War Needs
Still Expand
BY LEWIS HANEY
Professor Of Isononies. Ssv Tori Uni,sr

Professor Of Eeononies, Ssv TORI Univsrsity
Industrial activity appears TO
have receded a little in the latest
statistical week. The steel OUT
put was lower. Paper production
declined. On the other hand, war
expenditures and railway car
loadings increased over a week
ago.
The general picture seems to be
the result OF a move 10 step up
war production, at the same time
that the reconversion TO civilian
production is delayed. Evidently
the renewed war-production squirt
Is as yet not enough TO offset the
general cut-back in war indus
tries, and the accompanying tend
ency to 60 slow on shifting back
to civilian products increases the
let down in activity.

mediately from Gen. Eisenhower's
report that the armies are ex-
pending about four times as much
ammunition as anticipated. Ac-
cordingly. WPB head Krug has
ordered doubling of the produc-
ton, which calls Tor over $4,000
additional workers.
OF course, he can't 60 ahead
with the spot reconversion pro-
gram. and even where production
under the spot authorization"
program continues, the product
may be held in the stockpiles OF
the armed forces, as was ordered
for household mechanical refriger.
alton last week.
In the background are the rising
tempo OF our offensive in Europe,
the changes in military technique.
and the manpower shortage. The
latter has been made worse in
recent months by the tendency of
war workers to abandon jobs in
munitions plants and seek work
which Is supposed to have better
future prospects. And a good
many women workers seem to
have gone back to their homes.
LITTLE RELIEF
Some little relief is al hand in
the closing down of certain gov
ernment-owned magnesium plants
that were shut down recently,
thereby releasing about 1900
workers for war jobs. Probably
there are others.
The week was marked by a
good deal of labor trouble. Most
dramatic was the ill-advised strike
of the telephone operators which
threatened to tie up the nations
communication system.
At Dayton. O., additional oper-
ators were required by war con-
ditions, and were obtained by
paying regular wages plus a spe-
cial cost-of-living bonus. The
regular opera tors called this a
discrimination and struck for the
same bonus.
The strike spread 10 other
cities, including Washington. The
National Federation of Telephone
Workers sanctioned the strike and
called for a sympathetic strike"
by other unions.
CALLED OFF STRIKE
Then the government finally
prepared to seize the telephone
exchanges. and the union officials
called off the strike. deciding TO
ask the WLB 10 consider their
alleged grievance on its merits
as they should have done in the
first place.
During the week, the Go con-
vention at Chicago attacked the
War Labor Board Especially its
public members. Byrnes and Vim
SOM. It demanded wage increases
through revision of the Little
Steel formula, and a 65-cent
minimum wage. II favored a
world labor rganizatlon including
Soviet workers.
BIGGEST NEWS
But probably the biggest news
rs the finding of the WLB in the
steel workers wage case. The
gist of the boards decision is that.
despite the Little Steel wage
sterilization formula, and despite
the governments own claims 10
have stabilized the cost of living.
the wages OF a large part of the
steel workers are 10 be raised to
an important extent by indirect
means.
Provision is made for premiums
for night shifts. dismissal pay,
and liberalized vacation and holi-
day schedules. II also seems that
a provision for eliminating wage
inequalities within plants may
bring an average Increase. All
this Is retroactive to last Jan. 3.

In addition to these dangers,
