Editor Tall Tower Topics: With your interest in the Waterbury of old why don't you get in on that contro- versy the old Rye Lots and where the oldte ball players of this city cavored? You might announce for example, that the original baseball diamond in Water bury formerly cricket field and was mentioned by of the contributors to George Dlons sports col- used back around the end of the Civil War This fact can be verified by Waterbury histories Baseball placed cricket and also took It's playing surface The first real baseball diamond though, in Waterbury was down where the old New England and New Haven roads formed junction. That in the 1880s think Later on the diamond was moved to where the present car barns located and many battle witnessed here Incidentally Wateburys first two teams Of note were the Waterbury Baseball Club and the Monitor Baseball club known city official was one time captain of former fa- nous amateur nine known the Jeffersons. l could give lots of names too of others that enlisted the best amateur talent of the town.

 The effect may be either of these thingB:
 First, as the union organizers hope, the company union men may desert in Q body and swing over in large groups to tho Amalga- mated association. There is some ground for believing that organi- zation of these company unions may prove 6 boomerang, that they may have given a taste of organ- Ized action to many men hitherto indifferent to it, and thus pave the way for the union organizers,
 Second, as the companies hope, tho representation plans may con- vince . majority that without cx- pense, without . closed shop, and without strikes. the plans will ob- tain for the men about as much as, perhaps more than, a "profeS- sional union."

How YotlnR Ie COnducted

Three years of development have polished the original rough edges. For instance, the plan at Carnegie Illinois originally provided that 1t could Dc abolished ct will by the company. Under pressure, it was changed 90 that only employees by vote could terminate it.
 At Sheet A Tube, either may terminate the plan on three months notice.
 Complete latitude in choosing representatives b allowed as the plans function at present. They may be either "inSide" or "out- side" men. Voting iB secret, though the companies usually sup. ply the polling -places and ballots
 Votes at Carnegie-filinois are publicly counted, often in the presence of union representatives,.
 Electioneering signs chalked up throughout the mills on cars and walls indicate considerable inter- cst in tho elections, and consider able freedom.
 Tn the Carncgie-1llino plant at Homestead, . month after the election, c large "Vote for Lewis and Tighe" still appeared pron1i. nently chalked on 6 wall.
 Seek No Outside Aid
 Lewis did get some votes in re- cent company union elections, but the union men in the mills have never made any concerted effort to elect outside union men, such As Lewis, aS representatives. They feel that within the restrictions of the plan, expert outside representatives could do no more than their own talent.
 The thing to keep in mind iB that union mill workers almost always belong to the company unions as well. Thus at c recent union rally in Pittsburg, union leaders claimed that more than 50 company union representatives were present. It is certainly true that active company union work CTS have provided many of the ib00 volunteer organizers who Philip Murray claims are now aiding the 7B paid organizers throughout the steel field.
 Favor Company Unions
 on the olther hand, many men active with company unions are en- thusiaBtiC about them. They point out that more than 70 per cent of all cases to come before tho repro- sentatives for action have been do. Cided in favor of tho employees.
 Adjustment of inequities of pay where mems jobS overlap, always source of friction in steel mills, have often been made, and raises in pay for certain classes of work, when it was shown that some out- of.dAte method of figuring was used, have also been obtained.

Contrast Easy to See

The contrast with the union philosophy of building independent Organiza tionB, with resources to fight for refused demands, X ob- vlouS.
 Company unions entered thC steel industry immediately after the World War, when several steel plants installed them under direc. ton of industrial relations experts Colorado Fuel & Iron and Youngs' town Sheet & Tube are examples
 But tho big growth came ir 1883, when the NItA guaranteed to the men the right of bargain ing through representatives, Of their own choosing. HtraightwAy, nearly every mill in tho country offered to It's men an employ0 representation plan.

Groups Are Not Unions

The term company union" b . poor one, used here simply for cons venicnce. The "employe representa-. ton plans" are not in any sense unions.
 President Eugene Grace of the Iron and Steel Institute thus ex- plains the idea behind company unions:
 "There are those who cling to the outworn view that the normal relationship between employees and management is that of conflict. i. They And 1t impossible to grasp the elementary fact that the interests of the employees and the management are mutual rather than conflicting" Thus, Q company union is not union at ail, but an organized means of presenting the views and wishes of employees to employers, and vice versa, in the expectation that employers will meet the cTns ployes half way and grant aB many of the requests as possible.
 Once finally refused, no com. pany union has any means of cn- forcing its demands. Success de. pends on mutual good will.
