Avery Still
WLB Worry

Washington. Aug. 16-AP-The
War Labor Board. groggy from
three and one-half years OF holding
the line against runaway wages,
has some of its toughest problems
still ahead.
Just one Is: What to do now about
Sewell Avery?
Avery is head Of MONTGOMERY
Ward & Company, big Chicago
mail order house whose properties
in six cities have been seized by
the Army. Facilities in seven other
cities were about to be taken over
at wars end.
Avery, defying WLB orders on
the contention they are merely ad-
visory, became the Boards No. l
headache. U. 8. Gypsum Company
and other Avery -headed enterprises
took a stand similar to that Of
Montgomery Ward. thereby adding
to WLB troubles.
While the war lasted the gov
eminent could force compliance
by operating Avery's properties.
Now. however. the question OF
whether an emergency still exists
may be raised either by the Army
itself-which may step out OF the
picture voluntarily-or bv court &C
ton instituted by Avery.
Enforcement OF Board orders was
not seriously threatened by Avery's
noncompliance during the war. but
the Board is not too sure what
effect such an example might have
from now on.
