Jas Proof That j. ).
Has Wage Policy
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman W.I,am H. Davis OF
the War Labor Board yesterday
unveiled a "bible of stabiliza-
ton" which he described as his
answer to the question whether
the Government has a wage
policy
II think" Mr.. Davis said in a
news conference statement, that
one of the most frequent, and most
erroneous, of current comments is
that the Government ought tc
have definite wage policy The
fact is that the Government has
a definite wage policy. 1t ough,
to be definitely understood"
The chairman said one of the
common misconceptions is that the
Little Steel formula is the Gov
ernment wage policy, when the fact
is that the formula is only single
part of the policy. That was his
reply to question about the rail-
road wage case in which Stabiliza.
ton Director Fred Vinson first re.
jected an Scent wage increase, but
eventually approved increases of 8
10 and II cents.
The confused reaction to that
| Mr. Davis said uaS "another ref1ec.
tion that the people think the Little
Evening star., 1944-04-02

| Steel formula is the only way to
increase wages"
The Davis bible" collects the
controlling division Of the Stabi-
lization Act and executive orders
into relatively brief code, with
condensed statement of how these
rules work out. The broad general
principles governing wage adjust
ments are set forth under four
points:
81. The Little Steel formula
stabilized the general level of wages
by placing a definite limitation
upon the grant to groups of work.
ers of general rate increases. This
limit is is per cent above their
wage rates on January I, 1941.
Within this limit increases may be
made to selective groups Of en-
ployes whose wages Jagged behind
in the race between prices and
wages which began about January
/, 1941.
80. To correct those inequities
which result from wages insufficient
to maintain a decent standard of
living, the wage policy as now de-
fined permits employers to increase
minimum hourly wage rates up to
40 cents without seeking the ap-
proval Of the War Labor Board, and
the regional War Labor Boards are
authorized to approve voluntary ap-
plications by employers to increase
minimum hourly rates up to 90
cents.
"3. Within the general level OF
wages, established wage differentials
which are normal to American In
dustry are stabilized by the bracket
system. An existing rate cannot be

increased II 1t lies within the range
Of sound and tested rates prevailing
for that occupation in the labor
market area. Gross inequities due
to wage rates below this range may
be corrected by bringing the rates
up to but not above the minimum
Of the bracket, except in rare and
unusual cases in which the critical
needs Of war production require the
setting of a wage at some point
above the minimum Of the going
wage bracket.
Il. Inequities among the wages
paid within a plant may be cor
rected only subject to the limitation
that such adjustments must not in

French Doubt Allies
Will Permit Them 10
Rule Liberated Areas
By the Associated Press.

oS the associated Press.
ALGIERS, April 1.-The French
Committee of National Liberation
disclosed today it has drafted a
complete blueprint providing for i'm
mediate administration of the Lib
Grated areas of France by French
military and civil officials as they
are freed by the Allies.
The Allies, who will determine
the form of government for the
liberated areas, are not expected to
approve the French plans.
Under the French plan, problems
of administration arising in France
in the wake of the invasion forces
would be handled by delegates ap-
pointed by the committee until such
time as the committee can assume
direct control.
Answer to Roosevelt.
The plans were approved more
than two weeks ago, it is understood.
They thus predate and, in effect,
answer President Roosevelt's state
ment that supreme authority behind
the lines in France after the inva-
sion starts would be invested in
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
The text of the decisions have
been transmitted to Washington,
London and Moscow.
They dovetail with Gen. de
Gaulle's recent declaration to the
assembly implying that the French
are not disposed to have the Allied
military government-or anything
resembling it-sent into France.
Application of the French plan
depends on approval of the big three
governments, and French official
quarters frankly admitted that they
doubt that approval will be given.
Cite Help of Underground.
French quarters in Algiers said
the committee has sufficient prestige
with metropolitan France, and
enough capable personnel, to under
take the task successfully. They
asserted that numerous and highly
organized French underground
groups, which are expected to play
q vital part in the actual invasion,
recognize the authority of the COM
mittee as provisional regime.
At the same time, French official
quarters emphasized the plan was
not designed to embrace authority
in connection with actual military
operations. But they are genuinely
opposed to having rear area ad-
ministration placed in the hands of
foreign civil and military officials.

crease the level Of production costs
appreciably or furnish the basis
either to increase prices or to resist
otherwise justif1able reductions in
prices.
These four basic rules, each with
its own clearly defined stabilizing
limit, frame the area within which
wage adjustments may be made to

avoid gross inequities and aid n
the prosecution of the war without
lifting the general level of wages.
BY this policy we have definitely
prevented that upward spiraling of
wage rates which would otherwise
have resulted from competitive bid
ding for scarce labor in a tight labor
market"

County Agent $
Column
by Walter L. CLICK

This week there is some news
about cows and chickens and other
livestock In addition, we have
an observation or two to make.
As an interested dairyman, &C.
iii EIIar off Kennewick was in the
CO.. office the other day to in in
ouire about having her herd test,
cd in a regularity organized herd
Improvement association for milk
and butterfat production. Un-
fortunately there are not many
dairymen of the kennewlck area area
and certainly not enough to form
s,,ch an association. However, If
enough dairymen would be in
terested, perhaps some day an
association could be formed. The
advantage is great because as Mr..
Nichols, dairy specialist at the
State College of Washington, re-
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-11-23

ports that for the nation as a
whole, almost twice as much av-
erage production resulted from
cows in the testing associations
when compared with the average
production of all milk cows in the
nation. The conclusion to be
drawn is that intelligent culling
practices and better breeding and
feeding methods account for the
most efficient use of feeds and
gives the owner a better profit.
A word from Washington state
extension economists about the.
poultry population is in order.
They say that after three years
of record production the total
number of chickens is on the
downgrade. The number of laying
hens now on farms is about the
same as year ago, but the num-
Der of young chickens to be raised
this next year is estimated at 20
percent less than the record num-
Der last year and the suggestion is
made to continue to Gull poultry
flocks but see poultry buyers
or professors before attempting to
market chickens because some
processing plants are unable to
handle them as rapidly as offered.
Poultry marketing normally
reaches a peak around this sea-
son of the year and marketings
have been heavier than usual be-
farmers have been encouraged to
Gull out hens in line with pros
pective reduction in egg require
mentS. This makes it all the more
important to market birds in an
orderly fashion.
Any dairyman who does not
apply for the subsidy on milk and
butterfat is losing from 10. to
20 cents per pound of butterfat.
v. 0. Humphrey of the County
AAA states that more applications
should be made at the county
office. Payments for shipments for
September and October are being
made now. The rate of payment
is 10 cents per pound butterfat
as cream or 70 cents per 100
pounds whole milk.
Your county agent in coopera-
ton with the Soil Conservation
Service, with Otto Schnellhardt
in charge of the Kennewick office,
spent one day last week taking
soil samples from various mint
fields. These samples were sent
to Pullman State College for an
alysis. The thought of the whole
project is to see if anything is
lacking in the soils and what can
be used by way of fertilizer which
would do the most good. Samples
of soil were taken from farms
having high yield, medium yield
and low yield. Nine borings were
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-11-23

made from each field with the
first foot down being placed in
one sample and the second foot or
part thereof in another. It will
be some time yet before the. chem
lists at the college will have the re-
suits determined and tabulated.
When livestock is poorly housed
and poorly fed, it is more likely to
become sick than well kept live
stock. Poor housing invites losses
from pneumonia, influenza, and
other similar troubles. Poor feed
ing lowers natural resistance to
many infectious diseases. e.
Even though flies have ceased
to be as troublesome during this
cool weather, both the housefly
and the stable fly can spread di..
sease from sick to well animals
rapidly. This is especially true
with hog cholera.
Your county agent will be at
tending the annual county agents
conference at the state college
the week after Thanksgiving. The
office will be open for service as
usual.
And by the way, if anyone
wants ride up to Yakima to the
horticulture meeting on "soft fruit
day." Tuesday, December S,
will have room for one or two
more. We would leave early
Tuesday morning, returning that
same evening. Please phone the
office if interested. Fruit men of
this area should attend the soft
fruit session on December S.
Hundreds of farmers are in
jured and many are killed every
year while cranking tractors, but
most of these injuries could be
prevented by following a few
simple rules, believes r. N. Miller,
extension service engineer at WSC.
He gives five safety rules for
starting tractors as follows:
1, Check to see that the tractor
is out of gear.
2. Be sure of firm footing.
Spread sand or ashes on icy ground
before cranking. =,
3. Grasp the crank with the
thumb on the same side of the
handle as the fingers.
4. Keeping the back nearly
verticle and lifting with the legs,
crank with short upward strokes.
Do not spin" it. ssa
5. Do not run the motor in a
closed shed. Carbon monoxide is
odorless and kills without warning.
