MILK HAULERS GET 0. K. TO LIFT PRICE

The OPA has authorized raw milk| .

truckers in rural areas of five states, including Michigan and’Indiana, to increase rates five cents per hun-dred-weight to avert a “serious breakdown”. of the milk distribution system in these states. The increase was granted after investigation by the Cleveland regional Opa office which revealed that conditions peculiar to business result in small payloads and earnings. Regional OPA price Executive Edward C. Walsh said the increase was effective immediately in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiona and West Virginia, : Under the order, any carrier other than common carrier operating in the five-state area collecting raw milk from farmers and other producers in rural areas and hauling it to dairies, milk depots and other receiving points, may add five cents per hundred weight to the maximum rate established by regulations covering the business. Milk haulers had appealed to OPA for ceiling price adjustments on the grounds they could not continue operations: because of low rates.

der his fesponsibility alone, the CIO indicated. ' The CIO board did not give unqualified support to the stabilization program or to the WLB. Ii demanded wage adjustments to meet a rise of living costs since May 1, 1942, which has been estimated at about 4 per cent, and which the WYB formula does not take into

' account.

It also warned.that wage stabilization does not mean freezing, and said that that part of the formula which specifies the same percentage wage adjustments for all wage earners is unfair to lower-bracket workers and should be eliminated.

Decision Up to Byrnes

In general, the CIO leaders in‘dicated that action to correct a “breakdown” in price control is up to Director of Economic Stabilization James F. Byrnes and to the office of price administration. They asked Byrnes to direct at

‘once’ the application of universal rationing of foods and other nec-|

assities, and, warning of alleged “black markets,” urged OPA to scale’ down certain prices. Most important result of the conference was the announcement that the organization has joined the American Federation of Labor, the railroad brotherhoods and the National Farmers Union to fight legislation by “an unholy alliance” of congressional groups.

Mr. Bravman's plan was : eighth submitted to the committee; which is now in its second week of | hearings on the general subject of pay-as-you-go taxation. One proposal featuring partial cancellation of 1942 taxes—not envisaged in the Bravman plan—appeared to have considerable committee support.

Uses 1941 Rates

This partial cancellation plans was suggested by Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C) and would “forgive” approximately $3,500,000,000 of 1942 obligations through application of 1941 rates. instead of present higher ones on last year’s income. Democratic members of the com-| mittee believe that Rep. Doughton’s plan has stronger backing than others, particularly the Ruml plan for complete cancellation of 1942 taxes. : “There is considerable feeling” Rep. Doughton said, “that my suggestion may be as good as any thal has thus far been proposed. I think committee sentiment favors some sort of compromise rather than the Ruml plan although I have not officially polled the mem-
