Butter suDolies remained critically

were extremely firm for all products.
Creamery butter production was 27

and snow delayed deliveries of cream in

heavy grain marketings at near celling

The Portland trade area received some
barley from southern Idaho the past
week, but too little to relieve the short

The truth about "take-home"
The demand of UAW-CIO leaders for a wage
increase to "maintain wartime take-home"
assumes that the wartime work week 'averaged
48 hours.
That it not true. In General Motors workers
averaged 45.6 hours work a week. For industry
as a whole the average was a little less.
The demand of UAW-CIO leaders also assumes
that the postwar work week will be 40 hours.
General Motors expects to work 45 to 48 hours
for a considerable period of time in order to pro
duce enough goods to relieve shortages created
during the war. Employes will be paid at the
rat of time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40.
General Motors answered the JUAW demand
for a 30 jump in present rates with the offer
of a wage increase that would have averaged
13V cents an hour. This would have made the
average wage . increase ince January 1941 at
least equal to the increase in the cost of living.
A GM worker who earned $56.93 for a 45.6-hour
week during the war would have received $63.44,
under the GM postwar offer, for working the
same number of hours.
This offer, aimed to increase wartime take-home
pay by at least 10, was rejected by UAW
leaders.

Turkey breeders generally do

arising from difficult mating.
