 Perhaps the most serious charge by the committee was that the o. P. A., through administrative edicts, has legalized the very things which prof. teers were unable to obtain from Con- gresS when the Price Control Act was recently extended.
 The committee also went to bat tor consumers against the o. P. As new soap regulations.

 The order permits manufacturers and dealers to obtain prices higher than the l942 level, If they can show they are either losing money on their current production or are faced with that immediate possibility"

A. F. L. Wins Battle Against Wage Slash

A. F. of L. unions have won a battle against an army-navy move to cut wages of workers employed on Federal projects in territories outside the continental United States, such as Canal Zone, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
 For years these workers were paid 25 per cent more than civil service rates for comparable jobs ill the States. In July the armed services wiped out the differential for those workers who had gone 70 the terri tories on their own, without being shipped by government agencies.
 When intensive efforts to persuade the brass hats" to revoke the wage cutting failed, the Government Elm ployes Council, central body of A. F. of L. unions, protested to the White House. That got results. This week President Truman ordered the army and navy to restore the differential.

Chicago "News" Fakes Story On Ousting Of Green

Newspapers have carried a good many false stories about labor dur ing the war, but one of the widest appeared this week in the Chicago ''Daily News"
 The yarn, which carried Wash ington dateline, declared that A. F. of l.. leaders, at a meeting of the FederatiOn's Executive Council i'm Chicago, had called up President William Green to resign, offering to continue his present salary as a pension if he did.
 William L. Hutcheson, head of the Carpenters, was pictured in the story as slated to take Greens place Hutch eson, President George M. Harrison of the Railway Clerks and President Harry C. Bates of the Brick1ayers were named as having served the notice on Green to resign"
 All members of the Council promptly denounced the tale as a s'fake". A statement issued by the A .F. of L. to the ''Daily News" branded the story as completely and utterly false."
 Not a single word or particular of the account has the slightest foun- dation in fact" the statement de- clared. "This story is a malicious and libelous fabrication from beginning to end"
 Harrison Wires Protest
 Harrison wired an additional pro- test to the Daily News" declaring he had participated in no such ac- ton as described in the story and had no knowledge of it.
 ''The whole thing was planted by someone simply to create trou- ble," tho Clerks chief said. 'sThere isn't a word of truth to it.
 Another member of the council voiced the conviction that Green, who has piloted the A. F. of L.. through good times and bad since 1924, when the late Samuel Com pers died," will remain president as long as he wishes"
