Labor Board to Put Portal Pay Issue in Courts
Washington reports the War Labor Board is forecast to vote eight to four to shift the portal to portal pay dispute into litigation. The move could trigger new legal actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act by United Mine Workers members while public and industry members prepare minority opinions. UMW President John L. Lewis threatens continued mine disruption or wartime work through Secretary Ickes as court action proceeds. The board may consider merits of the demand, but travel time would be calculated by average group time, not individual rights under the wage and hour law.

No Hope For More Liberal Gas Supplies For East Coast Users
An un-named source says completion of the eastward extension of the big Inca oil pipeline around August will ease midwestern gas restrictions without easing east coast civilian use. The 34 inch line now delivers about 240000 barrels daily to Norris City Indiana from Texas, but half cannot be moved east by rail for military needs. After the east leg opens, deliveries may reach 300000 barrels daily, shifting the burden east. The Midwest faces losses until late summer, with a second Texas to Norris City pipeline delivering about 165000 barrels daily, and an eastward extension due around January 1 to raise to 235000 barrels daily, reducing Midwest supply. Military demand grows, limiting civilian supply as Britain and Mediterranean operations, plus Doolittle’s squadron, drive gasoline use to high levels, while Bureau of Mines notes stocks near critical levels.

Fathers May Not Be Called Fathers May Not Be Called
Washington reports from June 1841 suggest draft deferments for fathers may extend into October or indefinitely as war plans shift. D. C., a capital rumor source, cites three reasons: fewer 18 year olds, more childless married men, and a tilt toward aerial warfare reducing demand for male manpower. Casualty rates and replacement needs could alter the outlook, with drafts easing after year’s start if North Africa casualties stay low.

Fair Meat Supply For Maryland In The Coming Weeks
Baltimore June 18 The State Office of Price Administration says Marylanders can expect a fair and reasonable selection of joints at butcher shops in the next weeks though a shortage will grow after that period due to heavy armed forces demand. Meat rationing officer Richard E Wood reports Baltimore packers supply most of Maryland except Cumberland area and some quotas are nearly exhausted while others plan to use surplus slaughtering pork. He urges consumers to buy available meats such as fresh pork shoulders spare ribs sausage pork loin bacon and ham to avert a sharper beef shortage.
