Civilian Workers To Get More Pay In Wartime Hikes
Congress approved a stopgap raise for about 500000 federal civilian workers retroactive to December 1, lifting overtime and 10 percent boosts for those earning under 2900 dollars while capping increases for higher earners. Postal and judiciary staff receive the same percentage changes with set salary limits. The plan extends overtime and pay boosts through April 30 1943 to cover wartime needs and rising living costs.

Baltimore Transit Violation Alleged by WLB Over Strike
Baltimore AFL affiliates struck for one day after the Baltimore Transit Company refused to deal with outside representatives. The War Labor Board ordered recognition of the union for grievances, while the company insisted it would deal only with employees. A union spokesman said non acceptance of the order could delay resumption of the walkout amid pressure for presidential action. The dispute centers on handling grievances for about 2,000 workers and the role of AFL organizers versus independent unions. Monthly USO club attendance surpasses 7,000,000.
