!AOB TWO July-IT. 194 BROAD WAGE STABILIZATION (Continued from Page One) in(, "granted union iccurity , through maintenance of mem' , bershlp clause combined with a . checkoff (collection) of union duel by the companies. Writing the principal board decision on wages, Dr. George t W. Taylor aaid the members had paid heed to President Rooso velt's anti-inflation program and the board has determined that the following guiding principles should be applied in evaluating elalms for wage Increases: "1. for the period from Jan uary L 1941, to May, 1942, which followed a long period of relative stability, the cost of liv ing increased by about 15 per cent. If any group of workers averaged less than a 15 per cent Increase in hourly wage rates during or Immediately preced ing i or following this period, their- established peacetimt standards have been broken. If any group of workers averaged a 15 per cent wage increase or more, their established peacetime standards have been preserved. "2. Any claim for wage ad justments for the group whose peacetime standards have been preserved can only be considered In terms of the inequalities of the substandard conditions spec ftclally referred to In the presi dent's message of April 27, 1942. "3. Those groups whose peace time standards have been broken are entitled to have these stand ards reestablished as a stabiliza tion factor. . .. "Due Consideration" "4. The board, as directed by the president in his April 27 message, will continue to 'give due consideration to inequalities and the elimination of substand ard of living.'" "5. Approximately 30 wage disputes, still pending before the board, were certified prior to the stabilization date of April 17. The question arises in these eases whether wage rates being Mid on April 21. 1942, ,esn or cannot be considered as 'exist ing rates' within the meaning . of -the president's message, or whether they- then . had the : tentative character of disputed . rates. Due regard must be given - to any factors or equity which would be arbitrarily swept away ! by 'a change of rules in the : middle of the game.' 'The guiding principles out- - lined above insure, In general, that-claims for wage rate ad justment can be considered on an equitable basis and in a manner which will further the national purpose to stabilize the eoet of living." Token Adjustment The four labor members said 1 the majority deliberated "with : fixed intention" to make only a token wage adjustment. Philip Murray, president of the CIO and of the United Steel Workers, declined comment pending the meeting of the unions policy committee In Pittsburgh today but the execu tive committee of five locals at Bethlhem, Pa., expressed disap proval and said the situation in that steel center was "tense and v explosive." $50 Fine Handed Out For Assault Offense - Bob Harwnnri.

The old station ship North western was lost in the attack on Dutch Harbor early last month when it was hit by bombs and burned and some damage, although of a minor nature, was done to American shore instal lations. In addition to the 44 army and navy dead, there were 49 army and navy personnel injured and one civilian killed so far, the announcement said. No Chang The navy's review of -the sit uation in the Aleutians said that "there has been no material change in the general situation" since July 11. Several new biis of informa tion were added to what pre viously had been, announced. These included: ' That "the force which attacked the Aleutians on June 3, the day before the Japanese attack on Midway in the Hawaiian group, consisted approximately of two small carriers, two seaplane tenders, several cruisers and de stroyers and from four to six transports. At the time of the Dutch Har bor attack three United States destroyers, an army transport, a mine sweeper and a coast guard cutter were in the harbor in addition to the Northwestern, which had been beached and was used as barracks for con tractors' personnel. Second Time On June 4, the same day the American planes counter at tacker, the enemy's carrier based bombers and 16 fighters attacked Dutch Harbor and Fort Mears for the second time and simultaneously assaulted the army post, Fort Glenn, where nine enemy fighters strafed shore Installations. Two of the fight ers were shot down and the other seven withdrew "without inflicting damage." On June 12, enemy ships were observed at both Attu and Kiska, islands at the tip of the Aleutian chain, and about 20 tents and temporary structures were observed on the shore at Kiska. Meanwhile, numerous air at tacks had been made on enemy shipping and these were contin ued in subsequent days. Then on July 6 the army planes dropped 56 bombs on the enemy's Kiska installations but the navy did not relate what results ' were obtained, if they were observed at all. The review summarized the enemy's losses as three destroy ers and one transport sunk and four cruisers, three destroyers, one gunboat and one transport damaged. This summary did not include a report informally made several weeks ago by Lieutenant General Henry H. Arnold of the army air forces that an aircraft carrier had been damaged and a cruiser sunk. Counting both the navy and army reports, the toll of Jap anese ships in tho area now stands at nine damaged, one be lieved sunk and five sunk. In addition, the navy com munique disclosed today, "at WARD'S UUi BLANKET SALE Now in Navy Patrol Boat Runs Ashore in Fog sr least seven enemy aircraft have been destroyed and our pilots' reports indicate damage and possible destruction of several other "A number of our aircraft have been lost," said the com munique which declared also that "operations against the enemy in this area continued Details of damage at Dutch Harbor and Fort Mears, Un- aiasna island, were given for the first time and showed that ln addUion to the burning of the Northwestern, a warehouse and a few fuel oil tanks were hit and set afire and one empty aircraft hangar was hit.
