For Coup

MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay, Feb.
III tUP).-Strong police detsch-
ments rushed to public buildings,
including the legislative palace and
the city electric light plant today

ton political elements as the re-
suit of a political dispute which
caused President Alfredo Baldomir
TO dissolve parliament.
The Senate, at the end OF a tur-
bulent night session, approved a
motion early today repudiating a
ithree-hour speech by a govern
'ment spokesman which opposition
members interpreted as a threat
that the national election set for
March % would be postponed or
cancelled.

Soon afterward Gen. Julio A.
ROletti resigned as defense minis
ter in the cabinet.
General Baldomir asked Foreign
Minister Alberto GUAM 10 take

present. in addition 10 his own
office, and at once dissolved
parliament.
Police reserves were moved
into the legislative palace and the
electoral college.
AT 5 a. m. 100 police from
the Montevideo headquarters oc-
cupied the palace and strong
guards were posted at all public
buildings.

General Baldomir called the
cabinet 10 meet in emergency
session al noon today and AR
ranged 10 address the nation by
radio at 8 p. m. so he could ex-
plain the action he had taken and
the reasons for IL.
Authorized informantS said that
il was expected that the cabinet
would resign To give the president
wider latitude in solving the
political crisis,
The city was quiet and there
was no censorship and no restric-

pose is to distinguish between men
who have dependents but are not en-

"By making this distinction between
those engaged in essential activities
and those whose civilian occupations

Workers Choice BY Ballot

proved machinery of collective bar
gaining.
Workers Choice BY Ballot
The scheme cOntemplateS small com
mittees, for large plants. In small eS-
Establishments, employing less than 13')
wOrkpeoplc, committees will not be set
/ up unless by mutual desire and only if
they are felt to be necessary. In the
larger plants they will be obligatory
for all federated employers. Workers
representatives are to be elected by
ballot, conducted Jointly by the man
agement and the union representatives
in the shops. and are to cover all de
partmentS as far as possible.
1t is expressly stipulated that all
organized adult workers, with not less
than two years service in the plant.
Will be eligible for election: but all
adult workers in the plant will be en-
titled to vote.
Both management and workers will
have the right to ''co-opt" persons EN-
plOyed in the plant for consultation on
particular matters of which they have
special knowledge.
The chairman of a committee is to
be appointed by the management. But
each side will appoint a secretary.
These two officers will prepare the
agenda of meetings, which are to be
held monthly or oftener, for special
purposes, if both sides agree. Workers
representatives will be paid for at
tendance at meetings at not less than
their time rate of wages, including
national bonus.
There is Il stipulation that the agree
mcnt shall terminate ut the end of the
war Eut there is also Il proviSO that
the question Of continuing the agree
ment beyond the war period shall be
considered. 1t lies with the committees,
therefore, to prove their permanent
usefulness. Union leaders think they
will soon Justify their existence, and
their retention in postwar industry.
MIR. Lyttelton's Task
At this stage, only Il brief reference
is possible to the other measure for
improving the machinery of production
on the higher levels of control This
development concerns the Regional
Production Boards. These joint bodies
are the key to decentralization. Their
functions and responsibilities are now

London. - Two important measures
calculated to speed up and maXmise

now reaching maturity. They have been
under consideration for Il long time

picision OF possible inefficicncy.

there cannot help being room for i'm

Coordination OF Effort
But the new measures about To be
tried ont will cnange all this. There
is to he much greater and more me-
lhodical cooperation between workers
and managementS in the factories,
more decentralization and more effec-
tive coordination among the ministries,
and more consultation with the repre-
S"ntaliyeS of industry by the Minister
OF Production. 70 come down 10 cases
Definite arrangements have now
been made by the employers and unions
in the engineering and Shipbuildin%
