MEMO TO E. C.R.: cc - Mr. V. R. Bracken Herewith file in connection with application filed by LVLdWCQ. for salary adjustment. Z talked to Mrs. Cartwright of the local War Labor Board here who stated we would have to take it up with Sen Francisco, and I refer you to my letter of.May 8 to the Regional Director of the War Labor Board. The situation is becoming extremely serious out there as we have lost one of our employes already and one of the clerks is planning on leaving the first of the month, both for more money. Although the Board may tell you that these employes c an’t leave, you can tell the Board that they are leaving, and Mre. Cartwright suggested that if this matter is explained to someone up there, they might give us some action. Incidentally, Mrs. Cartwright is from the San Francisco office but was down here temporarily. She seemed to know quite a bit about it. She told me that ordinarily they were holding these matters in abeyance pending instructions and new regulations but under the circumstances if there is any possibility of the Water Company being severely crippled in serving the oity and the various defense housing projects, etc., which include, incidentally,the housing project housing non-commissioned officers from the gunnery school, possibly the Board could give some temporary early relief.
