and then raised their employees
after the national wage pattern
had been set in steel, auto and

view on the condition that the

Recommendations Listed.
The board made several recon-
mendations for legislation, includ-
ing:
/. Extension of its jurisdiction to
contract air carriers (these are oper-
ators who work only on contract to
shipper and do not offer their
services. generally to the public.)
2. Authorizing the board to revoke

3. Giving the board jurisdiction
over fares and charges of airlines
flying international routes.
4. Avoid any step which would
diminish the Presidents authority
in, connection with granting inter-
national air routes.
S. Giving the board full jurisdic-
ton over airline financing.
6. Retaining for the Federal Gov
ernment the right to tax aviation
fuel. :
Replies to Charges.
