Pearl backs up his c harge by citing a joint AFL and CIO report that living costs soared 43 percent In 1941. while the little steel form ula allowed wage inc reasew only up to 15 percent. As (he labor spokesman says. "The thing really conducive t strikes Is the state of mind of a worker who finds he has I<m* left after a 49-hour week than he did a'ter a 40-hour week." Till* latest protest coines as AFL member* of the war labor board await board action on their petition t abandon the little steel formula. o Walter Gard Is Now Agent At Louisville Friend* here have received word that Walter Gard, former Pennsylvania railroad agent in thia city, has been named agent for the railroad at Louisville.
