have the mental and spiritual
breadth to see the other fellows
view. But just plain every day ex-
perience and training have lot
to do with it, too.
When labor first spoke up and
said: ''We want to lend a hand"
many people sympathetic with the
labor viewpoint were exceedingly
skeptical. They said: 'Who will
do the lending since labor has not
yet developed in it's ranks enough
hands, sufficiently trained in the
upper-bracket category of compli-
Gated administration. That NAV
be true.
There are outstanding excep-
tons in both the AFL and the
CLIO, but these exceptions, these
men who have revealed their
ability to deal with problems
above the routine of union adj
ministration, politics and nego-
tiation are so loaded down with
responsibilities now that they
simply cannot take on new bur-
dens.
That is one of the difficulties that
Donald Nelson knew he would have
to face if he had to select two men
from labor for his board. He has
found it hard to find sufficient men
whose breadth of viewpoint equalled
their business experience in the field
of industry. For that matter, it is
hard to find men in any field, or in
any country, who measure up to the
colossal tasks the war has imposed
upon them-in business, in govern
ment, in the army and navy.
If Mr.. Green and Mr.. Murray
choose man apiece who can live
up to the requirements they will
make real contribution to the war
effort. One government agency
which, Of its own accord, asked for
such a co-worker from the ranks of
labor, received one whose record
proved to be SO unsavory that it
took some maneuvering to cloak the

Washington, ID. G.
When it was first announced that
Donald Nelson had invited the
American Federation of Labor and
&he Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons to submit list of names from
which he might choose two new vice
chairmen of the War Production
board some eyebrows were lifted in
discreet doubt.
"Politics," said the cynical. 'Ne1-
son is in tough fight to keep the
army and the navy from running
away with the WPB. If he makes
a generous gesture toward labor it
will help him with the administra-
ton"
Later on, however, some of the
labor people, neutral as between
CLIO and ALL began to pass the
word around that Nelson was be-
coming sold on a greater participa-
ton of labor in councils where war
production policies are being settled.
His agreement to have "a frank
talk" they said, was not merely a
matter of clever politics. Mean
while, the military men have by no
means given up their struggle to get
control of war production and, for
that matter, control of ships and
shipping, the Maritime commits
sion's domain, but that is another
story.
There are many indications that
labor is being brought into the fold,
not merely because the union Of
ficials would naturally join forces
with Nelson in any struggle be-
tween mutt and khaki, but because
many people are beginning to feel
that it will be healthy thing for
the much-assailed capitalistic sys-
tenn and the institution vaguely de-
scribed as free enterprise.
In other words, it is better to try
to get cooperation between capital
and labor by forcing each to share
the others troubles around table
than it is to aepend on fighting it
out on the picket line. Especially
when there are a lot Of New Deal
planners whose plans usually tend
to give labor the break.
Two things probably have done
more to bring about growing faith
in the idea of cooperation at the
top instead of strikes and lockouts
at the bottom than anything else.
One is phenomenon which
has set some of the old-timers i'm
the labor department rubbing
their eyes. 1t is the way repre-
sentatives of industry and labor
on the War Labor board have
palled around. A real, mutual
respect and admiration has de-
velOped among some of the
members of these two camps
who have been trained to be-
lieve that all on the other side
wore horns. AS one veteran
conciliator put it to me, 1--WE
have witnessed miracle"
The other thing that has helped
aas been the way in some instances
(not all, by any means), that the
labor-management committees have
been able to work together. In
many places this attempt to have
the management Of war industries
sit down and talk over the problems
of how to increase production has
been an utter failure. In many Of
these cases I am told personalities
are to blame. The word PERSONAL
