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."

army post at Fort Glenn about
70 miles west of Dutch Harbor
on the island of Umnak.
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.

munique disclosed today, "at

At Voroneih, Russian dilutees

But the Germans apparently
were still clinging to positions at
the west sldo of the city. And
the danger to the city from the

at the confluence of the Don

lessened.
