ORDERS FREEZE | =

IN TWO AREAS|

« /. Seeks to Prevent Workers From Changing Jobs; Conference Set.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U. P.) — ‘The war manpower commission, acting to “freeze” workers in western and southwest lumbering and non-ferrous metal industries, today set up a formula which may be applied to other labor shortage areas if found successful.

. The order provides that workers in the two industries—already lag-|

ging in production because of labor

shifts—may not seek jobs elsewhere without first obtaining “certificates|

of separation” from the U. S. employment service.

Names ‘Critical Areas’

Manpower ‘Commissioner Paul V. McNutt designated as “critical labor areas” the states of Arizona, ‘Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and Texas. ‘The approximately 200,000 workers affected are engaged in logging and lumbering, and in the’ mining, smelting, milling and refining of non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, lead, mercury, manganese, tungsten and molybdenum.

May Extend Order

A hint that the order may be an experiment for possible extension to other industries was contained in Mr. McNutt’s announcement that a meeting of labor and management representatives will be called three months from today. ' The conference, he said, would recommend ‘such modifications or alterations as may be required.” He emphasized that the order will not interfere with union activities or collective bargaining agreements. The order does not prohibit men from moving from job to job within the same plant.

BRITAIN GUARDING DWINDLING RUBBER

LONDON, Sept. 8 (U. P.).—Any person who wastes substantial amounts of scrap rubber—or even throws away a hot water bottle or his old rubber overshoes—is liable to a prison term up to two years and a fine ranging from $400 to $2000 under a law effective today.. The new stringent megsure reflects a shortage of rubber which trade sources. agreed was one of Britain's most serious war problems. Critics of the government's handling of the rubber situation, however, said the law came too late. They pointed out it came six months after Japan had cornered 90 per cent of the world’s rubber and two weeks after the announcement that American synthetic rubber facilities were inadequate to cover both Britain’s and the United States’ needs. The government in recent months was criticized for leaving the matter of supplies largely in the hands of rubber plantation and tire manufacturing interests who have been charged with reluctance or delay in developing facilities to produce synthetic rubber or reclaim used rub-

BUY NOW IS DEALERS’ PLEA

Coal Shortage Is Feared Because of Lack of Transportation.

. Indianapolis coal merchants have done everything but knock at your dooss. ; The message they've been carrying is: “Buy Your Coal Now.” There's been some response—coal sales have been up 30 per cent— but not enough. And now, you ton-at-a-time-and-when-you-feel-like-it buyers, here's how you: stand: Coal merchants have an average supply of about 34 days in their yards. There's plenty of coal in the ‘|country but the transportation situation is serious.

Other Supplies Dwindle

Already the West Virginia and eastern Kentucky coals are hard to get—the government is using a lot of the coal cars for other materials. Indianapolis burns about '1,000,000 tons of coal a year. A little over 127,000 tons is Pocahontas and New River, high priced coals. ‘About 500,000 tons are West Virgina and Eastern Kentucky, also bettergrade. coals. These are the varieties which may be impossible to get shortly. In other words, your coal. of this type in. or ordered, it may not be long before you can’t get it at all.

Zoning Order Likely

During the last war, coal was zoned—Indiana buyers had to use

ly. Coal dealers won’t be surprised

again this winter. And then there's another factor— The labor problem in the coal yards is acute. ‘Harry Rogers, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Coal Merchants association, said for the first time many coal merchants are having to go out and look for €oal unloaders and haulers. And a lot of them can’t find help. Mr. Rogers points out that there'll be coal -available. all winter, but you can’t be choosey and: you may have have to wait and wait for delivery later on. He said you may be driving up to|y the coal yards in your Cadillacs or|& pushing baby carriages, getling it a bushel at a time. . And that’s no foolin’.

STEEL PLATE OUTPUT DIPS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U. P.). —The iron and steel branch of WPB today reported that August steel plate ‘shipments . failed to: set a new monthly record forthe first time since October, 1941. : The drop was caused by a flood at the Lukens Steel Co. which curtailed its production Sues the month, the WPB explained.’

Indians industrial employment increased by more than 13,000 workers from mid-July to mid-August due to increased activity in the durable goods group of manufacturing industry and: the seasonal upturn in the food group, the state employment security devision reported today. Accompanying the pains. was an increase of ‘more than $800,000 in weekly payrolls, Col. Everett L. Gardner, division director, revealed. Col. Gardner declared that the outlook® for war production ‘in Indiana was encouraging, according to the analysis, and he pointed out that consistent gains were registered in all groups of manufacturing indpstry related to the war effort. ‘The estimates were based on employment and payroll reports vol-

‘By JOHN W. LOVE ‘Times Special Writer

CLEVELAND, Sept. 8. — Months ago our: government knew there would be a scarcity of meat in 1943. But the rationing cards have_not been printed nor the ra-

e four months. .., .. : The circumstances which have been postponing rationing, and which now require the government to ‘turn’ temporarily to voluntary meatless’ days, are not concerned with the supply and demand for meat. The supply and demand were pretty well guessed at last spring. The .interval has been taken up with the argument over whether price ceilings should be placed on live stock, Secretary of Agriculture Wickard changing his mind in favor of ceilings a week or so ago. We have seen the government's price controls fail as to meat. A number of small packers and wholesalers have been closed by - the squeeze. | But all this had little directly to do with’ the supply of meat. The governrhent had the means at hand

politics of the situation. What made certain the shortage of meat in 1943 was the demands of the industrial population of this

country, the needs of the British |

(which were known), the incrensing shortage of shipping, and the need for maintaining large forges of our troops abroad. No material fart has changed in the last couple or three months, except that the partial program of price control® which might have kept us complacent a little longer has been failing. ; The meatless days of the last war are about to return, but in a somewhat different cetting. In 1918 we were helping to feed not only England but France and Italy, und had some 2,000,000 soldiers m1 France. ‘The allies were able to draw on the’ Argentine snd Australia, - though if the war had lasted into 1919 the shortage of ships would have been as serious as it is today. The Germans had been figuring on our having a hard time supporting our army in France. Today shipping rcutes are being shortened and the United States becomes the chief source of British meat supplies. By dehydrating meat we shall be able to supply the British people and cur own forces on a smaller tonnage of ships, and

Du Pont’s Vice President Says World of 1940 Now an Antiquity.

BUFFALO, Sept. 8 (U.

Stine, vice president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., said today at the opening session of the American Chemical Society convention. “The = developments are unprecedented. Give us a victorious peace and the freedom of enterprise it should guarantee and our progress will be unprecedented,” he said.
