CONTINUED from rage ~
as well as agreement on other I'M
portant issues.
Despite a series Of 10 meetings
held previously with American
Brass, said Mr.. Mankowski, no wage
offer was made by the company
and no agreement reached on other
issues.
When Commissioner Maggiolo
finds a proper basis presumably
wage offer by A.B.C0, the union
will be ready to sit down and ne.
gotiate the issues, he said.
Though the Scovill discussions
held the labor spotlight today, the
OPA session with the industry COM
mittee Monday may be Of great sig
nificance. Industry leaders appear
more hopeful about this meeting
than any previously called by the
OPA. Perhaps on the basis OF this
optimism, there were reports that
the OPA Is ready to allow upward
revlsions on price ceilings which
manufacturers claim are necessary
to make up for operating losses and
increased costs since the end Of
the war. Such a setup. should it
come, would probably lead directly
to wage offers to the unions. with
the companies subsequently apply
ing to the OPA for still further price
relief on the basis Of whatever in
creases. are granted.

Ronkin Smocked
With Libel Suits

WASHINGTON (LAP)-Rep.
John E. Rankin D.,Miss) shot
off his mouth once too often,
he learned last week, and as
result he now faces libel suits
amounting to s650,o0O brought
by IL honorably discharged
veterans and a retired brigadier
general.
Rankin 5 mistake this time was
that he forgot to confine his
libel and SANDER to the floor
of the House where his rantings
have Congressional immunity.
The two suits, one brought by
Brig. G Gen. H. {. Holdridge,
retired, and the other by IL
members of the Veterans League
of America, charge that Rankin
libeled them over the telephone
and in the House cloakroom.
Rankin is alleged by the vets.
each of whom earned at least
one decoration for valor, to have
said that the Veterans League is
a "Communist-front" organiza-
ton. Holdridge, who sued for
S100, 900, charged that Rankin
called him crazy" Claiming
t hat by "Communist-froat"
Rankin meant that their organi-
zation was traitorous, the IL
men denied they are Communists
or in any manner affiliated with
Communist front organizations.

Strike Publicity
Obscures Lobor's
High Production

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Idle-
ness due to strikes throughout
the nation during the first five
months of this year was more
than twice that for the entire
year of 1945, the Labor Depart
ment disclosed last week.
From Jan. / through May a
total of 81 100000 man-days
were lost as compared to 49,
.025,0o0 for last year. The 1875
strikes beginning in the first
five months of 1946 exceeded
the number beginning in the
same period last year, but was
less than the 2098 recorded in
the first five months of 1914.
Fewer new stoppages occurred
in May than in either March or
April. Over one-half the time
lost in May was due to the btu
minous coal stoppage which be-
gan April z.
Despite these figures, however,
reconversion was moving swiftly
a h a d. Commerce Secretary
Henry Wallace complained that
the widespread publicity given
to work stoppages, production
difficulties and commodity short
ages during the first four months
of this year has overshadowed
the impressive flow of goods that
actually emanated from the ma
tons factories"
Factory shipments, he said,
were about 10 per cent greater
in physical volume during the
first four months of 1916 than
they were during the same pc
riod of 1941. These shipments,
in dollar value, totaled about
S35 billion, about 40 per cent
higher than during the first four
of 1941, and equal to
about two-thirds of the peak
war time production a year ago.
