American Federation of Labor, added:
without cooperation between the
management and the unions it would
have been impossible to build ships in
record breaking time, as we have done.
The unions have made an important
contribution-first, by supplying us
with skilled craftsmen; second, by
working without interruption and
working hard, and, third, by Offering
suggestions for increasing our eff
fciency."
The final interview was with Mr..
Peter w. Eller, ice-president of the
Thompson-Starrett Company, Inc,
which has contracts for considerable
war construction work. He said:
every one of them (war construc-
tion projects) is coming along on
schedule or ahead of schedule"
Mr.. Eller said his company has had
closed shop contracts with building
trades unions of the A F. of L. since
it's inception. Asked about the COM
pany's relations with these unions, he
said:
"Well, there's no use kidding our
selves or the public by saying we
never have had any troubles. We do
run into difficulty occasionally and
that's to be expected in the normal
course of business. But generally,
over the years, our relations with the
building and construction unions have
been fine. Our policy is to give labor
a square deal and we have found that
such policy pays dividends. We
treat our workers right and they treat
US right. AS result, building trades
mechanics and laborers are anxious to
work for us and give us good service"
In summing up the program, Philip
Pearl, commentator for the A. f. of
L., pointed out that the three employ
ers interviewed were not exceptional
but typical of thousands of American
leaders of industry who are working
shoulder to shoulder with union labor
today to help win the war"
