Material Said
fBottleneck'
I WASHINGTON, March 23-4P)
Declaring the nation's war pro
duction problem is not a lack of
manpower but the proper use of
available workers, the chief of
CIO's largest affiliate told the
senate military committee Tues
day that "large scale dismissals
are threatened because of mate
rials shortages" at many plants.
"The chief bottleneck to a
maximum war effort," said R. J.
Thomas, president of the United
Automobile, Aircraft and Agri
cultural Implement Workers of
America, "is still the lack of a
Rational production program
which provides for the smooth
flow of materials, the letting of
contracts, the maximum use of
machinery and manpower."
"All over the country there
have been under-utilization of la
bor and slowdowns created by
materials shortages," he said, and
jmany workers in vital war pro
iduction are working only four
jdr five days a week. He contend
ed "very few plants" are working
full shifts although many indi
viduals are working more than
170 hours a week with "resultant
increases in accidents, illness and
j absenteeism."
j Thomas said the Austin-Wads-worth
national service legislation
would antagonize workers rather
than help solve production prob
lems.

to break up homes and bring inse

Here on an official visit from
her California home, Mrs. Mathe

Oregon Employers
Protest Raised
Cannery Wages
EUGENE, March 23-P)-The
Associated Employers of Oregon
announced Tuesday opposition to
the state wage-hour commission's
recent order for a 7u-cent hourly
minimum wage for women can
nery workers this summer.
Dan Hay, the employers' execu
tive manager, said a protest would
be filed with the war labor board
on grounds that the cannery rate
exceeds the "Little Steel" wage
formula used as a yardstick by
WLB since September 15,1842.
Hay said also the employer
hold; that the commission's wage
boost must be approved by WLB.
But State Labor Commissioner
W. E. Kimsey, Hay "d, had de
clared action of the state commis
sion idoes not require WLB appro
val. P v
' rhe action of the state com
mission setting a minimum can
nery wage of 70 cents la a viola
tion' of the spirit of the Inflation
act and the wage stabilization
law,? Hay charged. .
The Increase from 52 cent
an hour to 70 cents is out of pro
portion and beyond the ability of
other employers who hire women
to meet this wage when 'their
ceiling prices are frozen as of
March, 1942."

But. this tone my eye was really

By adroit questioning of the

WPB Ready,
Canning Rush
WASHINGTON, March 23-(JPy-
The government is ready for a
rush by housewives to get home
canning equipment.
An all-time record home can
ning season is expected because
of food rationing and the victory
garden program, but the war pro
duction board reported Tuesday
its belief that it has provided
enough jars, lids, and rubber rings
to meet demands.
There "won't be ,as many pres
sure cookers as housewives want,
WPB said, although steps have
been taken to permit the produc
tion of 150,000 cookers, twice as
many as last year.
WPB has released enough met
al to permit manufacture of al
most all types of lids, jar rings,
and other closures. More than
3,000,000,000 new ones will be
turned out, and these will supple
ment an estimated two billion old
covers which are fit for reuse.
