EMPLOYERS ADVISED
 ON POLICY

Washington, Feb. 23-(UP)- The Government advised em- ployers today that they may not always receive price increases sufficient to cover the full amount of wage hikes granted under the new stabilization reg ulations.
 The OPA said that in grant, ing price relief it also would consider such factors as VOL ume of production, normal operating conditions and avail ability of materials.
 Therefore, the agency said, employers would do well to get any wage increases approved by the Stabilization Board be- fore they apply to OPA for price relief.
 Under the Administrations new wage-price program. OPA is required to relax price ceil- -ings enough to let an industry earn at least as much as it did in the years between 1886 and 1889.

 Lewis along with the A. F. of L. and all of organized labor consist ently has opposed wartime wage controls. But Lewis bowed to these controls even less willingly and shares none of the A. F L.'s sym pathy for postwar price controls.
 The Shaggy-browned union chief tain who recently led his miners back into the A. P L. probably will decide whether he wants to fiout the Administration at this time when the .. Nj. DIS policy commit tee meets here March II.
 Lewis indicated a willingness to go 10 the mat with the government on its wage policies in radio inter view last night And he went even further than the A. F. L. in de- manding a quick end to price con- trols.
 He also set the stage for a head on clash with the C. I. o. when he emphasized that his District 50 would continue its efforts to organ ize the chemical workers. The C. l. O. announced earlier this week that it hoped to organize the entire chemical industry.
 Willing to Take Any In
 Lewis likewise nodded to New York City's Transit Workers now represented by the C. I. O. He said he understood they were mot too happy with their present leadership. Our District 50 will be glad to take in any workers that are willing to come in
 He was asked if the mine workers would pay much attention to the wage-price policy in its wage nego- tiations. Lewis replied that they would expect their problems to be settled on the merits of the coal industry"
 Lewis disagreed with Chester Bowles that the price line could be held in the face of wage increases. He said there never had been a war without some imitation.
 The discussion turned to the pos- sibility of a mine strike. Lewis said the U. NJ. W. always tried to avoid

IA, remained stalemated today. with company withdrawing a wage in- crease offer and the union waiting for management to make the next move.

 T don't expect any early change in the situation" said William T. Bannon, personnel director for the firm.
 Harold Bernard, union interna- tional representative, said that un- der wage-price procedure the com pany should first complete wage price procedure the company should first complete wage negotiations, then apply for price relief Union members said their position was Strengthened by a strike settlement at the Stanley Works, Bridgeport, where the management yesterday granted a straight increase of l8 l-2 cents an hour and production was immediately resumed.
 In its advertisement, the Farrel management said its rejected offer provided that the hourly rate of all employees shall be increased IS 1-2 cents an hour, effective upon the day OPA price relief is granted to the company, retroactive to the day of resumption of work by em- ployes."

THE NEW 1916 READINGS
ARE NOW READY.
E. NJ. H.: l have been married
a year and my husband is good as
a man can be to me. But his grown
children doesn't seem to think he
should be married at all and it
seems that they can't help inter
fering with our affairs. Now | want
to know if should stay on as l am
afraid they might harm me in some
way. | just don't know what to do
but / know that / love my husband.
Ans: Loving him as you do, you
certainly do not want to leave and
make his life miserable as well as
your own. The children can be
handled but it will require a lot Of
diplomacy on your part. First you
must try to let them know in a
round about way that you married
your husband because you loved
him and not for the advantages
that he is able to give you. Over
look their catty remarks and never
allow them to offend you in any
way. Go out of your way to do
them favOrs. Never discuss their
faults with their father as he is
likely to reprimand them thus caus-
ing more i'll will Once they realize
that you are not the complaining
type of step-mOther but a true, I'M
biased and unpreiudiced woman
whom they can learn to love and
respect most of your troubles will
be over. II you are to be happy
with your husband you must win
these children on your side.
D. M. S.: live in a small town.
Sometime ago I went with a wom-
ans husband but l left and went
away for four months. The first
day I returned she started clown
ing about what she had heard. Now
my boy friend (single) rents his
place of business from her and he
has a nice respectable place and l
am afraid to go there because of
this woman. My boy friend thinks
| am trying to get rid of him but I
am not, l am afraid to go there.
l don't want to lose him so tell me
what to do?
Ans: You are going to have to
live down the bad impression you
made by assOciating with this
wOman's husband. Her suspicious
are based upon your previous
actions. But by walking the
straight and narrow .. refraining
from any repetition of the above
act, you can eventually convince
her that you have no desire for
her husband. 1t would disappOint
as well as disillusiOn your present
boy friend If he thought you were
guilty Of trying to attract a mar
ried man. If he desires you to visit

the shop occasionally, it should be
all right but do not go too often
nor stay too long. He should do
the visiting at his leisure time.
J. M: You failed to send your
address when you sent a quarter
for the 1916 Reading. Please do so
Immediately so that l may send
your Reading out to you.
A. B. B.: At 18 married a man
80. have been married 2h years.
l have a child IL and am expect
ing another in April. l realize now
that ! made a grave mistake in
marrying this man and not going
to college. He is common, he
CANDLES, gets drunk, curses and
calls me all kinds of names yet he
claims he loves me. He is very
devoted to the child. l want to
leave him but haven't any place to
60. am so unhappy, what must
l do?
Ans: It's much too late now to
be worrying about what might
have been and what you could have
been had you not married. You
chose marriage and you must ac-
cept its responsibilities. You have
one child and another on the way
and their welfare must be your first
consideration and your own per-
sOnal feelings put in the back
ground for the time being. You
loved your husband when you mar
ried him and the chances are you
two could find happiness If you
would discontinue your pickering
and be more understanding and
pleasant. You won him with affec-
ton, kindness and pleasant ways
and that is the only way in which
to live with him. If you will do all
within your power to make him
happy and iron out your little prob
lens, he will cut down on his gam
bling and drinking and try to live
a more respectable life. His devO-
ton TO his child shows that he
loves his home and will settle down
to his responsibilities If encouraged
and induced in the right way.
You can be happy again if you
make the necessary effort to bring
about this change.
