From Washington Mr.. Driscoll
and Mr.. Mankowski reported that
the results of their conference with
Mr.. Bowles and other o. E. S. Of
ficials were very satisfactory"
Mr.. Driscoll characterized as en-
tirely erroneous a report in today'S
Waterbury Republican that the NJ.
NJ. S. W. representatives told Mr..
Bowles they favored only a small
increase in the cost OF brass"
The matter Of brass prices was
not even discussed, said Mr.. Dris-
coll.
Mr.. Senior supplemented this de-
NAL with a declaration that prices
are not a question that the union
has right to take an interest in. ="
The unions sole concern, he said, is
higher wages for its members.
The OES statement anticipated"
by the union. coupled with brass
ceiling increases, may bring the
long awaited break" leading to the
end of the brass strikes. Chase and
A.B.C workers have been on strike
since Feb. 4. They were joined two
days later by employees OF the SEQ
will Manufacturing Company. Yes
terday strike began at the Oakville
Company Division Of the Scovill
Company.
The deadlock in the strike at the
Waterbury Farrell Foundry a. Mach
Inc Company continued today. En-
ployes, represented by the United
Steelworkers, began their strike Jan.
II. Last week they rejected a COM
pany offer of an Is l-2 cents an hour
increase, turning 1t down because of
a provision that higher prices must
be authorized by the OPA. Follow
ing union rejection, the company
withdrew the offer.
The big 3" Of brass have held
consistently to the view that price
relief must be assured before wages
can be boosted. MMS.W. leaders,
on the other hand, claim that wage
negotiations must. under the new
wage-price policy. be completed be-
fore price relief is sought.
Other Relief Sought
The price situation Is further COM
plicated by the fact that the brass
companies are also seeking price re-
lief for increased costs incurred
since the end Of the war. This has
raised the question Of more than
one brass price increase being
sought.
The National Association Of Man
ufacturers has advised It's members
to make any proffered wage in
creases Contingent on approval by
the Wage Sterilization Board and
assurance Of price relief from the
OPA.
Advises the N.A-sl. News:
If y wage or salary increase
would really squeeze you under
your present ceilings, the safest
course is to insist during negotia-
tons that the increase be depend
ent upon: (a) Wage Sterilization
Board approval. and (b) favorable
action on your request for price
relief"

Rails and IndustriaIs
Recover Slightly in
Depressed Exchange
By Victor Eubonk
Associuted Press financial Writer

NEW YORK, June ia number
Of rails and industrials developed
a mild recovery slant in today's
stock market while many leaders
continued to seek lower levels.
Selling tapered at the start on the
thought that Tuesdays relapse may
have been overdone Dealings
quickened at intervals although the
ticker tape frequently halted. r.
regularly lower trends prevailed near
the close with losses ranging from
fractions to point or so. Transfers
for the full proceedings were in the
vicinity of 100000 shares.
Celotex, on an extra djsburse-
ment, and City Stores, on a raised
dividend, added small amounts.
Support was accorded Santa Fe,
Southern Railway, Douglas Aircraft,
Distillers Corp, Glenn Martin and
Du Point. Backward were u S. Steel,
Bethlehem, Chesapeake g. Ohio,
General Motors, Goodrich, Good
year. Woolworth, American Tele-
phone, Kennecott, Westinghouse,
Allied Chemical and American
Water Works.
The question of price control
legislation persisted as an important
restraining influence. Wall Street
again was bit bearish because the
industrials recently had refused to
follow the rails on their climb to a
l5-year peak.
