H. Goldstein, a Philadelphia Sion Foner" lawyer, on whether the war labor board has a statutory right to prescribe a “maintenance membership” plan for the union at Kearny. Mr. Miller cited laws and executive orders in a manner indicating that the war labor board can do nothing ov Chon more than recommend—and that!Dresser Mfg there is no court review provided |>" Font for its recommendations. Attack Administration This argument dovetailed into Baton Mtg. assertions by other critics of the|E administration that ‘what this country needs is a war labor policy to be enacted by congress.” The Kearny case, involving a subsidiary of U. S. Steel, hits into the center of the argument over how strongly unions should improve their positions during the war. The Kearny shipyards refused last fall to accept a “maintenance of membership” decision from the old national defense mediation board. U. 8. Steel turned the property over to the government, and recently it was turned back by the navy department. The present proceeding grows from the complications of those maneuvers. Ge The national war labor board has affirmed its belief it is competent to set up such a policy, while certain members of congress are expected to object because the board has no statutory base but was set up by an executive order of the president.

WAR CARAVAN SEEKING ORDERS
Trailer Full of Parts for Armed Forces Starts Tour of State.
Small screws, medium sized bolts, large gears and hundreds of other parts that go towards equipping an sjarmy—that’s what the war production board wants from small manufacturers. To bring the exact plans and specifications of these parts directly to the manufacturer the WPB has outfitted a two-truck-caravan, with the exact part on display, which will spend the next month in Indiana. This caravan opens its show of war parts to be made tomorrow in Columbus. More than 500 parts are on display in the two trucks. Little pieces like a brass screw which any one of a dozen Indiana manufacturers can turn out are tacked to the walls of the vans. Representatives of the WPB, J. R. Schmidgall, Edwin A. Roseberry, Patrick Dimmitt, all of Washington, travel with the caravan and talk to the manufacturers in each town.
How to Get Work
It works this way: A manufacturer sees a part on the wall which he knows his firm can manufacture. The WPB representatives supply him with blue prints and tell him just which prime contractor is in need of the part. The manufacturer and the prime contractor get together and
0 negotiate a contract for the part
and the manufacturer goes into war production. It’s as easy as that but the WPB realizes that many Indiana manufacturers, who were making furniture, or stoves, or peace-time hardware are unfamiliar with the war needs and the ways of obtaining war contracts. The caravan explains all. Some Are Big
Not all parts are simple, however. Large gears are needed and a part of a bombers landing gear. There are parts for machine guns, parts for tanks, parts for big guns—= equipment urgently needed by the men in Bataan and Australia, and Burma and Russia. The WFPB caravan does not ne= gotiate any contracts. It merely gives the manufacturer, small and large, an idea of what he can make. The WPB men will explain how small shop owners can pool their facilities to handle big jobs. They are touring Indiana to speed peacetime industry into war production. May 1 and 2 the caravan will be here to wind up its tour.

GRAIN PRICES TAKE CUE FROM GORN PIT
CHICAGO, March 31 (U. PJ). Taking their cues from the firm tone in the corn pit, grain futures gained fractionally in early dealings on the board of trade today. At the end of the first hour, wheat was off % to up % cent a bushel: corn was up 4 to 5%, oats up 4 to !4; rve unchanged to up 35: and soybeans up 4 to 5. Shipping demand for corn was good overnight with local shippers reporting the sale of 110,000 bushels. Purchases of to-arrive corn totaled 70,000 bushels. Industrial consumption plus a favorable corn= hog ratio appeared to support corn futures. Commercial users of the grain were reported stocking supplies ahead.

“How to Make Your Clothes
Pay to Jobless Still Increasing
Unemployment compensation payments in Marion county during February were greater than January and nearly double those of February last year, Col. Everett L. Gardener, Indiana employment securitl division director, said workers in this county received $160,214 last month, compared with $155,829 in January and $88,991 in February, 1041. For the state as a whole, unemployment compensation in the month amounted to $1,558,887, an increase of $200,000 over January and two and one-half times the February, 1941, total. One dollar out of every five paid out in February went to former automobile and automobile parts factory workers, Twen-ty-seven per cent of the checks were mailed to claimants from the construction industry who during the summer and fall helped build the huge munitions
plants now operating in the state.

discolors wool fibre.
