War Labor Bourd Pluns
Hearings Open To Public

Washington, ID. C.-Revision of its
procedure to provide for public hear
ings before the full board was an
nounced by the National War Labor
Board. The open hearings will prevail
only in cases going to all II board
members. Proceedings before the
panels of the board will remain secret
as before.
In announcing the change, NWLB
Chairman William H. Davis declared
that "thc practice by public bodies of
holding open hearings is one of the
halmarks of democracy. Because of
the national agreement between labor
and management that there shall be
no strikes or lockouts for the duration
of the wala and that all disputes shall
be settled by peaceful means, the deci-
Sions of the board have Il quasi judicial
character
The American people, Davis said,
are entitled to as much information
as possible concerning the facts CON
sidered by the board in reaching its
DECISIONS"

from civilian to war production as
quickly as possible; a move involving
tremendous in-plant training arrange
ments.
1t has been variOusly estimated that
to fulfill the demands for war equip
ment and supplies made by the Presi-
dent approximately 10,OW,OOO workers
will have to be hired or diverted to
war work during the next II months.
More millions will have to be added to
meet 1913 obligations.
Training Needs Vary
OF the 10 million who will go on war
plants payrolls this year, only about
100000 are expected to be workers
with no previous industrial experience;
100000 will be transfers from non
essential civilian production work.
Virtually all of these workers will
have to undergo some form Of inplant
training to adjust them to new pro-
duction requirements and techniques.
Workers in textile mills, iron and
steel foundries and mills, and in food
lIluuStlltS VIII littt lllllC IL
any training. In these industries the
making of products for military use
instead of civilian use requires no
ma. .jor alteration of procedures or op-
irrational methods.
The case is entirely different in ma
chinery manufacturing, transportation
equipment, and rubber-processing in
duStrieS Extensive retOOling is under
way to convert plants in these indus
tries to war uses. 1t is necessary to
ers to adapt them TO new and, in many
instances, entirely different production
requirement.

Labor On Job
(COntinued From Pagc Ore)

(L0nifnnfd from rage One)
are constantly harrassed by selfish at
tacks from the rear"
The right to strike is just as funda-
mental as the right to own or manage
property, the right of free speech or
of a free press, Mr.. Green declared.
Notification of any one of these rights,
jeOpardizes the others equally, he
stressed.
Labor voluntarily gave up the right
to strike for the duration of the war
just as the newspapers submitted to
censorship" Mr.. Green continued, "but
labor will no more submit to compul-
sorry abolition of the right to strike
than the newspapers would agree to
abolition of the principle of free press.
"One of the great freedoms which
labor is fighting to protect in this war
is the right to strike. Take these free
dOmS away, and what are we fighting
for? Our freedom is our flag. Amer.
lean labor will not let anyone, friend
or foe, trample upon it,
Mr.. Green also warned employers
who advocate freezing wages that il
the Government decides that the wal
requires such action it must, in al
fairness, be compelled to limit or wipe
out profits from war contracts at The
same time.
But, he emphasized, there is no ne
cessity for such dire developments i
all groups in America concentrate OF
the main job of winning the war il
the shortest possible time and stol
squabbling with each other
Labor is on the job" Mr.. Greer
concluded. 1--WE ask industry and th'
considerations for the duration of th'
emergency and get right down to wori
with us without further delay"

Increase Granted

C. I. o. are supporting an organizing
is already beginning to show results
Gradually the wOrkmen are accepting
the instrumentality of the American
labor movement as the only means
through which they can establish a
decent standard of living and enjoy
some of the finer things Of life.
The employers also are beginning to
see the many advantages that are OBJ
tained through collective bargaining
agreement with their employees, and in
many cases had the courage and hon
esty of conviction to assert themselves.
Many of them, who We're paying
wage rates considerably less than our
uniform scale and in some instances DO
to IS per cent less, found the expert
ence a costly adventure. This bein.
due namely to the inexperienced work
men, and the absence of appren
tceship education, sponsored by jour
neymen tradesmen, who down through
the years have developed Il high de
gree of skill among our tradesmen.
The establishment of the West Coast
office has been real help and assist
ance to both the employer and EN-
plOye. 1t has helped them to become
more secure, and when confronted witt
problems beyond their control or Solu
ton, come to this Office and in every
instance their difficulties have beef
settled without stoppage of work.

Attention is also directed to the need
of safeguarding the insurance rights or
persons who take civil service defense
Jobs with the Federal Government and
thereby endanger their insurance rights
under the Federal old age and sur
yiyors' insurance system, which does
not cover government employment.
The board suggests that the lnSllr-
ance rights of those who join the
Army or Navy could be protected in
one of several ways. One method would
freeze" their insurance status upon
the date Of their enlistment or induc-
lion, with no contributions or benefits
payable during the period of their serv-
ice but with the resumption of such
status at the time they leave the
armed forces.
For Extending Protection
The board believes that old age and
survivors insurance protection should
now be extended to farm laborers, do
nestle servants, and all other excluded
groups of workers, including public
employees, employees of charitable, re-
ligious, educational, and other non
profit organizations, and the "self-em-
ployed."
The report says that administrative
obstacles to coverage Of agricultural
and domestic workers do not seem in
superable and that the use of IA staml
system to maintain the wage records OF
such workers would be practical.
"The coverage of employees of the
Federal Government is particularly
urgent the report states, because
large numbers Of persons are entering
navy yards, arsenalS, or other Govern
ment service. Many of these persons
have left covered jobs in commerce ano
industry and will eventually return tt
such Jobs Unless their services with
the Government are covered, they VIII
impair or lose their insured status
under the old-agc and survivors IN
surance program"
Disability Benefits Urged
The board believes that expansion
of the Social Security program to com
pensate workers for wage losses re-
Sulting from permanent or temporary
disability il now feasible. In this con
nection, the report points out that
wage Garner who is out of work be
cause he is sick is not entitled to hI
unemployment benefit even though hl'
past work and earnings would have
qualified him for benefits ii he were
well and available for a job.

Six Million Women
Workers Avuildble

Washington, -. G. Nearly
G,OOOOOO women can be recruited TINS
wear for work in war industries ana
other essential services. Miss Mary An
derson, director of the Women'S Ru-
rcau, L. :. Department of Labor, said
here.
"One-third of this number can be
drawn from the lG,5OO,WN women in
the 1914 age group, who are now en-
gagged in own home houscwork, without
drawing into the labor market mothers
from families with children under
ten she said
Before this group Is considered, she
said, factory women from converted or
curtailcd consumer goods Industries
and approximately 1,OO0,WO women I'M
employed and registered with public
employment agencies in December
1341 should be absorbed in the war
program.
7OO, 900 From School Available
"In addition" Miss Anderson con
tinucd, 100000 women UP 10 ~ years
of age now attending school will be
market this year"
1t was pointed out that 800 900 wom-
en- were already in the total war labor
force in January, 1912, and that such
total is expected To increase from
100000 10 l5,OoO,OOO by l9i3
Miss Anderson said that WOmcn'S
Bureau estimates of the woman war
labor supply took into account federal
legislation whose provisions widely af-
feet employment in war industries.
Laws Limit Employment
The Public Contracts Act prohibits
employment of girls under IS in manu-
facture of goods for the Government
when the contract Is in excess of $40
600. The Fair Labor Standards Act
prohibits the employment of children
under lG in manufacturing for inter
state commerce, and restricts the cm-
ployment of children rs To Is years in
occupations determined to be hazard
Gus.
The importance to home and com
munity of hiring women whose homes
would not be upset. or additional re-
spOnsibilitics placed on the community
by their employment was emphasized.
1T should be borne in mind, how
ever" Miss Anderson concluded that
many women now in the labor force or
seeking work have dependents. and
they should be given priority employ
ment."

uO MEETING STUDIES
LABOR'S TRANSFER

Montreal GLNS) ).-LabOr, Industrial
and government officials of the United
States and Canada met here at the
call of the international Labor Office
to discuss redistribution of labor in
the two nations for the most effective
production of war materials.
An ILO press release quoted one
delegate as saying that Great Britain
had "fumbled the situation almost ia
tally but has now achieved more real
istic procedures Another spokesman
was quoted as urging the formulation
of independent policies for countries
on this side of the Atlantic.
America can't win this war unless the
huge army of men i'm overalls now en-
listed on the industrial front is kept in
the best of shape.
Would anyone i'm this country think
it might help win the war if we put
our soldiers, sailors and fiers on short
rations? Would anyone dare to slg-
gest that the men i'm the ranks on the
battIetieds be blamed if we lose Il bat
tie in the Pacific?
Yet the campaign of calumny against
labor is just rs ridiculous and dan
gerouS. If our workers don't earn
enough to live decently and keep THEN
families in good health, our war pro
duction program will fail. If our
workers are continually bounded and
berated by the press and public they
will lose heart
We urge all those who are as in.
tereStcd as we are in winning the wal
to bear these truths always in mind.
