 opinion that trade union agreements should include provisions providing plans for the establishment Of per manent machinery for the inter pretation- of agreements and for dealing with new incidental prob lems as they arise" the report said. "We urge also careful consideration Of additional provisions whereby the union may cooperate with manage ment. There is vital basis for CO., oneration between workers and management in their independent interests in the success Of the in dustrial undertaking in which they are employed. Progress and eff ciency in either group bring rectpro- cal benefits 10 the other. xxx
 The basis for cooperation is laid in the collective agreements n@Go- tatsd by unions and management, The management that seeks the CO., operation of the union is taking a course that assures most intelligent production results. Throughout all industry where collective bargaining obtains are more or less developed undertakings in cooperation between the unions and management, Tor more efficient produCliDn. Major responsibility rests upon manage ment for developing the machinery for getting the most benefit from this cooperation.
 Union Is Ready
 "The trades union movement is ready and anxious to do It's full share and looks to management to assume prior responsibility.

 Touching collateral conditions in industry, the report re-cxpressed hostility to company unions," or ganized by employees in single plants with management cooperation, and looked askance at some programs of employe stock ownership.
 Oppose Company Unions
 The federation will oppose to the full extent of its power the efforts of employers 10 compel their cmployes to join company unions" it was stated. "The evils resulting from company union schemes may not be ss pronounced as the older methods Of control Of workers by employers, nevertheless the results are more deadly. We cannot escape the inter- penetration of paternalism in any important potrion of workers lives The effect upon industry itself would be 10 retard progress. K xxx
 "A supplementary method of re- tarding the legitimate development of trades unions is that which would have the worker financially inter- ested in the concern by which she or he may be employed. It is intend ed by this method to create the im- pression among workers that there ts no necessity for trade union or
