nounced as necessary to determine
where it stood in the matter of steel
contracts, ended at midnight last

A union spokesman said the walk
out, which started Wednesday, was
a protest against a National Rail-
road Mediation Board ruling order
ing 81 maintenance workers, repre-
sented by the CIO-United Steel

hood Unions.

Truman Substitutes
August IS, Is for VI
AS Premium Pay Date

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
disclosed last night that President
Truman has issued a formal order
substituting August IS and Is for
VI Day in the list of days for
which premium pay is required for
war workers.
The President has asked that
VI Day. when it Is proclaimed, be
day Of work and not a holiday, be-
cause Of the widespread observance
OF last Wednesday and Thursday
as holidays and "in view of the
urgency Of reconversion," Secre-
tary Schwellenbach pointed out.
An earlier order had been in
terpreted by some officials as max
ing August 1916 legal holidays and
also making VI Day a premium
pay" day. This order. issued last
Tuesday night. was described by
the President later as having been
released through mistake.
Amends Earlier Order.
Last nights order was in the form
OF and amendment to the Tuesday
order.
The amendment does not make
August Is, l6 legal holidays" Sec
rotary Schwellenbach explained
and only applies to war workers
performing work for prime
contractors and subcontractors on
Government war contracts and
those who make the materials and
supplies necessary for the perform
ance OF the contracts and subcon-
tracts"
The effect of the amendment as
to these workers, is to require as
follows: A. That they receive time
and one-half compensation for
working on August IS and August
49,. B. Under the interpretations
previously issued by the Depart
ment OF Labor that both of these
days should be counted as days of
work in computing the 7th day
worked in the work week whether or
not work Is performed on those
days, and c. That August IS and
August is should be counted as DAYS
Of work for the purpose of comput-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-08-19

ing the sixth work day in a work
week for premium pay purposes,
where premium pay for the sixth
day is required by existing contrac-
tual arrangements in a particular
plant"
Mr. Schwellenbach also said the
President hopes that straight time
wages will be paid for August Is and
August 16 to all wage earners who
did not actually work on those days"
The Labor Secretary said the War
Labor Board had adopted a resolu-
ton permitting such payments
Nothing was said as to premium pay
ments for workers on Jobs not
related to Government contracts
who did work on August IS or Is
Thus whether they should receive
anything other than usual wages
was left entirely up to employers.
To Revoke Roosevelt Order.
The Labor Secretary said he had
recommended that executive order
9240 be revoked and that the Presi-
dent, agreeing, would revoke it to-
morrow.
This order, issued by the late
President Roosevelt, directed that
time and one-half be paid wal
workers for their sixth day of work
in a week and double time for thee
seventh. 1t also set forth holidays
for which premium pay should be
paid workers.
Recall Of the order will have nc
effect on existing union contracts
as to overtime pay or on the Fair
Labor Standards Laws Requirement,
for premium pay for hours over 4
worked in a week

3O% Wage Increase
Asked for 100000
Al General Motors
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Aug. 18.-Walter P
Reuther, vice president of the
CIO United Automobile Workers
disclosed today he had for
warded to General Motors Corp
a demand for a 80 per cent wage
increase for 100000 unionized
automobile workers in the cor
poration's plants throughout the
country.
Mr.. Reuther, who is director Of
the JAWS General Motors Depart
ment. indicated the demand may be
the forerunner Of similar action
throughout the industry.
In letter to c. E. Wilson, presi-
dent of General Motors, he proposed
that Mr.. Wilson take the initiative
in bringing about a conference look
Ing to an industry-wide application
of the wage increase. In that case,
Mr.. Reuther said, the demand on
General Motors would be withdrawn
in favor Of the industry wide nego-
tiation.
Increases Are Permissible.
The union leader pointed out in
his letter to Mr.. Wilson that under
4 new Government policy wage in
creases are permissible provided
they do not necessitate increases in
prices.
THE profit and reserve position
OF General Motors" he asserted,
provides ample margin for absorb
ton Of the wage adjustment without
necessitating price increases.
Mr.. Reuther asserted General Mo-
tiers had made "tremendous" profits
during the war period and said that
labor productivity had increased
sharply.
The demand for a 80 per cent
wage increase, he said, is necessary
to maintain take-home pay of the
workers which has dropped 80 per
cent by reduction of the work week
from 48 hours to 40 hours.
Company Officials Silent.
There was no immediate comment
from General Motors officials. The
union demand came as virtually
every employer In the industry faced
the necessity of laying OF thousands
Of workers following the concella-
ton of war contracts.
The JAW recently forwarded
demands to the Ford Motor Co.
an annual wage for Ford
employees. a retirement plan and
other adjustments in the contract
between company and union. Ne
gotiations on these demands were
recessed when the surrender of
Japan was announced.

.WPB Revokes Order
Setting Aside Fabrics
For Low-Cost Clothes
By the Associated Press.

.! the Associated Ffes9.
The War Production Board yes
terday announced revocation of its
far-reaching order earmarking most
civilian fabric for inexpensive cloth
ing, effective October l.
The agency said the order will be
replaced by a program Of consider
ably less scope.
The order revoked, known rs
M-3S8, had set aside about IS per
cent Of civilian supplies of wool,
cotton and rayon fabrics for 1874
kinds of low and moderately priced
garments.
The new program provides prior
ity assistance in obtaining fabrics
for the manufacture Of only 80
apparel items.
WPB said the program was being
reduced in scope because cutbacks
in military requirements for cloth
ing have eased the situation"
This apparently meant the agen-
cy feels apparel items no longer
listed for priority aid will be made
in sufficient quantities anyway.
The M-388 program was put into
effect early this year, along with a
companion OPA measure to roll back
clothing prices 6 to per cent to 1913
levels.
While OPA subsequently changed
this to 1914 levels-which were high

WPB's plans for revoking M-38s

by OPA, and the dispute between
the agencies had to be resolved by
