In the meantime it developed that
the CIO may get partial answer
to it's steel wage demands from the
War Labor Board before this weeks
ICIO convention ends in Chicago.
WLB Chairman Davis said he
hoped for a board decision in the
steel case before the week is out,
but emphasized it would not change
the Little Steel" formula limiting
basic wage increases to Is per cent

Steelworkers May Get Raise.
Another source close to the board
ventured the opinion an average S
or 10 cent hourly increase may be
given the steelworkers, not as a
basic wage increase, but in compen-
sation for ''inequities," such as night
shift differentials. He said there
also might be additional vacation
benefits.
This would apply virtually to all
steel labor as all get vacations, and
rotating shifts on night work is a
general practice.
Such decision would be followed
by demands from other CIO ano

ers that living costs will not
outrun pay scales.
Climaxing a series of administra-
ton moves all pointing to a deci-
sion to hold on to the principle of
the Little Steel" wage formula un-
til after We day, the OPA prepared
to take specific steps to hold the
price line.
Price Administrator Chester Bowles
called a news conference this aft
ernoon, but Cancelled it to polish
further new regulation to be put
into effect. Associates said it prob
ably will be announced tomorrow.
The conference had been arranged
on short notice after Sundays state
ment by Economic Sterilization Di-
rector Fred M. Vinson that dis
turbing" advances in costs of living,
especially in textiles and clothing,
must stop" Observers believed
Mr., Bowles was ready:
First, to tighten controls over
fabrics and wearing apparel, the
items singled out by Mr.. Vinson as
inflated; and 1..
Second. to announce more rigid
standards for ruling on requests for
extraordinary price increases not
provided for in the Price Control
Act and other laws.
Other Agencies Participate.
On the extraordinary" increases,
OPA is not sole judge. but must set
its ceilings by agreement with other
agencies. usually War Food Ad,
ministration. It was indicated that
Mr.. Vinson, as final economic
arbiter, has given assurance he will
uphold firm position on the part
of OPA.
Events of the last fortnight bear
out the impression of a concerted
effort for a home-front freeze
until Germany yields. The series
began with President Roosevelt's re-
fusal to accept designations from
War Mobilization Director Byrnes
and three members of the War Labor
Board until Germany quits. 1t
gained momentum with the current
campaign to emphasize war pro-
duction and de-emphasize recon-
version in planning.
On Saturday the cost -of living re-
port by a special panel headed by
Chairman William H. Davis of WLB
dashed some cold water on the CLOS
drive for wage boosts beyond the
Little Steel level. It largely up

for its wartime production, but told
of shortages for the fighting fronts
and asked for "herculean effort"
IN the near future to insure victory.
The message read:
Specifically We now need as a
matter of the utmost urgency more
artillery and mortar ammunition,
more tanks, more heavy trucks and
cars, more field and assault wire,
more tonnage and more radar
equipment.
Every one in this country, every
worker must be made to understand
that where a few divisions for brief
periods consumed our ammunition
output, today we must maintain a
raging battle along thousand miles
of front and steadily increasing
battle in the Philippines.
Tomorrow, next week and next
month more and more of our troops
will pour into the battle and more
and more shells, arms and other
munitions will be consumed A
prodigious effort is being made by
our Army. An equally prodigious
effort must be made here at home"
