Efforts TO beat the wage stab
ilization orders have developed
what might be known as "black
market labor payments" of
growing proportions. Evasions
are in many cases unconscious,
but the ingenuity shown in get

on the wage-hour- law inspectors
who do the policing job for the
War Labor Board.
These escapes, plus the hidden
wage increases above the Little

as have been given to mine

make up stable amount of
chiSeling against the wage stab

Old Policy Ditched New Ruling Permits Reason
 able" Contracts

The green light has been switched on for more liberal sever ance pay plans by action of the Na- tiOnal War Labor Board.
 Unions negotiating for severance pay clauses in their contracts with management have been under definite restrictions in the old policy of the board. The former policy held that severance pay could be allowed only where it is consistent with practices in the industry or area involved.
 The new ruling permits volun- tary applications for severance pay to be approved by regional boards and industry commissions wherever they appear reasonable sseven though they may not be consistent with industry or area practices"
 Announcement of the policy change came in case submitted by the Oil Workers International Union and the Sinclair Oil Corp. of New York, pro- viding for 1 weeks pay after year of service and 2 weeks pay after 2 years, 3 weeks after years, and 4 weeks after 10 years. Previously the severance pay scale stopped at 2 weeks.

Hin. richs, Acting Commissioner of La bor Statistics. The study will be conducted by the Boston Regional Office of the organization.
 Agents will call upon selected number of householders regarding all types of residential units. The in formation to be obtained will include the number, kinds, and conditions oi vacancies and the extent of use and rental charges for occupied units within the city.
 The vacancy and occupancy data for privately owned residential units are being collected at the request of the National Housing Agency for its use in re-examining the local war housing situation.
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics will use the residential data as a part of its regular study of changes in the cost of living of wage earn CTS and clerical workers.

Buying Power Of Labor Is In Doubt
Wage Freeze Keeps Workers Income Almost Unchanged While Cost Of Living Keeps Going Up-De-
 partment Of Labor Gives Figures

Organized labor's charges that the Little Steel'' wage freezing formula has worked a hardship on the nations toilers are graphically confirmed in a new wage study just published by the Department of Labor in its 'sMOnthly Labor Review"
 The study discloses that for vir- tually the entire past year wage rates of the workers have remained almost unchanged, while the cost of living has continued to mount.
 In 12 months the aggregate of wage increases granted to industrial work CTS was revealed to be only 1.1 per cent-or less than one cent an hour.
 Foes of labor are still citing gross weekly earnings of workers, which in clude long hours of overtime and other factors, as proof that the toilers are we'll off, but the Department pointed out that the weekly earning yardstick has become defective in recent years owing to the increased importance of payroll deductions"
 Such deductions now include the 20 per cent income tax levy, social secur- ity taxes, and in most instances war bond purchases; as well, leaving ''spendable earnings" that are far be- low officially published income figures ot workers, the Department declared.
 The freezing of wage rates is par ticularly ominous for the postwar period, when working hours will fall, the study made it clear.
 elf wage rates are held at con- stant level, earnings must neces- sarily fall," the report stressed. s'Even a modest increase of rates would be accompanied by decline in earnings"
 Labor chiefs have repeatedly warned that unless pay rates are boosted now workers will not have adequate buy ing power in the postwar period and an economic collapse would then be inevitable.
 The Departments report shows a similar fear, declaring that "the level of wage rates will be a factor of enormous importance in the postwar development of America"
