Labor Department Issues
The Foremdn's Guide
To Labor Relations

Washington, D. C. QLNS). - An
nouncing publication of new bulletin,
"The Foreman's Guide to Labor Rela-
tions," the Division of Labor Stand
ards, U. s. Labor Department, says:
Mncreasing recognition that their
foremen's human relations with work
ers may make or break the company's
labor policies has led many firms to
institute forman training in labor re-
lations.
"To meet widespread management
demand for training materials, 'The
Foreman's Guide to Labor Relations
pools the experience of top manage
ment, personnel directors, operating
foremen, union officers and govern
ment representatives in the labor
field. 1t covers management, supervi-
sion and labor relations; the foreman
and collective bargaining; and the
foreman and the individual worker.
"Stressing that there are no final
answers in human relations the bull
letin discusses the development of la
Dor policies and personnel procedures
to meet the basic needs of workers
for security, reasonably good wages,
a chance to advance, the desire for
fair treatment and for self-expres-
sion. Discussion Of wartime man
power controls is omitted because the
purpose is to stress basic principles
of good industrial relations in vol
untary long-run program"

Necessary To Attract
And Hold Personnel

Washington, d. C. QLNS. - In
crease of the basic pay rates of fed
eral government employees and en-
actment of a permanent overtime law
is asked by the Civil Service Com
mission, in it's annual report, just
issued. The American Federation OF
Government Employees, AFL, anc
other organizations of federal em.
ployees have repeatedly urged the
same program. 1fs4lh
The commission also urged:
AFTER the war, all federal en-
ployees required to work on national
holidays should be paid for such work
at ~ times the rate for ordinary
days.
2-Salaried federal workers should
be eligible for pay increases every
IL months in the lower salaried
groups, instead of every Is and 30
months as at present.
3+Federal employees should be
made eligible for unemployment com
pensation benefits, or else given a
90-day dismissal wage
The commission postponed submis-
sion of review of it's work in order
to give emphasis to it's recommended
tions which, it declared "should be
put into effect at once"
Asserting that the federal govern
ment "must be the most progressive
employer in the nation" the report
declared that upward revision of
basic pay rates is necessary to "at-
tract and hold personnel whose quail
fications are above question"
Immediate Study Favored
1t recommended "an immediate re-
examination of basic rates of pay for
salaried employees in order to deter
mine what adjustments should be
made as result of the increases over
a period of the past several years, in
the cost of living"
Pointing out that the present over
time pay law expires next June 80,
the commission urged that before
then permanent legislation be enact
ed to:
l-"Authorize additional pay at
IL times the regular rate for all
in excess of 40 hours in
any administrative work week."
2-"Provide that overtime pay be
computed according to formula that
converts per annum rates to hourly
rates by dividing by 1850 (52 weeks
times 40 hours)."
The report held that it will be nee
essary for all employers, both public
and private, to discourage overtime
work after the war by providing for
additional compensation at higher
rates of pay "if the goal of full en-

Economist Sees Wages
Rising Through l945

Cleveland QLNS)-Hourly straight
time wages Of factory workers will
probably continue upward in 1945 and
20 million Americans will change jobs
during the year and 1916, as indus
tries change from war to peacetime
production, Brig. Gen. Leonard P.
Ayres predicted.
Gen. Ayres, Cleveland Trust Co.,
vice president and well known econ
omist, told the Cleveland Chamber of
Commerce that there will be more
unemployment in 1945 than in 1914
and that the number of labor disputes
resulting in strikes will be more
numerous than they have been this
year.
Ayres also said it is wholly prob
ably that the industrial wage rates
will be higher at the end of both our
wars than at the time of the Pearl
Harbor attack. When war began in
Europe in 1889, the average factory
wage in the u S. was $24 weekly and
in 1914 it has risen to above SAG, he
said

New AFL Program
To Aid Disabled

Washington, ID. CA broad pro-
gram of rehabilitation for the physi-
cally handicapped, supervised by q
general committee including repre-
sentatives Of labor and war veterans,
was suggested by the AFL at hear
ing before the Kelley subcommittee
Of the House Committee on Labor
which is investigating the plight OF
millions of blind, deaf, crippled and
otherwise disabled Americans.
Following admissions by govern
ment officials that the present pro-
gram reaches only small fraction of
the men, women and children with
serious defects of one kind or an
other, the proposal presented by the
Federation's legislative representa-
tive, Lewis G. Hines made deep
impression upon the committee.
Hines declared that, with casualties
on the battlefield mounting steadily
and the number of manned in fac
tories running a close second, it is
obvious that the need for a humane
program with "teeth" i'm it will be
greater than ever before.
He also hit at the present system,
charging it has resulted in the handi-
capped being screened out" of gain
full employment.
"We are going to find that the old
time methods of keeping these people
out of jobs to keep down the employ
ers' insurance rates will not work and
that it will be necessary to establish
a Federal compensation program
along with the program for physical
and vocational rehabilitation" Hines
declared.

Rights Imply
Responsibilities

The Bill of Rights is a favorit,
topic with all American speakers-n'
matter what their viewpoint or theil
politics. 1t is the one surefire hit.
We all believe in the principles EN-
bodied in the Bill of Rights. We pro
claim it as the foundation stone Of
our democracy. We brag of its in
surance of our liberties as we wave
the flag. We flaunt its great phrase:
in the faces of our enemies.
But-do we live up to the ideal il
embodies? ? Do we carry out in oul
national, in our community, in oul
personal life its great teachings?
We emphasize the equality before
the law for which it stands. We say
we oppose Observation-Disclosures this
is the abhorrent idea of the so-called
master race" But-are we free from
the taint of discrimination How dc
we Judge our neighbors Bigotry and
intolerance can be allowed no place
in our own lives, if we would be true
to our own heritage and destiny.
The people have, through the Bill
of Rights, the inalienable right to the
furthering by the State of equality
Of opportunity. But they have it not
merely as State-given right, but
as a God-given one. Freedom from
discrimination is spiritual as well as
material condition for human de-
velopment.
This does not mean that all people
must have equal amounts of every
thing-but it does mean that they
must have an equal opportunity to
develop their talents, to do profitable
and worthwhile work-without being
hampered by determinations based
upon anything other than their ability
and their willingness to work with
their fellow-men.
The only way we can defend our
liberties is to see to it that the law
is administered impar and
equally to all the people of the coun-
try. The pledge to our flag makes this
clear.
II pledge allegiance to the flag of
the United States of America and to
the Republic for which it stands, one
nation indivisible, with liberty and
justice for ALL"
The last two words-"for all"-are
the essence of the Bill of Rights-but
before we brag too much about them,
let us do a little soul-searching and
see if we live up to them in our own
lives. Rights imply responsibilities.

5000 More Jobs Reported
In Boston Thun Workers

Boston (ILNS). Leon j. Kowal
War Manpower Commission regional
director has reported that about 5000
more workers are needed i'm the
greater Boston area and it appears
possible to find only 5000. He said
that 5000 workers had left jobs in
major war plants here in the last 2
months.
Kowal added that two-thirds of
those quitting war plants We're
women. There have been few cut
backs, he reported, and workers af-
fected had been readily absorbed by
other plants.
He also said that there had been an
increase in employment in less essen
tial business, including clubs, hotels,
restaurants and real estate.

Spot Authorization Banned
In areas where manpower is most
critical, Krug told the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers annual
meeting, there will be no further spot
authorizations for period of 80 days
Except in the most unusual cases"
ain all labor areas" he added, "it
should be emphasized that resumption
of civilian production will be possible
only because neither the labor nor
the materials involved are needed for
war production.
Because of the extremely heavy
manpower demands for war produc-
ton, it is not possible at this time to
grant any blanket exemption from
these policies even for the smaller
war plants"
Readjustment Planned
The .WPB chief said 1--WE will be
able to meet the steep schedules
which have been set only if American
management and labor stay on the
JON until the weapons Of war have
been completed and readjustment to
peace is possible"
The War Production Board, Krug
said, has been working for many
months, together with the Army and
Navy and other war agencies, on
plans for the readjustment of Ameri-
can industry which will come at the
end of the German war and the fur
ther readjustment which will come
when Japan is defeated.

Rise Postponed Times
The White House and organized la
Dor want the per cent tax to go into
effect Jan. /. They want to go for
ward along the policy lines laid down
by Congress in 1885 and in 1889. Un'
der that policy, the 2 per cent tax was
due to go into effect in 1943. 1t has
already been postponed 3 times.
Congressman who voted to retain
the / per cent tax say that the ST.
SOC, ,0OO,0 reserve which will be
available at the end of 1945 will be
from 5 to Z times the amount that
will be needed to meet annual obliga-
tions.
Labor view is that this is half of
the money needed to take care of
payments in 20 years, which is the
proper insurance unit of measure. On
that basis, the fund is insolvent. If
the / per cent rate is continued, pay
ments eventually will correspond to
a government dole. President Green
of the AFL said: "The workers of
this nation want a sound social in
surance program and they are will
ing to help meet its costs through
adequate payroll deductions"
Labor looks on those who voted for
postponement of the per cent in
crease as opponents of an adequate
system of social security, their votes
prompted by fear that establish
ment of big insurance reserves will
lead to pressures for increasing social
security benefits; the next Congress
will witness an aggressive campaign
for new legislation based on the
Wagner Murray -Dingell bill. The need
for an increased employer-employee
levy will be inescapable should such
bill pass.
Tax Increases Easier Now
But even without increased benefits
and increased coverage, say, labor
spokesmen, another freezing at the !
per cent level now will only mean that
when the increase comes it must, on a
purely mathematical basis, be fixed
at much higher level, perhaps even
at 54o, and that rate will be much
harder for both employers and work
ers to absorb.
Above all, labor wants the dignity
and security which goes with sound
social security system; it breads the
thought Of any system tinged with a
government dole.

THREATENS AGAIN
,(From the New York Times)


At the outbreak Of war the fight
against tuberculosis was making such
progress that the more optimistic
health officers were confident that in
another generation the statistics
would proclaim something that could
be called a conquest That optimism
is chilled by the events which have
occurred since Hitler occupied one
country after another and disrupted
life in the western world
tuberculosis always follows war.
1t is now raging with epidemic viol-
ence in Europe, and there is threat
ened rise in this country. The reasons
are emotional strain, long hours of
work, food shortages. In 3 states,
New York, New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts, which contain one-sixth of
our population, the total number of
deaths from tuberculosis increased
5.5 per cent during 1943. Every day
the war continues, the threat of a
further increase remains. Last year
tuberculosis killed $4,000 in the
United States, rate of person
every minutes, and $4,000 new
cases were reported.
We have here reason why the
Christmas Seal campaign merits the
support of every citizen. 1t is bad
enough that a war should devastate
half the world; it is worse that it
should be accompanied by the in

More than 6,5OO,0O0 workers are
now organized in about 1000 local
labor-management committees to boost
suggestions for increasing Industrial
production. We wonder when some

go to work and tell the solons and the
country about these great contribu-
tions Of American labor especially in
the aircraft, iron and steel plants.
