Policy Set
Fol Panels

Washington - (FP). - A genera
statement of policy for the fact-find
ing panels operating in management
labor disputes has been issued by the
Dept. of Labor covering the GROUND
such boards may cover in their volun-
tary deliberations which have no lega
standing.
In the matter of wage disputes, the
panels are empowered to recommend
wage boosts in two areas: Q) When
the wage increase can be paid without
any increase in retail prices or in
costs to the u. S. Tin government con-
tracts, etc.; (2) When the wage in
crease is made under the present
stabilization orders and can be used
as basis for increasing sales prices.
Under the first classification, a
wage increase would be accepted by
an employer who valves any right
to use it as a basis for a price boost
for 6 months. Action in this type of
case involves finding that the en-
ployer can absorb the whole increase,
and includes inquiry into the employ
er's ability pay. If the panel de-
cides it NECESSARY to go into ability to
pay, the policy statement says 1T is
to inquire into the profits and earn
nigs position of the employer" and
empowers it to disregard OPA stan
dards for authorizing price increases
as test of ability to pay"
In the second type of case, the
panel can recommend higher wages
coupled with price relief for the man
ufacturer, who must obtain approval
from the Wage Sterilization Board.
Panels are empowered by this section
to suggest that existing standards for
approval of wage or salary increases
foi price purposes should be broad
ened. This suggestion must be made
to the Sterilization Administrator
through the Secretary of Labor
recommending that he consider TAX
ing action in accordance with Sec.
302 (b) of the wage and salary stabli-
zation regulations"

News Workers
Pick Guild

Chicago - (FP). - Editorial en-
ployes Of the Chicago Daily News
have chosen the American Newspaper
Guild as their bargaining agent, over
the oft-stated opposition of Publish
er John S. Knight.
In an NLRB-supervised election,
employees voted l02 to 81 for the
guild There was no opposing union
involved. The vote eliminated z
year organizing drive and rebuffed
Knight, who told his employees nine
days before the election that he did
not see any need for recognized
union on the News. In a vote / H years
ago, the guild was defeated, 80 to SO.
Knight, whose Akron and Detroit
papers both are under guild contract,
pointed to the management's "state-
ment of policy" which he said elimi-
mated any need for a guild.
He stated his belief that union con
tracts "tend to case-harden relations
between employer and employe" and
added that while the first contract
is always drawn up in climate of
harmony after that comes the
clamor for a closed shop"
Knight cited his Detroit Free Press
which under build shop has risen
from third to first place in the city
and recently became the first Detroit
newspaper to pass the 100000 circu-
lation mark--and said that with 1909
guild membership "moral never was
lower, the staff more incompetent"
Included in the voting were Is work
ers in military leave who joined the
majority Of News employees in indi-
eating their desire for something more
tangible than "A company statement
of policy" to guarantee better pay,
conditions and job security.

Market Rinq

Boston = (FP). = An indictment
handed down by federal grand jury
here Dec. 27 cracked wide open a
nationwide textile black market ring,
which cheated New Workers out of an
estimated So million and forced them
to pay $40 for dresses that were worth
only $40.
The indictment, which came after
four months of investigation by OPA
and WPB agents, named II defen-
dants, including the Allied Cement &
Chemical Corp, and 19 co-conspira-
tors, % of them in New York City
and vicinity. The defendants were
charged with conspiracy to violate the
emergency price control act, OPA
maximum price regulations and WIPE
regulations.
The grand jury received evidence
! from New York manufacturers anC
distributors and government investi-
gators showing that some 1,50O,0
yards of finished cotton piece goods
had been switched from legitimate
trade channels to the black market
at exorbitant prices.
The goods were obtained by the in
dicted corporation for ostensible use
in shoe and allied industries but were
later sold to dress, blouse, embroidery
and handkerchief manufacturers and
jobbers for 25c and 60c a yard above
ceiling.
U. S. Atty. Edmund j. Brandon call
ed the indictments vigorous blow
against black market operations in
textiles. So widespread had those OPP
erations become, he said, that dis
charged veterans and other civilians
were unable to get clothing, sheets,
bed clothes, towels and other house
hold necessities. The defendants face
more than 100 counts, with the maxi
mum penalty for each count being two
years in Jail and $10,0C0 fine.

which noted a considerably upswing
in the prevalence Of paid vacation pro-
visions in California union agree
ments.
The report, called Union Labor in
California, 1914, was prepared by the

search on the basis of questionnaires

year 1914 compared with 5lH of the
agreements examined in l94l, the re-
port revealed. A marked increase in
paid sick leave provisions was also
Indicated by the analysis. Among the
contracts effective in 1914 reviewed
in this report, about l4ft of those
covering manufacturing industries and
10H of those covering non-manufac-
turing industries included paid sick
leave provisions.
Union membership in the state in
creased 2as between l943 and 1914

ment during that period The report

ton to be made by the Congress af-

the proponents of federal operation
to be- heard"
President Truman said he was in
thorough agreement with the major
purposes of the bill but he strongly
criticized Congress for tacking on
the employment service rider The
method used by Congress, he de-
clared, violated a fundamental
principle" that legislation on a ma
jor issue ought mot to be combined
with an appropriation measure"
The appropriation cutback fea-
lures of the bill, known as the ere
cission" bill, would recall about
$5l, ,000, 100000 worth of appropria-
tions and , contract authorizations
that would have been available for
expenditure in 1916. This part of
the enactment was largely in accord
ance with a White House recon-
mendation of Sept. 5, and Truman
said that he was disappearing the
bill as a whole "with sincere regret"
Recommendation Repeated
He made clear that this veto would
not spoil the economy merits of the
bill, which he said could be effected
through exercise of his executive
powers.
The President repeated his recon-
that the transfer of the
public employment offices to state
operation be postponed until June,
1947. "The administration, he add
ed, sis committed to returning the
service to state operation, and that
will be carried through.
But this is not the time"
