Collective Bargaining in Japan

The Japanese government prohibits
the organization of labor unions but
collective bargaining, one of their prin-
cipal functions. has come into existence
without the formality of applying TO
tho Home Office, according TO the
Japan Advertiser" The war boom has
caused a scarcity of labor and almost
all industries could employ more hands
than they can get. Not so long ago
there was much talk Of over population
and the birth statistics were studied
and commented upon By many Japa-
nese. Conditions to-day, however, are
very different. Wages have risen in
thirty-fve out OF forty-one industries
dealt with in an Osaka Chamber Of
Commerce report, skilled labor in one

against one another for operators, and
