istration efforts to strip from the
Senate-passed bill provision
tying wage-price controls tightly
together.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
Of Alabama, predicted the con-
ference group would abandon the
wage-price provision contained in
the Senate bill and adopt that
approved by the House. Senator
Sparkman is a member of the
conference group.
On the other hand, Senator
Bricker, Republican, of Ohio said
there would be terrific squab-

scrapped.
The bill approved by the Senate
Monday night, IS to 8, contains
an amendment sponsored by SEN
ator Wherry of Nebraska, the Re-
publican floor leader, and Sena-
tor Bricker requiring the President
to impose wage and price controls
simultaneously and virtually across
the board If they are invoked at
all.
The House version, adopted Au-
gust 10 by 383 to IL, would give
the President more discretion in
imposing such controls and would
allow him to invoke them on a
selectiye basis.

While most of these powers are

tration has expected to assign
some of them to other agencies.
The Commerce Department,
meanwhile. pushed its preparation
for handling the ALLEGATION work
and has selected William Henry
Harrison, president of the Inter-
national Telephone and Tele-
graph Co., to direct the undertak-
ing. The proposed agency tenta-
lively has been designated the Ma
tional Production Authority.
Mr.. Harrison served as a direc-
tor of the War Production Board
in World War II and later, as a
major general, was in charge of
the purchasing division of the
Army's Signal Corps.
Formal announcement of his
appointment, it was said, was

that amendment. Without it he

British Trades
Congress Presses
Pay Freeze Policy

London (LPA) - The British
Trades Union Congress has sent
report to its 100-odd affiliated
unions recommending the latter
freeze wages in line with govern
ment policy unless the cost of liv-
ing rises more than six points in
the coming year.
The report was drafted by the
General Council of the Congress
and formalzed the recommended
tions announced late in November.
The Council justified it's findings
on the grounds that Britain's pre-
sent economic plight offered ''no
alternative" Officials of the mem
Der unions will meet Jan. II in
London to act on the Councils pro-
posals. The freeze" is opposed by
about half the TUGS 100000
members.
The Council voiced it's proposals
with obvious reluctance, and made
clear it was not intended that Bri-
tain's trade unions bear all the
burdens resulting from devaluation
Of the pound. The proposals urged
the Labor government to take
stronger hand with industries earn
ing exceptionally high profits"
When the pound was devalued in
September, Sir Stafford Cripps,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, asked
that there be an increase of 25 or
80 percent in the distributed pro-
fits tax, proposition subsequently
adopted.
The TUG Council applauded this
policy, but observed that motor
magnates, among others, were
making large profits, and that in
some industries profits would in
crease as a result of devaluation.
The Council declared recommenda-
tions would be forwarded to the
Chancellor Of the Exchequer be-
fore he announced his budget in
April.
The wage freeze policy was
adopted by the government in an
effort to head off inflationary
spirals generated by devaluation.

Strike Threat
coercive Labor
Board Rules

Washington (LPA)-You violate
the Taft-Hartley act if you threat
en- to strike to force an individual
employe to engage in union acti-
vity, the Natl Labor Relations
Board ruled in a California case
involving Cannery Warehousemen,
Food Professors, Drivers & Help
ers Union, Local 679.
At the same time, the Clara-Val
Packing Co. of Morgan Hill, Calf,
violated the act, the board conclud-
ed, by discharging the employe
under a closed shop contract. The
company was ordered to reinstate
the discharged worker, a woman
named Nora E. Stiers, and in addi-
ton, the company and the union
were held jointly and severally res
ponsible for any wages lost.
The union was also found guilty
of violating the act by encourage
ing membership through discrim-
mating against employees, and by
trying to obtain company aid in
such discrimination through the
threat of a strike.
The majority opinion of the
board was signed by Chairman Paul
Herzog and members John NJ.
Houston and j. Copeland Gray.
James J. Reynolds, not often found
on the union side, said that he did
not agree that the threat of
strike constituted illegal coercion.
However, he was in accord with
his colleagues on the other points.
The dispute arose in June, 1948.
Until then, Miss Stiers, a Clara
Val employe, was in good standing
in the union. However, she was
spotted working after hours at a
plant around which the union was
maintaining a picket line. After a
trial, the union let her off with a
light fine provided she did not
violate union rules in the future.
When she not only failed to pay
the fine but continued to cross the
picketline, she was expelled from
the union. A business agent then
told Clara-Val that unless Miss
Stiers was discharged, the union
would picket the plant. Clara-Val
complied with the union demand.

Corporate Profits
Near 1913 Record

Washington (LPA)-A report on
manufacturing profits for the third
quarter of 1949, from the Federal
Trade and the Securities and Ex-
Ichange Commissions, suggests that
corporation profits this year will
run not far behind the record
breaking total of 194S.
The Commissions reported that
in the third quarter, as result of
a relatively small increase in
volume, manufacturing prof 5
after taxes zoomed up Is per cent
over the second quarter, or from
81 billion to s2.3 billion. They still
were 20 per cent below the third
quarter of last year, an exception
ally high profit period.
Smaller corporations : h ow d
greater profit increases than big,
in line with the greater fluctua-
tions usually shown by the small
companies both on downswings and
upswings. Biggest gains were
among manufacturers of miscellan-
eous products, leather and leather
products, apparel and finished tex
tiles and fabricated metal pro-
ducts, all of which showed gains of
90 per cent or more.
Profits after taxes, based on
stockholders investments, ranged
from 27.2 per cent for auto COM
panies to Sc per cent for primary
non-ferrous metal companies which
traditionally show low profit on
invested capital. The percentage
for manufacturing as a whole was
IL per cent as compared with 10.4
per cent in the second quarter. The
percentage for big companies aver
aged 1876 per cent, for smaller
ones S.4 per cent. Profits per dol
lar of sales rose from 5.2 cents on
the dollar to 6. cents, ranging
from 2.3 for smaller companies to
7.6 for. the bigger ones.
