manpower commission.” 2. Pull use of all available manpower, such as women, Negroes and sll racial groups. © 8. Adequate protection for work . @rs whose right to leave particular Jobs or areas is restricted.

. 5. Labor participation in questions of drafting from war: jobs to the armed forces. 6. Expansion of the U. S. employment service and labor participation in its operation. . 7. National minimum standards of social security for all workers. * Writing in elaboration of Point 3, Mr. Murray stated: “Individual plants or areas may have to be designated as critical _ with restrictions to be imposed upon the right of workers to leave work. | Adequate protection must therefore be afforded the workers as follows: (a): All plants to be covered should be investigated and certified as complying with (1) the health and -safety requirements. |

“(b) Employees in the designated plants or areas should, of cou be permitted to leave their presen employ for the purpose of seeking | employment elsewhere if the employee is doing so to (1) obtain a ' higher skilled job; (2) obtain full employment wheréas he is only par-+ tially employed at present; (3) meet certain compelling personal reasons, and (4) obtain employment at a plant closer to the employee’s resi: dence, thereby éliminating unnecessary travel. “(c) An employee in one of the designated plants or areas should
be guaranteed that as long as ‘he|”
is ready, able and willing to do the work and reports for work, he should receive a minimum weekly
wage equal to: his average hourly|
earnings for 40 hours. Where an industry or a plant has been re‘quested to operate on a longer work " week, the employees therein em-
ployed should: be guaranteed af
minimum weekly wage based upon such longer work week with premium pay in accordance with vutstanding collective bargaining © agreements, statutes and the presi: dent’s executive order 9240.” On Point 4, Mr. Murray’s letter
laid downs the following Tequire.
ments: “It is recognized “that to meet some critical situations employees may have to be transferred to plants which have a serious short-

as follows:
transfers lowing safeguards are essential. “(a) Wherever possible transfers of employees from one plant to another should be made within the
from another region, / -

AEF FINDS GOLD. COIN VALUABLE’ IN AFRICA
NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (U, P.)~ The American’ army took no chances with “folding money” when it invaded North America, Maj. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory, quartermaster general, speaking on|the army’s radio hour, disclosed today that troop units were issued
“good hard gold” coins. They were used to pay for native labor. “These people, of course, didn't even know what paper money .is,” Gen. Grégory said, “and the only thing that makes an impression on them is good hard gold. “Unfortunately, all of our gold in this country has long since been|’ converted into bullion. Therefore, we borrowed a large supply of gold] © dollars from the Canadian government and each small unit was furnished: with a supply of these gold coins.” He said the coins were found} to be “very valuable.”
