BOOST ALL WAGE Rates liz
AFL ASKS IN REPORT TO FDR
Adequate PdY
Now Necessary

Washington, ID. c. QLNS).-
why are the workers of the
nation made to bear the brunt
of supporting the entire anti
initiation program 2" the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor MEM
bers of the War Labor Board
asked, in challenging the find
ings of the public members of
the board.
The AFL members-George Meany,
Matthew Woll, Robert ]. Watt and
James A. Brownlow-cited the public
members report to support their own
argument.
Wage rates have increased by 10
per cent" they declared, referring TO
this figure from the report. "The cost
Of living has advanced, based upon
official figures, by 80 per cent.
IL Per Cent Increase Urged
"To correct the maladjustment be-
tween wages and the cost of living,
when measured by the same standard
that was used when the Little Steel
formula was adopted, an adjustment
Of approximately II per cent is justi-
fable"
The labor group charged that the
Presidents 7-point program for sta
bilization, proposed, in April, 1912,
"has not been successfully admins
tered" because it allowed prices to
jump while wage rates remained vir-
tually frozen.
Pleading the urgent need of estab-
fishing wage increases for the post
war period which would compensate
workers for the loss of overtime pay
when war production ceases, the AFL
members urged the President to re-
turn collective bargaining so days
after victory in Europe and provide
that minimum pay be raised for
workers in those industries in which
collective bargaining is not restored.
National Well Being at Stake
We are not only sorely wearied
and harassed by the expedients and
formulas which have been substituted
for the basic principle which guides
collective bargaining" the labor men
said, "but we are appalled, by the
consequences of a policy to cripple us
in solving the reconversion and post
war problems. Wages are more than
compensation for service rendered.
"They determine the kind of homes
workers have, the way their lives will
be conditioned, the opportunities
their children will have, the provi-
sions they can make against emer-

Two Invasion Emphasizes Urgent Need
Of Keeping Up High War Production

Washington, d. c. QLNS).-The
tremendous stream of metal thrown
by American forces on Two Jima, key
stronghold at the very doorstep of
Japan, is described by Secretary OF
the Navy James Forrestal as sharp
ening again "the necessity for the
continued output of munitions in our
plants at home"
Secretary Forrestal forecast that it
will take the output of many factories
and hard work by all hands for
months to come if this country is to
keep the edge of power which thus
far it has been able to attain in at
tack after attack in the Pacific.
At the same time Forrestal praised
the work of Seabees on Guam where,
he said, they have built $50 miles of
roads, established air fields, and con-
structed hospitals.

Health Committee
Doing Fine Job

Clarksburg, w. Va.-Local Union
No. SO met in regular session with
President Sontag presiding.
Brother Mazzie, chairman of the
shop committee, reported the jigger-
ing dispute as being settled with all
parties in accord with the decision.
In continuation of their efforts to
improve health conditions on the
shop, the health committee displayed
several samples of aprons which
could be furnished employees at a
small cost. Following discussions on
the various samples, it was decided to
adopt two of these as standard. A
rubberized apron which the firm will
furnish at cost, and a cloth apron
supplied by local laundry at cents
per week.
We hope it will not be necessary to
have the health committee police the
shop to remind some members that a
week is only seven days, and the end
of the seventh day means new
apron. The cost is reasonable and
there is no necessity for anyone wear
ing their apron beyond the specified
time as adopted by the rules Of the
committee.
We are glad to report the health
committee in conjunction with the
foremen of the various departments
have eliminated several dust condi-
tions existing in the plant. All en-
ployees have been warned by their
supervisors that any ware dropped on
the floor must be picked up immedi-
ately. Failure to heed this warning
will result in fine.
The Red Cross drive is on and |
am sure our members are contribut-
ing freely to the great cause. Be-
tween the war and the flood waters
of the Ohio, the Red Cross is doing
grand job and worthy of our support.

Washington, D. c. ULNS).-Labor
and industry have met the challenge
to greatly increase production OF
heavy duty truck tires for war use.
Hiland G. Batcheller, chief of op-

Board, has announced an increase OF
as per cent in heavy duty truck tires,
from 1,217,O00 made in October, 1914,
to 1,770,OOO produced in February.
Batcheller praised workers and
management of the tire industry for
their "superhuman effort" to supply
rising military demands. Production
in November was 100000, and in
December, 1,423,000.
The WPB official described the
