Belgian Seurnen Cain
Under New Agreement

New York City (ILNS).-Th Bel
gian merchant Seamen'S and officers
organizations, affiliated with the Inter
national Transport Workers Fedora
ton, have signed II new collective
agreement with the Belgian govern
lncnt-in-cXile in London and the Bel
gian shpowners, which marks impor-
tant improvements in wages and work
ing conditions.
According to word from Omcr Il.
Becu, representative of the Belgian
seafarers' movement III the London
negotiations, the new agreement grants
a flat increase of 81 and Z ShillingS
per month to all lower ratings, thus
boosting the earnings of an ALB. sea
men to &26 per month. Half of this
amount is the basic wage and the re-
mainder the war bonus. Additional
wage advantages have been won for
seamen who after u year OF uninter-
rupted service are entitled to Il further
g. per month"; and an additional 1O
per cent increase for Seamen with
more than year of uninterrupted
service in foreign waters.

Have A Care When You Want To Kick

1t is true that more than 50OO,0OO
civilian employees are in the service '0f
the Federal and State governments.
That is why few brave statesmen
charge that some of the Government
agencies are guilty of waste and in
efficiency in boarding and pirating
labor. Every person who lives in the
Capital City knows that Washington
has hundreds of thousands OF persons
on the Government payrollS who are
not needed, and twice as many new
buildings as there We're in 1913. But
no one kicks very hard. because of the
universal fear that some needed war
programs might be Interrupted. Incl
dentally, Washington folks are afraid
of themSelveS-afraid that they may
complain, and find out later that they
should have cheered. Which all means
that Washington wiSeacreS too often
know too little about what is actually
happening-the North African affair,
for instance.

Taxes viii Be Increased

The Government deficit naturally
imposes many strange taxes upon the
people. The Government is trying 10
devise ways and methods SO that a
big hunk of the deficit will be aSsimil-
ated in the coming year
About 10 billion dollars will he tuck
ed onto the 1913 tax liability. This is IL
part of the effort to check imitation. If
prices advance next year, OF in future
years, it will bring on ntlation-that'S S
what Washington tells us.
For the past eight years the Adj
ministration, with the help of Con
greSs. has increased the excise
taxes, and these taxes are laid upon
specified commodities or services.
The reason it isn't called a sales
tax is that President Roosevelt in his
early days in the Presidency went out
on Il limb and said that the sales tax
plan belonged To the States. The
States" saw it first and the New Deal
brought out new models of its own,
and got the same results through the
excise taxes.
A huge burden of new tax leyieS will

Shortage In Truckmen
Otto S. Boyer, director of the Divi-
sion Of Transport, Personnel Office Of
Defense Transportation, said that
whether labor shortages in the for
hire trucking industry could be pre-
vented from becoming a serious factor
in the war effort would depend largely
on The initiative of labor and manage
ment in devsing new methods to OBJ
tain trained personnel.
This statement was prompted by an
DDT report on current and antici-
pated employment in the induSty,
BIASED on the latest bi-monthly survey
of the United States Employment
Service. Mr. Boyer appealed to labor
and mana cement to cooperate in de-
yiSing plans 10 meet current labor
shortages and prevent more serious
ones in the near future.
According TO reports obtained
! through the United States Employment
Service, there are critical shortages iii

panieS. Difficulties in obtaining drivers,
rate clerks and mechanics have been
| reported by other companies.
Shortages, especially of mechanics,
| tend 10 be more severe, the survey
! showed. in areas where expanding war
industries compete for available labor
| The survey covered 615 companies EN-
| ploying 93,O45 persons, or Isl per cent
Of the estimated employment for the
entire for-hire trucking industry
| All but thirty-two of the companies
covered by the survey employ women,
Mr.. Boyer said, but women generally
were employed almost entirely in
Office jobs. On the basis of individual
reports, however, it appeared that full
employment of women was rising
slowly. In some cases, reluctance to
employ women was attributed TO loca-
tiOnS or environment in which they
would have to work if hired but in
most cases it appeared to be due
merely 10 force Of habit"
! The survey showed that there had
been virtually no increase in the num-
Der of Negroes employed in this in
duStry. More extensive employment Of
/ Negroes and women and more inten-
sive training and upgrading of per-
Sonnel were among the immediate
steps that could be taken, Mr. Beyer
declared.

Although there were reports before

reported in one quarter that such Il

chief obstacles to peace and how they
may be overcome.
At the time talks were broken off
three years ago, John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers Of

G. I. O. He was in the midst of nego-
tiatiOnS for new coal contract in
March, 1899, and suggested to the A.
f. l.. committee that a recess be taken
in the peace discussions until he had
finished his coal sessions. This was
agreeable to the A. f. l.. but the peace
conference was not resumed until now,
more than two years after Philip

chief of the G. /. o.

S25.OOO Back Pdy

Cincinnati. Ohio. The Selby Shoe
Company, 1920 Seventh Street, Ports
mouth, Ohio, has been ordered to pay
&25,379.3O in back wages to 1426 en-
ployeeS under the terms of a judgment
issued by Judge John II. Drulfel of
the L. 5. District Court here. This
is the largest amount in back wages

became effective in October 1888.
The complaint, filed by the Wage
and Hour Division, L. S. Department
of Labor, charged the company with
failure to pay % cents an hour to

am hour from October 1899 to April
1910; failure to pay 30 cents an hour
in violation of the shoe manufacturing

and after quitting time and that such
time was not recorded and time and
One-half paid for overtime hours.
The company voluntarily agreed 10

manently enjoins and restraints it from
future violations and requires that the
30 cent an hour minimum established

Green Eauds Kaiser
President Green's statement said:
Henry j. Kaiser is unqueStiOnably
one of the most decent employers III
America. He treats his employees and
the trade unions that represent them
with utmost fairness. Labor-manage-
ment cooperation in the Kaiser ship
yards constitutes one of the outStand-
ing achievements in progressive indus
trial relations of this country. The re-
suits has been mountaineering produc-
ton, the kind of production America
needs to win this war.
Now the National Labor Relations
Board accuses Mr.. Kaiser OF unfair
labor practices and threatens to de
stroy as fine Il relationship between
employer and employee as exists any
where in the world.
Contract Similar To Many Others
"The basis of the NLRB complaint
is the fact that Mr.. Kaiser signed Il
cloSed-Shop contract with 16 AtL
unions before any appreciable number
of employees was hired in these three
shipyards.
IF such contract is illegal or
reprehensible, then every construction
firm in the United States and the Gov
ernment itself stands indicted by the
National Labor Relations Board.
How were all our new Army camps,
Naval training stations and airtieldS
built? Government agencies or private
contractors working for the Govern
ment signed agreements with AFL
unions to supply the men to do the
work. 1t was done efficiently and in
record-brealing time.
Kaiser Followed Legal Practice
by signing Il similar agreement
with a group of metal and building
trades unions affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, Mr.. Kaiser
followed an immemOral, efficient and
completely legal trade practice. The
results i'll his shipyarls speak for
themselves.
But these considerations apparent
ly were ignored by the National Labor
Relations Board, just us it seems TO
have ignored the fact that there is Il
war on.
IF the board in its amazing dctach-
ment from reality and actuality finds
its own complaint justified it Will then
attempt To invalidate the American
Federation of Labors contract with
Mr.. Kaiser and call for an election
among his employees.
