perties, declared legal by the U. S.
Circuit Court OF Appeals, appeared
headed today to the U. S. Supreme
Court for final decision.
1t was the company's next move
in the controversy following yes
terday's ruling by the court OF
appeals UNFOLDING the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Dec. 20 seizure
order affecting company properties
in seven cities. The 2 TO l deci-
sion reversed Federal Judge Philip
l.. Sulliyan's decision which held
the seizure unconstitutional.
Board Chairman Sewell L. Az
cry. principal figure in the labor
dispute. said the company will car
ry on its fight TO the high court
Meanwhile, no immediate change
in the operation OF the company is
expected. The Army, under Judge
Sulliyan's Jan. p ruling, has been
in control pending the appeal and
is expected to remain in charge
until a final verdict.
Avery, who has maintained that
the governments taking over of the
properties was Illegal, asserted that
the appeals court decision means
the closed shop. Certainly Con.
gress has PASSED no sw intended

In War Work
Yesterdays majority opinion by
Superior Judge Evan A. Evans and
Judge Otto Kerner stressed that
Wards is engaged in war produc-
ton. In opposing the seizure the
company said 1t was not engaged in
war production and was not sub
iect to regulations OF the War La.
Dor Disputes Act, which permits
the seizure OF producers OF war ma
terials. II maintained the Presi.
dent exceeded HIS authority in is

The appeals court held that the
act applied to Wards and set
forth that the company's own &C
ton was recognition Of the ap-
plicability" Of the act. The opinion
said the company in thousands Of
applications for priorities cited its
importance to the war production

The decision further held that

engaged in prodution work within
the meaning of the act, as are the

age department operators the union
had agreed TO rates, ranging from
$205 month to S2l5 but the coun-
Gil went a step further and made
them all S2l5. The union agreed
to guaranteed 40 hour minimum

and the. council gave the proposal
immediate effect.

$3.50.
Other provisions are time and

with five cents hourly increases
each 80 days until the maximum is
reached.
The only point on which there
was lengthy discussion by coun-
Gil members was a proposal under
which a citizens committee oshte
members would be named as a la
Dor negotiating committee to stu
dy municipal employee problems and
mako recommendations This pro.
posal was also accepted but with
three mo" votes. All the other
proposals were passed unanimous
ly.
Aldermen at the same meeting
voted to increase salaries OF all
other municipal employees FIVE per
cent. The whole plan, with the
exception OF the one immediate eff
feet provision, will be started July
l.
The recommendation on which
the agreement was reached had
been prepared by group OF men
representing various interests in
the city. They were: George Veins,
chairman; Joseph Bruetsch, d. T.
Quirk, d. NJ. Silkworth, Louis Beck,
and Rev. Garther Robertson.
This committee gave the council
assurance that the agreement
would be in effect one year and that
during that time there would be no
further effort on the part OF the
union to obtain changes.
