Organized labors record in observing the wartime no-strke pledge defended with unusual vgor by the Department of Labor this month.
 The defense contained in the departments month y report strikes which showed loss of 1725OO0 man. days during June about 23O0 of per cent of the 8OO OOOOOO mandays put by workers the job during the month.
 Also, the report showed stoppages in the first six months of 1945 caused 658OOOO man-days of ideness about 15 100 of per cent of time put i'm Ordinarily the department confines itself merely to publishing such fg This time it went way beyond that.
 "Not all of this time lost" the report pointed on holidays
 "It is estimated that workers in munitions industries alone by remaining the job New Years Day. Washing tons Birthday, Memorial Day and Fourth of July put in more than five times many man-days of work lost through strikes and lockouts during the first six months of this year."
 In fact, by working the four holidays employees munitions industries alone the department added than made the strike losses incurred in all industries for the entire period since Pearl Harbor.

World Trade
 Routes Reopen

To help reconstruct peacetime foreign trade to record proportions, arrivals and departures of all mer- chant ships operating in the At lantic are now again being pub lished and new postwar guide to World Trade Routes" has just been issued by the N Y. Journal of Commerce.
 Publication of ship movements to and from Europe, West Africa and most of South America has just been given the green light by the Office of Censorship. It restores to American business men with over- seas dealings a future The Journal of Commerce has carried for the past 118 years except for intervals of censorship during World Wars I and II. In the early days of ship news reporting, carrier pigeons and fast clipper ships were utilized by the paper to speed the news of foreign arrivals.
 A complete survey of available vessels, number of monthly sailings and ports of call in each of the principal ship routes of the world has been gathered in the World Trade Routes pamphlet. It traces the wartime fates of the worlds merchant ships-from blue ribbon liners to the lowly trampS-and their contemplated peacetime uses.

WASHINGTON - Mastering out pay is like the song-its so nice to come home to. Of course, all ex- Joes know what it's fora sort of allowance to tide over until the new job is squared away, to get us back into civies, and to buy our best girls coming home present.
 l guess you understand that the honorably discharged veteran with 60 days service. or less, rates $l00; more than 60 days, S200; and more than 50 days, plus overseas duty (outside Uncle Sams continental limits), $500.
 It's paid in monthly installments of $100 with first payment due on the date of discharge
 Still, letters coming in to this column indicate there's some uncer- tainty as to who does not rate mus tering out pay. These letters come from men who never got it, and want to know why.
 So I did some snooping around and finally met up with several class es of ex-service people who never will get mastering pay-but, of course, for reason.
 Officers whose base pay is more than $200 dncluding fogies) don't get it. Neither do officers and en- listed men who are retired from the service with retirement pay.
 Veterans discharged at their own request to accept essential employ ment don't rate mastering pay, unless they did some overseas duty. This group seems to be pretty big.
 No mustering-out pay goes to vet erans who spent their entire service in an Army Students Training Pro-

FRED, BARBARA, EDWARD STARRED
 AT 10TH CENTURY

If you're contemplating murder first make sure that Edward G. Rob inson is not lurking in the near VI cinity. Last night, at the 20th Cen tury Theatre, Fred MacMuray and Barbara Stanwyck, starring with Robinson, appeared in Paramounts Double Indemnity
 Sure enough--Eddie discovered that Fred and Barbara were the two culprits attempting to fleece an insurance company of S50,000 com mitting murder to do it, and almost getting away with their crime, This latest thriller, directed by Billy Wild CT and adapted from James M. Gains best t-selling novel, is a picture as tense as they come. Suspense is the principal element in all the lapidfire action and the thrills and chills come fast and heavy.
 The roles played by Fred and Barbara are a distinctly new type for these ace Hollywood performers. Acting the parts required the great est concentration for both. Robinson, however, is right at home in his old stamping grounds as the perplexed, complaining and systematic hunter who tracks down his prey with cool calculation.

gram, Army Air Forces College Training Program or similar Navy, Marine or Coast Guard program.
 Servicemen who get discharge to enter one of the service acad- emies don't rate mustering-out pay, but there shouldn't be gripe in a group of those lucky enough to get appointed to West Point or An napolis.
 Officers who stay on the active list for more than three years after the official end of the war lose their rights to mastering g-out pay.
 And, finally, small group of Air Corps reserve officers. who receive lump sum payments under the act of June Is, 1886, get no mastering cut pay. But those boys are few and far between.
 So if you're not included in one of these groups, you're entitled to mastering out pay But, if your dis charge is dated prior to February B. 1944, the date the mastering payment act become law, you must apply for it.
 If you're one of those before February thirders and you're eX- Army, write to your states Army finance offices; ex-Marine, to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Washington, D. C., eX-Navy or Coast Guard officer, to the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington, D. c.
 The law makes it clear that mus tering-out pay is yours and and yours alone. It's untaxable. un- attachable, and not even your best girl can take it away from you = or can she?

ALASKA R. R. TO OPERATE GRAFT
 IF RATES GO up

In the Washington newsletter from Delegate Bartlett, dated Nov. 23. it says the Alaska rate marine hearing scheduled in Seattle to- morrow is only preliminary in na- ture.
 In line with his belief that the government should subsidize the Alaska service if passenger and freight rates are increased, Delegate Bartlett has introduced a bill in the House giving The Alaska Railroad basic authority to operate steam ships in the Alaska trade. In a long speech on the floor of the House the day he introduced the measure, Bartlett said, in part, T do so with some degree of reluctance. By and large I am not in favor of extend ing government operations to field previously and traditionally served by private capital. In this case, however, it seems not only desirable Eut highly essential Alaska is now threatened by an increase in the already high and almost intolerable rates which are charged for both freight and passenger traffic If these increases are allowed, or if any increases at all are allowed the result will be economic death for Alaska
 The terms of the bill provide that The Alaska Railroad would engage in the business of operating ocean, going vessels between Alaska and the States, as we'll as within the Territory, including the right to purchase or otherwise acquire yes sels, and to repair and maintain them. The Alaska Railroad would operate the vessels directly or by contract with any individual, com- pany, firm or corporation under schedule of rates, terms and condi- tions as the government, acting through it's agency, the Alaska Rail road, would deem proper and neces- Sary.
 This measure has been referred to the House Committee on the Territories for action.
