This means that alter March 30, 1943. if we feel that the increase in cost of living has justi- fied further wage increase we can give notice to the company of our desire to reopen wage discussions. "The' wage' policy of the WLB was-established by the Little Steel forinula only entitled us to small raises in certain departments. The National office has advised us that there is a possibility that this formula will be revised.

If this is done the union will certainly? make every effort to gain the increase to which we feel our members are entitled." Fred Z. Hetxe!

The other would give firemen an fccrease in pay.

Negroes Employed In conformity with the request of President Roosevelt and to comply with government requirements for all plants producing war goods, the Celanese Corporation has employed some Negro workers, five going to work yesterday in the service de- partment.

Collections of books will be made every day this week through urday.

Emphasis in this drive is placed upon the quality of books donated. It has been suggested that contri- butors "count their books and then donate the books, that 'count' most." Libraries for service men, it has been pointed out, are hand-picked collections and not a dumping place for out-worn, out-moded and gen- erally worthless reading material. Lack of care in selection of books will impose a great deal of needless toil and -effort- on the scouting collectors.
