Boss Denied Union
Security Escape
Clause Rem uins In Effect
When Contract Is Re-

"Union security" once established
by agreement between a union and an
employer, must remain in effect when
the contract is renewed, the National
War Labor Board ruled this week
1t rejected demand made by the
management of the Paul & Beekman
Company, Philadelphia, that 15-day
escape clause" be included in the re-
newal. Under such clause, employees
who are union members have Is days
in which to resign if they do not wish
to be bound by provisions which re-
quire them to maintain their member
ship for the duration of the agree
ment if they wish to hold their jobs.
The board made it clear that il
"will not reduce the degree of union
security which has once been agreed
to voluntarily in collective bargain
ing"

There is much talk about Post war
planning when in fact we should bt
working out our 'Pre-peace" problems
Reconversion has started. War plants
are now being dismantled. UnemplOy
ment is here Instead of attending con
ferences and passing resolutions fOl
blue prints of plans after the shooting
stops, we should be solving i'm prac-
tical manner the problems that are
already with us.
One of the best formulas for main
tanning American union labor stand
ards is to buy Union Label goods and
to use Union services To accomplish
the best results for organized labor it
is far better to have collective bar
gaining contracts with private enter
prise than to have labor unions con-
trolIed and regimented by government
agencies. For example, the Federal
Government does not insist upon the
Union Label on products purchased
although 50 per cent of its procurement
is union-made. Then there is always
the danger that labor unions will be
used as part OF political machine in
which case they. are dominated by
bureaucratic agencies of the govern
ment. In order to have free labor we
must have free labor unions
The first test of every labor union is
what is can do for its members. 1t is

This assurance has not yet been given
by either party
Byrnes says the Controlled Materials
Plan, The best system of materials con-
troll yet devised by the War Produc-
ished after Germany capitulates. Why?
Krug says that all "existing controls

we ought to continue all of these con-
trolls 10 speed the reconversion of in
dustry and to promote higher wages
after the war. If organized labor is
going 10 acquieSce in the relaxation Of
control 1t must be prepared to protect
its interest in post war jobs by union
action. Can ii protect itself without
some aid from the Federal Govern
ment?
ReconyerSiOn needs are very simple.
If they were presented TO the people
in Il simple form, there would be wide
spread agreement about the reconver-
sion program. What we need are:

tracts and postwar materials controls
which emphasize civilian needs. \ liSt

from war contracts and material
limitations first.

Hancock plan, which emphasizes the
termination of contracts To the advan-
tage of companies engaged in war
work rather than the unemployment
of war workers. II is essentially II plan

tractors and neglects the needs OF
labor.
CD The continuation of the War

To control the How Of scarce materials
for civilian production until il is
proved that this is unnecessary. On be
half of small business the Smaller
War Plants Corporation has recon-
mended the continuation of war regu
lations. Big business thinks otherwise,
ca We need adequate provisions for
the expansion of purchasing power
after the war. As Nathan and others
have pointed out, there can be no sue
cessful reconyersion without adequate
purchasing power. If the Federal Gov
ernment maintains this purchasing
power through appropriate budgetary
measures, we shall have rapid and
efficient reconverSion. If ii does not,
the results will be catastrophe. There
is no way OF inSuring complete recon
version except through the mainten
ance of ample consumer demand. We
hope that this will be provided.

The Germans have been ruthless in
their efforts to stop the strike. Fam

Putten and Berkel were burned TO the

the closing down of electric generator

keep the land dry, fresh water avail

cities The NaZis say no coal will be
brought in until the strike is ended.
The Germans also blame the food

no food can be brought in until it is
