sion that acceptance Of the arbi-
traticn award voluntarily would
mean a freeze of their wages for
the duration of the war. If the
terms are imposed on them, they
feel they would not be bound for
the duration if, before then, the
government changed its wage pol
icy.
Not A Freeze
Letters of assurance that the
wage award is not a freeze have
been written by James F. Byrnes
and by the carriers, but the three
unions most vitality concerned say
they have nothing but contradic-
tons; the letters were not ad-
dressed to them and the informa-
ton arrived indirectly. They ques-
ton it because they say Byrnes
had previously told them in his
office that the award was a wage
freeze.
The war department more than
week ago made the point that
the strike had only been postpon-
ed, not cancelled. Brotherhood
chiefs replied that settlement Of
the issue would automatically can
Gel the strike. They say they are
powerless otherwise to cancel
something which has been voted
by the rank and file.
The Is incorporating unions
said tonight they had not decided
whether to attend hearing call
ed for Monday by special presi-
dental board. They, too, say they
have been unable to get from the
government an unequivocal state
ment of the jurisdiction of the
board. They insist that overtime
is the only issue renewable, but
are uncertain from the terms OF
the order convincing the board
whether it may consider also the
four-to-ten cents an hour previous
ly awarded and since accepted by
them.

Jones-Onslow justified it's propo-

while at the same time, by the
action of the WPB, the power

to 5000 kilowatts.
'It became necessary, also for

With a connected load capacity

the Jones-Onslow system, financed
by funds loaned to the cooperative
by the government through REA,

this cost represents from two to
two-and-one-half times as much
as a good pre-war generating sys-

REA reported to the comptrol-
ler's office on December that the
Marine bases had received from
Jones-Onslow total of 24,118,031
killowatt hours during the fiscal
year, 1913, at a cost to Jones-On-

Fisher started straight up the

objective and the Germans have
never been able to dislodge them.
Only half the men who went up
the mountain with Fisher reach
