ferrals and compulsory releases.
Immediate enforcement of the
"work-or-fight" principle also was
called for by the NAM, which said
that no additional legislation was nec-
essary for such enforcement. Selec-
tive Service was asked to re-examine
and re-classify Immediately all 4-F,
A-A and 2-B draft classifcations to
insure that all who can be used in
war work are channeled there and
kept there.
A memorandum outlining the NAM
program declared that it was adopted
after thorough study of the urgency
of the production situation, and that
"the question confronting US is
whether industry can carry out its
program on a voluntary basis or
whether both industry and labor must
be put in straightjacket by compul-
sorry legislation" Voluntary solution
of the problem is demanded.
Publicity Campaign Urged
This memorandum urged state and
| local industrial associations to set up
committees to cooperate with the en-
tire community "to stimulate the
local consciousness of the war pro-
duction crisis and to bring all ele-
ments forcefully together for its
solution"
Among potential activities of such
committee, the memorandum sug-
peSted canvass of the local war prO-
duction situation, including all fac
tors; obtaining agreement by all ele-
ments of the community on all parts
of the program which would contri-
butte to maximum production; aug
menting and strengthening govern
ment agency committees where they
had become inactive, and an aggres-
sive public relations program in the
community to reawaken workers and
management to the urgency of the
war production situation.

AFL Group Sees FDR And Demands
Prompt Breoking Of Wage Freeze

Washington, d. C.-An AFL COM
mittee, headed by President William
Green, conferred at length with
President Roosevelt at the White
House on key labor problems affect
ing the war effort and the postwar
future.
The principal topic of discussion
was the AFL demand for scrapping
of the Little Steel wage formula. The
last AFL convention directed Mr..
Green to convey its position on this
issue to the President. He took with
him on the visit to the White House
Secretary George Meany
and Vice President Harry C. Bates.
The labor delegation told the Presi-
dent that the wage freeze is begin
ming to hamper war production and
complicate manpower shortages in
low-wage industries.
They also warned that failure to
adjust wages now in realistic rela-
tionship to higher living costs would
dry up purchasing power in the post
war period and retard recovery.
Another powerful plea presented
to the President was for the lifting
of minimum wage levels, particularly
among white collar workers and gov
ernment employees who have been
afflicted by static incomes during a
period of infationary price rises.
1t was reported that the President
made it clear that he has come to no
decision as yet with respect to the
Little Steel formula as he is awaiting
a report on this subject from the Ma
tional War Labor Board This report,
when submitted, will first be referred
to Sterilization Director Vinson for
an opinion as to whether adjustment
of wage rates would force further
price increases,
Pending manpower legislation and
rumors regarding a successor to Sec
retary of Labor Perkins are other
subjects of deep concern to labor but
it could not be learned whether these
matters were discussed at the White
House meeting.

preSSureS built up IN Jne current
drive, the Congress of the United
States will not adopt national serv-
ice act. 1t is probable, however, that
some measures of less scope, but still
of far-reaching effect, will be adopted
by the Congress. There may also be
further stringent 'decrees' or 'direc-
tives' issued under delegated wartime
authority of the President, usually by
his executive aides.
Military Drive Charged
"Much of the recent and current
hullabaloo has simply been intended
to make the public more war con-
scious.' Juggling figures should not be
a part of the trick. Whether or not
such procedure is practial, or whether
it may boomerang into public resent
ment. remains to be seen But it is
known that top Army and Navy Off
cials are in dead earnest in the drive
to achieve full civilian control, as
well as military control, during the
war. And they have gained important
support. But there are many sound
facts against such a setup, which are
gradually getting through to the pub
q elic-and ta the Congress. These facts
show definitely that forced labor is
not the right answer to the few re-
naming manpower shortages, nor to
the most efficient war production.
"The current issue of the AFL La
bor's Monthly Survey epitomizes
many arguments by saying: The
Army knows much less about han
ding problems of production and
civilian manpower than (does) man
agement and labor Also, that Army
officers tend to think in terms of
forcing large numbers Of men into a
manpower tool Actually, however,
this is very wasteful of workers, for
it results in faulty utilization of man
power, and (it) is not the way pro-
.duction problems are solved 81
"That is the gist of the arguments;
but, far more important, are FACTS,
which clearly support the arguments
against a national service act and
control of civilian affairs by the mill
tary."
Facts Condemn Labor Draft
"The War Production Board, after
examining all the facts, as of Jan. 5,
says there is no overall production
crisis The WPB estimates the rea-
sons why certain programs become
critical were as follows: 40 per cent
due to sharply increased schedules;
20 per cent due to design changes; II
per cent due to lack Of facilities, and
% per cent due to labor shortages OF
various classes and at various places.
$50 despite arguments, the fact is
that even temporary labor shortages
were less than one-fourth responsible
for development Of critical situations
and that's official. At present, very
few programs are critical, and they
are improving, while war production
generally is on or above schedule -
and that's official, too"
