But returning TO the question OF
labor in our shipbuliding yards. we
are finding that some steps must be
taken to bring about a uniform pol
Icy in handling labor problems. The
government I'm a larger measure
must step in and handle questions OF
wages and threatened strikes.
Must Have Say on Wages
THE relation OF the employer and
employees may be all right 20 leave
alone In peace times. but i'm a war

have something to say as to what
wages are paid. what standard OF
living is established and whether or
not the unions are recognized"
IF one firm Is running on the
cost-plus basis and another firm on
the former shipyard will take the la.
Dor from the latter.
The government departments are
already bidding against one another
and stealing labor from one another.
Labor Council Coming
Sooner or later there will have to
be labor council or whatever IL
may be called-some central body to
coordinate all the divisions OF the
government which have to do with
labor problems land this means
nearly all departments Of govern
menp where the labor problems can
be worked out as to questions OF
policy and settled uniformly and
fairly.
'In other words, the government
must become to a greater degree a
job-finder for the laboring man and /
for the laboring |

conditions for the labor

strikes and ineffi- |
