AFL Members of War Labor Board
Hold Miners Have Real Claim
To 'Portal-to-Portal' Pay
Miners Only Being Paid What Is Owed To Them; Not
Raise AS Company Would Have Public Believe
Time Should Start AS Soon AS On Job

Washington, D C. (ILNS) ).-Pay-s
ment for travel time for coal miners
is not dependent upon the Fair Labor
Standards Act, but is right which is
granted to miners by other countries,
the American Federation of Labor
members of the National War Labor
Board declared in their dissenting
opinion in the Illinois coal case, in
volving the Illinois Coal Operators
Association and the United Mine
Workers of America.
The War Labor Board rejected the
"portal-to- portal" pay clause agreed
upon by the union and operators on
Aug 25. The board voted, 8 to 4, on
this issue, with the labor members
dissenting. Chairman William H. Da-
Wis, in the opinion for the majority,
made public August 81, stated that
the board had rejected the $1.25 a
day portal-to- portal pay clause be-
cause the figure "is arrived at by
processes of naturalization which
wholly ignores the fact that the mine
workers are not entitled to extra COM
pensation under the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act until the weekly working
time exceeds 40 hours"
Not Paid for Travel Time
The CIO members of the board is
sued their dissenting opinion Aug. %.
The dissenting opinion of the AFL
members, signed by George Meany
and Matthew Woll, holds that "a mine
worker is at work from the time he
reports for work, at the beginning of
the shift, and comes under the con-
troll, direction of supervision of his
employer until the end of the shift,
when he leaves the control, direction
or supervision of his employer. :. He
is not paid for that work, he has
never been paid for that work"
Stating that ore miners undergo
the same inconvenience and dangers
in travel time as do coal miners but
get paid for such time under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the opinion
asks, "Why should the majority of the
War Labor Board discriminate
against the coal miners?"
No Hidden" Increase Seen
The opinion says in part:
''The spokesman for the majority
has called the Illinois wage agreement
a hidden wage increase that is mot
very we'll hidden We can see no wage
increase in paying men for work for
which they have never been paid at all.
Increase necessarily means the re-
cipient has been receiving some pay
for the work in question. The mine
workers have received no pay at all.
How can it be an increase?
Settlement Deserves Approval"
GAS we see it, the mine workers
have a genuine claim to portal-to-
portal pay up to April 1, 1943," the
opinion concluded.
eve do not see how it is possible
to make argument against their claim
of portal-to-portal pay since April 1,
1943. The supplemental wage agree
ment of July 20, 1943, is genuine
settlement of real controversy. 1t
deserved approval. Rejection of the
agreement makes confusion worse
confounded."

No matter how stout his heart, a

danger when he is laid low by pneu-

the space of only ten months. The
deep anxiety of the British people Is
therefore wholly understandable,
and it is shared by millions and mil
lions of Americans who have come to
regard the great and eloquent Prime
Minister almost as If he were one of
their own. Back in the dark days

but blood, sweat and tears. he man.

and the heroic nature and drive of

American Saints

Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini
1t has been announced at Vatican
City, will be the first American
ever canonized saint by the
Catholic church" She was a woman
whose whole life was devoted to
the service Of the poor and humble,
especially among Italian immigrants
in the large cities of the United
States. Born at Lodi in 1850. a
child of the soil, she came to New
York when she was thirty-nine.
Later, she labored in New Orleans
and in Chicago. Famous as the
founder of the Institute of the Mis-
siOnary Sisters of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, she lived to see her work
spreading over three continents.
Hospitals, schools, orphanges and
other institutions which she Spon-
sored are listed to the number of
siXty-seven. Her death occurred in
1917. Evidence of the influence of
her holiness have been accommodating
ever since that date. She was
beatifled in 1888
The story of Mother Cabrini is of
particular interest in Washington
and in nearby Maryland because
it suggests the possibility that the
second American saint may be
Mother Eliza Ann Bavlev Seton. the
beloved founder of the Sisters of
Charity of Saint Joseph. whose
career reached it's richest fulflllment
at Emmitsburg in Frederick County.
A native of New York City, born in
1774, she was the daughter of a
professor of anatomy at Kings Col
lege and was educated by her father.
Married to wealthy young mer-
chant, she bore five children to
him prior to his death at Pisa in
italy in 1903. Her conversion
followed. It's most notable fruit
was the philanthropic sorority which
she organized in 1909 Her COM
munity," according to the Dictionary
of American Biography, may be
said to be the index of her character.
1t ministers to practically every type
of educational and social need of
the American people, for the glory
OF God and the good OF the country"
Mother Seton died in 1921. Her

Christmas MESSAGE
By the Most Ret. Michael J. Curley, D. D.,
Archbishop of Baltimore and Washington.

The eyes Of the world at this
Christmas season are turned, not to
Moscow, Toxic or Teheran, but to
the little town of Bethlehem, not far
distant from the city of Jerusalem.
When the worlds capitals shall be
forgotten, Bethlehem will be remem-
bered precisely because the Son of
God made man was bSfn near that
little town. His Blessed Mother.
young Jewish virgin could not find
room for herself and her Divine Babe
in the lodging houses. There was no
room for them there, but they did
find place in dugout on a nearby
hillside where the Infant God, who
had taken on our nature, was born.
OF all the events of the world, that
is the most thrilling.
Christmas brings forth the interest
of believers and unbelievers, but the
big fact is that the Godhead of the
Infant Christ is not dependent on
any ones belief or unbelief He was
and is really, truly and effectively
God who became our brother and
made us His brothers and sons Of
God.
The mighty event was announced
by angel voices to the poor and SIM
pie shepherds who were watching
over their flocks not far away. To
them, the glad tidings of great Joy
were given They were invited to be
the first visitors to the feet OF Christ,
the Son of God They had very
short journey to travel, just across

Child and foster-father. st. Joseph.
The poor had close contact with the
One who had no place in which to lay
His head and with the One who aft
erWard, on a momentous occasion,
declared the poor in spirit" blessed
and promised them the Kingdom Of
Heaven
1t was only afterward that the wise
and wealthy came, They had hard,
long road to travel. They met with
dangers on the way and men of the
West attempted to deceive them and
would probably have taken their lives.
If a merciful God had not directed
them back to their far-away homes
by another road. Wealth. as a rule,
does not tend to bring men to the
stable of Bethlehem, nor would it tend
to have them associate with the young
Carpenter in Nazareth: and surely
the wealthy would not be impressed
by the appearance OF the Victim Of
Calvary. The wealthy are not always
wise and it might be we'll for them to
remember what was said later on by
the God Man Himself about a camel,
the eye of a needle and the rich man.
All that was true 20 centuries ago and
is true today. II the captains and the
kings, the governors and the presi-
dents had come to the feet Of Christ
with the poor, they would have un-
derstood the dignity OF the poorest Of
the poor better than they did 20 CEN

Management Riqhts

Dean Young B. Smith of the Co.
lumhia University Law School, act
ing as arbitrator for the War Labor
Board. has ruled that management,
II it Is to be held responsible for
production results, should be free
to manage This may seem like
statement Of the obvious. but it is
a proposition which has been
seriously challenged by some labor
unions, and for this reason Dean
Smiths ruling assumes unusual i'm
portance.
The case before him involved a
demand from the employees of the
Wright Aeronautical Corporation
that the management discharge a
supervisor who was arrogant and
Objectionable to the workers." The
corporation had refused to discharge
the supervisor, contending he was
a representative Of the management,
and this had resulted in an un-
authorized strike. Finally it was
agreed to ask Dean Smith to deter
mine whether dispute of this sort
could properly be settled in an
arbitration proceeding He ruled
that, without the consent of the
management, the matter could not
be arbitrated. If supervisory en-
ployes may be removed through
arbitration forced by the union"
he said! the independence of man
agement in directing the affairs of
the company for which they are
responsible may be greatly i'm
paired" To the extent that this
serves as a precedent in time when
the rights of management are being
progressively restricted, the decision
OBVIOUSLY is of first Importance.
Dean Smith went a step further.
however, and the second aspect of
his opinion is no less important
than the first. In reaching his
decision he pointed out that effective
operation necessarily requires
concessions at times by both man
agement and workers. but he added
that this does not mean that every
demand must be granted.
peace bought by unWise con-
ceSsionS,' he declared, may in
the long run cause more harm than
good. There is a difference between
appeasement and cooperation. A
failure to recognize the distinction
by those conducting an industrial
enterprise or the affairs of a nation
may result in disaster"
This is notably sensible observa-
ton which may be commended to
those of our national policy makers
who are strong for the appeasement
of pressure groups, but who demand
little in the way of cooperation
from them. This is a policy which,
pursued to its logical conclusion,
can result only in the most serious
trouble.

turies ago and Infinitely better than
they do now.
Today, there are countless millions
who offer their hearts love to the Di-
vine Child Of Bethlehem. There are
other millions who turn away from
Him; many millions, perhaps, who
hate Him; but there is none who, de-
spite unbelief, can remain Indifferent.

The burden of the angels message
was that the Prince of Peace had
come into the world, and the worlds
duty after the birth OF Christ was to
give glory to God and to enjoy peace
among men on condition that men
were men Of good will.
There is little good will In the
world Of today. Christian civilization
seems to have been forgotten The
peace that Gods angels sang of is
far away. Men everywhere are in
tent on taking human life, on de-
struction to such an extent that we
are living In world of misery, of
tears and sorrow, a condition un-
precedented in the whole story OF
mankind. Why is it all? We are as
We are today precisely because men
have endeavored to eliminate God
from His world, have forgotten the
Divine Prince of Peace, have refused
and still are refusing to obey His
law. II peace is ever to come to men,
1t will never come as the result of
mere human activities. We have
had peace treaties and peace confer
ences throughout the ages-What be-
came Of them? Sooner or later, they
amounted TO nothing. God never en-
tered into the deliberations of the
men who made the peace. God was
set aside, and men without God were
egreglous failures. They will con-
tinue to be failures. so long as they
do not recognize the Divine Babe of
Bethlehem. our God and our Ruler
to whose laws every human being
must be subject When God and His
moral laws are brought into the de-
llberations of the heads of nations,
then with good will we shall have
peace. The dignity of man will never
be recognized except We remember
what that dignity means. 1t was ele-
waited to godly heights by the fact
that the Eternal Son of God took our
nature TO Himself and became like
to man in everything but sin.
Friends. make this Christmas a
holy Christmas. and then it will be a
happy Christmas. Real happiness is
something that comes from inside,
not from outside Kneel in spirit
with eyes of alteration fixed upon the
Christ Child and ask Him to soften
the hearts Of men and to draw them
to Himself with some of that SIM
plicity, with some of that humility
evidenced by His first visitors. the
humble shepherds from the fields of
Bethlehem.
