Mmpower Controls Put In Effect
In 80 New Labor Shortage" Areas

Washington. d. C.-Paul N.McNutt
announced that the War ManpOwer
Commission would take control of the
hiring of labor in 30 shortage areas,
a step expected to keep millions of
persons at their jobs in war industries.
Under the system, the chairman
said, the Manpower Commission or
agencies approved by it would fur
nish workers to employers on pri-
ority system based on the Importance
of the employer in the war effort. New
barriers would be raised to prevent
workers shifting from vital Occupa-
tions to less essential ones, and limits
would be placed on the authority of
employers to discharge workers as
signed to them through the Manpower
Commission.
VINO officials emphasized that no
one would be pegged irrevocably in
any particular job or even in any line
of work, if he, had good reasons to
leave, but one aim of the controls was
to prevent persons from leaving war
work for nonessential jobs without
reasons considered sufficient.
Nothing in the regulations would
prevent man from being promoted

Burns Criticizes Senate Control
Of Appointments To Federal Jobs

would apparently include the per diem
employees in arsenalS and ShipyardS,
of whom there are q great number,
probably, now earning $4,000 year OF
better. One such employee is the in
ventor of the famous Garand rifle, who
is a government engineer at the
Springfield Armory. These men earn
ing $45OO or more are the key men in
our national program of war produc-
ton, and it seems clear that this pro-
gram would be seriously disrupted, to
say the least.
"In such time of crisis as the
present any legislation that would
threaten the effectiveness of the ma
tional handling of the war is serious
danger to the national welfare. If the
Senate is going to try to fill $4,000 or
more jobs, will it have time to do
anything else?
1T should be pointed out that the
bill affects not only employees now re-
ceiving $500 or more but all govern
ment employees who may hope to
reach that figure some day. 1t would
in effect destroy the merit system, and
the American people are practically
100 per cent for merit"

or, for example, progressing from a
low-paying job to a higher-paying one
in his factory.
Moreover, the officials said, an ap-
peals procedure would function to pro-
tect the workers rights, and 1.-The pro-
grams will be operated in a democratic
way with full regard to local condi-
tions and with the advice of local
leaders of management and labor"
The controls, it was stated, would

throughout the country and are classi-
fed as critical labor shortage areas"
Officials said that many other areas,
where shortages threaten can be
brought under similar controls in the
discretion of the WAIC's II regional
directors.
The principal hiring operations will
be handled through the United States
Employment Service but the order di-
rected maximum utilization Of "all
existing hiring channels" which would
operate under WMC policy regulations.

channels were private employers,

Washington, ID. C.-Strong criticism
of the bill pending before the Senate
judiciary Committee requiring Senate
confirmation for all appointments to
positions in the Federal Government
paying $500 or more was expressed
by James b. Burns, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees, in a radio address here
over Station WINK.
There are nearly three million
civilian employees of the Government
at the present time" Mr.. Burns said.
"Many of these are career employees
who have come in at low salaries and
worked up through the ranks by merit
to important positions, to which they
bring substantial background OF
loyalty and experience. Every one of
these employees who earns $4,000 or
better would under this bill, be Ousted
from his job as of June 80, and the
Senate would have to approve all ap-
pontments to the jobs thus vacated.
There would be certainly not less
than $4,000 jobs thus opened up, pos
sibly even three times that many. The
bills language is very inclusive. 1t

RoYal Chino. Inc. Gets
Plant Classification

Sebring.-W. II. Hebenstreit, presi-
dent of Royal China, Inc, announced
last week that his company has been
officially notified that as a manufac-
turer of chinaware items for the
Armed Forces it is considered an es-
sential war plant.
Hebenstreit said he was happy to
receive this information from the War
Department because it should clarity
in the minds of pottery employees
their status and the status of a pot
terry engaged in manufacturing china
ware for the Armed Forces"
The government advised Hebenstreit
that it is very necessary that there be
no Interruptions in production sched-
ules as the delivery dates specified in
contracts must be met. Hebenstret eX-
pressed the hope that, this announce
ment will set the minds of employees
at rest, that there will be fewer work
ers absent from work and that the
vacant places in the plant will soon be
filled with competent employees anX-
iOuS to do their part in the war effort.

Illinois Labor Head
Urges Increases In
Workrnen' Benefits
Report Shows Insurance
Companies Make Big Profit
Over 20-Yedr Period

Chicago (ILNS). = OF $115,OOO,OOO
paid by employers for insurance prem
iums last year, injured workers in
Illinois received only 100000.
Describing this information, brought
out in report of the State Depart
ment Of Insurance, us startling" "
Reuben G. Soderstrom, president of
the Illinois State Federation of Labor,
pointed out that this meant that ''for
every $115 collected from employers
for this type of protection, the insur-
ance company paid the injured en-
ployee only SOL" and added.
1.-The difference between $51 ,OO0,0OO
and $115,OOO,0OO is $64,OOO,OOO. Quite
a profit The velvet amounts to much
over million dollars week. And this
has been going on for 20 years"
The state labor head observed that
the ''emplOyers, for some mysterious
reason, do not seem to be interested
in the question of insurance COST" and
asserted that 'organiZed labor ought
to do something about it," recommend
ing that the Workmen's Compensation
Act and the Occupational Diseases Act
be amended to provide for substantial
increases"
"The insurance carriers he said,
SHOULD be prevailed upon to pay the
raise without any additional cost to
the employer"
He also recommended that legiSla
ton be ''intrOduced and enacted au-
thoriZing the state insurance depart
ment to fix rates that insurance com
panies can charge"
This is done now with respect to
fire insurance carriers and automobile
casualty companies" "Soderstrom said.
Warning that undoubtedly the in
surance companies, which make more
out of industrial accidents than do the
injured workers, will be strong to de-
feat this needed rate fixing legisla-
tion," he expressed the opinion, how
ever, that they will also be smooth
enough to meet the increase demanded

Vicious Anti-Ldbor

stroY Effectiveness Of
Labor Unions

Columbus, OhiO.-The deadline for
the introduction of bills in the Gen
eral Assembly, Feb. s. brought forth
deluge of new measures, among them
many of direct concern to Labor
ranging all the way from some to
slightly improve workers status, to
Others which would destroy the eflec-
tiveneSs of Labor Unions.
The new bills introduced brought
the total number of measures of inter-
est to Labor to 13O, and the total of
all bills in both houses to 625-439 in
unanimous consent of members bills
may still he introduced in the Senate.)
According to Phil Hannah, Legisla-
tive Agent and Secretary of the Ohio
State Federation of labor, a break
down of bills introduced of interest to
Labor by subject reveals: Three to
destroy the effectiveness of Unions !;
three relative to civil service; five
regarding the Home Guard and High
way Patrol; six relative to children !;
six relative to taxation; six concern
ing unemployment compensation eight
regarding females and minors; 10
relative to building and construction !;
Is old age and blind pensions; IS
state employees; and 26 of general
classification.
Because of the necessity of defeat
ing the more serious anti-Labor mea-
sures in the Legislature, of which
there are many. Labor must first cen
ter its attention on some of these high
ly undesirable bills.
According to Legislative Agent
Hannah, the following group of anti
Labor bills will receive major atten-
tion in the form of vigorous opposition.

FISH BITING

Erwin, Tenn. - Greetings from the
Sunny South You haven't heard from
us for some time but everything seems
to be under control here in Erwin.
The fish have been biting for some
time now and the usual stories that
are told by the nimrotls are the chief
topic of discussion around the shop.
Herman Mcintosh, our genial clay
carrier boasts of the best record to
date, twenty-five. There seems to be
a little doubt in the minds of some of
the brothers of Macs success, but
pending the success of Gowdy Thomp-
son in his latest boast that he will
make all take a back seat in due time,
Herman's record will 90 unchallenged.
The carrying-out settlement found
diSfavOr among a few jiggermen and
the usual comment was heard in the
shop, but when it was explained il
was a national settlement the argu-
ments ceased. We did not feel our ware
carriers should go back to labOrer's $
wages but this point has also been
settled and we find we must go along
with the wishes of the ma jOrity, which
is the democratic way of settlements.
Our city streets was the scene of our
picket line on two occasions lately.
The presence of Japanese ware in one
of our five and dime stores caused
quite a stir among our members. Senti-
ment was very high but under the
leadership of our leaders it was kept
within the boundary of argument. The
ware has been removed and the man
agement promises that it will not hap
pen again. To all you brothers and
sisters throughout the trade, keep in
mind that this war will be over some
day and our Buy American movement
should not wait till then. Let's go all
out for America, not only now, but
always.

The measure (S. b. 159, Addison (R)

following a series of conferences be-

a close study of the agreed bill
reveals that Labor has given up moth

proposed legislation are:

The present law provides for payment

is for the purpose of helping the af-
flicted worker re-establish himself in
new occupation, and would be paid
in addition to any other money he
might be earning. Acceptance of this
allowance would not deny him the
right to later make claim for full

Central Labor Union Sends
Letter Of Protest To
Village Council

Sebring. - Sebring Central Labor
Union voted to send letter. speaking
against any time change to the Sebrins
Village Council, at the meeting of the
Trades and Labor representatives, last
Wednesday evening.
Gathering in the Council chambers
the Central body had Mayor Phillip
Schroeder and Councilman William
Unger present. Schroeder, who did not
express his own views, asked for the
opinion of that body on the time
change.
Spokesman for the Labor Unions
said that their members felt that the
time for change had already passed.
They asserted that if the time had
been moved back in the fall, labor
would have supported it because it
would have been to labOr's advantage.
However, change now would make
conditions worse, and not better for
workers, it was added.
The letter was ordered written as
the official action by the Labor Council
on the matter.l
