Is Not Serious,
HiIImon Says
BY JAMES FREE.

Establishment of national me-
diation board to deal with strikes
affecting defense industries is re-
ceiving CLOSE consideration" from
the Office of Production Manage
ment. Sidney Hillman, associate di-
rector. said today
Mr.. Hillman said he and William
S. KnudSen, o. P. M. director. are
exploring many proposals" for such
board If a plan is decided on,
Mr. Hillman added, it will be sub
mitted to President Roosevelt and
could be put into effect by executive
order without legislation.
Regarding the general defense in
dustry strike situation, Mr.. Hillman
commented:
From a front-page standpoint.
the situation is very serious. But
considered generally and not from a
standpoint of spot news the situ-
alton is very good. The defense pro-
gram has not been interfered with
seriously by strikes"
MANY disputes Scttlcu.
The o. P. M. labor representative
said he has advised leaders of ma
tional labor organizations that they
must be big enough to find a way
to stop juriSdictional strikes He
added that there have not been as
many jurisdictional strikes as many
newspaper readers believe.
The labor organizations settle a
lot of these in the early stages" Mr..
Hillman asserted. but these settle
ments usually have not been a mat
ter of news"
Mr. Hillman also said that through
a series of zone conferences now
being held between employers and
unions in the shipbuilding industry
in an effort to set employment
standards, the Government hopes to
work out formulas that can be ap-
piled in Stabilizing employment and
production in other vital defense
industries.
I'VE want to give shipbuilding a
chance to set the pace" Mr.. Hillman
told his press conference today.
Plans for similar conferences in
which Government representatives
would sit in, have been considered
for the aircraft industry in par
ticular, he said.

is now being held in San Francisco. A
Gull meeting will be opened in New
Orleans March "a and an Atlantic
Seaboard conference in Atlantic

Persons in close touch with ad-

that no early transfer of naval craft,

The House experts emphasized
however, that they were concerned
