HONEYMOON FOR
 GI BRIDES FROM BRITAIN X OVER
Flood Of Complaints Pour. ed Back Into london
 Here Are Several
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

The honeymoon in America ap- pears to be over for scores of G. | brides from Britain
 The folks tack in England are being told by the brides that life in New York is not all peaches and cream. let alone tea and crumpets.
 The London papers broke out to- day with rash of stories from the G. I. brides-brides of despair, they called them.
 Stories about British girls being abandoned by their American eX- soldier husbands in New York.
 Stories about the brides being neglected by United States offi- cials and being mistreated by the American people
 Stories atout the hard time the brides are having making a go ot it with the money given them by the United States government.
 The flood of complaints started with an interview given by Mrs. Millia Vincent, when she arrived in England last night. Hers was a story of divorce by proxy from Charles w. Vincent of Birmingham, Alabama. Mrs. Vincent, who has l2-year- old son by a previous mar riage. said that when she reached New York last August ske was told by an immigration official:
 "Ycn are a divorced woman. You ha-t no right to travel here under false pretenses at the expense of the United States government
 Until a few weeks ago, continued the British bride, she and two doz- an other brides who were unable to find their husbands lived in ho- tel. The American government al lcwed them S2 day for food and another S$2 for rooms.
 The money" she said, was enough only to buy breakfast. The hotel cost me $50 a week English women were shabbily treated in New York. American women sneer- cd at us, and the clerks kept us waiting"
 Mrs. Vincent's account was sup plemented ty a New York dispatch to the Daily Mail which said that hundreds of British war brides are stranded in New York. They were represented as living in squalor' awaiting passage back to Britain. Without the help of the American Red Cross, said the dispatch, the brides would be penniless. one bride. the mother of two children, who said she hadn't seen her G. l. husband since they were married three years ago, was quoted as say ing:
 It has been heartbreak. But the worst thing of all is the treatment we girls and our babies have been getting in restaurants. They seem to know we have been left to cur own resources, and they take de- light in making things difficult.

ALASkA CONVENTION OF GO lS BEING HE'D
 HERE; jURlCH TALKS

Delegates at the first day meet ings of the Alaska convention of the CIO in Juneau yesterday were welcomed and given the keys to the city by Mayor Waino Hendrickson, who spoke briefly at the opening session.
 ! Keynote speaker of the day was Jce Jurich, President of the Inter- national Fishermen and Allied Workers of America. Jurich stress cd the need for conservation of Alaska fisheries, which are faced with possible reduction or deple- ton. He discussed particularly the necessity of aiding and implement ing the work of the Fish and Wild life Service in it's enforcement and research branches in the Territory. Many nations are concerned with the North Pacific fisheries, explain ed Jurich. notably the United States, Canada Mexico, China Japan and Russia. The problem of i conservation is much more than a local or regional affair; and so the IFAWA is taking participating part in efforts to get cooperation on high level in the State De- partment for international agree rents.
 Court Case
 Of vital interest to all fishermen was Jurich's discussion of the Fed eral indictment case against the International Secretary of the IF AVA and II members, due to come up in Federal court at Los Angeles on February IS. The case, brief ly, is the result Of efforts by the union to obtain minimum price scale agreements with the dealers at Southern California ports A question wolch has been worked over fer ten years, this case will set a national precedent.
 California law says 5nat no fish, erman may go out to fish unless Eo has a market for his fish But the Federal law says that a fish erman cannot sell to more than two dealers or he is doing so in | violation of the Sherman Anti Trust law
 1 One dealer can handle only So much fish at time, and if more comes in, he is forced to refuse it. Since t is against the law to dump fish, they must be sold. of ten at fraction of the price to another dealer
 The IFAWA wants to sign agree nents with the dealers that would i guarantee a minimum rate to be paid for all fish sold. Federal law says that is in violation of the Antitrust laws, said Jurich : Committees appointed at the op- ening sessions of the CIO conven- ton included the Rules Committee. Legislative Resolutions, Ways and Means and the Publicity Commit tees.
 Members of the Rules Committee are Ruth Hayes, Carl Weidman and Arthur Walther; the Legislative Committee consists of Floyd Mad sen. John Olofson, Verne Albright, George Ford and Arthur Walther. l On the Resolutions Committee are Ed Dull, Carl Weidman, Gib- son Young, John Olofson, Louis

Average Plant Wage
Peak Of S1.22 an Hour
Is Reported in June
BY me Assee;oied Press

The bureau OF labor statistics re-
ported today that average pay in
manufacturing hit record high OF
sl.22 an hour for q 40-hour week In
June.
At the same time Bureau Director
Evan Clague said rising food prices
and rents In the next few months
may send the cost Of living past the
record level of mid March.
Mr.. Clague said the manufactur-
ing wage scale in June began to re-
feet the wage increases of 10 to Is
cents an hour in basic industries last
Spring. 1t was up nickel an hour
over February.
Real wages"-average earnings
weighted against consumer prices
were up 70 per cent from August.
1899, Mr.. Clague said. The weighted
earnings we're 1875 per cent f<the
1899 level. while the actual average
weekly earnings were 205,8 per cent
above the prewar period.
$4,000 Employed.
There are approximately Is. .400. 900
persons employed In manufacturing
jobs, Mr.. Clague reported.
The BIS director predicted that
the record total of $4,000. 900 jobs
of all kinds reported by the Census
Bureau last week probably will con-
tinue through September at least,
He said the new Rent Control Act
permitting landlords and tenants
to agree on advances Of as much as
IS per cent under certain condi-
tions is bound to boost the cost
of living index.
If food prices also continue at
present highs-and wholesale prices
are on the way up again-the index
could well top the mid-March
peak, he indicated.
Squirt In Home Building.
In March the index stood at 1863,
compared with 100 in August, 1899.
1t dropped to 1853 in May.
The most spectacular develop
ment in employment, Mr.. Clague re-
porteds was an unseasonal squirt In
construction of new, permanent
homes.
Usually the peak is reached In
May, but Mr.. Clague said that about
$4,000 new dwellings were started
in June, an increase Of $500 over
the postwar record set in May this
wear. This was more new, perma-
nent houses than were started in
any month since the boom days Of
the l920s, he said.

Higher Commutation
Fares Recommended
On "A Lines in East
~ ths Assoe;oted Press

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner has recommended
that. the commission permit II ma
jor railroads In the East to in
crease their commuta ton fares Is
to Is per cent.
The recommendation was made
in a report to the commission yes
terdsy by Examiner Burton Fuller.
The commission has yet to act on
the matter.
Mr.. Fuller proposed that the car
riers be permitted to make the in
creases on communication and other
multiple tickets effective on five
days notice. The proposed increases
would affect every major metro
politan center in the East.
The railroads requested the fare
increases on the basis of higher op-
Grating costs as part Of proceed
ing in which they recently won
basic passenger fare increases of
10 per cent. The communication
fares were made a separate case
by the commission.
Mr.. Fuller generally recommended
about what the carriers asked.
On Service out Of Washington
and Philadelphia. Mr.. Fuller ap-
proved requests to apply fat in
creases of $3.50 to monthly fares
and IS cents to weekly fares.
The lines asking the changes are
