|U, S. LABOR BOARD
STOPS CONTRACT
CHAIRMAN TAFT SPEAKS
TO THE WORKERS.
Decision Affects 1000 General Elec-
trio Employees at Pittsfield, Mass;
Declares System a Source of
Constant Irritation.
Especial corre.pondenoe.,

Especial COffespondence-)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The ma
tional war labor board has gone to
the root of a number of recent labor
disturbances, in a decision ordering
the General Electric Company to elm
at its plant at Pittsfield, Mass.
The individual contract, altho not
always designed to prevent strikes of
workmen, has had that effect in
number of industrial centers, and the
decision of the board to cancel these
contracts is hailed here as the fore
runner of a number of similar de-
cisions favoring labor in other cities.
The dispute between the employees
and the General Electric Company
has been turned over to the two chair
, men of the board, William H. Taft and
Frank p. Walsh, for adjudication. The
board, in putting the wage question in
the hands of its chairmen, ordered
them to inaugurate a just system of
collective bargaining between COM
pany and men. The wage dispute,
which forms a part of the controversy,
will be adjusted in connection with
the settlement of the wage contro-
versy at the company's Schenectady
plant, in which hearings have already
been held.
Individual contracts are character
lied by the board as a source of irri-
tation in the dealings between em-
ployes and the company. One of the
principal demands of the men was
that the contract be abolished and
that a system be established by which
the workers could deal collectively
with the company. The order of the
board is that such of the contracts
ha oil faA
and that the company be directed to
make none in the future.
A committee of the Pittsfield work
ers appeared before the board recent
ly and the decision was communicated
to them verbally by Chairman Taft.
Chairman Taft addressed the work
ers as follows:
"The gentlemen constituting the
section, Mr.. Walsh and myself, shall
also take up the question of repre-
sentation and do with it as We, in
justice, think should be done in order
to secure proper representation for
the men,"
The war labor board will devise
a system of elections by which work
ers may choose committees to repre-
sent them in dealing with the en-
ploying firm. Up to this time the
company has not recognized either
committees or individuals represent
ing groups Of the workers. At Sche-
nectady, however, where there is a
high percentage of organization, COM
mittee representation has for some
time been recognized and accepted.
The committee representing the
Pittsfield workers assured the board
that its action would have the effect
of preventing a strike. They said
the workers had already voted to go
out, but that they were induced to
remain at work pending the boards
decision.
Approximately 1000 workers are
employed by the General Electric
Company at Pittsfield.

NO MORE DEAD LOCOMOTIVES

The policy of hauling, as inert
freight, motor-vehicles that are per-
fectly capable of travelling under their
own power is beginning to be recog-
nized as wasteful one under all cir
cumstances. Automobile manufacture
ers used to ship their goods away on
freight cars. Now they are very
largely driven from the factories by
special "drive-away days." when fleets
Of cars leave for their sales destina-
ton. This same principle, with an
even greater economy, is now to be
applied to locomotives, we are told
by writer in The Railway Review
Chicago, June 22). "Drive away
your own locomotive" is to be the
motto of the railroad administration,
