GOVERNMENT ISSUES
GUIDE TELLING HOW
TO BUY PROPERTY

A buyers guide for purchasing gov
ernment-owned property both from dis
posal and owning agencies made its APP
pearance today under the auspices Of
the Senate Small Business committee.
In the interest of a fair opportunity
for small business" a subcommittee on
surplus war property headed by Senator
Tom Stewart CTennessee), initiated this
first official and comprehensive book Of
instructions to buyers.
The guide lists five disposal agencies
and the Army and Navy as sources Of
government-owned property: classifies
the property handled by each and in
cludes brief instructions to the buying
public as to how it may secure informa-
ton about offerings and how to buy.
Under each agency is a complete list Of
its field offices, where sales actually take
place.
The guides index makes the following
categorical assignment Of property: cap
ital and producers goods, RFC; consum-
ers' goods (other than foods, Treasury
Procurement; foods, VITA; all types Of
surplus property abroad, FEA; merchant
ships and small-powered water craft and
various maritime items, U. S. Maritime
Commission; industrial scrap material
and other items resulting from contract
termination, Navy Department and War
Department. Then under each agency
heading are cataloged full illustrative
lists of the types of property handled.
If small business is to receive its fair
share of SURPRISES, goods must be made
accessible through simple, convenient
and w-ell-advertised disposal methods, -
Senator Stewart said in a letter of sub
initial to the committee chairman, Sen
ator James E. Murray.
Your subcommittee IN Surplus Wal
Property has received a number Of re-
quests for information on the means to
be employed in acquiring surplus prop
erty. The accompanying report repre-
sents the information on this subject
furnished by the Bureau of the Budget,
with the approval Of the Surplus Wal
Property Administrator. By reference to
this report, small businessmen will be
able to determine on the basis Of au-
thoritative information the steps to be
taken to be informed of surplus disposal
action"
Senator Stewart said the guide would
require revision as time goes on " but
in the meantime, the Senate Small
Business Committee feels a responsibility
to small business to make this informa-
ton available

UNION TO
ATTEND WORLD
BUSINESS MEETING

NEW YORK (FP)-Business and in
dustry representatives Of 48 nations will
attend the init. Business Conference
called by the q, S. Chamber Of Com
merce. the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers
and the Natl. Foreign Trade Council at
the Westchester Country Club, Rye, N.
Y. Nov. 1913.
The Soviet Union, left out of the con-
ference sponsors original list which in
cluded a number of fascist nations, will
not be officially represented but M. M.
Gousev, representative of the USSR
Chamber of Commerce in the U. s., will
attend as an observer.
The conference, called ito clear the
for the restoration of international
trade" will discuss: private enterprise,
commercial policy of nations, currency
relations among nations, encouragement
and protection of investments, industrial
ization in new areas, transportation and
communications, raw materials and
foodstuffs, and cartels.
Original plans for this pre-peace table
did not include the Soviet Union,
Federated Press learned from sources
within the NAM and revealed in an ex-
elusive story July 81. The list Of nations
which at that time had received invita-
tons to send delegates included fascist
Spain, Portugal and Argentina and did
not include Russia. A statement issued
by the init. Business Conference office
in October revealed that Soviet Russia
accepted an invitation to sit with the
private enterprise nations of the world
in the Init. Business Conference" The
Russian reply was to an. invitation
cabled two months ago " it said.
An LBC spokesman told FTP it intend
ed to invite the USsR all along but did
not know the name of an appropriate
business organization to ask. The mat
ter was pursued according to traditional
diplomatic procedure and therefore took
some time, he said.

"A. F. |. PRESSES FOR.
ON WAGE
POLICY CHANGE

WASHINGTON, D. C-Pressing for a
quick showdown on the nations basic
wage policy, A. F. L. members Of the Ma
tional War Labor Board refused fatty
to sit in consideration Of any specific
wage cases now pending until the Presi-
dent decides once and for all the future
status Of the Little Steel formula.
The NwLB, still puttering around with
its so-called "factual' report to the
President on demands for readjustment
of the pay formula had indicated an
intention Of proceeding with a number
Of pending cases, and offering "appease-
ment" to labor in the form Of hidden
wage increases.
The reaction of the A. F. L. members
was prompt and uncompromising. They
served notice, after comforting with A.
F. L. President william Green, that they
would be satisfied with nothing short of
revision of the Little Steel formula
which would adjust wage rates upward
to make up for increased living costs.
1t would be impossible, in the A. F. LIS
Judgment, to deal adequately with the
problem on the basis of evidence in any
single case until the overall policy is
decided.
Furthermore, the A. F, L.. is disturbed
by increasing indications on the part OF
the public members of the NWLB of q
desire to continue stalling on their re-
port to the President, thus delaying the
final decision for months.
A. F. L. Secretary-Treasurer George
Meany charged in a public Statement
that NWLB Chairman Davis had lin.
vitedo the A. F. L. members to with
draw from the board if they persisted
in their refusal to participate further il
specific cases until the general wagt
policy is settled,
Davis quickly denied having issueC
such an ultimatum, although it wa.
learned that other public members ha'
warned him to retreat from his extrem0
position.
; Mr.. Meany and Matthew Vol, tn
other A. F. L. board member, were re
ported to be suspicious Of a by tn
NWLB to appease certain c. I. o. union
by offering hidden" wage increases il
the form Of differentials for night work
vacations with pay, ETC., which woul'
not involve any open break in the Littl
Steel formula.
Meanwhile, the public members Of tn
board drafted a portion Of their "factual
report to the President and submitted
/ copies to the other members for discus
sion and consideration. In the opinion
Of some ~disillusioned labor observers
may take at least another month befor'
the full report is completed approves
and sent along to the White House.
Labor members of the board are pro
ceeding with plans to draft their own
report to the President because they ar
convinced that the document prepared
by the public members will be unsatis
factory. The .public members alread,
have served notice that they will maxi
no recommendations to the President Oh
changing the pay formula. The frs
portion of their report, according to MI
Meany, is so vague and diffuse that tn
President could find ample justification
in it either for %readjusting the wagI
formula or leaving it in status quo.

there were reports Of widespread viola

there has been more time to look into

Postwar Stockings

Nylon stockings will be better quality
and probably will cost less after the war,
says Hiram T. Nones, a textile specialist
in the Dept. of Commerce. Women will
have to wait until after the Japanese
wal ends, he indicated, because supplies
Of nylon used now for glider tow ropes,

ials are very short. The improvement in
quality is due to wartime research and
will apply to rayon stockings too, he said
predicting that silk stockings will not

QUOTA
OF CAR TIRES SET

MOntana's passenger car tire quota for
November is slightly larger than the
october quota, A.. T. Patterson, State o
PA Director, said today.
The November quota of 6,565 is 987
more than the quota for october. It is
just about large enough to- meet estimat-
ed November replacement demands by
eligible &C" and d" ration holders, pet
erson said, but is not large enough to
enable local Wal Price and Rationing
Boards to work off much of the backlog
of 1920 approved, but untitled applica-
tons for new passenger a tires for
Montana's essential drivers.
Automobile dealers who refuse to sell
a car to a prospective purchaser who has
the cash and necessary papers may be
barred from dealing in any cars now ra-
toned in the future it was pointed out
today by the local War Price & Ration
ing Board.
The OPA now requires that all auto
mobile dealers post lists of their current
inventory Of 1912 cars held for sale. The
cars must be listed by make, body type,
serial number and engine number and
whether new or used. If the dealer has
no 1912 cars for sale, a notice to this eff
feet must be posted.
1t was further pointed out that any
certificate holder who experiences diff
ficulty in locating a new car for sale
may write for the location Of a suitable
car to: OPA Inventory and Conrtol
Branch, Empire State Bldg, New York
I'D, N. Y.
Maximum prices for eggs for the re-
mainder of this year and all of next have
just been set by the OPA, according to
the local War Price and Rationing
Board. In general the new prices are
higher for the Fall than during the
Summer. But they're lower for next
Spring. Therefore, your total egg bill
will be no higher, for the Fall than dur
ing the Summer. But they're lower for
next Spring. Therefore, your total egg
bill will be no higher. The reason pric-
es are higher at this time Of year, of
course, is that eggs are less plentiful.
Egg production is at its lowest during
the melting season Of September, Octo-
Der and November. mcidently, a point
to remember is that you don't have to
buy the most expensive eggs. There are
plenty of good quality eggs, just as edible
as the e~xtra-fancies. You can get these
for lower prices.

WASHINGTON - The War
Department is playing Santa
Claus for soldiers overseas to the
folks back home.
The Army, through post ex-
changes PO, is seeing to it that
the men on far-off battle fronts
have a chance to do their Christ
mas shopping. Last August the
Army Exchange Service, staff
headquarters for the PIX, sent
by ship and plane thousands of
catalogs carrying illustrations of
popular gifts to exchanges all
over the world.
The soldier goes to the PIX,
chooses perfume, flowers, toys,
war bonds or almost anything
else, pays for it and gives the
name and address of the person
to whom it is to be sent. The
price represents net charged by
the manufacturer, plus handling
and mailing costs.
The gift service was inaugu-
rated last year, when $4,000 or
ders totaling, 1897, 264, were de-
livered. Flowers lead the list OF
gifts chosen by soldiers.
