Labor Weuthers Year Of Curbs,
Wage Freeze and Unity Failure

quit in a huff in January. Via
the United Labor Policy Commit
tee, they complained against mo-
Ibilization policies generally and
IWSB policies particularly.
Administration leaders patched
up the quarrel. Unions won the
right for the WSB to recommend
settlement terms in certain labor
disputes. More union men were
placed in advisory positions in
mobilization agencies. Beyond
this, however, organized labor had
little success in injecting its ideas
in mobilization policies.
After the January freeze" on
wage increases, the WSB gradu-
ally lifted it. First, it allowed a
10 per cent boost from January,
1850, for unions to "catch up
with each other. Then, it al
lowed additional increases based
on changes. in living costs after
January, 1851. Thereafter, it sane
toned various types of fringe"
increases.
Legislation - Organized labor
failed to get most of things it
wanted from Congress. Union
leaders generally abandoned any
idea of trying to get the Taft
Hartley law repealed at one
swoop. They still complained
about the law, but apparently be-
came reconciled to trying to make
Ipiecemeal changes of parts of it.
Taft Law Changed.
That decision was followed by a
major change in the Taft law
when Congress approved the elimi-
nation of the laws requirement
that employees must approve in a
formal eIection before unions may
negotiate for the union shop
compulsory union membership
arrangement.
This same change in the Taft
law validated about 4,700 CIO
union contracts which had been
thrown into question by rulings
of the National Labor Relations
Board. The board finally re-
Iversed itself.
Observation-Disclosures pitched in
with industry and agriculture to
Iget the mobilization program
rolling. In big production CEN
tiers like Detroit, many workers
were thrown out of jobs as fac
tories converted to making NUM-
tionS and weapons.

Nation S 81 Food Bill
Was AII-Time Record ,
May Go Higher in 81
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Americans
spent more money for food in 1851
than ever before. And the food
bill seems likely to push even
higher in the coming year.
Our total expenditure for food,
including meals eaten at home, in
restaurants, hotels and hospitals,
in the armed forces and on farms,
is expected to add up to about $50
billion for the year just ending.
That's $3la billion more than in
1850.
Virtually all of this increase is
believed to reflect higher prices
rather than any notable increase
In the amount Of food consumed.
Prices at Record High.
Retail food prices had climbed
to record high near the close of
the year. The latest Government
figures available show the overall
price level across the country at
the end of November was about
81 per cent above last January.
Many important individual foods
rose much more than that, of
course. A few, like eggs, beef and
pork, have eaSed just recently,
but the declines have been out
weighed by seasonal advances in
other items like fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Economists of the Agriculture
Department don't look for any
big jump in food prices in the new
year, barring unusually bad crop
weather or other emergencies. But
they do foresee a slight uptrend
for the following reasons:
Heavier spending for defense
will mean more jobs, higher con-
Sumer incomes, more spending
money. At the same time, because
of sharper cutbacks in critical
materials, there will be fewer
durable goods like automobiles,
refrigerators, appliances. A lot
of this extra money is expected to
be channeled into food buying.
Per capita consumption may rise
as much as 3 per cent.
Population Growing.
In addition, the population is
growing. And the armed forces
are expected to need more food
in 1852.
Meat will be more plentiful,
especially beef and veal. Con-
sumption per person may exceed
144 pounds compared with 141
this year. The 1852 crop of
chickens, turkeys and eggs should
top even 1951's huge production.
Milk output won't go up much,
and lively demand probably will
result in slightly higher prices at
retail.

AUSTIN. Tex, Jan. 2.-Oil--
vital economic commodity in war
and peace-fiowed at record rates
in many parts of the world in
1851.
But in Iran, home of the worlds
largest refinery, daily supply of
100000 barrels of crude was
abruptly cut off in July.
That Iranian shutdown-result
of the decision to nationalize oil
despite England's opposition-was
the most important event in the
oil world in 1851.
What happens to Iranian oil
could well be the most important
event in the petroleum industry
in 1852.
Should Trans oil begin to flow
again at its former high rate,
American oilmen fear the world
might be flooded with cheap oil.
The only way to offset that pos
Sibility apparently would be to
curtail sharply other Mideast oil
production as well as that of the
United States. The troublesom
issue of how much oil to import
into the United States-a rela-
lively dormant issue since the
Iranian shutdoWn-Would be re-
|vived quickly.
There were numerous other de-
velopments of consequence both
for the present and the future, in
cluding:
l. Discovery and rapid develop :
Iment of the Is millionaire

the viewpoint of area. 1t promises
Ito hold an oil reserve of a billion
or more barrels.
Other important discoveries
were made in the Williston basin
in the Dakotas and Wyoming, and
also in Utah and Colorado.
2. Congressional reapproval of
the 2712 per cent oil depletion
allowance in Federal tax law fol-
lowing long study and exhaustive
hearings.

gress held at The Hague May 28-

An Inflated romance between
the Nations two biggest union or
Iganizations-the AFL and the
CIO-featured labor's year in
1851.
They combined forces, along
with major independent unions,
to form the United Labor Policy
Committee early in the year. The
idea was to get a stronger voice
by closing ranks.
| The committee had some initial
success, principally in getting the
Wage Sterilization Board re-
vamped more to the liking of Or
ganized labor. But Congress pretty
we'll ignored the committees ideas
for stricter price and rent con-
trolls and shifting the tax burden
So in late summer the AFL
withdrew and the United Labor
Policy Committee collapsed. The
AFL said the two organizations
would have to merge into one be-
fore there could be any more CO.
operation. Prospects for an early
labor unity faded when the CIO
baked at merger, saying it
feared being swallowed up by the
bigger AFL.
Wage-Price Freeze.
The busy labor year was marked
by the Wage-price freeze in Janu-
airy and gradual liberalizing of
controls as the year wore on.
Both wages and prices advanced
Steadily. Mobilization brought cuts
in consumer goods production
and consequent shifts in employ
ment But jobs were generally
plentiful.
Strikes came about as frequent
ly in 1851 as the year previously,
according to Government sta
tistics. However, idle time due to
strikes was only about half what
lit was in 1850. This was because
the WalkoutS were of generally
shorter duration and there were
no major industry-wid strikes,
such as in coal. steel or autos.
More than 2 million workers
got pay rate increases during the
year through the operation of
the contract "escalator" clauses
Iallowing wages to go up accord
ing to the rising living cost index.
These were some of the high
lights in labor's year:
