Know How" Bulletin 10 Aid Manufacturers Dur-
 ing Transition Period

Boston, July GA "know-how' educational bulletin to guide New England war contractors lover the hump" into civilian production and emphasizing their responsibility during this transition, was made available by the War Production Board today.
 The bulletin is primer for war contractors who have been or those who expect to be affected by cutbacks or cancellations of pro- duction for the armed services.
 In a series of applicable ques- tions and answers the circular ad- vises that eff matreials are hoard ed by even few manufacturers, our whole reconversion program will be jeopardized."
 Second only to war production" i" says the bulletin, WIPES big job today is the orderly reconversion of plants formerly producing mill itary items back into essential civilian production. The key to this job is material This will be made available only by opening up mill schedules through cancelling and reducing not-needed war orders and by the avoiding of excessive inventories
 The bulletin also cautions that WIPES compliance department is ready to launch a thorough sur vey of plants hit by cutbacks to determine the status of their in- ventories of materials.
 Purchasing agents were advised that copies of the bulletin may be obtained on request to J. A. Goldthwait, pfiorities education section, WIPE, IT Court street, Bos- ton 8, Mass.

Akron, July 6-The rubber com panies vigorously deny that there is any legitimate reconversion angle involved in the strike situation here. It is true that she unions advanced that argument as an apparent after thought. Nevertheless, the best-in- formed non-partisan observers agree that the imminence of reconversion is an important aspect of the con- trovefsy.
 The fundamental postwar issue, If these objective informants are correct, is one which will cause trouble also in other industries, though perhaps in no other will 1t take quite the same form. It arises from the fact that during the war sales competition has been non-ex- istent, and economy of operation has had to be sacrificed for speed of production. But once manufac- turers return to civilian goods, and once the existing backlog of accum- ulated consumer demand has been cared for, price competition again will become of prime importance. COMPLEX WAGE SYSTEM
 Therefore each consumer indus try, as war production ceases, is going to face the problem of cutting production costs to a competitive level. In the beginning, at least, the attempt must be made to do this without reducing wage scales.
 What appears to have happened in rubber is this: About a year ago war manufacturing methods had be- come sufficiently frozen so that top executives could turn over their mill itary output to production men and begin thinking about how. to get their shares of postwar consurAer patronage in very highly competi- tive industry. This involved plans for recreating sales and service staffs and outlets. It also required consideration of manufacturing costs.
 Tire making has a wage-fixing system that can be described loose ly as piece-work, but is very com- plicated to explain in lay terms. It is, with variations in each company, the Bedaux system. Over-simplified for purposes of clarity, it is a meth

EAST LANSING, Sept. 2S-
Veterans on the Michigan State

from ousting them.

Perhaps that is the idea and it will
