There Whg considerable surprise
here over the War Labor Board's
tifta! decision npt to make any rec-
ommendatiOns regarding the Little
Steel formula. Although the War
Labor Board wS* not set up to be a
policy making group, it is difficult
to understand why they listened to
thousands of words of testimony on
this quesuba if .they didn’t intend to
make suggestion's. But when the
long>awaited decision was finally
made it consisted simply of a rese

the Allies actually to operate these

these industries, the plan also calls
for control over toe distribution of
Important metals so that the Allies
i would permit their use only when
they approved the purpose for which
. they were to be used.
Of course this is only one of doz

formed as to toe possible effects of

formula on the price structure
on the national economy genera bv
to warrant any assurance that any
modification could be made cons s-
tent with the stabilization needs of
the country.”
As a result of this resolution, the
Board has passed the buck to the
President. The President has the
power to break the Little Steel for
mula, and approve higher wages,
but it is doubtful if he will give it
any further consideration until aft
er election. It is also not clear, at
present, what tactics labor will now
take in working for increased wages.
The labor members of the War La
bor Board strongly opposed the res
olution which the Board passed,
but were over-ruled. It is now prob
able that labor leaders will put pres
sure on the President to increase
the wage scale and will thereafter
not bother with the WLB in seeking
increases.

Give To The War
Fund Drive Now
The War Futid Drive for $2,600
is now on in McCormick County.
That sounds so little to ask for,
when we stop to think of all that
is being asked of Our fighting men
and women. It is a little, but
wo haven’t come near to raising
it yet!
We need to stop and think!
And when we think we will thank
God - _ for the privilege of shar
ing in the war relief effort _ _ and
we’ll give cheerfully—not a mere
pittance, in comparison with our
income, but a gift we won’t be
ashamed of. Please don’t wait for
a solicitor to come to you. Carry
your gifts now to one of the com
