LABOR:
NeW Demands

New contract demands by the

unions left Americans wondering if
a new wave Of strikes was in the

corporation for wage increases cor
responding to the rise in the cost Of
living since the union was granted
an 1914 cent an hour boost last JAN
uary.
In pressing its offensive against
Chrysler in the hope Of establishing
a wage pattern for the entire indus
try, the JAW disclosed it would ask
for a minimum increase Of IS cents
an hour to take care of the 1914 per
cent rise in the cost Of living since
last January. A boost Of 26 cents
an hour will be demanded if the
cost Of living should soar 20 per
cent or 80 cents if the rise reaches
Is per cent.
Farm Equipment-1n re-op-
ening contract negotiations with In
ternational Harvester. the CIO-Farm
Equipment Workers asked that union
members ''be allowed to share in
the prosperity Of the company and
the country" Harvester spokesman
denied the allegation that the firm
would treble its best prewar profits
in 1916.
Besides hitting for substantial
pay increases, the FEW also will
seek a guaranteed annual wage as

WOMEN:
Good Soldiers

Women soldiers withstood the
physical and mental ordeals Of war
almost as well as men. according
to figures released by the army.
Although their sickness rate was
above that Of the army as a whole
they showed no outstanding dis
qualifying weakness as a group and
especially overseas where they
were subjected to more hardships-
the difference between sickness
rates for WACs and male person.
mel was very slight.
In the U. S. hospital admission
rates for disease during the last year
Of the wal averaged sos per thou
sand persons per year for all mill
tary personnel. That for WACs
was 1893 per thousand annually or
approximately Sc per cent higher.
The common respiratory diseases
and influenza constituted the great
est single cause for disqualification
in this country. In this category,
the statistics show. the women ran
far ahead Of the men with a rate Of
100 per thousand per year as com.
pared with 100 for the army as a
whole.

it was conciliatory.
Thorny Issues
Mr.. Truman could well prepare
the path for irmness and concilia-
ton what with the U. N. about to
null over an agenda packed with
explosive possibilities. Foremost Of
these was the proposals advanced
by Australia and Cuba to eliminate
the veto right Of the big powers on
the security council, a right the Rus
slams have jealousy guarded to pro-
tect their interests against the An.
glo-American majority.
Other thorny issues included:
. Creation of a trusteeship council
to govern dependent areas Of the
world. particularly the strategic
Italian colonies along the Mediter-
ranean.
. Russia's proposal that allied coun-
tries report on their maintenance of
troops in other states. except for
mer enemy nations.
. Trans protest against Russian
pressure for political and petroleum
concessions.

custer Of the Franco regime in

VETS:
Warned of IdLing

Vets who have been taking 1t easy
and drawing unemployment COM
pensation checks were advised to
get out and look for work il they
were to take advantage Of existing
opportunities and conserve their
jobless benefits for a rainy day.
Vets are allowed $40 a week for a
maximum of So weeks or 500 a
month for 10 2-5 months up to two
years after the war has been Of
ficially declared over.
Expressing concern over the rate
at which many vets are exhausting
their jobless benefits, Veterans adj
ministrator Bradley issued this
friendly advice:
"A veteran who lies idle for a
year, living on unemployment
checks in a period when jobs are
more plentiful than they may be
later, might find it hard to get work
and to get to work when his read
justment allowance ends.
THAT veteran is losing seniority
and experience leading to a better
job.
He Is FORGETTING the cushion of his
deferred unemployment payments
a cushion that is like money in the
bank. . -"
The VA disclosed benefits are be-
ing used up to a greater degree
in the South than elsewhere. Where
as only 1928 Of 1,407, 900 New York
vets have exhausted their payments,
for instance, the rate for Missis.
sippi is 3,429 out Of 1913, 600.

also made it clear that the Sears

him for the Kellex corporation in

Only a few Navy representa-
