Mead Urges Writing
Manpower Use Survey
Into Work Measure
BY J. A. OLEARY.

Oy - &As " AA&1AtAs
Surveys to determine how war
plants utilize the manpower they
already have should be required
in the pending manpower bill,
Chairman Mead Of the Senate
War Investigating Committee de-
clared last night as the Senate
Military Affairs Committee ended
its second week of consideration
of the measure.
Senator Mead made known at
the same tipe that he believes the
Washington Navy Yard. which he
visited Friday, is "functioning fair
lily WELL"
After a similar visit recently to
the Norfolk Navy Yard, Chairman
Mead and Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan complained
|of manpower waste there. The two
Senators went to the Navy Yard
here Friday, as part Of . study
their committee has been conduct
ing for some time into manpower
utilization.
Employment Is Stabilized.
Referring to the Washington
yard, Senator Mead said:
"The employment there Is more
stabilized than in CNavy's) con-
struction yards. Transportation and
housing facilities have contributed
to better performance record than
in some of the flung yards"
Meanwhile, the comments of in
dividual Senators continued to In
dicate that the compulsory work bill
for men 18 to As, which passed the
House 10 days ago. will be rewrit-
ten In the Senate to conform more
closely to the job control system
already being operated by the War
Manpower Commission and the War
Food Administration.
Some members of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee have
not made up their minds, but there
is strong group on the Committee
who believes compulsory assignment
Of workers to war plants by draft
boards, as provided in the House
bill, is not necessary.
May Have Majority.
These Senators, who may already
have a majority, are leaning toward
amendments that would strengthen
the existing War Manpower Com
mission plan Of placing ceilings on
the number of workers In plants,
and seeking to control the move
ment of workers through a priority
referral program, In cooperation
with labor management committees.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat of
West Virginia, a member Of Military
Affairs, indicated yesterday he is
considering some amendments along
those lines, but was not ready to
discuss them in detail.
II think that is the realistic view
to take unless some new information
comes along to change my mind" !"
Senator Kilgore said.
Won't Stop Labor Wasting.
Senator Mead said the bill as
passed by the House would fail of
its objective" because it would not
stop labor wasting in plants that
are overmanned.
ANY bill that is reported should
contain provision for manpower
utilization surveys" said Senator
Mead, adding that he believed they
would show many factories over
manned.
The Military Affairs Committee
resumes closed hearings on the bill
Tuesday, with heads of farm organi-
cations listed as the witnesses, but
Chairman Thomas has predicted no
decisions will be reached before the
end of this week.

C|0 Asks Hike
in Wage Rates
Union Recommends
20 Per Cent Increase

WASHINGTON, May 22-(P)
The CIO called today for a 20
per cent increase in prevailing
basic wage rates Ito restore pre-
war relationships between wage
rates, prices and productivity per
man-hour.'
The recommendation for a 20
per cent increase on top of the
Is per cent allowed under the
Little Steel formula was present
ed to President Truman by CIO
president Phillip Murray.
Unless labor receives an even
larger share Of what it produces
than in 1910 when ten million
workers we're jobless, he said,
"even more workers will be un-
employed
The CIO said labor's earlier
argument that wage rates must
be increased to keep pace with
living costs still holds good, and
Will neceSsitate an upward ad-
justment of at least ten per cent
on the basis of the most conserv-
ative estimates.
The statement added, how
ever:
Such an adjustment would
make no allowance for the in
crease in labor productivity
which in over four years may be
estimated conservatNely as ten
per cent or more.
"Such a 20 per cent increase
in basic wage rates is necessary
simply to restore pre-war rela-
tionships between wage rates,
prices and productivity per man.
