WAS VOLUNTARY
Employers” and and Workers Helped Draw Plan; May
Be Used Elsewhere.
WASHINC(: TON, Dec. 11 (U. P.).— The war m:iipéwer commission today pointec out that its so-called freezing of war workers in the Detroit area vas a voluntary plan worked out jointly with employers and worker: “It 1s not 2 compulsory order by
‘the governn«nt,” said Deputy WMC |} Chairmdn Fowler V. Harper, for-|;
merly dean o! the Indiana university law school. ‘It involves the voluntary co-oper: tion of labor, management, and tl ¢ general public just as does the plan institued in Baltimore last spring.” In this re:pect, Harper explained that the De roit action differs from a real freeing order sought by maritime er:ployers and unions to keep experic: ced seamen on ships.
Maritir.2 Order Pending
The maritime order has been discussed by WMC and war shipping administratini officials and will be considered tocay by the WMC labormanagement :dvisory committee. It will be reporied back to the next commission 11ceting on Wednesday, after which =n order freezing some 110,000 merc) nt seamen within the shipping industry may be expected “any time,” i! was indicated. Present plans do not call for forcing seamen fo stay in the same job on the same ship throughout the ar. They would be free to change employers at the end of each voy“age. However, they could not leave the industry or be drafted during rest periods o’ shore leave between trips. Policy io Be Followed
Observers Dpelieve that future WMC action on the manpower problem will e more along the vouluntary lines of the Detroit and Baltimore plans than the proposed freeze of seamen. In any event the approval o: oth management and labor groups would be sought. . Employers in the Detroit area have agreed not to hire or solicit workers fror other essential industries unless the applicant presents a certificate of release from his former rmployer or from the review unit of the U. S. employment service. Bot! workers and employers may appeal any decision to the district war raanpower committee for final action.

TIN GAN PICKUP TO LAST 4 DAYS
It’s Monday, Tuesday on N. Side; Wednesday, . Thursday on S. Side.
City officials annpunced today that the tin can collection next week will be spread over four days instead of the usual two because of a shortage of help and the likelihood of trucks being slowed by slippery streets, The city street department will assign 35 pickup trucks to the section north of 16th st. Monday and Tuesday. They will cover everything
Thursday. Children attending township
schools are being asked to take processed tin cans to their schools Thursday. The city trucks will collect these probably Friday and Saturday.
Press Cans Flat
Officials made two requests of householders: First, press the cans as flat as the weight of the body will flatten them, but don’t hammer them. Second, place them at the curb in cardboard boxes instead of paper sacks because the sacks break open 'in damp weather and let the cans spill into the gutter. An unusually heavy collection is expected this month because of Mayor Sullivan’s announcement that the trash collection trucks will not pick up trash containing tin cans,
expected to live. Luke was held on An open charge, ;

Tin Is Important
Officials of the local tin salvage program emphasize the importance of tin ih the war effort. Usual supplies of tin have fallen into enemy hands, making it necessary to fail back on citizens for their co-opera-tion in saving their food containers. The tans must be prepared for collection by washing, removing the labels and pressing as flat as possible with the foot. This flattening is important to conserve space in the freight cars. After flattening, the cans should be placed in aj container separate from all other material, and set out at the curb on collection days. All persons living outside the city limits of Indianapolis, wishing to donate their tin cans, may do so by bringing their contribution into the city and placing on any curb, where they will be picked up by city trucks.
SYMPHONY MAESTRO BARS SONG PLUGGING
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11 (U. P.) —The Philadelphia orchestra today served notice that it does not intend to go into the song-plugging business just to put some budding composer “in the big money.” Conductor Eugene . Ormandy turned down such a request received in the form of a note. It read: “Attached you will find my latest song hit. Please, Mr. Ormandy, will you have Mr. Rubenstein (Pianist Arthur Rubinstein) plug it after the concert as his only encore? You can put me in the big
‘Piano Concerto,’ the number which Freddy Marfin made. famous and from which Grieg c¢ompbsed his concerto.” Ormandy pointed out that Grieg wrote his concerto in 1868—quite some time before Martin’s popular music transcription.
