py the Assocjated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The War
Labor Boards Daily Newspaper
Commission today granted the New
York Newspaper and Mail Deliv-
erers' Union me-and-a-half for
working holidays, new schedule
of vacations with pay and fixed July
II as the effective date of the pro-
visions in new contract with the
New York Publishers Association.
A three-man panel disposed of the
three issues in an interim directive
order which left the bulk of the
disputes to be settled later when
a complete directive will determine
all points.
The case grew out of a 17-day
strike last month that tied up cir
culation Of New York's major news
papers. The panel completed hear
ings of arguments by the inde-
pendent union and the publishers
Saturday.
A WLB spokesman said today's
decisions on the paid vacation and
holiday pay questions had been
agreed to by the Publishers Asso-
citation before the strike began.
The interim order provides for
six holidays: New Year, Memorial
Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanks
giving and Christmas.
"All shifts" it states. beginning
between 1901 am. of the holiday
and 1901 of the following day shall
be paid time and half for the
whole shift"
The time and half ruling, the
spokesman said, mainly would af-
feet employees of morning news
papers because the evening papers
generally do not publish on holi-
days. The decision provided, how
ever, double time pay for employees
who work holidays on newspapers
that are not published on HOLIDAYS.

Court Asked 10 Decide

BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, Aug. GA Federal
court ruling on the conflict between
union contracts and selective serv-
ice regulations in determining the
status of returned veterans has been
requested by the Timken Roller
Bearing Co. of Canton. Ohio.
The suit for declaratory judg-
ment was filed with the United
States District Court following a
dispute with the CIO-United Steel
workers over the placement OF
Nicholas Fano, a veteran of this war
and former employe, Timken spokes-
men said yesterday.
Upon his return from service, Mr..
Fano was give his former job as
piercing mill operator, replacing
nonveteran employe Marion Sprague
who had two months more seniority
at the post, the spokesmen reported.
Mr.. Sprague protested his job trans
fer and was supported by the local
union, they added.
The Timken petition stated the
union company contract provided
that an honorably discharged vet
eran, who is physically and men
tally able, was entitled to return to
his old job if he had seniority
greater than others employed in the
department when he entered
service"
However, the company insisted
that precedence be given ruling
issued June 80, 1914, by Maj. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, national selective
service director, that returning
veteran is entitled to his old job
even though such reinstatement
necessitates the discharge of nom
veteran with greater seniority"
Defendants named in the suit in
cluded the CIO-USA. two of its dis
trict directors, four of its locals, Mr..
Fano, Mr.. Sprague and Col. G. w.
Gobel, Ohio selective service di-
rector.

Continuous Output
OF Whisky Due Soon
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Limited output of whisky and
other beverage alcohol may be au-
thorized indefinitely after July's
unrestricted production.
Announcing this last night, the
War Production Board said the war
alcohol stockpile by years end will
be about $780, 900 gallons, and
added:
"Inasmuch as approximately co.
0O0,0 gallons provides an adequate
stockpile in view of requirements
over 100000 gallons could be re-
leased from industrial alcohol pro-
duction if the estimated require
ments do not increase"
The proposal did not take into
account possibility that lease-lend
shipments of alcohol might be re.
sumed or a War Food Administra-
tion announcement that use of corn
for alcohol may be restricted.
Lease-lend alcohol shipments to
Russia were ended when Germany
surrendered but the Soviets have
asked for additional quantities.
