lieves there is no valid reason for
anyone to be out of work today.
The USES takes pride In the
fact ii can find work for any per
son. man or woman. regardless OF
age or physical handicaps.
II substantiated that claim with
a few examples.
A spry woman of So, clear OF eye
and firm OF voice, strobe into the
central headquarters here and de-
lmanded Job. She said she was
bored staying at home.
"I'll wait until you find me
work." she said.
Within a few minutes. the USES
reported. the little, old lady was

nal corps equipment at a large Chi
cago war plant.
About the same time an 81 year
old man. tired OF inactivity. asked
for job. He received work as an
elevator operator in a hospital.
Physical handicaps and old age
now are disregarded entirely by
employers seeking workers. The
USES said that recently persons
with great physical disabilities
were hired. Some lacked arms or
legs and the majority were blind.
A striking example was a blind
woman who was hired to test
equipment with. two one-hund.
redths OF an inch without a gauge
Within a few weeks, her employer
said. she was faster and more &C
curate than the ether inspectors
who were using gauges. He at.
tributed this to her sensitiveness
of touch.

continued, Is the entertainment

The USES said the majority Of

they were engaged before entering

ton OF the majority report would
deprive the United States OF amy
effective machinery for bringing
about settlement OF labor disputes"
during wartime.
Considering the fact that Il
(WLB) Is composed OF one third OF
representative OF organized labor"
the majority report said, zone
third OF members chosen from in
dustry. and one third OF members
chosen from the public at large.
and that II is confronted with the
most controversial OF questions
concerning which two thirds OF its
members were admittedly biased,
II was inevitable that many. OF us
decisions would be the target OF
vehement criticism by the dissent
ing minority whether labor or in
dustry.'
Smiths group listed the follow
ing WLB policies as highly dan.
gerous and menacing to the system
Of private enterprise and the con-
stitutional right OF judicial re.
view OF administrative decisions:
!. The boards policy that I'm
the determination OF a wage dis
pute the question OF the financial
status or ability to pay OF the en-
ployer Is irrelevant and immater-
ial and that any employer whose
business does not justify payment
of what the board regards as a de-
cent standard OF wages is econom-
ically inefficient and ought not to
be permitted to remain in bust
ness"
2. The board takes the position
that II has the right not only to
fix future wages but to render a
money award for back wages for
services already rendered and paid
for without affording the employer
an effective right OF judicial re-
view"
3. The board has promulgated
and enforced a new legal doctrine
to the effect that 1t has the power
and authority to compel the par
ties to execute a contract to do
anything that the parties might
voluntarily do"
4. THE War Labor Dispute Act
prohibits the board from any &C.
ton in conflict with the National
Labor Relations Act The latter
prohibits the employer from any
action that encourages or discour-
ages membership in a labor union.
except by voluntary agreement be-
tween employer and union"
TO order an employer against
his will to encourage membership
in a union by requiring continu-
ance of membership as a condition
of employment, or requiring the
check-off OF union dues....is clear
ly in violation of the specific terms
of the law
5. The WLB has not confined
itself to labor disputes or war in.
dustries but has assumed jurisdic-
ton over all types of interstate
commerce and intrastate business,
no matter how remotely they may
be removed from any connection
with the war effort"
6. The WLB has compelled en-
ployers and employees to agree to
submit disputes to arbitration.
Compulsory arbitration which re-
quires the parties to abide by the
arhitrator's decision is in violation
Of the constitutional rights OF the
parties"

AS FIRST CLASS MAIL
 Because of the many advant- ages tha twill result. postmasters are urging mailers 10 send their holiday greetings at the first class rate of postage. explaining that when so sent the greetings may be sealed and conain written mes sages not otherwise permitted. therefore having a personal appeal which is, of course, more highly appreciated by the recipients; that such greetings are dispatched and delivered first, given directory service, and if necessary, forward ed without additional charge; also if unbelievable, they are return ed without charge provided the senders' return card is shown on the envelope.
 On the other hand, printed Christmas greetings mailed in un- sealed envelopes at the third-class rate which cannot be delivered as addressed because of the re- moval of the addressee or for some other reason, musa ofen be destroyed as waste, thereby causing disappointment. Greet ings mailed at the third class rate are not entitled to the free forwarding privilege accorded to those mailed in sealed envelopes at the first-class rate and, con- sequently, the senders in many cases never know that the greet ings were not received by the ad- dresses. This would never oc- cur if the greetings were mailed sealed at the first-class rate.
