English Translation

25a only competent utility office IV Berlin have transferred to the local pension offices of the Reichsversorgung. By the "Government decree of May 1, 1944, Coll. No.121/44 on compensations for war invalids in public passenger transport, on preferential clearance of military invalids before official posts, and on the introduction of a heavy-war-damaged card" the same advantages, which until now only German war victims were reserved, were also granted to the protected members of the war victims. IV. Wage policy In the last 3 months, the introduction of wage-setting measures in other plants, above all in the aircraft industry, has been decreed. The recent observations, which are only preliminary results, show that essential performance reserves can still be mobilised in this way. The relocations from the rest of the Reich and the loosening of the aircraft industry have often had quite significant effects because of the different wage structure, which so far have been largely mitigated by the fact that at first secondment ratios were allowed with the continuation of the old wage rates. Special regulations are agreed with the relevant plants, which, in the opinion of the parties concerned, can be carried out without major difficulties. Final information on this can only be provided when production has started at the new production facilities with the wages allowed for it. The fight against violations of labour standards, which have increased in recent times, has been vigorously pursued in close agreement with the BdS. In order to promote the willingness of the forces employed in agriculture and to ensure the yield of the harvest, the relevant regulations will be adopted in the near future in the broad sense of the administrative criminal procedure of the district authorities.
