asserted the trials are proceeding

Enlisted men now on trial in

Thus in the interests of justice
to all individuals and in the interest
of protecting the Government, the

dertaken in advance in order to in
sure the full participation of en-
listed witnesses in later trials of OF :
ficers.

Wage Board Ruling
Limits Price Relief
To Part Of Pay Raise

The administration unGerScored
its bulge not a break description
OF the new Wage-priCe policy today
by holding that only part of a re-
cent pay increase JuStifieS a price
rise.
The ruling came from the Ma
tlOnal Wage Sterilization Board in
a case involving an -cent-an- hour
wage increase granted March by
IA Detroit milk dealers.
Specifically, the board declared
that only 10 cents of the increase
coud be used BY the dealers in ap-
plying to OPA for price relief. The
wage settlement ended Today
strike Of approximately 200 Go
United Dairy Workers.
Ruling First of Kind.
As 4 result of yesterday ruling
first Of its kInd-the dealers will be
required either to absorb the 6-cent
difference or apply 10 the wage
board for permission TO reduce their
pay scale 8 cents an hour.
Board Chairman W. Willard Writ
pointed to the decision 10 diSpel
what he described as a general feel
ing that the Government would ap-
prove for pricing purposes any pay
high parallellng the recent increases
gwen IN the steel, automobile and
oil industries.
These approved increases all have
been in the neighborhoOd OF l8 cents
an hour.
The dairy companies had argued
their l8-cent figure was consistent
with the general pattern OF postwar
pay adjustments in the Detroit area
specifically in the automobile and
steel industries. But the Wage Board
held. with labor members dissenting
that the Sltua tons weren't COM
parable
Bakery Increase Cited.
The cutback in hours worked and
IN take-hOm pay IN other Industries
Went substantially beyond" any,
thing similar in the dairy industry,
the majority held.
In approving the 10-cent amount
tor price increase request. the
board held that this sum "coincides
with the increase agreed on recently
IN another substantial food industry
IN Detroit and is in line with "ad-
JuStments granted in the dairy in
duStry IN other metropolitan areas. -
The labor members contended
there was a relationship between
aut0motlVe and dairy pay in Detroit
and that l7-cent increase had been
approved for the Detroit bakery in
duStrN. like dairying a food process
ing industry.
Under the wage price policy. paw
increases, to win Sterilization Board
approval, must either follow gen.
eral pattern in a related industry
or correct a gross inequity between
related industries. The board held
neither situation applied in the
dairy case.
