Business Firms Urged to Set Up Transportation Committees
San Francisco, Nov. 4--Business firms employing 100 or more persons today were advised by OPA to set rrp their own transportation committees to assist in handling the gasoline-ratioriing problems of their fellow workers.
The announcement was made by Harry F. Camp, regior,ral OPA administrator, who predicted the procedure will prove "of great service to the local Rationing Boards and at the same time permit employees to file application for 'B' and 'C' books with the transportation committee in their own plant."
Mr. Camp said:
"With these management-labor committees created, an employee will not have to apply to his rationing board for supplemental gas privileges.
"He will apply direct to his own transportation committee which, better than anyons slse, should be familiar with his occupational needs.
"After passing on an employee's application, the transportation committee will 'forward the application to the employee's own rationing board with recommendation. The board may grant the full amount recommended, or less. An employee will, of course, have the right to appeal to his rationing board if his transportation committee refuses to grant his request."

Camp said the mileage-rationing regulations provide that these committees be composed of management and labor representatives within the firm, or any group from within their ranks agreed upon jointly by management and labor. Committees can be composed of any number of representatives agreed upon.
The committees will not handle applications for "A" books, for which every automobile owner is eligible.
