Britain Proposes Ito
Set Up World Groups
For Major Industries
BY the Associated Press.

L
PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-Brit-
ish government delegates proposed
to the international Labor Organi-
cation today creation of joint inter-
national committees of workers and
employers for the worlds major
industries, such as coal mining and
textile manufacturing.
Sir Frederick Leggett, one of the
sponsors, was asked at a press con-
ference later whether he believed
workers in backward countries.
learning through the committees OF
health and safety measures taken
In other countries, could force SINH
lar conditions at home. He smiled
and replied, "At least those interna-
tional tcommittee) meetings would
place before them what is being
done for similar workers elsewhere. "
Some delegates interpreted the
proposal to mean that such coun-
tries as the United States and the
United Kingdom are looking forward
here to some means of meeting COM
petition in world trade from nations
which have had low labor standards,
Seeks to Get Definite Action.
The resolution, Sir Frederick
added, Is an attempt to get some
definite action at the lilo confer
ence. Several delegates have ex-
pressed uncertainty about the pros
pect OF getting any definite proposal
out OF the conference because of I'M
certainty over conditions at the end
of the war.
The ILO yesterday received a bid
from Italy for readmission. There
was no immediate indication of
when it would be acted on.
Marshal Pietro Badoglio's appli-
cation-dated March 81 from the
seat of the Italian Government
was made public last night without
comment.
Any recommendation by the gov
erning body would be brought be-
tore the full membership. A two
thirds vote would be necessary to
leadmit Italy, which withdrew in
1889 after the invasion of Ethiopia
The Badoglio letter, avowing "a
spirit of international cooperation, -
said Italy is making daily efforts to
reconstruct its own life"
Italy Challenged Previously.
Italy withdrew from the LILO after
her workers delegates had been
challenged at several annual con-
ferences as not representatives of
free trade unions.
Announcement of Italy's request
came at the end of a day in which
conference business Jagged because
OF uncertainty over the war.
The conference had broken ur
into committee meetings to discuss
specific measures for full employ
ment, policies for colonial coun-
tries and social security.
Discussion of the 40 nations at
tempt to achieve full postwar en-
ployment had barely started when
Pierre Waelbroeck, assistant direc-
tor of lilo, told the committee it
would be wise to leave the details
open for future discussion and sim
ply arrive at statement of prin-

Senate Report Urges
u. 5. 10 Drop Control
OF White Collar PAY
BY the Associated Press.


Abandonment of Federal wage
controls over incomes up to Sl5C
a month for single workers and
5000 for family heads was urged
today by a special Senate COM
mittee which pictured 100000
persons in white-collar and low
income groups as living now be
tween subsistence and priva-
ton"
The subcommittee headed by Sen
ator Pepper, Democrat, of Florida
recommended that the War Labor
Board relax the Little Steel formula
to allow employers to raise salaries
or wages up to those levels without
WLB approval.
In addition, the group called for
Increased funds for the Office of
Price Administration to enforce
more rigid price controls and check
"the present infiationary trend"
Creeping Initiation Reported.
Listing clerks, teachers, stenog-
rap 'ers, Government employees, pen
sion Frs and veterans dependents as
among those hardest hit by in
creased living costs, the report said
that for them imitation has already
begun"
THE OPA has done good work
by keeping prices within some kind
of limits, especially during the last
year, but 1t has been denied the
funds and personnel needed to do
its job effectively" the report said.
1.-THE result has been a slow, creep
ing imitation which, unless it is
checked, carries with it the prom
Use of future chaos
Testimony taken during two
months of hearings showed that the
low income groups dwell constantly
in borderland between subsistence
and privation, where even the ut
most thrift and caution do not
suffice to make ends meet" the sub
committee declared, adding:
Their standards of dress and nu-
triton, their continued education,
their health safeguards: and such
modest security as they have been
able to set up against future need
are being foregone in a desperate at
tempt to meet the demands of the
moment"
Statistics Presented.
The report held that a $50-a-
week salary for a family head left
only very narrow margin of iv-
ing" under present price conditions,
whereas millions are subsisting on
incomes at or near half that level.
AS examples the subcommittee
cited Social Security Board figures
showing more than 100000 local
Government employees averaged
$685. weekly in October, 1913; A.
100000 so-called white collar
workers were paid $2869 in 1943;
more than 100000 teachers re-
ceived less than 81 $50 for the 1912
43 school year, and that 100000
recipients of old age and dependency
awards received far less, an average
of $26.46 monthly in the case of
old age aid.
Although the Labor Department
index has indicated a 23.4 per cent
living cost rise in the last three
years, the committee said it believed
the actual increase was greater
than that.
