GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 10,
The highest obligation of any labor

perity to the industry Of which it Is
part, Bishop Francis J. Haas, 4
pioneer in the field Of labor rela-
tions. declared today at the S7th
annual convention Of the Interna-
tional typographical Union (AFL)
Il bring up the matter only to
condemn a totally false conception
Of the purpose of a union, and one
which unfortunately takes hold OF
the thinking of some union officials
and members" the Catholic bishop
told delegates at their opening ses-
sion. That is that union is essen
TALLY a fighting machine and that
1t should do all it can to nag and
annoy and antagonize the employer" "
THE clear common sense duty of
every union ofilcer and member" he
emphasized, lis to assist the en-
ployer by regarding the business as
something of cooperative enter
prise"
Former head OF the Presidents
Fair Employment Practices Com
mittee, Bishop Haas pointed out that
the right of workers to bargain COL
lectively has been protected by the
Federal Government since 1885, and
said it Is their moral right 80 that
comes out of their being free men,"
The printing trade now is facing
revolutionary technical changes, he
said, adding that your experience
in dealing with labor-saving devices
to the benefit Of yourselves as well
as of the whole community will
equip you with prudence and good
sense likewise to turn new inventions
affecting the printing trade to the
advantage OF yourselves and OF all
people"
About $500 delegates are expected
to arrive before business sessions
open Monday, according to Woodruff
Randolph, international ITU presi-
dent.
Mr.. Randolph said the only resolu-
ton to come before delegates will be
one asking for upward revision OF
the Little Steel" formula.

Postwar America offered today In
11-point program for such problems
as employment, postwar taxes and

fair and impartial treatment to both
management and labor with "a
minimum of reliance on the expen-
diture of public funds" The COM
mission includes several Governors.
business and labor executives and
others.
1t advocated postwar policy OF
Federal taxation which would mod
ify levieS on individual and corpor-
ate incomes. and urged that "over-
tapping and competing taxation of
the same sources of revenue by
Federal and State governments
should be eliminated, with the Fed
eral Government refraining from
further encroachment into the field
of sales taxes"
The commission pledged the
American Legion's support in carry
ing on and developing the principles
Of foreign policy represented by the
declarations of Teheran, Moscow
and Cairo, together with the Con-
nally and Fulbright resolutions.
The group advised that the Gov
ernment settle war contracts in gen.
eral accord with recommendation
of the Baruch-Hancock report and
that speculative buying be prevent
ed in the disposal of surplus prop
erty.
A recommendation was made that
postwar credit be made accessible

seeking to resume civilian produc-
ton.
( The report suggested that controls
over commodities, prices and wages
be abandoned as soon as practicable:
advocated ownership or control Of
to the national security; recon-
mended the development of home
and foreign markets for the
farmers products and urged uni
versal military training.

Capital Hill Seeks
Specific Data on
Youth Training
BY the Associated Press.

Capitol Hill called on President
Roosevelt today to be more specific
in his recommendation for a Nation
wide study Of postwar compulsory
Federal youth training. 1t reiterated
its belief in straight-away compul-
sorry military training after the war.
There was general feeling on the
House side that the President had
in mind, when he outlined his views
at news conference yesterday, a
renewal in some form of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, which Congress
has liquidated.
The President told reporters he
did not have compulsory military
training in mind, since the 1000 900
to 1250,OO0 youths who might be
available for such training would be
given a combination Of military and
civilian training. He said, he wished
that the pepole would study the
question because of the tremendous
amount of surplus military housing
that will exist after the war.
Housing Offers Many Uses.
These facilities, the President said,
could be used to take care Of sick
and wounded veterans, to provide
vocational training, and to provide
training of other types, including
military.
ut sounds like universal military
training to me-" commented Repre-
sentative Harness, Republican, Of
Indiana, a member of the House
Military Affairs Committee.
Chairman Woodrum of the Special
House Committee on Postwar Mill
tary Planning said he did not think
there is any need for a CCC."
Chairman May Of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee declined to
comment but is known to favor
compulsory peacetime military
training of one year for the Nations
youths.
Il was afraid the President would
get social angle into it" COM
mented Representative Wadsworth,
Republican, of New York, author of
pending compulsory military train
ing legislation. Il think the train
ing should be solely military, always
remembering that in modern mill
tary training there is much of edu-
cational value. but the objective
should be military"
Fears "Crackpot Theorists"
Representative Izac, Democrat, OF
California, member of the Naval
Affairs Committee, advocated a year
of outright military training as
| far superior to having some sky
larking arrangement where they
can do what they want just to utilize
some buildings"
Compulsory military training, II
ordered by Congress, should not
be a CCC or under the influence
of crackpot theorists" said Repre-
sentative Kilday, Democrat, OF
Texas.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, OF
Kentucky also took issue with the
President, saying he opposes any
form Of compulsory physical or mill
tary training. Instead. he said
there should be adopted a broad
ened program of physical training
and sports in schools and colleges
participation to be voluntary.

With the House moving toward
vote on the bill to create surplus
property disposal machinery, the
Senate was confronted today with
proposal to set up an eight-mem-
Der board to direct the sale OF
an estimated 800 900 900 900 worth
Of plants, automotive equipment,
planes and other war material.
Pending legislation would put the
disposal program under a single
administrator
A House vote before Tuesday
seemed unlikely. The forces there
were split yesterday on proposals to
give priorities on surpluses for soil
conservation use, schools and public
institutions The House Is in recess
until Monday.
The substitution of the eight
member board for the administrator
was approved late yesterday by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee,
which in surprise move. accepted
this amendment by Senator john
son, Democrat, Of Colorado to the
pending Murray-Stewart-T Taft bill.
Truman Talks Reconversion.
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri announced after a White
House luncheon that he had dis
cussed reconversion with the Presi-
dent and planned to see him again
on the issue. The Presidents views
on the subject have not been pub
| liShed.
In the House debate, Representa-
tive Poage, Democrat, of Texas
rounded up some support for his
plan to give the Agriculture Depart
ment access to surplus equipment so
1t could be used in soil conservation
and flood control, but the amend
ment was shouted down on a voice
vote. Representative Taber, Repub-
lican. Of New York voiced the OBJ
lection that it was nothing more
than an unlimited appropriation u
for Agriculture Department.
Representative Tarver, Democrat,
Of Georgia offered the amendment
to give schools and institutions some
OF the surplus equipment, but Rep
resentative Manasco, Democrat, of
Alabama, floor manager of the bill.
protested it as gift" of material
that should be sold for as much as
the Government can get.
The Tarver plan was voted down
SO to 81.
No Gifts" to Be Made.
The House then adopted on voice
votes amendments requiring public
notice before any surplus property
may be destroyed, rewording one
section to guarantee" against max
ing gifts" of any of the property
and prohibiting the dumping of sur
plus crops and food on the market
at less than parity prices.
At the same time the National
Farmers Union came out with a
statement sharply critical of Will
liam l.. Clayton. the present sur
plus property administrator. James
G.. Patton, union president, said
President Roosevelt should remove
Mr.. Clayton because OF his demon
strated hostility to the true interests
of farmers, small business and
labor"
He is now selling this property
of as fast as he can without regard
for the views OF farmers, small
business and labor. He Is too ex-
pensive a luxury for the American
people" Mr.. Patton said.
An amendment by Representative
Voorhis, Democrat, of California
was adopted tentatively which re-
quires the administrator to sell IN
small lots to the small operator
where practical before the big bust
ness interests may bid
