NEWSPAPER GUILD OFFICIAL

Washington, d. G. (lLNS). -
Anthony Berardi, one Of the inter-
national vice-presidents of the CIO
American Newspaper Guild has re-
signed from that organization and
has joined the Chicago Editorial As
sociation, local of the American Edi-
torial Association, the national coun-
Gil of newspaper workers unions af-
filiated with the American Federation
of Labor, it was announced in Wash
ington.
Berardi was one of eighteen new
members admitted into the Chicago
Editorial Association at a meeting in
Chicago recently. The Chicago Edi-
toral Association recently was GER
tilted by the National Labor Relations
Board as the exclusive bargaining
agency for editorial employees of the
Chicago Herald-American, following
an election in which it won an over
whelming victory over the Guild.

And we propose, as coordinate with this ser
vice and under the same administration, Nation
al Board Of Mediation with twelve regional boards
the National Board to consist of an equal num-
Der of representatives of workers and employers,
man selected by the President Of the United
States local boards to consist of members selected
from panels designated by organizations of en-
ployers and workers.
The majority of issues can best be adjusted
through collective bargaining and the machinery
for enforcing union contracts. The availability of
Cancellation and mediation machinery helps to pre-
vent interruptions of production. The response
bility that goes with such selfgovernment begets
and promotes discipline and the desire to make ad-
ustments.

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

After the defense program ends,
what then?
The American Federation of Labor
is deeply concerned about this ques-
ton, which has not received much no.
tice in other quarters, though there
are indications it will get increasing
attention in the near future. The pro-
posal of Senator Wagner for COM
mission to plan now for avoiding
economic troubles when defense pro-
duction ends is a herald of congress-
ional attention to the matter, which
is also coming up with increasing fire.
quency for discussion elsewhere.
An article by Boris Shishkin, in the
American Federationist for January,
throws light on what it calls "the
problem of the aftermath"-a prob
lem that the nation must meet.
X X X
Says the Federationist article:
"Perhaps much sooner, perhaps
much later-in a year, in three years,
or in five years-the emergency will
be over and the nation will stand face
to face with the return to normalcy.
"At that time labor forSees a
crucial test of our ability as a
democratic people to assure un-
broken continuity in our ways
and methods of production and of
our standards of work and living.
"When that time comes new cur
rents of labor migration are bound to
be set off. There will be return flows
of migration, new stranded groups of
workers, new ghost towns, new dis
tressed areas-unless immediate pro-
vision against these things in every
phase of the defense program is
made"
Then the Federationist proceeds to
ask some questions, as follows:
"To what peacetime use can be put
the skills of thousands of workers who
are now being trained for defense
production?
care the billions now being spent
for defense production to be used for
factories and equipment which can be
given full utilization in normal peace
time production, or is this new pro
ductive establishment condemned tC
become an abandoned skeleton and a
silent monument to our intense but
improvident effort?
care the men and women workers
now being given intensive training
and now being urged to achieve the
utmost in their technical ability tc
be given an opportunity to make full
contribution to the peacetime pro.
duction of the nation, or are they tc
be thrown back upon the scrap heap
of unemployed for whom private in
dustry has no further use?"
These are challenging questions
that must bring constructive action, il
serious trouble is to be avoided.

NEW INDUSTRIES URGED

PEACE IN WAR INDUSTRIES

Wagner Plans To Avert
Post-Defense Collapse

Washington, D. C.-Believing that
America must start preparations now
to prevent an economic smash after
the defense program is over, Senator
Robert f. Wagner of New York in
troduced a joint resolution for that
purpose in the Senate.
He recommended the creation of a
Post Emergency Economic Advisory
Commission to devise procedure which
will enable the nation to shift ''from
defense-economy to peace-time
economy" with the crisis and unem-
ployment visioned as following a
war.

The Federal Reserve Board recently
reported that its index of industrial
production reached an all-time high in
December-and was equal to 1876 per
cent of the 1859 average on a
seasonally adjusted basis. Yet Sc
.curity markets remain comparatively
dormant.
Reason The prospect of new and
big taxes is deterrent-only the
naive believe that Congress will ap-
prove this years gigantic war budget
without attempting to raise part OF
it through additional taxation.
On top Of that, the cooler heads
know that war boom is apt to prove
"a bubble which will explode when
pricked and peace is the pin that will
eventually prick it.
Government officials are said to be
laying plans now for cushioning the
jshock. But many economists doubt
If much can be done. They still feel
that great artificial booms are more
than likely to be followed by great
IdepresSions. And no one knows what
the world will be like when this un-
precedentedly destructive war finally
ends.

SISCO TROPHY

Well, the sports trophy plan men
toned here last week was at rock
bottom a rather sincere request for
solidifed youth ideal to inspire colored
boys to be the right sort of champions.
We want our boys to veer away from
the path of the wise-guys, the "hep-
sters", the lads who become enchanted
by the chant of the weed, many who but
for complex misfortunes might have
taken the right road.
We want our boys to aspire to the
best characteristics of Henry Arm
strong Joe Louis, Peter Jackson, Fritz
Pollard, Satchel Paige, Nose Sisco, and
legions of others who followed the road
of sportsdom.
A trophy in memory of Sisco would
be a solidifed ideal. So would a trophy
honoring William H. Lewis, Matt Bull
lock, Johnny Shelbourne, Ned Gour-
din, Bill Jackman and other New Eng
land sports heroes of present and past.
Yet I don't believe there is one in circu-
lation in Boston.

THE STORY OF THE WEEK
Digger Loses in Record Hurdles
Thompson Sets Local Dash Mark

Davis, who has been tagged the
fastest human, came on to win his
trial heat in Garden record time of
5:04. His long strides brought many
EXPLANATIONS from the fans as he
finished in a burst of speed and APP
peared as though he were just begin
ming. 1t was in the semi-final running
that Thompson set the new record.
Pitted against Davis, the defending
champion left his starting blocks with
binding burst of speed and was
never really challenged for the lead
as he hurried down the boards to a
new record. Here was the gem race
of the long evening. Thompson accep-
ted the challenge of the latest sprint
sensation and beat him decisively.
The final race for the Briggs trophy
in the dash was received with wide
eyed enthusiasm as another record
breaking performance was expected.
The questionable winner, Davis, fin
ished in the routine time of 5:04 thus
allowing Thompson to be sole claim
ant to the fastest time ever run on the
Garden track. 1t was very close race
with Gil Walker and Leo Tarrant be-
ing very much in the race right down
to the finish wire.
