SALARY STABXLTZATION BOARD
ISSUES POLICIES
The Salary Stabilization Board has issued two Salary Sta'bil:izatior~~ Re,~;--
ulations . Salary Regulation No, l incorporates practically all the
policies of the Wage Stabilization Board.- Salary Stabil:zation Re,gula-
tion'No. 2 establishes the policy for approvira.g profit st~.aring and.
bonus :payments to salaried employees . This latter Regulation tE~mp,ara.~i-
ly freezes the total amount. of the bonus payments at the 1950 level, or .
if the employer prefers, at the average amount paid dur;irig any three
years between 1g~+6 and 1950 j-nclus ive .
The Salary Stabilization Board has indicated unofficialay that Lts' de-?
visions on merit and length-of-service increases twill be guj.ded by' cla_
General Wage Regulation No. 5 of the Wage Stabilization ~,oard, r,ather-
than the new GWR 5 revently issued by tree WSB. The. rea?3 an f'or t-k~a_S is
that the ald Regulation is more flexible and offers `con?si.derable ls~ti-
tude for increases in cases where formal job evaluation plans are riot
operative. It is recognized that the compensation of salaried emp~.oyees
is determined more often an an individual basis, than on the bass l of a
formal wage plan .
i
The Salary Stabilization Board will not use the offices of the Wage a.rc1
Hour Divisipn for the prpcessing of individual actions requiring; a~-
proval of the WSB. Instead, a field organization of 15 district o~'fices
dill be established to handle such cases, of which approximately 5,000
ark now pending.

CPYRGHTp~~'~SHER MAY RE
JECT ADVER~'ISING HE DEEMS OBJECTIONABLE
The right of a publication to re jest an advertisement, or to withhold
the privilege of advertising, fram any advertiser it deems objection:~;~~le
has been upheld by the Supreme Court of New York. The case is that of
Abco Movin & Storage Corp. vs . the New Y~ Telephone Company decided
by Justice Charles D. BreiteZ on Februar~r 21, 1951.
mhe plaintiff was a certified carr~.er of household goods in interstate
commerce . The defendant publishes various classified telephone direc?-
tories circulated within metropolj.tan New Yark. Joseph Visceglia op~:;r--
ates and controls the Abco Moving $c Storage Gorp. and operates and con-
trols the United Security Associated Warehouses, Inc., of New York Ctr,y.
Both Visceglia and the latter corporation were convicted several years
ago in the U . S . District Court for ~ the State of New Jersey on several
violations of the Interstate Commerce Commission Act .
Evidence brought before the Supreme Court by a Better Business Bureau
representative in the Abco case, s'uppler~enting the telephone company's
own records, revealed customer complaints against Abca and against
United. The Court denied Abco's motion for a mandatory iri junction re-
qu~ring the telephone company to publish its advertisements in the
ca ossified directory . In upholding the position of the telephone com-
pany, the Court held that the tele''phane company has an ethical obliga-?
tion to protect the advert is3ng pages of its classified directory from
being the instruments of unethical practices upon the public.
CPYRGHT FCC APPROVES WESTERN UNION INCREASE IN PRESS RATES
The Federal Communications Commission has authorized Western Union to
raise, its rates by a total of $9,800,000 annually to off-set increased
costs .
Thee .~Comm.ssion approved an increase from 10 to 15 words in the minimum
message charge for straight telegrams . ' It also authorized an increase
in press rates . The new day press rate will be one-half the telegram
and the new night press rate will be one-quarter of the telegr~~,m
rate
,
rate . Previously, the ratio had been one-third and one-sixth respective-F
ly .
Last May, NYSPA President O'Hara joined. with the ANPA in requesting the
Federal Communications Commission'to postpone the increases until a
hearing could be held. On June 27th, El is ha Hanson, ANPA General Coun-
sel s,nd F. E. Pdeinholtz, Comtriunin~'.ons" Director of the New York Times
a.nd adviser to the ANPA Press ~;cm~:a~lications Committee, appeared before'
trie ~'CC in opposition to the p~o;:~~?~a prase rate increases. The basic
cbjection of the ANPA was that tract ?~destern Union formula would increase
;~re,~s rates proportionately more th~yn other telegraph .rates. The FC~~;
r~cTaver, ruled that it diu no~ cor.~ider the Western Union proposal as
ur_raueona'ole, and the new rotas have been approved.

LIBEL RULING SUGGESTS CAUTION ON LABOR AD3.
Publishers should weigh .carefully their degree of exposure to l~.be1
actions before accepting controversial labor advertising. Statements
issued in the heat of labar controversy, merit close scr~.~tiriy for
libe~.ous material.
A newspaper in Kent.ucl~y was recently held liable for staff;ements made t;~;
a un~.an. The ,2a.be1 suit arose out of a paid published ac~vertisemer~t
that 'a small re-staurant was "unfair" to 1'members of labor.". ThP pra-
priet' or Lzad. a handy man paint a two foot strip around the daor an the
outside of the restaurant, which ~~ork was finished in 1~e,3s than an hour.
The ],Deal painters'. union, about a month and a half later., inserted the
fallowing; ad in the Paducah Sun-Democrat.. ('Circulation 2'r_ ?000) ;
