|WLB Proposes Vinson
Decide fringe Cases
On Pay Adjustments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A War Labor Board proposed
compromise in the battle Of the
fringe"-how to handle industrial
wage adjustments not involving gen.
eral wage increases-was before the
Office of Economic Sterilization for
approval today.
Backed unanimously by the board,
the new policy suggests that Sta
bilization Director Fred M. Vinson
referee fringe cases just as he now
does general wage changes ordered
by WLB.
On its part. the board would try
to keep the smaller adjustments
within "stabilization limits" to fore
stall price increases.
A two-month deadlock on the
issue between the WLB and Mr.
Vinson has held up board decisions
on several industry wide cases in
cluding those Of the packing house
and textile workers.
Fringe" Cases Are Defined.
Fringe" cases, IN WLB province,
are those involving paid vacations,
night shift differentials. job reclassi-
f1cations, and the like. as differenti-
ated from general wage adjustments
which are limited by the Little
Steel" formula.
Most of these cases involve minor
changes in individual company pay
rolls, but lately some have branched
out to affect whole industries. The
recent steel case is an example.
| Until it awarded fringe demands
by the steel workers, resulting in an
average boost of several cents an
hour. the WLB had not made a
single award of this kind which
required a price advance to COM
pensate management for increased
costs. The steel award itself re-
suited only in some minor price
changes but no general upward
advance.
But soon after these Mr.. Vinson
wrote the WLB, saying no fringe
awards could be made requiring
price relief. This was his interpre-
tation OF an executive order known
in labor circles as 1928. He also sug-
gested that WLB consult the OPA
first to find out whether price in
creases would be warranted.
Opposes Reference to OPA.
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
said the OPA reference would not
work, that it would lead to endless
red tape.
In resolution sent to Mr.. Vinson
yesterday. the WLB suggested that
Mr. Vinson be the final arbiter of
board decisions in fringe cases in
volving possible changes in the wage
structure. Mr.. Vinson has con-
tended he does not have this power
under order 1928. It is believed an
amendment Of this order would be
necessary to carry out the boards
proposal.
Mr.. Davis told a news conference
last night that up to now the board
has made no adjustments requir-
ing price increases and that Mr..
Vinson has disapproved only IL OF
about 10000 cases sent to him by the
board.
so the system has worked out
very WELL" Mr.. Davis said, land we
think it should be applied to these
fringe cases"

cannot say that we should blame South for doubling four hearts, but with the perfect cross ruff, Olson was able to make his contract.
 Dumrny's ten was played to the first trick and when South covered with the queen, 1t was ruffed. A spade was then ruffed and the jack of clubs led. South had to put on the ace. This was ruffed, and another spade ruffed in dummy. On the king of clubs, the declarer discarded spade.
 In all, the declarer made three trumps in dummy. four in his own hand, the ace and king of diamonds and the king of clubs.
