2 PRICE BILLS ARE COMPARED

Measure: Passed in Senate ‘Differs From Original = + House Version.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 U. P.)— Here are the highlights of the antiinflation bill passed by the senate late yesterday, compared with the original house version of the. legislation: - STABILIZATION ORDER

President Roosevelt is directed to issiie by Nov. 1 an order stabilizing wages, salaries and prices “so far as practicable” at Sept. 15 levels. This is not a permanent “freeze,” since the president is authorized to make subsequent adjustments in wage or price maximums—either up or down—in order to correct “gross inequities” or “to aid in the effective prosecution of the war.”

house last week makes no provision for a general stabilzation order, and directs the president to stabilize

in effect Aug. 15, instead of Sept. 15. FARM PRICES No price ceiling may be established on any farm product at less than 100 per cent of parity, or at a level lower than the highest market

price reached between Jam. 1 and Sept. 15 of this year, which ever is Thig prohibition also" applies to commodities processed “in whole or in substantial part” from farm products. The president is directed to “modify” farm price ceilings—in| other words, raise them—if necessary.to increase production for war purposes, or if the maximum price does not reflect the increase in farm wages since Jan. 1, 1941. Farm labor costs also must be giver “ade=

from farm commodities.

ent parity basis to include all farm labor costs—the farmer, his family and hired hands—and permits. establishment of farm price ceilings at 100 per cent of the new parity level.) The commodity credit corporation is directed to make loans on the six basic commodities — cotton, corn, wheat, rice, tobacco and peanuts— at 90 per cent of parity instead of at 85 per cent as under present law, thus putting a higher floor under the prices of these commodities.

WAGES AND SALARIES

The president is prohibited from doing anything with respect to wages. or salaries whicH is inconsistent with the fair labor standards act (wage-hour law) or the national labor relations act (Wagner act), and he may not cut wages or salaries below the highest level reached between Jan. 1 and Sept. 15 of this year except “to correct gross inequities.” (The house bill incorporates the so-called little steel formula which prohibits the freezing of wages which have. not risen 15 per cent since Jan. 1, 1941, a rise considered sufficient to compensate for the increase in living costs during the same period.) : Violators of any presidential wage or salary regulations would be subject to a $1000 fine. Lg

OPA LIMITS PRICES ON DRESSED GATTLE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (U. PJ). —The office of price administration, acting “to check the rapidly rising cost of live cattle,” today limited the top prices which beef slaughterers and wholesalers may charge for dress products. hs The order applies to packers and sellers who have “unduly” high in-

o

‘dividual ceilings, and limits the

top price for choice or grade AA steers and heifers to 23 cents a pound. Those with lower ceiling prices, however, will not be permitted to raise them to the new level. The OPA said only a “small percentage” of sellers had “abornmally prices on other grades were: Steers and heifers grade A, 21%; B, 20; C, 18%; grade A cows, 19%; B, 181%; 2/C, 1714; cutters and canners, 16%.

MEXICO IS SENDING MORE BEER TO U. 3.

MONTERREY, Mexico (U, P.).— Mexico's largest brewery is turning out beer at such an increased rate —more than 2,000,000 bottles every 24 hours—that visitors are no longer admitted. There's so much new machinery it's too dangerous. A big percentage of this beer is going to the United States, for the 52-year-old (Cuauhtemoc brewery is the largest exporter of the amber liquid in the world. Felix Cardenas.

BASIC MAGNESIUM IS REPORTED SOLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (U. P.). —Senator Berkeley L. Bunker (D. Nev.), said today he had learned reliably that the Anaconda Copper Co. had acquired Basic Magnesium, Inc., which operates a plant at Las Vegas, Nev, for $75,000,000. The transaction, Senator Bunker said, gives Anaconda copper the corporation “lock stock and barrel.” “The government can consider itself lucky to get out of this thing,” he said. “I also understand Basic Magnesium is to receive $1,000,000 from the Defense Plants Corp. ' I see no reason for this, in view of the bungling job Basic Magnesium did in its year’s opera~ tion. . The job was bungled, because if it hadn’t been, Basic Magnesium would not have sold out as they have.”

Eimer Davis Says Small Business Is Confused, Reluctant to Change.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (U, P.),—~ The little business man was pore trayed to congress today as a bee wildered individual, reluctant te give up civilian trade for war proe duction, who in his wartime confue

|sion prefers to “let the other fellow

do it.” "That portrait was painted by Ele mer Davis, director of ‘the office of war information, before the special senate committee studying the problems of little enterprises. His testimony was based on informa« tion obtained from federal experts and interviews with ' 800 business association leaders in 31 areas. From that evidence, Mr. Davis deduced: g The government, is partly respone sible for the co! n among small business men. Many are bewilde ered by the complexity and appare ent contraditions’ of federal price fixing, rationing and other regulations. : Small business men are ready to make their share of sacrifices bug are critical of government methods in ordering these sacrifices. "Casualties among little entere prises will increase in the forthe

: coming year as more small retaile

ers are affected by shortages. The 8000 trade associations and 2500 chambers of commerce seldom agree in their representations for small business even though they claim, in a variety of ways, to spealt for it.

Favor Price Control Most small operators favor price

t.|control and few question its need,

Nearly all are convinced that wages and farm prices should be stabilized, Mr, Davis said the retailer; as well as the small manufacturer, is

inventories bewilders them. He told how three grocers, according to & federal consultant in St, Louis, solved their problem: “They had never kept records and the prospect of having to start as this late date and keep it up ine definitely was so appalling thaj

g|they closed their doors and found : employment elsewhere.” /

The government has not done a good job of informing many little business men in small lochlities just what is expected of them in the
