DILATORY TACTICS WELL
CHARACTERIZED

Employers have been quick to casti-
gate strikers for the use of the drastic
sit-down strike. But recently new
phrase in the language of collective
bargaining was added-the "stand-up
strike"-by H. H. Broach, business
representative of New York City Lo-
cal 3, international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, who used the col
orful phrase to characterize recall
citrant employer who pretends to
abide by the National Labor Relations
Act but in reality refuses to come to
any working agreement with the rep
resentatives of it's employees.
Broach used this expression to de-
scribe the tactics of the Leviton Man
ufacturing Company, which when com

THREE STATES
DISCRACED
(From the Washington, D. c., Post)

(From the Washington, D. c., Post)
Every American ought to be cha
grined at the report coming from
Tuskegee Institute showing an in
crease in lynchings last year. 1t is
true that the total number of these
mob murders is not large. Only four
lives were claimed by infuriated gangs
taking the law into their own hands,
compared with three lynchings in 1899
But that black mark against American
democracy seems particularly mex
cusable at time when this nation is
throwing it's influence into the balance
against barbarous practices in other
parts of the world.
Of course, the report from Tuskegee
is not without its brighter aspects.
The victims of mob violence in 1910
were only half as numerous as they
were in both 1886 and 1887. The cur
rent report is the most favorable for
any year, except 1889. Tuskegee's de-
partment of records and research
found, moreover, that % persons had
been saved from the hands of mobs
by officers of the law. Obviously the
reinforcement officials of the south
ern states are far more diligent in
protecting the lives of accused persons
than they were a few years ago. And
all but three of the states kept their
records entirely clear of lynchings in
1910.
Those three states-Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee taken the
full disgrace of the 1910 lynchings
upon themselves.

union simply went through the mo-
tions, thus making farce of the Wag-
ner Act.
''Dilatory tactics are reprehensible
whether indulged in by labor or man
agement," Broach said. when an
employer carries out such activities
it should be called stand-up strike"
In the case of the Leviton workers,
1,700 New York strikers are being
stood up by Mr.. Leviton for fair
wages, decent working conditions and
representation by genuine A. F. of L.
union.
The phrase 'stand-up strike" seems
an apt expression of the tactics of a
stalling employer and may we'll earn
permanent place in the language of
labor.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Appointment of Ernest Bevin, Brit
ish Minister of Labor and well known
union leader, as chairman of a new
overall committee on defense produc-
tion gives point to statements in this
column that labor is assuming a po-
sition of dominance in Great Britain
and is gradually taken over control of
defense activities. 1t is a practical
expression of the forces of democracy
fighting dictatorship. The ruling
families" of Britain are taking back
seat.
American labor is now citing the
British example in support of the de-
mand for a larger voice for labor in
the conduct of the national defense
program. In the current American
Federationist, official organ of the
American Federation of Labor, Will
liam Green renews the federation's de-
mand for wider representation in gov
ernmental departments and agencies
dealing with defense and, as strong
argument in favor of this proposal,
points to Britain
''The experiences of Great Britain" !"
he says, "prove that when labor rep
resentatives are admitted into the
councils of government and given full
knowledge of the facts, they can more
effectively protect those they repre-
sent and persuade them, when neces-
sary, to make sacrifices and translate
defense policies into action.
Along with acceleration of the ma
tons military defenses, the year 1910
saw significant strengthening of other
important defenses-those designed to
protect the social security of the
American people, Chairman Arthur j
Altmeyer of the Social Security Board
shows
This strengthening of social security
is point that Messrs. Hitler, Musso-
lini and Stain would do well to note
Altmeyer declares that the social
security program, now in its sixth

Fire Fighters File Suit
For Back Pay Under
Minimum Wage Law

Decatur, I'll. (ILNS) Decatur fire
fighters, members of Local sos, Inter
national Association of Fire Fighters,
have filed suit against the city for
non-payment of SITE monthly mini
mum firemen's wage as provided by
an act of the last general assembly.
The city council was presented with
the individual claims for back pay for
forty three firemen, all members of the
Fire Fighters Local No. sos. The
union has employed Ed Hayes as the
attorney, who stated that the suit
against the city was the only way in
which the money could be paid by the
council.
The city of Mattoon was faced with
similar problem and solved it by
issuing bonds. Peoria has already
found a way to pay the firemen and
so has Springfield.

year, has proved big factor in con-
serving the morale of workers and
their families.
"More than So million men and
women employed in industry and COM
merce now have social security ac-
counts" he says. Through this in
surance system, workers throughout
the entire country are building up pro-
lection for themselves and their fam
lilies. Approximately 1000 benefit
claims-for retired wage earners and
their aged wives, for widows, orphans
or dependent parents of workers who
have died-are now being approved
daily.
"While this insurance protects
workers families if old age or death
cuts off earnings, unemployment COM
pensation is providing similar insur-
ance to help workers bridge the gaps
between jobs. More than % million
workers now have this protection un-
der laws operating in all the states"
Each of the five years during which
the national social security program
has been in operation has been marked
by progress and increased efficiency
says Altmeyer in urging continued
security progress. "The cumulative
accomplishments are paying dividends
in terms of national morale as well as
in terms of human welfare and hap.
piness. They represent tremendous
gains in security within our own fam.
lilies and our own nation-a security
which is as important as defense
against dangers without. 1t is essen
tial that we continue to build upor
these gains. Further progress in SO
cial security during 1941 and succeed
ing years will greatly help in promot
ing our national security AS the ma
tional defense program develops it be
comes increasingly necessary to pla1
ahead for the employment, health, ant
unemployment problems which ar,
ahead of u.s."

Maintain Standards,
William Green Urges

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) - Con-
demning interests that seek to lower
labor standards, President Green of
the American Federation of Labor
writes in the American Federationist:
"There is every justification for main
tanning the American standard of liv-
ing. There is, indeed, plenty Of room
for improving living standards, espe-
cially in areas where conditions are
far below the general national level"

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
STRENGTHENED

Existing unions will be strength
ened and organization of new unions
promoted by the Supreme Court deci-
sion upholding the principle that
agreements between workers and en-
ployers must be signed by the en-
ployer.
The decision will, of itself, organize
no unions; that job is, as always, up
to the workers. But by upholding the
right of the National Labor Relations
Board to require signing of agree
ments, it will strengthen the bargain
ing power of organized labor and give
labor increased prestige and stability.
The Labor Relations Act requires
that employers bargain in good faith
The law does not say they must enter
into agreements with employees. When
an agreement is reached, however,
they must put it in writing and sign
it, under the Supreme Court ruling
Heretofore, some have blocked agree
ments indefinitely by refusing to sign,
on one pretext or another, thus "frus-
trating the bargaining process" in the
language of the court. Now that kind
of stalling is "out," and effective col
lective bargaining will be the gamer.
AS the Washington Post said, in COM
menting on the decision:
"The cause of genuine collective
bargaining can be promoted best by
definite written agreements that can
be readily understood by both sides.
A decision permitting employers to
evade an essential step in the bargain
ing process would have seriously weak
ened the protection which Congress in
tended to give working men"
