Assembly today.
r Delegate Robert Whitehead Of

to the debate in a prepared state

require 81 500 900 additional for the

Jurisdiction Of Union!
In Virginia Utility
Merger Before NLRB
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A double issue labor dispute aris-
ing from the merger of Virginia
Electric & Power Co. with the Vir-
ginia Public Service Co. has been
taken under advisement by the Ma
ticnal Labor Relations Board. .
Arguments before the board were
a sequel to a four-day hearing last
October in Richmond, before an
NLBR examiner on these issues:
/. Whether employees of VEPCO
whose duties are supervisory in
nature, should be included in the
bargaining unit represented by the
AFL International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers QBEW).
2. Whether the Utility Workers
Union (UWU, an independent
should include certain employees who
have come into VEPCO as a result
of the merger.
Change Approved.
The company contends that the
present bargaining unit should re-
main undisturbed and should ex-
tend company wide to include the
properties formerly owned by the
Virginia Public Service Co. prior to
the merger in May, 1914.
The IBEW argues that foremen o1
the company should be in the same
bargaining unit with production anc
maintenance employees.
The IBEW and the UWU have
been bargaining agents since 1943
when the NLRB ruled that foremel
and supervising employees should b.
excluded from the IBEW. At tn,
| same time the board ruled tha
UWU should be the bargaining
unit for plant clerks, system opera
tors, meter readers and collector
and janitors and maids.
In general, the unit establishe
by the board for the UWU to repre-
sent included clerical employe.
while the unit established for tn
IBEW included manual workers il
the production. maintenance an,
distribution departments. Tn
boards decision excluded from tn
| units working foremen and all othe
supervisory employees.
Merger Starts Conflict.
Prior to the company merger tn
IBEW had contracted with the oil,
Virginia Public Service Co. to in
clude foremen, system operators
meter readers and collectors.
The merger thus produced a con
flict, since these workers were al
ready included in the UWU of tn
Virginia Electric g. Power Co.
The UWU, however, has no in
terest in the dispute relating to rep
Presentation for the supervisory EN-
ployes. It is concerned only will
obtaining clarification of a pre-
yious certidcation so as to includ
definitely other employees similar t,

Price Control Needed
AS Curb on Initiation,

By the Associated Press.
HA1YYMfoR3H Eeh,

By the Associated Press.
/ BALTTMoRE Feb. i. = Warning
that @we do not want the BOOM
crash that followed the last war;"
Secretary of the Treasury Vinson
said last night that continuance of
price controls and "prodigious pro-
duction" were means of holding the
line against imitation.
Addressing the Baltimore Associa-
ton of Commerce, commemorating
$50 years of banking in Maryland,
Mr.. Vinson declared, "We have won
the imitation battle for nine rounds
It would be pathetic if we lost the
10th and last round"
Holding that disastrous imitation
is still possible, Mr.. Vinson described
as tools to finish the job: Price con-
| troll, the buying of Government
bonds or saving in other ways, con-
troll of credit purchases and most
of all the will to prevent imitation.
=. Faulty Reasoning. ~
1--WE should extend the Price Con.
troll Act just as soon as possible te
remove the lingering hope of the
minority that they can profit Out
of the scarcity that exists before
our total reconversion makes availa.
BILE all of the items for which oul
appetite is whetted.
1.-The feeling of the businessman
who wants to remove price controls
is not hard to understand. He CO.
operated, as did we all, to win the
war. He may now see a mirage o1
big profits going by the board every
day because he cannot charge more
than ceiling prices for his goods
His conclusion that price controls
should be abandoned is faulty"
Although he termed imitation the
most important problem facing tht
Nation today, Mr.. Vinson called at.
tention to other problems.
i He said housing "is field where.
in the realization has never been w
to the ideal of truly American
standard of living.
Housing Inadequate.
1.-THE inadequacy Of our housing
has been accentuated by the war
so we are further behind than evel
before A real housing program will
be great contribution to our entire
economic condition because it Is q
big market for many materials ane
it has a great effect upon employ.
ment."
Mr.. Vinson cited aid to veteran.
land lifting of wage minimums al
additional problems to be solved
Calling the veteran 'the one thai
made the genuine sacrifices in thi.
war;" he said 1--WE must make the
interruption to his career OF As little
disadvantage as possible"
The present minimum wag,
standard of 40 cents an hour lis fal
too low" Mr.. Vinson said, addinf
that I'VE must have a substantial
increase in the minimum wage un.
