HEALTH NOTES

IFIE ORGANIZATIONS

Since the beginning Of mcn's social ex1
istence, there has been o dread conrlec ted
Wi tn thoughts about disease. That ancient
nan yE.s oGfli ctod by pestilence is borne
out By the e1amina tion Of bones found in
mounds and the like. At one time or other
whole civilizations have been wipod out
thru disease. History describes the var
.ouG p1cSuos il forms that bring horror
TO is Living in onli6 htonod times. Today
There is no mood to fool that great pla-
Euos will break out unloss thorc is groat
famine or othor cas- tropho. However tho
dofcnsos against disease must always DO
preserved SO that plague diseases will
continue to DO tho unusual rather than
tho commonplace. The Importance Of con-
togion in determining how history is to
be written may readily be roalizod by ro-
flocting that in ovory war that has boon
fought, tho mortality rate duo to disease
has always boon greater than that duo to
military injuries. During tho Great War
with oil tho advances OF modern sanita-
ton, tho epidemic Of influenza took its
to l Of livos that ovon as late
1918, diSoo Sc was cs important G factor
in deciding the fatos OF nations as Was
tho actual military forces.

ovory right to be proud Of tho measures
taken by the authorities to protect them
against di soaso. Tho Sewage Disposal

Town Manager share in tho praise which

Yesterday the location committee
made the following announcement:
"The Location Committee wishes
to state at the very beginning that

SECTIONAL LABOR
BARGAINING SEEN
N. |. R. B. Certifies C. |. O.
Union to Act for Dock
Workers on Coast.
BY JOHN C. HENRY,


Collective bargaining on the basi.
of an entire industry or for geographic
areas loomed as a possibility today ir
the wake of certification by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board of the
International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union as exclusive
representative for water front worker.
in bargaining procedure with five en-
ployer associations on the Pacific
Coast.
The ruling, made despite protests
from the employer groups and the
American Federation of Labor, gives
broad bargaining authority in 81 ports
to the dominant West Coast affiliate oI
the Committee for industrial Organ
ization.
The board explained this broad
grant of authority first of such mag
nitude to be made by the board, by
pointing out that the employer asso-
Citations on the West Coast follow joint
policy and that workers have found
their only chance Of successful bar
gaining to rest in similarly concerted
policy. The right of the l. L. W. U
to be the instrument for labor was
established, the board said, through
an election in which 9,557 out of H.
$50 longshoremen favored the c. I. o.
affiliate.
Lessons in Strikes.
The lessons of the disastrous local
strikes in 1916 and 1919 have brought
home to the longshoremen that action
that is not coast-wise will result in q
harmful setback to their self-organ-
ization," the board said.
The history of bargaining and Of
the longshoremen's organizations Is a
vivid portrayal Of the experiences of
the longshoremen as they learned
that, since their employers were act
ing together on coast basis. they, too,
would have to build a coast organ
ization which would parallel the or
ganization of the employers"
Both the American Federation Of
Labor and the employer groups con-
tended during board proceedings on
the coast that the board did not have
power to designate a bargaining unit
of such wide authority. The A. F. OF
L., represented by the International
Longshoremen's Association. has West
Coast representation in the Puget
Sound ports particularly.
Boards Answer.
The board made the following
answer in its decision:
1T is contended that the board
has no jurisdiction to 60 beyond the
individual company in deciding upon
an appropriate unit of employees. The
board, however, is expressly given the
authority to decide what the 'em-
ployer' unit is the unit most appro-
pirate for purposes of collective bar
gaining. The act includes within the
term employer any person acting In
the interst Of an employer, directly or
indirectly and the term person in
cludes one or more associa-
tionS -"
The employer groups affected di-
rectly by the ruling are the Water

Employers Of Portland. Waterfront
