British Unions
Demand Pay Up
LONDON, Feb. 11 Thirty
seven trade unions, defying the labor
governor's wage freexing policy,
voted today to demand higher pay
for 3.000.000 members.
The Confederation of Shipbuild
ing and Engineering Unions agreed
in a meeting at Newcastle to press
for Increases averaging about 14
shillings i$2.80i a week.
The government, fearful of going
broke within six months, fought to
get trade union backing for Its pro
gram to freeze both wages and
profits. The program is on a volun
tary basis.
Prime Minister Attlee, who pro
posed voluntary freezing of some
wages and profits last week, faced
rebellion by 20 labor members of
parliament and some trade unions.
They oppose his program. He plan
ned to meet late today with leaders
of the Trades Union congress. The
congress is composed of eight mil
lion members, the backbone of the
labor party.
Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor of
the exchequer, said yesterday there
is a dangerous gap between Britain's
export income and Import expense.
If it keeps up. Britain's monetary
reserves will last only six months,
he said.
