, eye,
ear and nose complaints. weak
hearts, bad teeth and other physical
defects have caused approximately
26 per cent of 18-year-old boys to
be rejected by the Army, the colonel
declared.
Mental equipment for service has
also been found lacking, the speaker
added, the War Department literary
standard showing that the average
enlisted man has only a fourth
grade education.
Col. Kent suggested that future
educational programs include physi-
cal training commencing at kinder
garten age, with annual physical
check-ups throughout the entire
period of education.

thorough groundwork in mathe-
matics, history and English and an
educational opportunity for all
children.
