Telephones 1281 -3579 To Be Handled Final settlement of labor dis putes in the Territory will be handled solely hereafter by the territorial war labor board but military authorities may be called upon to assist in halting work' stoppages which threaten to interfere with the war effort. This was announced yesterday in a joint statement of coopera tion and division of authority issued by the office- of internal security and the territorial WLB.

"The armed forces and the territorial war labor board are in complete agreement on the board's program for the territory," said Lt. Gen. Robert C. Richardson commanding general, Pacific ocean areas.

"The transfer of jurisdiction over matters of labor disputes follows considerable study by the representatives of the war labor board and the office of internal security following the joint conferences between army and navy officials with Mr. Davis, chairman of the war labor board, who was in Hawaii recently at the invita tion of the war department." "The goals of the war labor board and the office of internal security during this war time emergency are exactly the same," said Co-chairman Seering. "Both want to assure continuance of maximum war effort without interruption and to call an immediate halt to the inflationary wage spiral which is already threatening the financial security of every person in the islands. "We are in complete agreement rn these goals and on the methods to be employed to reach them. In the event of work stoppages wrucn threaten the war effort, the territorial war labor board will not hesitate to call upon the military authorities for assistance.

However, the board retains the authority vested in it to order the terms of settlement of all disputes whether-they are peacefully submitted or accompanied by strikes or stoppages.
