Sharp Cut in Workers
Purchasing Power
Is Reported by Clio

A sharp reduction in buying pow
er by industrial workers because OF
increased price of consumer goods
is shown by a Nationwide survey,
the CIO Research and Education
Department announced yesterday.
Replies to questionnaireS indi-
Gated that more than 10 per cent OF
the persons polled have less than
$500 in savings, the labor agency re-
ported.
Tabulations also were announced
as showing 1877 per cent OF the fam
lilies are buying less clothing, 1872
per cent less milk, 88-9 per cent less
butter and margarine, and 72.5 per
cent fewer eggs.
Average wage for families inter-
viewed was stated as $44.83 week.
Asserting that typical families are
buying Al fewer quarts OF milk a
week, 1.3 fewer pounds of butter and
1T fewer dozens of eggs, the report
commented that reports indicate
that at a period Of the Nations
greatest prosperity, working class
families are rapidly being priced out
of the market"
1.-THE figures show clearly" the re-
port said further, that children are
being deprived of badly needed
food. 80" This is obviously danger
Gus situation, and should be quickly
remedied."

The Presidents S Statement

Government pursuant to the War
Labor Disputes Act.
I have asked the Bureau of the
Budget, in consultation with the
agencies involved, to prepare plans
for the reduction Of operations re-
sulting from today's action, and to
devise the most effective and eco
nomical methods for administering
the functions which remain.
The lifting of price controls and
wage controls results in the return
to free market with free collec-
tive bargaining. Industry has sought
removal of price controls while
labor has pressed for removal OF
control of wages. Both have in
sisted that removal of these con-
trolls would lead to increased pro-
duction and fewer work stoppages
High production removes the
hazard of imitation and brings prices
within the reach of the mass mar
ket. Wage rates not justified by
labor productivity and prices not
justified by manufacturers costs
may bring the illusion of prosperity
In the long run, however, good
wages, full employment and sound
business profits must depend upon
management and workers cooper
ating to produce the maximum vol
ume of goods at the lowest possible
price.
Today's action places squarely
upon management and labor the
responsibility for working out agree
ments for the adjustment of their
differences without interruption OF
production.

Text of Order Removing
Controls Over Wages

The text of President Truman's
order removing wage and salary
controls:
BY virtue of the authority vested
in me by the Constitution and stat
utes of the United States, and par
ticularly by the Stabilization Act
of 1912, as amended, and for the
purpose of further effecting an or
derry transition from war to peace
time economy. it is hereby ordered
as follows:
All controls heretofore in effect
stabilizing wages and salaries pur-
suant to the provisions of the Sta
bilization Act of 1912, as amended,
including any executive order or
regulation issued hereunder, are
hereby terminated, except that as
to offenses committed, or rights or
liabilities incurred, prior to the date
hereof, the provisions Of such ex-
ecutive orders and regulations shall
be treated as still remaining in force
for the purpose Of sustaining any
proper suit, action or prosecution
with respect to any such right, liza
bility or offense.

stablization board and its regula-
tions on wages.
The. wage decontrol order applies
to all industries and firms, with
the single exception of those which
are still under Federal seizure, such
as the soft coal mines and several
Great Lakes towing concerns.
All along during the past few
months, as more and more price con-
trolls have been dropped, wage con-
trolls disappeared just as fast.
Whenever an item was released
from price control, Government wage
controls on workers making that
item vanished too.
Labor Fought Wage Curbs.
'Today's action places squarely
upon management and labor the
responsibility for working out agree
mentS for the adjustment of their
differences without interruption OF
production, he said.
Both the American Federation of
Labor and the CLIO have demanded
the end of wage controls, contend
ing that wages should be freed be-.
cause of rising living costs. The
AFL has also demanded an end to
price ceilings, but the CIO has
favored continuation.
In turning back to free econ
omy, President Truman once more
blasted away at Congress for enact
ing an unavoidable price control
law" when extending OPA until
next June 30.
This legislation, he said, has pro-
duced a situation where the with
holding of goods from the market
in hopes of higher prices "is becom-

IS Veterans Lease Units
Seized by 54 Other Ex-6Is
BY the Associo'ed Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-As 81 vet
Grams and their families sat tight"
in a South Side housing project
they seized early this week, leases
on most of the disputed units were
signed today by some As other vet
erans whose applications were ap-
proved by the Chicago Housing au-
thority.
Milton Shufro, assistant executive
secretary of the authority, told the
lessees the authority was "sympa-
thetic" with the housing problems OF
the souatters, but said priority must
be given those veterans whose needs
were most acute. He said there
were 25,OoO eligible applicants for
veterans housing, and only 300
housing units now authorized for
construction.
The leases we're signed after a
meeting at which housing officials
stated they would fight to the fin
ish" against the squatters.
Five of the 54 veterans last night
were arrested on charges of tres
passing, but were released on their
own recognizance and ordered to
appear in the jury branch OF Mu-
nicipal Court Tuesday.

to retroactivity.
But the Citizens Budget Commits
sion instigated a court test Of tho
retroactive provision which is pend
ing, and the union, demanding i'm
mediate payment, has made this az
an issue.
Mayor ODwyer is expected to re-
turn here Monday from Califor-
mia vacation to cope personally with
the transit situation.
Meanwhile, the Citizens Budget
Commission, in brief submitted to-
day to Supreme Court Justice James
B. McNally, contended that the
Board of Estimates proposal to
meet the wage increases through
budget notes was illegal and would
set a precedent seriously jeopardiz-
ing the solvency of the city"
The commission proposed instead
that an obvious source of funds" to
meet the financial problem "is to
rise in the transit fare sufficient to
pay not only this wage increase but
the existing Indebtedness and the
impending operating deficit"
Justice McNally said that he
would work on the case tomorrow
and Monday in order to hand down
decision as soon as possible.

Printers Strike Stops
Rochester Papers,
Threatens 10 Spread
BY the As.oeioisd Press

ROCHESTER, N. Y. Nov. 9.-The
States third largest city was with
out q daily newspaper today as the
result Of wage dispute between me-
chanical employees and the manage
ment of the two newspapers OF the
Gannett group.
The walkout, termed d lockout"
by the international typographical
Union, AFL, was followed by another
work stoppage in the photo-engrav-
ing department where day-shift en-
ployes claimed they had been fired"
after declining to make plates Of any
material not ordinarily handled in
that department.
A management spokesman de-
clared members of the international
Photo-engravers Union, AFL, had
violated their contract by refusing to
produce plates for photo-engraved
editions. The union asserted the
company had violated the contract
| by failing to give the engravers a
weeks notice.
Other Papers Threatened.
The dispute threatened to inter-
rupt publication of six additional
Gannett newspapers in five other
upstate cities, but the management
reported all member papers with the
exception of the Rochester Democrat
g. Chronicle and the Rochester
Times Union had published on
schedule today.
Members OF Rochester Local IS of
the ITU voted last night to reject
management's wage proposals. Of
ficials said the union considered the
work stoppage a lockout" because
members had found the proposals
"unfavorable." They said the union
membership had voted 179 to 4 in
favor of strike
The company declared demands
of the printers were "exhorbitant
and out of line with pay in cities
of comparable size"
The union had asked $50 for 371a
hours a week on the day shift and
S8S for night work. Under terms
OF the contract which expired Au-
gust l the scale was $58 and S63
respectively.
Discrimination Charged.
Alternate proposals presented by
the management offered printers
| $40 a week for day and $75 for
nights, or STA days and $40 nights
with the provision the union men,
bers would waive future sharing in
company profits.
The proposal that printers waive
the profit sharing was described as
discrimination" by the union which
declared no other group of en-
ployes had been asked to waive the
payment which the company esti-
mated had averaged three weeks
pay annually for each employe over
a period of the last five years.

employed on Gannett newspapers

ing so serious as to threaten key
segments of our economy with
paralysis.
Legislation Assailed.
"The plain truth" he said, is that
the inadequacy of the legislation
has cost price control "the popular
support needed to make 1t work"
However, the President said,
shortages are easing in some quar-
ters; wage-price control has proved
its worth, and .in fact, the situa-
ton is far more favorable for the
return to free economy today than
it was when the present badly weak
ened sterilization law finally was
enacted by Congress"
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, which has handled ceiling and
other controls, will be continued for
the time being to supervise sugar
rationing, and ceilings on sugar, rice
and rents.
Mr.. Truman said in his statement
that he has asked the Budget Bureau
and the agencies involved to pre-
pare plans for the reduction OF
operations resulting from removal
of controls and to frame program
for administering functions which
remain.
Price Administrator Porter is ex-
pected to step out shortly. He Is
understood to have recommended
that OPA and the Civilian Produc-
ton Administration be merged with
Office of War Mobilization and Re
conversion. On the contrary, Re-
conversion Director Steelman does
not favor this plan, it is said, pre-
ferring rather that his office con-
tinue as a policy agency, and that
the other two function independent
ly for the present.
The possibility of landlords get
ting an increase, was seen IN the
Presidents statement that 1T may
be that some adjustment OF rents
will be required" He stressed
though, that control of rents and
control over evictions must be con-
tinued."
| Rents are regulated by the Price
Control Act, and Mr.. Truman
previously has indicated that he
will seek an extension OF this
statute beyond the June 80 expira-
ton. The attitude of the Republic
can-controlled Congress on this
issue, however, remains uncertain
The Chief Executive expressed
regret that price controls on hous-
ing materials could not be con-
trolled further, to aid the veterans
housing program, but said that this
was not feasible. The absence OF
curbs he said. will obviously neces-
state a change in the approach to
some of the problems of the hous-
/ ing program" He did not amplity

had been asked ito report to me

ployes.
