WLB ACTION ON WAGE
FREEZE DEPENDS ON
THE EFFECT ON PRICES

Washington, D. C.-The National
Labor Board began final consideration
of labor's demands for relaxation of
the wage-freeze with disclosure by
Chairman William H. Davis that it's
findings will depend largely upon the
effect of wage adjustments on prices.
While the board cannot decide the
issue on it's own authority, it can and
will make recommendation to the
President who has the power to re-
wise the "Little Steel" formula.
The nature of the boards recon-
mendations rests with it's public mem
bers, since the labor representatives
and industry representatives are
sharply divided on the wage issue.
An indication as to the attitude of
the public members was given by Mr..
Davis at press conference when he
said:
"We are not gods or curmudgeons.
The problem is not to be decided by
our good nature, generosity or penu-
riousness. The problem is whether a
hardship has been imposed by the
stabilization regulations.
"The problem is, if you adjust wages
upward, will it get you anything or
will prices go up and everybody lose,
including those who got the change in
policy.
eff a hardship has been imposed
by the regulations the next question
is, is it an unavoidable hardship, that
is, can it be removed without impos-
ing a greater hardship-inflation :?
There is no point in giving a man a
wage increase if it is going to be
taken from him in higher prices"
Mr.. Davis said that it was up to the
labor board to determine whether pre-
sent rules created inequities and un-
due hardship and if SO, whether chang
es could be made in them without
creating price rises and worse inequi-
ties.
AS to how the public members ap-
preached the problem of prices, the
chairman said it was being done Sin
confused state Of mind and the at
tempt would be to see if it can be
clarified"
'"The obligations the board assum-
ed require us to conduct the discus
sion, as far as practicable, with minds

THIS EX-SERVICEMAN
GOES FOR UNIONS

Portland, Ore.-The tangible help
given by unions to honorably dis
charged servicemen and the way such
assistance is appreciated were sharp
ly illustrated in the publication of Lo-
cal No. 63 of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists here.
The union published letter receiv-
ed from returned veteran who had
served in South Pacific battles and
who was helped to find a job by the
local. The veteran was admitted into
union membership without initiation
fee and was given a set Of tools free
with the compliments of the union.
The ex-serviceman, Paul S. Yale, then
responded with the following letter:
During the 25 months I served ov-
erseas with an infantry outfit, and es-
pecially during months in New Gui-
nea, unionism was maligned by the
press and radio until we wondered just
what the future of the service men
and the unions would be after the
war.
''Now / have received the answer
from Local No. SO. From now on
am spreading the good word by mail
to my gang overseas. l hope that in
giving them the true side Of the pic
ture | can convince them that they
are not destined to become forgotten
men,"

FOOD SENT GREEKS
REDUCES DEATH RATE

Increased shipments of food now
being sent to Greece have substan-
tally reduced the death rate from
starvation according to a report re-
ceived today by r. Calvin Skillman,
member of the Executive Committee
Of the Community War Chest, from
the National War Fund on behalf of
it's member agency, the Greek War
Relief Association. Mr.. Skillman stat
ed that almost 81, 200 tons Of food are
now carried monthly by the Mercy
Fleet to twelve neutral Swedish ves-
sells used to transport relief to Greece
One OF the most important items is
$4,000 tons of wheat sent monthly,
Mr.. Skillman continued. Herring has
been included for the first time, and
881a tons have already been sent. A
larger quantity of pilchard, high
protein food, was also shipped-683,
All pounds as against a total of 610,-
910 pounds carried in all previous
shipments. The allotment of rice was
also raised, and when one Of the mercy
ships sailed recently, 6697a tons of
rice were aboard, more than in all
previous shipments combined.
Upon arrival in Greece, the food
is sent to more than 5000 distribu-
ton centers throughout the country
where representatives of a neutral
joint commission make certain it is
all distributed for the benefit of only
the Greeks. The work of the Greek
War Relief Association is supported
by the National War Fund to which
Hamilton Community-War Chest has
turned over part of it's proceeds.
