 Ahead in Ground
 Work on Methods

Washington, Nov. IA (UP)-The Labor Manage ment conference began a speed-up drive today amid signs that industry delegates may swing behind the CIO proposal that the conference take a stand for higher wages.
 Administration officials, includ- ing Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, have told friends that they feel the conference has already made substantial progress in laying the groundwork for new methods of minimizing i industrial disputes.
 Conference Secretary George w. Taylor will submit reports today that will give the executive commit tee a chance to measure that pro- gress. The committee will seek to eliminate any duplication of effort and make suggestions for speeding committee work.
 Management delegates will ask the executive committee to delay action at least another day on the proposal by CIO President Philip Murray that the conference urge collective bargaining on higher wages within the framework Of President Truman's latest wage price policy statement.
 Murray clarified the resolution last Thursday by stating that he does not want the conference to at tempt to work out percentages or complicated schedules as to how much wages should be increased. He said he only wants an endorsement of collective bargaining on higher wages.
 Ira Mosher, president of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers and Eric Johnston, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, disclosed that there was substantially no disagreement among industry delegates for an affirmative stand on wages.
 Johnston said the industry reply may be CD acceptance of the CIO resolution plus the clarification stated by Murray; @ In the form of an amendment to the resolution; or (3D substitute proposal

He said in all his days he'd never seen pressure artists, like the auto men, give Congress the business about his suggestion they cut their profits about four per cent when new mos tor cars finally go on sale.
