tore victory IS won. 1 hope that the number of L-M Committees, there fore, will continue to increase and that those now functioning will i'm prove and not relax in their efforts to maintain the production on which victory depends"
 Approximately 56 per cent of all L-M Committees represent plants employing from 100 to 1000 workers; 20 per cent from 1000 to 5000; l6 per cent from one to 100; S.8 per cent from 5000 to 10000; and 3.4 per cent more than 10000.
 By industrial classification, the ord nance industry, including all types of guns, ammunition and tank pro- duction, has the largest number of I'M Committees with approximately 55O, representing 100000 workers. Iron and steel plants nave more than 45O committees with 720,OOO workers.

Propaganda Is Not Pooling Our Troops

"Iron Age" organ of the steel trade, got the surprise of its life when. 1t conducted a poll among re- turned war veterans to find out their views about unions.
 The vets didn't reply quite as nt'Iron Age''s expected. and, in fact, demonstrated they haven't been poi soned against labor by anti-union pro pagandists.
 For job protection, 90 per cent said unions were good things, since they were the only voice an employe possessed" the magazine reported, in summarizing results of the survey.
 Over GA per cent favored retention by labor of the strike weapon after the war. More than 59 per cent in dorsed the closed shop on the ground that it afforded the best worker protection and that all who benefit by a union should share in dues payments"
 Finally, the magazine admitted, the ex-service men "pooh-poohed the idea that war workers have swollen pur- chasing power" and voiced the opinion that "the rise in the cost of living has about capitalized wage in creases

Stamford MachnistsA oevne Get$675 OOOBackPa,

The New England War La bor Board today announced modified approval of a plan providing for automatic length of service wage adjustments within ranges, designed to af- feet nearly 28OO employees of the Yale & Towne Mfg. Co.,, Stamford.
 The plan, a modification of an agreement by the company and Lodges 539 and 1857, InternatiOn- al Association of Machinists, A. F. of L., was approved retroactively to Nov. l3, l942 in the case of 26OO members of Lodge 539, and to Mar. 2l, l943 for l8O members of Lodge 1857, which embraces the mechanical equipment department. By mid June, retroactive wage pay ments due to Yale X TOwne em- ployees will amount to about $675,- 900.
 The Board also directed that the company and union negotiate revision of the present incentive system so as to eliminate intra-plant inequities be- tween the rates of day workers, who were previously granted 6.8 per cent wage increase, and the rates of incentive workers engaged in pro- duction of non-war goods. Subject to Board approval, the revised incentive rates will also be retroactive to the same dates mentioned above.
 Other contractual provisions, in- cluding union security, checkoH of union dues, seniority and holi- days, were previously settled either by agreement between the parties or by Board directives.

Vacation Planning
 Suggested By WLB

Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the WIPE, this week declared it is now time to make arrangements if industrial workers are to receive va cations this' year without curtailing production.
 Nelson said it is important that labor and management plan in ad- vance in order that worker produc- tivity shall not decline Or production be cut because of vacations. As a final word, Nelson said "The WPR wants to emphasize the importance of not permitting any worker to waive his vacation in order to re- ceive his vacation pay as additional income. Such a practice would defeat the whole purpose of vacations-in- creasing production by restoring the workers energy and zea1.'

Want Surrender To Be Unconditional

DENVER-A majority of Ameri- cans have crossed the word appease- ment off their books, survey by the National Opinion Research Center, University of Denver, showed this week
 Today 81 out of each 100 civilian adult Americans agree with Roose- welt, Churchill and Stalin that only on terms of unconditional surrender should the Allied commanders stop fighting on the European continent, the survey revealed.
 Ten persons in each 100 think the Allies should be satisfied with some thing less than unconditional surren- der. And one in each 100 would com pletely wipe out Germany as com- try so that there will be no military or civil authority left to surrender and negotiate peace terms.

 he said. Overall production sched- ules for 1944 are approximately 20 per cent greater than the record breaking total of last year. Fur ther1nore, these schedules are more complicated because of changing military requirements which re- quire that some types of prOduc- ton be curtailed while others are being expanded. In dealing with production problems such as these, the Labor-Management Committees have proved of inestimable value.
 Ever since the War Production Drive began, these committees, estab- lished voluntarily by management and labor at the suggestion of the War Production Board, have been instrumental in increasing, improv- ing and expediting production in mines, mills, factories, shipyards and lumber camps throughout the coun- try.
 From these committees have come thousands of examples of how they have speeded vital wea- pons and equipment to the armed forces, have improved the utiliza- ton of manpOwer to meet increas- ing shortages, reduced accidents and absenteeism, conserved essen- tial materials and salvaged vast quantities of critical metals. Count less man-hOurs have been saved through the suggestions systems sponsored by L-M Committees.
 These accomplishments speak for themselves. They show what can be achieved when labor and management work together for victory. But much still remains to be accomplished be-
