Government Cafeteria
Wage Dispute Placed
Before Labor Board

A wage dispute involving $500
Government cafeteria workers en-
ployed by the Welfare and Recrea-
tional Association was certified to
the War Labor Board yesterday by
Secretary of Labor Perkins. The
workers are represented by Local
All of the United Cafeteria and
Restaurant Workers, CIO.
Both F. w. Hoover, general man.
ager of the association, and Oliver
T. Palmer, union business agent,
said there had been a strict agree
ment that no work stoppage would
result from the War Labor Board s
decision, whatever it. is. The union
is contending that though the aver.

ers is in accordance with the Little
Steel" formula, it Is not enough to
maintain a decent living standard
IN Washington" Mr.. Palmer ex-
planned.
Mr., Hoover said that if wages are
raised, the association will be forced
to apply to the Once of Price Ad-
mlnistration for an increase in the
ceiling prices now charged to the
thousands of Government workers
eating in the cafeterias.
Mr.. Palmer explained that after
deduction for meals, laundry and
income tax, the money actually re-
celved by each worker is about
$l,l43. The majority of the work
ers are women, many of them living
alone and finding it hard to make
this sum stretch over their ex-
penseS, Mr.. Palmer said.
The 1900 workers were in the
news in August when the War Labor
Board authorized a system of raises
on the basis OF efficiency ratings.
The method of determining who
shall receive the raises is still under
discussion, Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Palmer said, therefore no one has
yet received any After comparison
Of efficinecy ratings given stimuli
taneously by the management and
by the union, Mr.. Palmer said, the

increase for every one would pro-
duce better morale and smoother
