CHRYSLER UNION STUDIES ‘BONUS’
‘Living Cost” Raise.
DETROIT, Aug. 7 (U. P.).~Nor« man Matthews, Chrysler director for the C. I. O. United Auto Workers, said today he would ask the U. A. W. executive board to reopen the Chrysler contract and present a “cost-of-living bonus” demand. Mr. Matthews said the motion would be offered to the board by 15 presidents of locals in Chrysler plants, although it might be tabled in view of the price-wage conference called by C. I. O. Chief Phil Murray in Washington Aug. 15. President Walter P. Reuther was scheduled to make his report to the board today. He was expected to discuss in detail his studies of the price-wage situation and his recent action in calling a labor-manage-ment conference for the auto industry. No major company accepted his invitation:

Of all the houses started this year for veterans, only 40,000 actually have anybody living in ’em now. That's less than 1000 houses per state. Later on, maybe, will come houses in wholesale quantities, Mr. Wyatt thinks so, He held a press conference to explain his report to perhaps 100 reporters, They sat in the: leather chairs on

He thinks there still are too many banks, bowling alleys and beaneries being built. He hopes the government will get more hard-boiled.
He's inclined to be a little vague and pass the question on to somebody else (who also is vague) when asked about what he's doing to lower the prices of veterans’ houses. Indications are that some of these lads are getting stung with cracker boxes for which they pay rose-covered-cottage prices. “Mr, Wyatt says the average price of homes for veterans still is $7500, that the top price is $10,000, and that it will stay there during the foreseeable future. How long that is, he does not know. He adds that there is no way of telling how many of the 225,000 new houses—of which his report was so proud—actually have veterans living

Emmert Says Circuit Court Lacks Jurisdiction.
Circuit court has no legal aue thority to order any increase in Ine dianapolis Railways transit fares, Attorney General James A. Eme

The state's position was outlined in connection with the Railways’ suit in circuit court here, seeking an injunction: to prevent the . publie service commission from continuing to impose a no-increase order against the utility. ‘The brief set.out that the only authority circuit court has in the case would be an order, requiring the PSC to reconsider its findings. Decision Due Monday
The PSC recently denied the Railways’ petition for a fare ine crease from the present four tokens for 25 cents to three tokens for a quarter. Railway attorneys, in a hearing in circuit court last Friday before Special Judge Horace L. Hanna, of Danville, contended that the ine crease was necessary to finance purchase of new equipment, The Emmert brief said a transit fare increase would be asking transit riders to pay now for equip= ment to be bought in the future, Judge Hanna has set next Mon day for a decision in the case.
