Little Increase, However

A record number of workers have
gone to the United States Employ
ment Service white collar office"
this week for jobs but officials
weren't sure whether their recruit
ing activities or the coming freeze"
on movement from job to job was
responsible.

increase in the number of requests
for statements of availability, or re-
leases from old jobs, and indicated
that If workers were shopping" for
jobs before the freeze they weren't
going through the USES to do it.
Some of the increase in job appli-
carlts at the employment service, it
was reported, was due to youths
about to leave school for summer
vacations and women going to work
for the. first time as the result of
widespread recruiting efforts.

indicated that some workers intend
to find job more to our liking be-
fore July /, when they face limited

Ruling Clears Way
For Incentive Paw
On Carton Returns
Davis Informs Nelson
Plon Does Not Require
Approval by WLB

District merchants now may make
incentive payments to delivery men
and truck drivers for collecting used
f1berboard and corrugated shipping
cartons, it was learned today.
The plan, similar to one rejected
by the War Labor Board last No
vember, does not need the boards
approval, Chairman William Davis
has informed Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
Board.
Replying to a letter from Mr..
Nelson asking for approval of "a
nominal incentive payment for the
return Of cartons" on q. national
scale, Mr.. Davis wrote that "the
plan you describe - does not call
for the type of payment which re-
quires the approval of the WLB," as
the companies making the offer
would not be making a wage pay
ment, which would require submis-
sion to the board under the national
wage stabilization program.
Mr.. Davis said 1t was the boards
opinion that the plan "is not in
consistent with the wage stabiliza-
ton program, is based on the as
sumption that the payment is
nominal and that it is made not in
consideration of the ordinary serv-
ices rendered by the company's en-
ployes but in consideration only of
the recapture of used shipping con-
tainers."
In his letter Mr.. Nelson pointed
out that WPB had found that an
incentive plan, such as the payment
OF red points and money for the re-
turn OF fats, most effective in salvage
drives. Some companies, he said,
had offered truck drivers 3 cents
for each carton picked up and re-
turned to the plant, but that the
campaign to recapture this vital
material was being retarded by the
reluctance Of most merchants to in
stitute an incentive plan without the
WLB's approval.
Last November, when local
merchants requested permission to
pay employees S cents for each carton
returned, WLB withheld its permis-
sion, holding that the payment was,
in effect, raise.
When the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association intervened,
contending it was only a temporary
plan. one of several devised to relieve
an acute shortage, WLB said. in
eject, the merchants could apply for
authorization one at time. Later,
irving G. Fox, general counsel for
the National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
citation, asked for blanket ruling,
and the idea was rejected.
