of the grand jury action. The union
head defed Arnold to show what steps
the union had taken without the
knowledge of the proper governmental
authorities and said, in effect, that
the Arnold investigation was an at
tack on good wage standards.
The Indictment was the climax of
an investigation for two weeks of al
legged collusion in the submission of
bids in June for contracts to manu-
facture 100000 army field hats.
When the bids were opened, the in
dictment averred, 81 of the 46 were
found to be identical, each offering to
make the hats for 65 cents apiece.
Four Local Unions Named
In addition to the Indictment
against the hatters' international
union, it's locals in New York City,
Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis
were indicted. Those cities, and Kan
sas City, were given as the addresses
of all the corporate and individual
manufacturers named in the indict-

formed the alleged conspiracy, and

Asks Congress-; Measures Sure
To Do Harm, Says Labor Head

non-defense industries has been infini-
tesimal in the first nine months of
1941. In industry as whole, he said,
only 10 million man-days were lost by
strikes out of a total of 5h billion
man-days of work in private nom
farm industry. This, he declared, was
a small price to pay for our freedom.
Asks Rejection of Bills
Green followed up his Labor Com
mittee testimony with letter to all
Senators and Representative appeal
ing to them to vote against pending
anti-strike legislation.
At the same time, he sent letters to
all affiliated labor bodies throughout
the nation urging them to rally their
forces to defeat anti-labor bills.
In his letters to members of Con-
gress, President Green reiterated his
assertions that time lost as result of
strikes by A. F. of L. unions had been
inconsequential, compared the strike
record of the United States favorably
to that of England and Canada, ma
tions for years actually at war, and
declared it seems inconceivable that
Congress should penalize the loyal and
devoted members Of the federation by
enactment of anti-strike legislation.
widespread Resentment" Seen
"In behalf of and in the name of the
millions of men and women identified
with the American Federation Of La
bor," he said, 81 vigorously protest
against the enactment of anti-labor
and anti-strike legislation of any kind.
"The enactment of such legislation
will cause widespread resentment
among the membership of the fedora
ton and all their friends. |, there
fore, earnestly appeal to you to vote
against the enactment of proposed
anti-labor legislation into law"

Philadelphia (ILNS). = A federal
grand jury has returned an indictment
against 16 hat manufacturing COM
panies, five labor unions and five labor
officials, charging a conspiracy to fix
prices in violation of the Sherman
trust laws, on army field hats pur-
chased by the War Department.
The Indictment charges nation
wide conspiracy by the hat manufac-
turers and unions to set prices of
army field hats and to limit and re-
strict quantities of hats upon which
each manufacturer would bid.
Previous to the handing down of
the Indictment, Max Zaritsky, presi-
dent of the United Hatters, Cap
and Millinery Workers International
Union, one of the indicted labor
bodies, scathingly denounced the
grand jury Investigations as a ''con-
spiracy on the part of a few anti
union manufacturers, whose greed we
have curbed, to avenge themselves
on u.s."

tween union officials and hat manu-
facturers at meeting "in or about
the month of June, 1941"
The Indictment discloses that 6,00O,-
900 army field hats were ordered by
the War Department at the start of
the present year, through the local
quartermaster depot. Contracts for
the first 100000 were awarded in
February, for the second 100000 in
June, and for the final 100000 in
September.
Investigation Ordered
1t was the bids submitted by manu-
facturers in June that caused the in
dictment. The identical bids offered
at that time were rejected by the War
Department, and an investigation was
ordered. In September, when the final
bids were received and the investiga-
tion was under way, no identical bids
were received, and there was no bid
of 65 cents. There was as much as
25 cents difference in the bids. The
highest was 63 cents, and the highest
accepted was 49 cents.

Voluntary Cooperation by Industry, Labor and Govern
ment Urged as Alternative to Proposed Legislation
Proposes Naming of National War Labor Board.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = Any
anti-strike legislation would 'do more
harm than good" President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor told the House Labor Commit
tee, in a statement strongly denounc-
ing proposed anti-strike bills. Three
such bills were before the House and
two before the Senate as he spoke.
AS an alternative to anti-strike leg
islation, President Green proposed a
cooperative plan to be worked out by
industry, labor and the government to
end strikes. Throughout his state
ment, he emphasized the principle of
voluntary action as the best and the
wisest course to be followed in pro-
noting industrial peace.
War Labor Board Asked
'To give up the voluntary principle
to modify it in any degree-is to
give up the keystone to the kind of
industrial relations that bring recipro-
cal benefits to both employers and en-
ployes," Green declared. "Such joint
relations are obviously the only kind
that can hope to escape strikes and
other violence"
"While we defend our democ-
racy against foreign Dictates" he
added, 1--WE must take equal care
to preserve our democratic insti-
tutions at home"
President Green said that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor recommended
creation of a National War Labor
Board along the lines of the similar
board of the World War, whose record
was one of extraordinary success" 7"
1t had labor, employer and public rep
resentatives.

Must Build Morale

Such board, he said, should pro-
vide for hearings locally in as many
labor disputes as possible to speed ad-
justments by eliminating the need for
bringing the principals to Washington.
The key to success of the plan is to
create in all doing the job of defense
production the will to see it through.
''To build this MORALE" he declared,
1--WE must mobilize the wills of those
responsible for management and those
responsible for production" Give
them a personal stake in the outcome.
'This can be done," he continued,
"by asking the voluntary organiza-
tions of employers and workers to take
responsibility for the duration of the
job and to select their representatives
to work with government represent
atives selected by the President to
agree upon policies and to mobilize
their organizations throughout the
country in support of plans agreed to
by their spokesman.
Representation Basic"
"The democratic principle of repre-
sentation is basic for morale, for the
maximum of intelligent cooperation,
for responsibility for sustained effort,
and for efficiency in terms of output"
Green said that mediation and con-
ciliation have been uniformly success
full whereas compulsory arbitration
has uniformly failed" and cited fail
ure of the Colorado compulsory in
vestigation act and the Kansas Court
of Industrial Relations as proof of his
assertion.
