The W ashingt ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT S. ALLEN

WASHINGTON For m n y
months hard-boiled Assistant At
torney General Thurman Arnold
has made headline news with his
sensational antitrust exposes and
prosecutions of the biggest indus
trial giants in the country. Inc
latest was the case of Standard Oh
of New Jersey and its synthetic
rubber deal with the Nazl-con-
trolled I. G. Farbenindustrie.
This amazing record has won Ar
mold the title, 1.-The greatest trust
buster in history" 1t is highly de-
served.
Arnold's service to his country IN
smashing key monopolies is WITH
out equal, and incalculable in &c
onomic and military consequences.
It is a safe bet that when the his
tory of this period is written, Thur
man Arnold, the former Yale law
professor, will be credited with some
of the most far-reaching economic
reforms of the New Deal.
For without the enactment OF a
single new law, and often despite
the strenuous undercover resistance
of Administration big-shots, Arnold
has forced more fundamental clean
UPS in big business than all the
violently controversial New Deal
measures combined.
Arnold has struck directly at the
heart of monopolistic control-pat-
ent domination. He has smashed
some of the most powerful patent
empires in existence and brought
the light and life of free compe-
tition to thousands of independent
business men.
1t is accurate to say that ne mas
literally unshackled a number d
the major industries OF the U. o
from the crushing rule of lnterna-
tional monopoly.

Prof. w. ID. Boutwell, They have
placed on the Presidents desk a
ripping ten-point indictment of the
writing in government communica-

of study by the department under
direction of Boutwell, and B. P.

The worst fault of all, says the
report, is that sentences in govern

They average from 65 to 80 words.
In good government writing (the

Importance Of Wage Increases Now
Urged By AFL; Millions Underpuid

Washington, y. ca well-bnttressed
case for immediate wage increases,
payable in war bonds not convertible
into cash until after the war except in
distress circumstances, is presented in
the current issue Of Labor'S Monthly
Survey, published by the American
Federation of Labor. Visioning the nee
essty for building reserves for the
postwar period, the Survey said:
Wage increases now, from every
firm able TO grant them, are vital. For
after the war millions Of men viii be
coming back TO find jobs in civilian in
dustry. How can industry employ them
unless workers have substantial re-

Just that the company alone should
gain and workers have no part? BY
our program, wage increases paid by
companies able TO pay and given in
bonds cannot possibly cause imitation.
There is no valid reason for denying
them.
The move to stabilize wages was
proposed solely as an anti-infation
measure. To use labor as a scapegoat
because price ceilings cannot be ade
quataly enforced under existing laws
is wholly unfair 1t takes wage of
more than 10 cents per hour to give

hours and require breathing spell
More Part-Time Women Workers

More Part Time Women Workers
Another reservoir Of part-time labor
is also being tapped. The Ministry Of
Labor has framed a scheme for part
| time work for women wit domestic re-
sponsibilities. All unmarried women be-
tween the ages Of 20 and 80 may be
conscripted for the auxiliary women's
services.
! Women up to the age Of a. will have
registered for employment by Septem
ber Over five million women have been
mustered for industry and are working
full-time. Only those with domestic re-
sponsibilities, specifically the care Of
young children, are exempt from the
obligation of full-time employment. SO
great now Is the demand for labor that
even the women with domestic respon-
sibilities are now urged to volunteer
for some work in the war effort, on a
part-tiIne basis.
The Minister Of Labor has impressed
upon employers their share of respon-
Sibility in enabling the housewife TO
undertake part-time industrial employ
ment Many factors affect the hours
during which the housewife can do
such work but considerable elasticity
in the arrangement of hours is possible
The housewife who takes up part
time employment is doing war work
as any full-time worker Her contrbu
ton is of importance, and her Obliga-
tiOns as great as those of the regular
emplOye She must observe the factory
rules, and be punctual in attendance.
If assigned to work on the morning
shift she will have to do her house
work at unusual hours, planning meals
perhaps day ahead. and getting n
friendly arrangement with neighbors
about helping her in shopping and even
in preparing meals and looking after
her children.
Wide Field of Employment
The whole SCENE has been framed in
consultation with the representatives
of the Trade Unions. Employment eX-
changes are now compiling registers of
women able to do part-time work.
Arrangements have been called upon to
discuss the scheme with their own
workers as we'll as Trade Union repre-
SentativeS.
Part-time workers will be paid the
fiat rate per hour of the full-time
worker. Where time rates are not ap-
plicable it is suggested that a special
group bonus system of payment can be
developed by which production bonus
is divided amongst all the part-time
workers who contribute to the com
pletion of job. Part-time workers on
; piece work will get the same rates aS
those applicable for the full-time
worker.
Part-time women workers are al
ready employed in offices, banks, ware
houses, works and factories, Govern
ment departments and the offices oi

Urges Employers
To Aid Bargaining
Davis. Head Of WLB. Coun-
sells More Organization
Among Management

Washington. William II. Davis,
chairman Of the War Labor Board,
today called for an increase Of organ
lied cooperation between employer and
management groups as a prelude TO
industry wide collective bargaining
which he regarded as the next logical
development in labor relations.
Issuing statement in connection
with the publication Of How Collec-
tive Bargaining Works" by the Twen-
tieth Century Fund. Mr. Davis, chair
man of the special Labor Committee
which supervised the study, declared
that industry-wide collective bargain
ing makes for greater stability
throughout an industry, more respon-
sible unions and puts management on
more fair and equitable competitive
basis 50 far as wage costs are con-
cerned.'
at seems to me that what we prin-
cipally need is more organization
groups" said Mr.. Davis. Such organ
iZation would do much TO promote an
| equality of bargaining power between
| management and labor. As this Twen-
| tieth Century Fund survey abundantly
shows, collective bargaining in Amer
! ica is coming of age We can gain
much by examining methods and prac
tices, industry by industry, to see what
practices have failed here, what meth.
DDS have succeeded there, and using
this experience to build a sound arc

Labor News From Britdin

London. a delegate conference or
1000 fire fighters is being brought to-
gether in London by the Fire Brigades'
Union. 1t aims to provide q strong
send-off to Government scheme which
will enable the full-time personnel Of
the Civil Defense services to make
more active contribution to the general
war effort.
There are 10000 full-time fire fight
ers, including a large number Of
women. They We're mobiliZed by the
Ministry of Home Security and trained
for perilous and exhausing duties dur
ing the air attacks upon Britain. These
men and women have still to standby,
prepared to renew their heroic work
should Axis air attacks be resumed on
a large scale at any time. In Millions
phrase, They also serve who only
stand and wait" But certain waste
of man-power arises at the present
stage of the war in maintaining large
number of whOletime personnel stand
ing by night and day.
How Civil Defense Will Help
Add to the 100000 fire fighters the
large body of Aid Raid Wardens and
other full-time civil defense personnel
whose specific responsibilities require
them to be permanently mobiliZed and
kept in reserve, and you have quite a
big reservoir of manpower which can
| be drawn upon for part-time work out
side their specialized field of service.
So the Ministry of Home Security,
with the hearty concurrence of the fire
fighting organization, has framed a
scheme to enable the full-time person
mel of the Civil Defense services to go
to work in outside industry under ordi-
nary industrial conditions: or to do
other work under the direction of the
local public authorities.
1t is aiming particularly to under
take for short periods urgent industrial
work of nOn-recurrent character
which requires completion in matter
of hours, but for which the Ministry
of Labor is unable to obtain the neces-
sary labor from other sources.
The principle of the scheme is one OF
temporary release for periods of a
week or more There are many forms
of necessary intermittent work which
will thus be dovetailed in to the Civil
Defense duty periods. Care has been
taken to protect the rights and privil
eges of these whole-time members OF
the civil defense services, and to en-
sure that when they are employed out
side the services they will be paid at
the ordinary industrial rates, the rate
for the job
The work for the great majority lies
mainly, of course, in their own dis
tricts. But there are large units OF
mobile fire fighters and other civil de-
fense workers who have been mObilizeC
for service over large areas. They, too
are to be used, in various ways, bu
chiefly to relieve workers in industry
and essential services, such as on the
