WLB Expected 10 Ask
12-Cent Wage Raise
For Western Union
BY the Associated Press.

The War Labor Board today
was reported preparing a rec
ommendation for a 12-cent aver
age hourly wage increase fol
$4,000 AFL Western Union en-
ployes threatening to strike jan
uary 7.
AS one of it's final acts before
passing out of existence tonight,
the board voted Saturday to revise
its October II directive calling for
Accent hourly increase.
The ALL union had appealed for
reconsideration, and both the union
and the company stipulated they
would be bound by the boards new
recommendation. ....-..
The WLB also recommended, it
was learned, a 55-cent hourly mini
mum rate which would raise the
pay for several thousand messengers
and other employees now receiving
40 cents an hour and up.
Union Head Encouraged.
W. L. Allen, president of the AFI
Commercial Telegraphers' Union
said the reported decision, although
not officially announced, was very
encouraging" He would not fore
cast the workers reaction to the
proposal or say whether the Janu-
airy walkout would be called off,
however.
Meanwhile, the CLIO American
Communications Association, which
represents 1000 workers in the New
York metropolitan area, was less
pleased with companion WLB
recommendation voted on at the
same time.
The company had appealed from
q New York regional board directive
granting the CIO union members a
10-cent hourly increase and setting
up two schedules, "a" and "B", by
which additional adjustments could
be made to boost the increase that
amount.
According to CLIO sources close to
the board, the WLB voted to recon-
mend that the 10-cent general in
crease and schedule "B" of the re-
gional order be strapped, and that
only schedule "A' should be re-
tanned.
May Go On With Walkout.
This source said, however, that
schedule "A" would provide more
than a 12-cent average hourly in
crease for the New York worker.
In New York, where members of
the union have been told to be
ready to walk out on Is minutes
notice, Joseph P. Sicily, CIO-ACA
international president, commented:
If the decision is as we learned
1t, I do not believe the New York
workers will take it."
Asked whether d. his statement
meant strike would be called, Mr..
Selly replied, you can draw your
own conclusions. We can't disclose
our strategy now"
Company officials refused to COM
ment pending formal announcement
of the boards decisions.

night in the year that every one

The tariff at Washington hotels
will range from no minimum or

largest hotel night clubs. Those
who stay at home can hear the Ma

In New York new face of wooden
planks has been placed on Times

Associated Press reported. At one
new club the minimum is $75 a
couple. 1t will cost from $40 to $50
couple to see the show in one OF

Many Baltic Refugees
In Camps Found 10 Be
Pro-Nazi, AMG Says
By the Associated Press.

FRANKFURT, Dec. 31.-An off,
cial Military Government report
yesterday said a large percentage
of Baltic nationals enjoying United
Nations refuge in at least two dis
placed persons camps had been
found to be Nazi sympathizers.
The report added that a former
Polish SIS man wanted for atrocities
had been found heading another
displaced persons group.
The American CO. investigation
pointed the finger of suspicion, too,
at Nazi elements who enjoy an Al
lied haven by day but engage in
depredations at night and who are
responsible for the main source of
disorder and crime in Germany.
There is a growing belief" the
report said, that responsibility for
many of the depredations attributed
to displaced persons might be traced
to such criminal elements"
Pledge Is Cited.
An official spokesman of the
American army in Europe said,
however, that the United Nations
still were pledged to feed the Balts
and Poles who do not want to go
home, even though they have been
found to be pro-Nazi.
The army is going ahead on that
basis, he said, until the issue has
been decided by the government.
Armed guards have been placed
around some displaced persons
camps, however, to prevent any one
from leaving without pass.
Russia strongly requested thai

grounds of fellow feeling and per-
sonal loyalty, we could never bring
ourselves to leave the Fuehrer alone
in his hour OF greatest need, would
otherwise appear for the rest of my
life dishonorable traitor and COM
mon scoundrel and would lose my
own self respect as well as the re-
spect of my fellow citizens, a respect
I should need in any further service
in the future rebuilding of the Ger
man nation and German state.
Treason Charged.
In the nightmare of treason which
surrounds the Fuehrer in these most
critical days of the war, there must
be at least some people to stay with
him, Internationally, until death,
even If this contradicts the formal
and, from a material point of view,
entirely justifiable order which he
gives IN his political testament.
I believe that I am thereby doing
the best service to the future of the
German people in the hard times to
come. Examples will be more i'm
portant than men. Men will always
be found to show the nation the way
out of it's tribulations, but a recon-
struction of our national life would
be impossible If it were not inspired
by examples which are clear and
easily understandable to all.
For this reason, together with my
wife and on behalf of my children
who are too young to be able to
speak for themselves, but who, If
they were sufficiently old, would
agree with this decision without res
ervation, express my unalterable
decision not to leave the Reich cap
ital, even If it falls and at the side
of the Fuehrer to end life which,
for me personally, will have no fur
ther value If I cannot spend it at
the service of the Fuehrer and by
his side.
