Savings, he said, would be realized by his proposal that his own salary be cut from $5,400 to $4,800 a year, and a voluntary proposal of the stage employes union which would mean a saving of $2,080 annually.

The union proposal was to eliminate the "swing who is paid by members laying off two days a week. Stage employes would go on a straight five-day week pay basis instead of being technically on duty seven days a week. CANDOR LIKE this will probably bring this young man years of marital happiness.

Nord, Twin Cities area director for the war manpower commission, said the freezing plan was worked out by the Twin Cities industrial area committee to end "wasteful shifting from job to job."

announced in Detroit last week. Frank Rarig, regional WMC director, said similar agreements are being sought in the Des Moines and Omaha areas. Blanks were mailed out to employers in the area today for them to fill out Indicating their participation. Though the setup Is voluntary, Nord Raid there are means to enforce the plan. The plan, Nord said, is designed: ITo end, piracy and unnecessary turnover of workers.

2 To provide a system for orderly transrer of skilled workers from non-essential to essential industries. 3 To provide for full utilization of the local labor supply to avoid overloading of housing and transportation facilities caused by unnecessary Importation of labor. 4 To plan for orderly importation ot workers if necessary.

WHEN THE DISTANCE to work is "unreasonably great." WHEN A WORKER, has compelling personal reasons. "The present supply of labor for war industries in the area Js adequate," Nord said, "but future needs may develop a shortage in critical occupations."
