Tripartite Council
Discusses Regional J
Application of Work
DALLAS, Nov. ' 25.—Sentiment in
favor of liberal interpretation of War
Labor Board orders in the wage
stabilization program in the South-
/ west grew out of tne firs' meeting
here Monday of the tripant.r advisory
council which.’ will help the W'LB
administer the program in this re-
gion.
The tripartite council, composed of
four members each from labor, in-
dustry and the public, met with
Floyd McGowan San Antonio, re-
gional directorof the WLB, at the
Hotol Adolphus, and decided its func-
tion would Ibe “to help cut the pat-
tern" for wage stabilization control.
McGowan explained the advisory
council, composed of the men who
know the region, the people and the
econo.nic conditions, has been set up
to advise on W!LB policies and to
make recommendations. McGowan
said he, as regional director, would
be governed largely by the decisions
and recommendatinos of the concil.
Turning to administration of th?
gtabUization program, memlbers of
the council said common sense should
be exarctoed in Interpreting the reg-
u’atIona and ordarg of the 1MUB. and
a resolution recommending liberal In-
terpretations was discussed.
Lennart V. Isq-ae-n, Waco, profes-
sor of law at Baylor University and
member of the group reprsoenting
the public, was designated to draw
up su.cn « resolution for preramtatton
al the second meeting of the concil
next' Monday.
The -advisability of etieouraging In-
dustries to establish wage plans In
which conditions of wage Increases
would be prescribed also was discus-
sed. It was pointed out that such
j Ians, previously approved,
make it unnecessary for employ
to go to the VWLB for approval
individual wage increases.
Using an ordinary bakery mixer,
Tom (left) and Jimmy Richards of
Los Angeles, who call themselves
“monkey wrench researchers,” are
shbwn turning out a batch of the
synthetic rubber they have devel-
oped. They say it can be produced
from waste vegetable matter, waste
milk, etc., and can be made for 35
cents a pound, compared with 40 to
70 cents for other synthetics. They
say Rubber Czar Jeffers is “inter
ested.”
i Burial will be in Houston Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock from Hyde
Park Funeral Home.

Is Declared Illegal
AUSTIN, Tex , cNv. 2ft. - Attorney

quired to provide for . release from

trict, the new remission to begin
when the original remission ended.

sion was held .to 'be void and it was

meeting on behalf of the Canadian
aM-to-Russia fund.

ing to buy the fighting equipment
needed by your aona-” “You will be
making the safest investment In the
world." “You will be getting a prof-

"You wili be doing your part to
