Want Woqe
Control Back

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-GPA)
News on the wage front, so
far as government agencies
were concerned, was that Off
cials dealing with wage policy
have suddenly discovered that
their own eagerness to "decon-
troll" wage negotiations has left
them up tree.
The War Labor Board has set
Nov. Is as the date it plans to
close up completely. Meanwhile,
other parts of the reconversion
stabilization machinery, and
particularly that dealing with
price controls, continues in
operation.
On the other side, pressure is
growing stronger to force gov
ernment approval of wage cuts.
The War Labor Board had re-
ceived $40 petitions for permis-
sion to reduce wage scales on
Sept. Z.
The current rumor, originat-
ing in the Office of War Mobili-
zation and Reconversion, is that
a new wage policy" would be
laid down by the Administra-
ton, which would ALLOW" wage
raises of 10 to 15%,
Labor spokesmen are cool to
the plan, though none wish to
be officially quoted. They
point out that the unions are
universally asking for rises in
basic wage rates = generally a
800 rise.
No agreement has yet been
reached, according to labor
sources, as to whether the La
Dor Management Conference
called by President Truman and
for Nov. 5, would
take up the wage issue.

bers of the committee.
Management on its side ex-
pressed the view that it did
not intend to rush into print
with principles, obligations and
procedures without considerable
discussion and careful consider
alton of all points involved and
asked for time to consider the
charter and its labor-amended
sections in order that it, too,
might submit its version.
Keynote of Meeting
Keynote of the meeting TAX
ing up almost the entire time
was the question of whether or
not the committee wanted a
charter. Detailed discussion of
the question by industry, labor
and public members brought
agreement that the commit
tee could be good medium for
interchange of ideas between the
three groups and could accom-
plish much in the way of ending
strikes and preventing labor
troubles in Toledo.
Industry members of the COM
n.ittee will probably advance
some amendments of their own
at the next meeting of the COM
mittee on Oct. 16. Charles Sor-
ensen, Willys-Overland presi-
dent, who was appointed by
Mayor Lloyd Roulet to serve as
a management representative on
the committee and has never at
tended single meeting, contin-
ued his perfect absentee record
by failing to show up last Tues
day,

CIO-AFL Lumber
Workers Strike

SEATTLE, Oct. 1-(LPA) -
Refusal of employers in the
lumber industry to bargain on
an industry-wide basis has re-
suited in the strike of $4,000
workers, which. began last week,
charged Kenneth Davis, AFL
lumber workers executive Sec
retary in a nationwide broad
cast over the Mutual network.
The union is asking a S1.10
an hour minimum wage through
out the industry, and elimina-
ton of all wage differentials be-
tween the pine and fir sections
of the industry.
A strike vote under the Smith
Connaly Act was tabulated on
Sept. 6, and showed a x-to-one
vote in favor of strike action.

refuses to agree to the 800
wage raise on an industry-wide
basis, the unions strategy COM
mittee has been authorized to
pull out on strike all workers in
one of the "big three"-General
Motors, Ford or Chrysler.
If such a strike is called, ac-
cording to the union, "all of our
members will work without
work stoppages of any kind to
enable the other automobile
manufacturers to go as far as
they can in capturing the mar
ket from the struck corpora

The WLB is "a dead horse"
so far as the UAW is concerned,

Reasons given for the post
ponement were the Oil Work
ers' strike which has caused
a gas shortage preventing many
delegates from driving their
cars to the meeting, and lack of
a hall adequate to accommodate
the large number expected.
Many Plants Represented
Expectations are that the COM
ing regional meeting will be
the largest ever held in this
area. Due to lifting of travel
restrictions and interest in the
International Union program,
the sessions are expected to find
large numbers of delegates in at
tendance. This will be the first
postwar conference of Region
2-B.

Councilman Burke stated
that every time a proposal
was made in city council the
cry Immediately went up where
are we going to get the money!"
He said that the money was al
ways obtained to pay the hold
ers of the cities bonds and de-
Tended the action of council in
eliminating what he termed 'the
bracket racket" formerly used
in city job classifications.
Attacks PR System
Ollie Pecord, editor of the
TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL
leveled his attack upon the PR
system which he said was un-
American and method of per-
petuating division among the
people. The system instead OF
giving minorities representation
has actually defeated the will
